I get put in a login loop when trying to log in to "New and Improved" forums.
So let me get the nerdrage stuff out of the way first. In the words of Maestro Ulv:
Quote: The new forums are complete w*nk. They went the way of all none thinking corporate monkeys who decided form over function was the way to a better future.
Form over function people!! How does anyone who builds anything these days, not understand this?? Too many pretty pictures, wide margins, graphics that look like they belong in a thought bubble above Wile E. Coyote (Supergenious)! SERIOUSLY!
Now: ItÆs all very pretty but thatÆs not (imho) what we want. (in no particular order) -Search function (check?) -Ease of use (have already had issues logging in, replying, posting, reading à #fail) -Performance (fantasy: click on button, something happensà. NOT reality: click on button and à. and à and à and ààààààààà. #fail) -Something better than EVEGate (This should probably be #1) - Text that isn't confined to a 10cm (4in) strip in the middle of a monitor that is 47cm wide (do your own conversion)
LetÆs face it. EveGate is full of functional issues that have yet to be addressed and you are creating a forum based on this?? IÆm not an idiot (yes there are ppl that dissagree w/ this) and IÆm not the type to rage-quit over anything. I just wonÆt use the forum feature. I only use EVEGate if something is pressing and IÆm expecting mail while IÆm OOG.
I assume your eventual goal for this is for all users to actually use forums? I rarely use them now as they are, in their current iteration, sh*t. The new and improved version is useless.
Unlike some of my fellow users, I really donÆt care about emoticons. Sure, nice to have but not really. I would love to have Smartphone functionality but that can wait as well.
I want simple, easy to use forums that work.
See what I did there. I just deleted most of the shiny bells and whistles that really shouldnÆt be there: eg. Massive Avatars, Borders, Cartoon like quotes, àà
How about an alternate style sheet for those that donÆt want all the other stuff? Keep the existing forums until you change them. This TEST is a #fail.
Nothing wrong with failing as long you are tryingà except you arenÆt 4 yrs old and IÆm not your parent
