Bugger me

Another board layout

Dandontdare · 10 July, 2009, 10:40:55 PM

According to my screen, 0 members and 0 guests are viewing the board, yet new posts still appear! Maybe I'm just hallucinating you all.....

Same for me DDD.

Judge Lamia is the new board moderator. We're all dead.

Dark Jimbo · 10 July, 2009, 11:23:39 PM

Hmm... I thought this board was meant to have less spam than the last one? So far, it seems to have three times as much...

Steel Rabbit · 10 July, 2009, 11:31:56 PM

Ahh! This new red/beige/white layout isn't that great guys... Can we have the old one back, or at least one that doesn't hurt my eyes?

Peter Wolf · 10 July, 2009, 11:46:26 PM

I think some of these spammers are signing up manually the same as everyone else does.

Persistent little F*******.

Did anyone see the Russian Lesbian Pornography earlier ?

One way in has been closed but its impossible to stop completely .

It looks like the SFX forum (which I imagine with Rebellion being DeathRay publishers is possibly deliberate), but rougher around the edges and a bit half-finished looking, but I put that impression down to the colour scheme. It's kind of bland, and the loss of an active topics option seems odd.

Change is good only when it brings something better, imo.

I quite like this. My Judge Fish continues to appear, so all is right with the world!

All hail Deputy Chief Judge Fish!

Guess it will take time to get used to it.

Although I agree it does seem to blend together and makes it harder to see where one post ends and another starts.

And please bring back view active threads...

Steel Rabbit · 11 July, 2009, 09:52:04 AM

I gotta say guys, I love the people here at the 2000AD forums, but I can't continue here with this layout... It's a little frustrating.

OpusAndBill · 11 July, 2009, 10:20:30 AM

The only good reason to change the forum layout is if it stops spam. We've all ready heard from one of the moderators that his options on that front are less than they were on the old forum. How is that an improvement? I didn't see any spam on the old forum at all. Now I'm seeing it for the first time - and not liking it.

Can we revert?

Jim_Campbell · 11 July, 2009, 10:28:40 AM

Yeah ... I appreciate that something like this is always a thankless task for those who have to implement it, but there are a number of things that will actively keep me off this board, which surely defeats the point of a re-vamp?

1) Active Topics - sorry, I'm not clicking through every category heading to see what the newest post is. We need this back ASAP.

2) Colour scheme - as previously noted, it's very hard to see where one post ends and the next begins. We need a darker grey, I think.

3) Like PJ says - is it just a Safari bug, but top right of my screen shows Home / Help / Search and then a whole bunch of stuff all piled up on top of each other. Actually, it is a Safari issue, because it works OK in Firefox:

Firefox:

Safari:

Nonetheless, Safari is supposed to be a pretty standards-compliant browser, so it's strange that it can't correctly render this part of the layout ...

4) Spoiler tags: may not seem like a big deal, but they were used extensively here.

5) AAAAH! My fucking killfile doesn't work!

Cheers

Jim

Can I add my voice to sorting these two in particular. Cheers

Overall all though nice job and I'm happy with the new (well I've just noticed them) posting formatting options.
