new forum software!

**bluejeff** · 03-30-2004, 08:44 AM

I have 3 questions:

1. How do we set up the "Public Groups"? Or how do we join/create...etc?

2. Accessing the reviews page is now limited from the very front page. I like the old style where we have a link available at the top-right

3. What's the difference between the "Registered User" and the non-registered user? (at the member list)

I forgot to mention, the new software is really fast

About 1.5X faster than the old one !

1. Public Group. only i can create them. so far. i see no need for one.

2. yeah. i will fix that soon. on my TODO list.

3. that was a bug with the script that migrates from old software to new software. everybody should be registered user now. fixed.

i will see what i can do... maybe have two color options..

interesting you noticed that. the company claims that speed is one of the improvements...

I vouch for that too

ok. i am not sure why ppl are complaining about the color.

so i took the old colors. and the difference is really quite small.

if you go to the very bottom left of the page, you will see a selection box with "BF new color scheme". change that to "BF old color scheme". the difference is really quite subtle...

The color is fine with me.. m happy with what i have at the moment.

In fact, I don't even notice any difference

Anyway, speed and performance is the most concern to me when comes in the software talk (It's good

)

hm... actually, now that i offered the choice, i noticed that i like the old color scheme better! but i am going to leave them be this way. you can choose between the two. i hope that will make everybody happy!

i can't seem to find the "top 25 posters" function for the members list....is it just me or is it really not there anymore?

**cappy75** · 04-14-2004, 09:38 AM

Go to members list and click on the "post" tab... that'll list the top posters in order.

hi love the colors!

Kwun's announcement sounded like this back then:

"And if there be any objections against this revision, let it be heard or forever hold your peace. You may click the links".

On a serious note, kwun I think the software has been a little slow of late. Takes quite a while to load. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the browser or not but a forum I frequent often loads almost twice as fast, even with the cache removed, avatars enabled.
