NEWS: Forum Overhaul

[matt]

One oddity that I just noticed is that after I posted it took me back to the main page and not back to my message or the thread.

This should be fixed.

I guess the post count only counts new posts.

Unfortunately we did.

Looks like I need to post without really adding anything just to increase my post count..... so really nothing new!

I did see that the "Latest Forum Posts" is not up and running.

Not a problem, just something I saw.
Also... new forum means new avatar for me! A Battletoad is much cooler than a Ninja Baseball Bat Man anyways

Looks good!

Yup no problem now.

I know that you have a lot on your plate with the change over but it would be nice to have a link to the poster's collection either under the user name next to Profile or PM or it could even be in the profile.

I'm off for the night. I know there are a few things still yet to be addressed. One of which being the forum profile settings. Right now there is no way to handle your notifications. Hopefully I'll fix this tomorrow. I've been at this for 2 days ha. Gnight all.

I was ready to change mine, but then I saw how it looked on the little info panel at the top.

[amauriel]

Alright, I did a new avatar too, I doubt it'll last too long. Cute gaming things are OK, but it's when things just are "cute" that I feel too girly to be spouting off publishers and developers.

[foxhack]

I just went with my usual avatar instead of Big Cheese.

[madmax]

Hehe everyones a newbie now!

This looks a lot more like the forums I had on my old website. i like these a lot better

Might I suggest changing the and to the nes cart?

edit: and access to staff forums

I second this.

[kirbysuperstar]

Also you gotta enable spam control.

etc

Looking good otherwise, though I did love the minimalism of the old forum. Oh well!

[madmax]

The post count here and on the stats page

Don't correspond. I'm sure that it'll be fixed soon. Just pointing it out..

Also @Matt (does this tag still work?) if you need help with the forum, setting up groups, fixing post counts (if you want to adjust them to reflect stats page) and just any other type of stuff. Feel free to ask, I have quite a bit of experience setting up this kind of forum.

Edit: the off topic section is getting spammed like crazy :/

I second this.

I also thought about this last night. I was thinking either the cart that dstone attached, or the grey cart from the app menu.
