New Forum Structure

But you're arguement doesn't make any sense, first you say "look at the numbers", then you say "look at the numbers then add about 10 billion people that don't post and obviously therefore HATE the forums".

People can still use the forums without moaning!

Anyway. Can you sumarise what you want changing back? Subforums? If so, install Greasemonkey for firefox or use opera and enable user script and install http://voidedwarranty.co.uk/Greasemonkey/bitRealForum.user.js

 

Woot

 

No, you say

You assume their silence means they LIKE the changes. I'm saying that there are loads of people who come here every day that just say nothing either way. The people that dislike it and post here are speaking and the people that like it and post here are speaking. But to assume that they do like the changes because of their silence is flawed.

 

No I assume that their silence means nothing. it's like trying to say "This wind is cold, so it must come from antartica"

Anyway, rather then going too far off-topic. Back to feedback. What is it that you actually dislike and what would you rather it be? Rather then saying I HATE THIS. Say why you hate it and what you would prefer.

That's the difference between moaning and constructive critiscm.

 

Of course it is - that's why we've got to give it some time...?

 

People can vote with their feet, or mouses.

 

QFT

 

WOW I love that new highlight system YOU rock Bit tech

 

Is it possible to filter more than one thing at a time. If it was it would make browsing far easier than it is currently. Rather than having to click through every single filter in turn which IMO is just wasted time.

Oh and with the dark theme that new brown / grey highlighting thing for new posts is frankly quite a disgusting colour. Not only that, but it means all the line divisions between the posts and columns can't be seen anymore. Just looks like a big brown /grey splodge IMO. I prefered it just having bold thread titles, surely that's obvious enough.

 

Splendid that's what I will have to do then...

 

It's a dull yellow and green, there is no brown. If you find it really that disgusting I may be able to allow you to turn it off.

That functionality is already enabled (if you look at the for sale forums). I'm just trying to work out if it would be better to have clicking filters adding to your existing filters or not. Then just filtering by one in turn would require unfilter to be clicked. I shall discuss with the rest of the staff over lunch.

 

I have said. I dislike the seemingly pointless filtering. General discussion should have general topics in it, so filtering it by rant, youtube, N00B, funny etc etc seems like a pointless exercise. And I have to click on every subforum to see those posts. And General in its current incantation has died. Nobody has posted since the 2nd, and now its the 4th!?!? 2 days with not 1 post in GD?! TRAVESTY!

Seems like excessive meddling. I'll never look at all thise forums, the pictures irritate, it gobbles my 56k bandwidth like a hog, and now I'm just sulking.

 

FS now includes UK bargains. Which it never did before. we had a bargain room, and a fs / wtd room. Can we have it back like that?

 

It's dissapointing that long term members won't even give us a week to see how the forums are working and other changes we can make.

Shame that, I always liked your mods Gordy.

 

what are you talking about now? There is an entire page of threads in GD which have been replied to since the 2nd?

Do you have your browser cache disabled or something? Once you've got them all, you shouldn't need to re-download them all the time

 

Didn't know 56k even existed any more.

 

where? Surely you don't have A "General" subforum of the "General" forum?

 

The original General Discussion consisted of: General, youtube, food, beer, photos, question, Rant, link, request, help, n00b, poll and LOL, try clicking here

I've implented it int one of my scripts.

 

General is encapsulated by all topics as indicated by the tags...

 

Ah I see. I like the multi filter thing (although it would be great if you could pick and choose your own so that you can filter in and out of different things). Although I think the for sale forum is where the tags really work.

The colour definately looks grey on my flatscreen and then brown on my crt. Regardless you still can't see the lines between the columns and posts. I would appreciate it if you could make an option to turn it off.

Also I like the new tags in this section that match the main page. Definately mcuh easier on the eyes
