This Forum?

I like it! I like the fact that you only get one email saying that someone has replied to one of your favourite threads, and then you don't get another email until you have visited that thread again. So you don't switch on your computer to find hundreds of emails all saying the same thing.

I haven't used all the features yet. I don't have any friends although I have asked a couple of people.

I still don't understand what member points are and how you get them.

Is there a spell checker. I always like those.

I like it too! Having fun expressing my opinion! Spell check would be good, but then I use Google Chrome which checks my spelling for me! LOL!

Haven't used ALL the features yet, but I'm sure I'll get around to it!

I like it. I am very used to phpBB as I used it 'in the old days' and I like the subtle improvements that they've made to it over the years.

I think once we have a quorum, then the place will take off. Need a bit more advertising I think! No one likes to think they're talking to themselves! It takes all of us, posting regularly to make it work.

I like this forum. It is cool. When I've finished my essays i shall be on here a lot more.

A new user I introduced said he liked the site but suggested that the posts since you last visit button needs to be bigger. When the site gets busier and there are lots of posts flying it might be difficult to see new ones and you would have to scroll and scroll....?

I have c&pd from a thread I started on newbies bit (sorry)

L, I have added you as a friend

Me likes. I really like that it's phpBB, which Im very familiar with, and I like having more space and I like that we have a good mix of people but most people seem to have their heads on straight.

Yep i'm liking it, i'm not used to this style of posting but then i never really used any forums before the 'other' site so bear with me i might make a few mistakes posting!

I love the fact that it is all split into relevent sections so whatever you really feel like chatting about/ tv/ silly stuff/ serious stuff you can find something easily. I also love the fact i'm logged in and don't have to keep signing in like other sites.

I came over coz i missed all the level headed people from the 'other' side, and i must admit i havnt been on it in the last week and i feel so much more relaxed in here i'l definitely be staying for good!!

This is my second favourite type of forum software after vBulletin, it's easy to use and navigate and so it always looks clean and friendly and inviting and yes I am a strange girl with an internet forum fixation

As for the posters, I think I only know a couple of you probably in another life/forum but from what I've seen, some fairly differing opinions seem able to be expressed without anyone getting all up in arms about it and I like the thought of healthy debate.

ETA: I think perhaps the one and only criticism I would have is the colour. Because we're using blue text, it can get lost a bit when it sits on top of a blue on white on blue forum colour scheme.

I like that the text is now black!

But I'm not sure about the pink on the main page. Was that a special request? It hurts my eyes a bit Plus, it's not easy to see at a glance which posts are new and which aren't (if you don't use the button at the top like I don't) because new posts are also shown in pink so they get a bit muddled together. Or is that just me?

Yep, I think black text makes things much easier to read, it also makes the actual posts clearer - if that makes any sense. I don't dislike the pink but I could see how it's not really easy to spot a new post without using the top control panel link.

I am liking it a lot. It feels very easy to post opinion on here and there seems to be a great culture being created where open opinions are welcome without any personal attacks. I'd feel happy starting a thread and will do as soon as I have something to ask!

On functionality/useability - I think it is easy to navigate and i like things such as the fact it automatically sends me back to the thread when i post. If possible it would be good to have that thing where you auto go to the last post you didn't read when you return to a thread...as i'm thinking as the board grows it is a bit of a pain to have to go from page to page tracking down where you last read up to. No idea what is involved in getting that kind of function tho!

I also like the split of the groups for threads about different topics...i think this works well and the groups are great ones.
Little things like the choice of emoticons, the quote facility and the other options make it more flexible and personal. Must sort out a pic for myself lol

It is already growing and i can see this being a great success. Yes I like it here and already putting my stinky feet up on the table

3for3 not related to the forum but I love your avatar picture! I have original prints of the first three Dragonlance Legends book covers signed by Larry Elmore and an original print of the one he did for Dragons of Summer Flame, also signed. They were my best ever Christmas present given to me by my best friend Adam.

i am going to be honst. the stuff i didnt like on bc is happenin on here 2. poeple are talkin about stuff i dont get. poeple have been nasty to me coz they disagree with how i do being a mum. i had a post delete coz well i dont know coz no one told me. i no i have not said my bc name on here coz i have been bullyd on bc and didnt wont poepl makin asssupshions about me. i have tried to be honst and then had sumone accuse me of bein sumone who winds up people on bc. i have been made to feel thick coz i dont use long words and cant spell right and dont talk politics. i think i will stick with netmums.

I'm sad you feel like that as my experience so far has been a great one,
i would suggest though that if you do not understand what a post is about or what words mean you just ask as i'm sure the members will explain to you or do like i do if you arn't knowledgeable about a topic don't join in on it there are plenty more topics to join in on! But by looking at all the topics you will become more educated on the topic which i love doing.
But i'm afraid that when you comment on parenting issues you have to be prepared for people to disagree with your way of parenting as thats the whole point of WYOO and sharing opinions on what everyone thinks, correct me if i'm wrong though admins!?

Cadiva - sneaking in a thanks here...I also have an artbook from this era - where this pic is from and it is truly one of my treasured possessions too...also bought for me by a good male friend! God I loved that series of books...the first fantasy novels I ever read and the artwork in my book is outstanding. Very jealous about the signing altho i was lucky enough to get a david gemmell book signed before his passing!
*sorry to threadjack!*

Ah now mummyloves3 if you are going to post something using the word 'accused' it would be wise to actually think before you misuse a word like that, it could get you into trouble. I will quote you to me: who do you thinks i am? am dying to kno! will tell you if you are right!!!! I responed with a name who I thought you might be. That's not called accusing my lovely. That's called answering a question.

Oh also to add, the only reason I suggested that name was because she herself said on BC that she was accused of being a troll. Ahem. You also said the exact same thing. I thought it was a coincidence, obviously I'm wrong though!
