New forum software installed

Andreas Raht · 06-16-2004, 08:59 AM

Hey guys, I hope you enjoy the new forums software.
Please report any bugs & problems to me.
Thanks!

Please let us edit our posts after 5 minutes. If you have a long thread it is considerate to the readers of your thread to edit the first post with updates instead of having them have to read the entire thread (think mods and online leagues threads especially). Think of all the unnecessary new threads that people will make otherwise.

Just to let you know, I think there are a lot of people that still can't get the board to work.

HolyCow98 · 06-19-2004, 04:21 AM

Hmm...Andreas posts says 6-16...for some reason it didn't work for me till the 19th in the A.M.

I've been checking a few times a day.

I like it so far...still has that new feeling...gotta get used to it...but its a lot faster than the old one.

Andreas Raht · 06-19-2004, 10:16 AM

Glad you like it!
We've had some problems with getting the new nameserver into the global registry, but now we're online again - I guess it will need some hours until all global DNS servers are updated - looking forward to meet you all here soon again!

Thanks Andreas. Glad to be here!

I would love to see Quick Reply enabled by default (so I don't have to click a button first, which kind of defeats the purpose).

This is set the way it is so that other viewing modes can be enabled, I have not tried any of the alternate views yet so cannot comment as to their benefit.

Intriguing. I like it.

You can't post fighters because the board doesn't recognize the file extension ending of .tbdx. That's gonna be a problem on the Title bout forum

Tib · 06-19-2004, 03:11 PM

I second kq76's request. I spotted a couple of typos in my post and couldn't fix them.

Cuss16 · 06-19-2004, 04:03 PM

I like it, this is defintely better than the old avatar-less, function-less forum.

Thanks for the quick fix. You'd be an excellent drug dealer

Karros270 · 06-19-2004, 09:47 PM

Awesome, awesome boards! I would have been happy with just a working board with all of the old functions back but this new board definitely tops the old one.

Kezzek · 06-19-2004, 11:30 PM

1. What's the point of having to click a "quick reply" button to make a "quick reply"?

2. The drop down lists for "Forum Tools" and whatnot are extra junk. Why over complicate things? It was night just to be able to click a link to mark the forum read.

Cuss16 · 06-20-2004, 12:46 AM

please get rid of the flood control, it bothers me when I am in the mood to spam.

at least in the OT section.
