this new forums is great! Thanks for putting it up but theres a couple things that could improve.
Logging is kind of odd, even after i log in I have to click one of the top links before the forum tab displays.
Subscriptions- every time i post the forum automatically subscribes me to the thread and my blackberry is going crazy with emails. Could it please be made an option whether you are automatically subscribed to threads?
Viewing posts- when i post pictures the post viewing area is very small and its annoying to have to scroll left and right while viewing half of a picture. Is there a way to maybe put the sponsor links in a different spot so that the post viewing area is larger?
I hate to complain as I am very grateful to have the forum available for us but just figured i would point out some possible improvement areas.
Thanks,
Chris
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the feedback
1. It is a single login for the website or the forum either through the forum login or the control panel login.
You can submit News, Tech articles or Calendar events besides just posting to the forum.
I'm sending your question to the developers to see if the software can remember which page the login came from.
2. There are lots of configuration options for the forum section. We're still learning.
We believe we now have the configuration option for thread subscription set to default to "No".
You can unsubscribe to your previous threads by going into the tread and clicking on the "UNSUBSCRIBE" button.
3. The forum template for the message area is limit to 499 pixels. I can move the Sponsors section but the limit is still there. This is evident by the image in your signature which overruns the limit. I'll check on other templates to see if they address this issue.
You can also control the size of the image with the size=1-499 option in the img tag.
We really appreciate you input and working to make this forum better.
