Hi all,

As you can see, the forum has been upgraded! I think it looks a lot fresher.

Any issues, bugs or limitations of the new version, please report them here. We'll be tweaking it in the coming weeks.

Cheers,
CD

Taken by surprise! I miss the little home section on top left to flip back to main page. Very like other sites. Liked it's old character.

i dont like it.

no view latest posts etc.

why fix something that wasnt broke.

The forum software was old and couldn't be supported. It started to fail more frequently (remember we lost some data?) and had to be upgraded.

It can be tweaked and brought up to speed. That's why I'm asking people to give their suggestions!

You said "no view latest posts etc." What is the "etc"?

sorry dogman that reply was to jujuno..

post 6 is directly to you.

i understand the upgrade. us oldies dont like change thats all, we will gwt used to it tho, adaption is how we managed to become oldies.

that and alot of skivving.

by the way i have 32 pages of PM messages, every pm ever sent me is back, even tho they were deleted.

that maybe a space/load burden if its the same for everyone, or it may not, i dont understand that bit,
just thought i would mention it.

I LIKE. but am i no longer mod of the golf forum??

Not to bad at all. Just needs a little getting use to.

took me a while to remember my password

Am I the only one finding the text hard to read?

I was kinda taken by surprise by the new look but it's starting to grow on me..
Some things that I think could be done to improve, pls dont take the wrong way cos I like it but a few things I noted that could make it better:

1. Maybe have a link to post reply at the bottom of a thread as well as the quick reply link, would save having to scroll back up to post a reply

2. Colour scheme on the main page could be improved, for example, the grey parts on the main page with the darker grey font on top, its a bit of a strain to read

What about something like this, with a light blue area with a black font over the top, easier on the eyes and separates the sections better than the current white/grey contrasts?



3. Under names it says 'Rank: Member' does that mean that it no longer has the athlete names?
I dunno I thought that was kinda cool, working our way up to get the superstar like Michael Jordan or Muhammad Ali, and explaining what the whole thing meant to new ppl that joined hahah

4. threads clicking on the 'General Discussions' section comes up empty when I clicked on it just now, and could only click on the most recent thread to view it. Maybe a glitch?

5. underneath posts where it says PM / EMail / WWW looks a bit odd, might be better to have icons for those? Same with 'Quote'

Also the placement of PM might be better next to the person's name rather than under the post.
Here's a rough example of what I mean, with the current version above and what I am saying in the image below:



6. One other thing I noticed that was kinda strange was just now while typing this message which is pretty long, when I mouse over the smileys panel the page scrolls up by itself. No biggie just something I noticed
But overall I like the new look of the site, the squarish look with boxes looks cool. Only other suggestion I can think of right now is that it would be a great time to add more emoticons to the site as well since the site is being revamped.

Anyway I'm gonna check it out now too.. just noticed all my old PM's are back now as well hahah

Just noticed its working again now.. strange

make the pages longer than 20 posts if you can CD.

it was 25 before, thats for purely selfish reasons.
