Jack Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Just had some good feedback with regards to the old forum and the stuff that was lost so just a few notes and questions for clarification: Could you really be as kind as to make the effort as to repost all of your images that you had here before the crash. It really is a massive part of the site and your images are missed by many. The beer is on me at W&P We will get the spell checker back up - god send! Have we missed any boards off from the old forum What is bugging you with the new forum - or it may not be?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Ref #4 - the colours - but I think you said Joris was working on this so.... And I personally miss the "Back to top" button on the bottom of the page. Otherwise the new forum is a damned good job!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The beer is on me at W&P Taking your new GMC then? :-D At least clean the tank out before you load up with ale for W&P......:banana: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The old forum was a bit more clear about new posts on threads I hadn't read yet. They had a logo/different colour to the left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 What is bugging you with the new forum - or it may not be?! I like it, a lot, just one small point though, and I know I'm not alone in thinking this - An increasing mumber of posts are pictures (and I've put my share up too) which are building up into a fascinating archive for each marque or subject. Now that's great, but without any other input that's all they are, pictures. What I would like to see is more of the pictures acting as a catalyst for discussion rather than just becoming part of a photo archive, that way we can learn a lot more than simply enjoying browsing through the images. And that needs more input from members. Don't hold back from venturing a comment or two. Sometimes this does happen, and yes it can go off track a bit. A few members are really good at posting anecdotes, perhaps relating to service days, and I enjoy this, even if I might not post any feedback to say so. But sooner or later it steers back on course, and we've all learned a bit more in the process :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't posted snaps for a while, but I can appreciate how dispiriting it must have been. Personally, I'm happy to see anything you can be 4rsed to post up because I like diversity. It takes time and you should be thanked for trying again. Just keep the humour going.... it's all appreciated. Many thanks, MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit to being guilty for being a bit whimsical and diverting things off course from time to time. But it's all done in the best spirit.

MB Just re-reading my post, I didn't word that bit very well - I hope you didn't think I was criticising the diversions - far from it, its all part of the experience that is the forum.

Snapper Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 No, not at all...I think your post was fine. Made perfect sense. I don't set the best Mods example by some of the random nonsense I put about. But that's me.... MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The important bit is back, the people and the humour.:rofl: Things seem to have expanded so much over the last year, the historical debates, the Great War, really we are becoming a major discussion place for Conflict Archeology, Military history, let alone the vehicles. You just have to look at who has been prepared to give interviews to the site, and the new links with publishers. Jack and the rest have done a tremendous job. The recovery has been excellent, maybe it was a blessing. You never apreciate what you have till it goes.:tup:: Gut too git the spull chucker operation al tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeEnfield Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 What about the gallery, idea ?? As for the rest, as previous posters have already said, its getting back to feeling like an old pair of slippers,.........:cool2: worn but comfy. :-D I feel this is due in part to the amazing folk who inhabit the forum, and impart info and humour,............and also to the relaxed modderaters. After all, we've all the same interests, really. To Jack and Joris :tup:: well, being English; THANKS. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 What about the gallery, idea ?? Andy We had a Gallery before & it was never really used... no one seemed interested in it :confused:may be because the photos can't be discussed there..

Degsy Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Can you alter the time out? I find that if I leave the PC for a few minutes to make a cuppa etc when I return I'm logged out, this never used to happen with the old system. Not a major problem, just a bit of a niggle.:tup:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Here in the Palace of Numptiness I often have trouble with facets of the new forum. Any chance of an idiots guide so things become clearer. It is different in the new place - even the smilies have morphed. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
