New Forum Changes Proposals - Your feedback needed

[charlieharper]

Suggestion! Make it responsive. I browse with my browser 1/4th as I'm coding.

I will comment on the forums mentioned here that I use:
--Discontinue to “BlackBerry” and “Windows Phone” forums and move these posts into the Mobile Phones forum.
--Combine the Software and Linux forums (very low activity in the Linux forum).
--Make the Android forum a full forum (upgraded from a sub-forum)

Yes ok but removing the Linux forum is not going to do anything to promote the usage of Linux

Well, it isn't like its promoting the use of linux anyway?

 

[faniebraai]

yes currently there is just the guatrain sub forum

Add one more for news so that discussions don't get lost within the news threads

I think FiestaST does well to post news articles in threads related to those articles.

Why don't you have an auto prefixer? And pure css and px
At that size, why don't you use the MyBB mobile theme? Sadly the site is based on vbulletin.

Should probably also change the mobile operator subs to just the brand names instead of "mobile data". It can be confusing when you want to ask a voice related question but all you get is "xxx mobile data"

Sounds good

 

[Dan C]

Sounds good

What are you listening to?

 

[BlackmageXXX]

Like Android having full forum here and ditching Blackberry and Windows Phone

Are you a Comedian? :crylaugh:

Am I too late? Didn't read all the posts. Don't have the time.

I prefer the sport threads in their different categories. I pop into the rugby category daily and even everything's just nicely summarised there. Even though there aren't that many threads, it saves time and it's nice and neat.

Agreed. I want to open the soccer sub forum and read all the unread threads. I am not interested in the other sport sub forums on a daily basis.

Lookis good

We have implemented a few forum changes recently, and as part of the discussion a few other suggestions have been made by members (Thank you Bwana for many of these suggestions).

Here is the next set of suggestions. Your feedback on these plans will be great.

--Combine “ADSL and VDSL ISP Discussions” and “ADSL and VDSL Discussions” (most people do not differentiate any longer)

--Discontinue to “BlackBerry” and “Windows Phone” forums and move these posts into the Mobile Phones forum.

--Combine the Software and Linux forums (very low activity in the Linux forum).

--Make the Android forum a full forum (upgraded from a sub-forum)

--Discontinue the Gautrain forum, and move its posts into the “Motoring and Transportation” forum.

--Combine the “Hosting and Cloud Computing” and “VoIP” forums (very low VoIP activity)

--Combine the “Networking and Security” and “Network Admins” forums.

--Combine all the sports forums, with stickies for all the popular discussions - rugby, football, cricket, and F1.

Please supply your feedback this week in this thread.

Looks good

 

[Lindiswa]

i agree!!

 

[I.am.Sam]

I think FiestaST does well to post news articles in threads related to those articles.

yeah he does it very well, but the motoring section is mostly news threads about cars.

Some other threads get lost in between the new cars news threads

and my browser is 1/4th most of the time as i'm always developing mobile first.

But surely there's 2018 standard themes for vbulletin?

 

[NickyJ]

Yes sounds good.

No, one has to make the theme one-self. You could also write your own using stylus?

 

[bekdik]

Nice idea

What's up with the new Verdana font? Not a great choice when there are so many nice modern fonts. I think the previous Tahoma looked much nicer.

Montserrat is also liberally spaced but much nicer looking if that's the look you're going for.

Probably my favourite font is the one Eurogamer uses (check it in use at eurogamer.net), Gibson:

Not free though.


Edit: Montserrat is awesome. Font size 12.5px and line-height 1.6em. Got it running now for MyBB with a filter. Strongly recommend admin try it out.
