Just been an the new board and think that it's a big improvment

I understand that it is a lot quicker, but there's not many people on the system to slow it down yet.

With not having a lot of time to really push the system to it's limits, i've tried to have a play with some of the new features.....

I'm very impressed with it all up to now. We all know there will be a few ghost in the machine but they wont be resloved until we get more people testing the board Come on people let's all help out

Back to the post, As most things you seem to miss the little touches that make using forums like this easier and more enjoyable.........

The way the profile is split up and makes it more accessible.

The Friends/Foe Selection is very good and simple to do and helps out when sending PM's.

The Bookmarking & Subscribing facility is very handy, I like the way you can recive updates to selected posts

Attaching files to post from your computer is aslo a niffty liitle trick!

I know that my post isn't super constructive but i suppose it all helps.

Sorry Stu,

I can appreciate the effort that has gone in, but I actually prefer the look of this site and can see nothing wrong with it, but maybe I am getting old!

Just had a quick scout around on the test site, looks good & I like all the new features. Only one thing I noticed is that when you place the cursor over the topic title you dont get a preview of the contant of the thread.

seemed ok to me just went over for a look

S2martin

Thats alright then lol wondered if i was too tired last night and was seeing things

Less.

seems okay a bit quicker but had problems yesterday with it

I haven't got anything constructive to add, it works, to be honest as long as I can post, see posts and search thats all that matters, I don't use all these new fangled fancy things like 'friends and foes' lol, I suppose its nice to have the facility to do extra things, but personally I probably wouldn't use them, you know people say we hate change? I prefer the look to the current forum but thats just superficial

Z

Less.

layout looks very dull compared to this version

It definitely feels quicker, but we don't know how long it will stay like that for unless we keep hitting it with the normal amount of traafic Pf normally gets...

I'm with closing Pf and re-directing it each evening for say a week

Turbocabbie

sorry for the delay.. only checked my email this morning (I was working last night)

I like the new board to be honest its more intuitive and feels more usable and flexible, I even like the default skin as it seems clean and fresh

Its unfair to make a statement on performance as until typical heavy loadings are placed upon it you will not really know however presently I have no issues

Its a good improvement to phpbb imho and that's something as I generally dislike the application

Brookesy

I like it, at least you can stop people you don't want to speak to from pm'ing you.

I presume the pf logo & advertising banner will be added to it as well if we do use it as the new pf forum?

shut this site down for one day and put on the front page goto https://passionford.com/phpbb3/

KW-rscos

All seems good, though i dont think I fully take advantage of the features on this site so Im not sure that I might be any good at testing it for you

the one thing I wil say is will the mouse-over be added?

frog

I've been banned


Please re-instate me, I am sure Pet has better things to do than receive an email from me

Paddy

You're unbanned although you were only set to be for 30 minutes

And you DID volunteer

frog

I did

Craftily managed to log in as mrsFrog though

mmm, maybe that'll be me banned again !

frog

Stu/Pet,

one annoyance I have just noticed, is that with the smilies on the left of the response box (where you type a response to a thread), you have to scroll a lot more to get to the "submit" button.
In fact, with this version, I don't have to scroll at all

PS: Should there be a thread for constructive criticism and nothing else, no banter, no "i don't like it" to help pet/stu sort out the weed from the chaff ?

gar mae

Agree because most people arn't using the new one

"At least one new post has been made to this topic. You may wish to review your post in light of this."

hmmm

Paddy

Good idea, but if that doesn't happen I just noticed that when you click a link to an external site [like gracies picture site], it doesn't open in a new window.

To me that's a problem

PeterD

looks promising, big visual change from this one.

cracking though

I tried posting pics in the resto section but it says they are too big. Will the new board have the same resizing feature as this one as im crap with resizing/changing pics
Not done much else yet but all seems fine so far.

Yesterday evening I managed to register using a ficticious address. The result is ofcourse I did not receive the activation email.

Yes. Activation system was disabled today to solve that very problem.
