We are new at this so please be patient while we tweak the site and the forums.
Thanks for reading and feel free to drop a note here to let us know what we could do better (or I guess say something nice as well :wink: ).

I guess I'll be the first to make a suggestion. Is there a way that you could have the forums open directly when you click the link? The extra step is slightly annoying, but surviveable.
-
Well, since we are giving suggestions, I use the "View posts since last visit" link, and while it shows the topics with new posts, it doesn't give a link to "View newest post" that jumps to the newest posts. I know that phpBB does support this, and it's something that makes reading the new posts much easier.
:)
-
Will Do. I actually noticed the topic reply thing later today lol Now I just need to figure out how :? Also, there is a skin choice within your actual profile in case the theme bothers you.
As for the forum link, not a problem. I just had that page there as a place holder for the button until I was done setting up the forums but it can go now :)
tx guys

One suggestion from me Wade, could you get fast reply?
-
Hm, does PHBB support fast reply?
-
Home page link fixed...
-

Probably, you can mod the hell out of it.
-
It turns out that it is just the default skin (One of the Gray ones) that doesn't support the "Jump to First Unread Post" thing. The "SubSilver" does support this. (Plus I like the colors better)
-
Thanks for the feedback Stew. I'm going to switch to that as well to see if its worth switching to that one as the default.
-
I also managed to add a method for image uploading. However, you must also use the SubSilver skin which is why that is now the default skin.
-
Dont know if you would want this or not but enabling html in the sigs would make for some interesting signiatures.
Like me being able to hotlink my picture :wink:
-
Um, already is on ;)
Checkout Chucks sig
-
Just a fyi - it doesn't appear there is a way to enable HTML by default in every post you make. This is probably why signatures aren't linking all the time.
Try unchecking the box "Disable HTML in this post" to see if it makes any difference with your sig.
-
Many changes have been made to the main site including the re-addition of something 8) .
Check them out!
-
Thanks Wade, looking good! I tried to get Gadv's powerpoint of Steve's service to load but, I don't have powerpoint :( Do You? RCDB could be added to links as well? :)
-
Di, email me the slide and I'll convert it to the powerpoint webplayer...
And I"ll be sure to add rcdb.com :)
-
OK Wade, maybe I'll have more time later when I am done doing my x-mas cards!
Diana<~~~The major procrastinator! :shock:
-
Haha, I haven't even starting chistmas shopping yet!
-
Same, I have only boughten for 2 people... I have like 5 more to get for :shock: I like the new additions as well.
-
I just want to say you guys have done a great job with this site. It has a great foundation of people to build off of, and the discussion already on these boards have been fantastic. If we can repel what GADVCentral's downfall was (lack of activity) I think this site can be a VERY good place to post.
Again, good to be here and good to be around the people that were around me when I was first coming up (and a few others who have recently become friends).
-
^Ditto. You guys have done a fantastic job with this site already. And it's nice to post in a place with intelligent and well informed people for once :roll:
-
Thanks guys.. And thanks for bearing with us through our growing pains. Were gradually learning and improving as we go.
Hopefully members will start to notice some new things soon :)
-
Is that supposed to be a hint Wade? :)
-
oh well theres always something new that could pop up on the site, i think hes just saying that its always a work in progress.
Someone up there said it, nitro maybe.. and i agree. It is very nice to be able to belong to a website with the people that taught me everything i know. I didnt always know things, nor have good connections, nor be able to do awesome things like get into a commercial shoot or construction tour. Thanks to a bunch of the senior members, some of which who now run this site I have learned so much more than i would have ever imagined i would.

Amen to that!

I like this site. It has an awesome teamship with GAInsider and we dont fight on here. The best 2 combinations in my opinion. I cant wait to see this site flousih along with new html that will hopefully come in the future. ;)
-

What was that supposed to mean LOL
Yes, were meeting behind closed doors to figure some things out. ;)
Hopefully we'll be ready to launch something exciting, fresh and new before the 2006 season kicks off lol.
Our "little" updates site has already grown way beyond our wildest dreams :)

It means i cant wait to see what you guys do with the site. You have lots of room to work with and im intrigued to see what the future will bring for you guys. This site is now my #2 site for Gadv. Only behind GAinsider of course. I love all the info that you guys give us. And i also like the teamship between the 2 sites so its always a good thing. Keep up the good work.
-
Thanks, we enjoy it and are glad you do to :)
2006 should rock 8)

And it grew fast, something you probably never saw happening. Great combination of people and fun made it happen!

Here's a small suggestion, turn off the post count in the Anything Goes and Introduce yourself forums because they have no content. *Waits for blazzinmatt to beat me down*
-
I won't beat you down. Honestly I am not concerned with post count. I don't care what title I have or anything. I just want to make the forums the best possible thing they can be. I want them to be a friendly environment where everyone can just be themselves.
-
^You got the point of everything. ITs not about post count, its about making the forums thrive.
-
Oh yes, and possibly change the name of Misc. Discussions to Worldwide Parks/General Discussions, something of that nature. If not, just change the discription-the non-theme park related discussions.

I fixed this a while back when I saw your post but I never responded. Thanks for noticing this! I really appreciate everybodys input :)
