Welcome to phpBB Cardsboard
Welcome to those who are lurking or have registered for the new layout Cardsboard. Please feel free to have a look around and Private Message me if you have any questions.
This isn't the final thing and development is still ongoing. If you have ideas, drop them on the end of this thread and we'll see what we can do.
Cheers,
MrO
Re: Welcome to phpBB Cardsboard
Could you at least remove the in-thread ads? Or put the ads down the right hand side so they can be ignored?
Also - why not allow Boost-the-Budget contributors to turn the ads off? Or why put ads on at all - it is hardly going to make a fortune on here.

Re: Welcome to phpBB Cardsboard
On these boards, I don't know what messages I have not read.
Adverts all over the place, which we don't have on the current one.
You can't respond to specific posts.
Just seems a bit of a strange decision, but I guess there must be some reasoning behind it.

I need to talk to the Trust about BtB.
In 12 hours, it's turned over £4. On a similar run rate, that's annual hosting paid for in a month plus some back into the Trust.

Re: Welcome to phpBB Cardsboard
There are problems with the current format. It's no longer supported and it's insecure. There are more functions to manage users and more that users can do to report problems rather than someone having to be here 24/7 or monitoring Twitter.Gareth wrote:What's the point in moving anyway when their are absolutely no problems with the message board we currently use?

The adverts were put into monetise the site for those who aren't Trust members. There are running costs associated with the server and an opportunity to put something back into the Club. The Ads can be tailored, I've started with a layout to figure out how it works. As above, I've discussed with the Trust the opportunity to opt-out.
With respect to responding to particular messages, it's a penalty of flat boards. Nobody's making threaded boards (well one company does and they want a couple of hundred quid up front). On the other board, people were responding out of time because they were using flat view. To overcome it here, click the Quote button and quote the post you're responding to.

Edit: It's this button here, which will be to the left of the topic title on the View Forum page if there's unread messages -

You reply to specific posts (as I have done here) by clicking on 'Quote' button
Apologies if this is mentioned further down the thread but just playing around with new site myself...
EDIT: I see how it works now!!

Not bad, that return is worthwhile!

There may be a delay because of Trust data protection compliance.
That said if Sicknote had to manually approve my registration he could at least have switched my ads off.......

Any chance there can be a link that clicks you into the next thread, instead of having to go back?
Also, if there's unread messages, is there going to be a filter that'll direct you straight there, or have you got to go through each thread until you get to it? Not so much a problem at the moment, but if the thread gets 10+ pages long for example, could get a tad annoying.
Apologies if both are already there, still becoming familiar with the site.
Cheers, John

Re: Welcome to phpBB Cardsboard
I'd like the next / previous topic thing too. It's there on the Football 365 forum which I think is similar in it's design so hopefully it's a case of switching it on here

Re: Welcome to phpBB Cardsboard
Secondly, I'm not sure that it's necessarily a good idea to reveal the 'identities' of those registered users who are currently browsing the forum. Will everyone be happy to have this information displayed?
Lastly (for now) I've worked out that the icon for changing the font size works by switching between three sizes with each click. Very handy, thanks.

Re: Welcome to phpBB Cardsboard
How does one go about ignoring threads on this new forum?
The old forum had an "ignore" button visible next to each thread but I cannot see anything here at the moment?
Also, are you able to ignore individual posters as well?
