    I have to agree on the load-time front - it's taking between 22-27 seconds on my connection (I'm on AOL Broadband but I've forgotten how fast the connection is).

    Its pretty good. Differant than what I'm used to, but good.

    Edit: Not a big fan of the avatar software. No matter what kind of file it is, its not working for me. I wish it would at least have some kind of error message saying what the hub-bub is.

    I had a problem as well but got it fixed by loading my ava. from another forum. Make sure you enabled the ava. to make it work. Anyway, I believe it is much better, i get to see topics that are new or recent on the front page :)

    It rocks! Of course! It's maybe not the best I've ever seen. But it's quite sufficiently good. :P

    No. NO! NOOO!!! This MUST be a nightmare! There are SOOO much fantastic forum engines like VBB and WBB, and it had to be this crap. Awww DDD: Whatever ... As long as the content stays as nice as before, I don't care ...

    will people eventually be able to add stuff to the photo section of this new software or will you still be using the old area?

     I have come upon a couple of suggestions (if you guys don't mind).

    • Darken the color of the post fields, or else darken the color of the "quote" fields.  There isn't enough difference between the two fields' colors for readers to be able to easily differentiate between what is a "quote" field, and which is the actual reply-to-a-quote field.
    • You can't see who the original poster is from the thread::list screen.  You see who last replied to a given thread, but who started the thread remains a mystery until you have actually accessed the thread.
    Hope you guys find my advice to be helpful. Smile

    Either way, this is still a really nice forum program.

    I know I'm a bit late here, but I rather like it all in general. Though the reply to post system bugs me a little, I'm used to a post reply button at the bottom of the page.  I agree with Amnaanth about the color sceme on quotes n such, could use a little bit of darkening.  Anyhoo, dis roo shut up no before da dino's stompify him and turn him into dino poo the long way.
