View Thread : Message Boards: any thoughts?


max
We're seriously considering a major upgrade to our message board software and were wondering a few things:

1) Would you, the readers, like to see a more attractive, user friendly, user configurable message board system OR is the current one just fine?

2) Any message board software that you particularly like? (the software brand is usually found at the bottom of the message board page) We're talking "XYZ looks better and works better than your's" OR "your's is marvy" kind of thing.

3) We like the "avatar" idea that some boards have, that little icon on the left that the member picks to represent themselves. Do you? Do you care?

That should get us started. Fire away! If you'd care to add to the above fire away some more!

-In reply to your board upgrade that you mention below-
(I couldn't post on that thread)

I find this a very easy interface to use.
Its easy on the eye for longer views, which I do a lot.

The only problem I have found is the search function produced a thread, not the posting.
On huge threads this was a hassle to search through multiple pages. Not a big hassle cos I used edit/find, but the only serious weakness I've seen yet.
Unless I did it wrong of course....

thanks Max

Hiya Max,
Im posting this because you mention a possible future upgrade for the board software.
Ive been trawling various forums and most are horrendous to look at, but I ran into a rather nice looking board at
http://www.casino-internationaal.com/casino-forum/

Its only one guy there messing about, but I realised that its very easy on the eye.
Anyways, just thought I'd mention it.
