What do we think of the new forum?

[Chookgate]

Seems to me Darren and David (it was them wasn't it?) deserve some feedback on all their hard work.

I'll kick off

Looks good, very professional

Cool icons!

Nice BLUE background

[bcmilco]

Seems to me Darren and David (it was them wasn't it?) deserve some feedback on all their hard work.

Here, here!!
Feedback!!

After having spending most of the day here (yes no life, I know ;)) I find it to be a most enjoyable experience.

It looks great and very professional!

kudos to the guys!!

Thanks for taking the time to make it a reality. :)

[shelsfc]

Excellant work guys, you did an amazing job, this place does look great! Love the icons! I feel I should protest at the lack of Green though... :)

[spg_1983]

so far i think its awesome. im still exploring and getting the hang of it but definately an improvement great job to Darren and the rest at GateWorld

[TameFarrar]

I am really having a Great time learning all sorts of new stuff and playing with all the gadgets and stuff.
Its been fun adding faces to things and trying to convey the humor you are putting into your words

Great job so far and I am not *real* computer literate and I am finding things to be *fairly* easy and what I don't someone has been right there to help me...Thanks to all of you for your hard work and help!!!

[Penance]

a little scary at first, but really neat!

[Teal'c]

Didn't think I'd get used to the horizontal poster info, but I have ;)

[Darren]

Thanks thanks, everybody. What you see before you is the product of many, many nights in a row up till 4 a.m.!

Props go to David for creating most of the Stargatey buttons, icons and avatars! And props to the whole mod team for breaking in the forum, beta testing, offering feedback, ad infinitum.

The new forum software is extremely customizable, so be on the look-out for more improvements in the future!

[TechnoBoY]

I was wondering when this forum would get off Delphi! Much better! Thanks!

[Norlioness]

Congratulations! Darren and David. You did a great job. I'm enjoying testing the different features and playing with the layouts. Many thanks too to the mods who helped with the launch and start the party!

BTW - Love the Blue colour - Just perfect!

[David]

What you see before you is the product of many, many nights in a row up till 4 a.m.!

I will attest to that! Often it was like me and Darren were at some kind of artistic-acumulatory sleepover!

And then we had the MODS joining us! The Horror!!

But I'm really glad most everyone loves it. Delphi always seemed to be arms reach of GW, but this has got the GW looks and a visual Stargate focus :)

[ShadowMaat]

Didn't think I'd get used to the horizontal poster info, but I have ;)

Getting used to getting horizontal? What?? ;)

I love the new forums. Love the layout, love the colors, love the icons, love running up the user ranks... :D Still thrown off occasionally by the random un-Refresh thing, but it isn't really important and it's still loads better than Delphi.

Love it, love it, love it. See? I can be positive. ;)

[Major Clanger]

I will attest to that! Often it was like me and Darren were at some kind of artistic-acumulatory sleepover!you see now I have a mental picture of you and Darren in your Stargate Jammies that I really didn't need to have on a Sunday morning
:p

And then we had the MODS joining us! The Horror!!Oh, that was harmless. Harmless, I tell ya. You wait...

mwahahahaha!

But yes, thanks to you and Darren for doing this. Despite all the Blue it is rather froody.

[TechnoBoY]

I have a suggestion though. Can you move the bar at the top with the user and stuff to the side? That way the page wont be so long. Just a suggestion.

[David]

Hmmm.... DARREN!

[Norlioness]

Despite all the Blue it is rather froody.
Froody? :confused:

[Liebestraume]

Cool! :cool:

[Wass]

Love the forum great job (My first post on the new forum), although I am still trying to get use to the new forum. Only briefly used it got to finish off my dissertation for university course I’m doing. Just one quick question probably might sound stupid, I just haven’t’ had the time to check every thing out any way you know in Delphi forum you could click on a tread and it only displayed all the new messages, but over here it displays all the messages in the tread which is a pain you have to scroll down the page which gets too long, is there a some way fixing this.

Overall very cool love the background (blue my favourite colour), as an Computing Student it’s very user friendly.

Well done all who were involved.

[angsty_otaku]

i like this board more than delphi...easier to use :-)

actually i think this forum is probably one of the best overall...with the staff and the layout...nicely done yo ^_^

[Slainte]

Great work, everyone! The new forum is worth all those late nights! I suspect it will get even better as time goes by.
Thanks,
Slainte gg

[Sam_o_Neill]

I think the new forum is great!:)
It's a bit strange using this instead of Delphi and i'm still trying to get used to it. I'm sure it won't take me long :P

I think its great that everyone is equal now, so everyone can have Signatures and coloured fonts without having to pay anything!

So to Darren and David, well done, you did I good job :D

Sam x
BTW this is my first post, I hope I don't mess up :P

[Gateman]

Great stuff guys. I like it much better than delphi. :D

[major_gater]

Love the new forum. It really looks great. Love the layout, colors and the avatars....but the best feature....it's not so easy to get "spoiled" anymore.!

[xathras]

Froody? :confused:
Frood-Really amazingly together guy.

[SEREN LWCH (MAL)]

I've not had much time to get used to it yet. But so far i like what I see. Good work!

[Norlioness]

Cool! Thanks, Xathras. *waves Hi to X*

[Sarcazmo The Clown]

It was immediately easier than the Delphi forum was....not sure why.
I'm seriously diggin the reputation rating system and all the fun new features. (oooh...I'm a larval symbiote...) It looks better organized than the other forum, too.
Kudos, you guys!

[Crazedwraith]

This great forum! Much more like the others i frequenct now and easiler to use to boot!

Great job.

[dipsofjazz]

The forum is great. Thanks for all the hard work Darren and David. I like playing with all the new toys! I was worried at first, but I'm begining to get the hang of it. :)

[David]

I think its great that everyone is equal now, so everyone can have Signatures and coloured fonts without having to pay anything!

That's the great thing about this forum, and the true spirit of GateWorld, getting access to great features, great privileges and great people, all for free.

[Slainte]

I just discovered I can scroll up through the previous posts as I compose my reply, not just the last one. SUPER!! I love it. It makes it so much easier for the memory challenged.

The new forum just gets better and better the more I learn how to navigate it.

Thanks again for all your work. It's really paying off!:)

[Larry The Chevron Guy]

I'm GLAD they changed to this forum software. I hate Delphi's setup. This is so much faster and simpler, and now I don't have to go to the SGArchives forum where the mods are absolute turds sometimes (about pretty trivial stuff, too).

[Spaceminx]

Well this is only my second reply and I'm finding it baffling, I can tell you. But then I've just jumped right in and not read the FAQs or whatever it is I'm supposed to read. :rolleyes:

In fact I'm feeling a tad panicky now 'cause I don't know what I'm doing. Am trying to run before I can walk methinks. :(

[sidious618]

Simply an awesome new format.

[Major Clanger]

I'm GLAD they changed to this forum software. I hate Delphi's setup. This is so much faster and simpler, and now I don't have to go to the SGArchives forum where the mods are absolute turds sometimes (about pretty trivial stuff, too).and how do you know we're not just lulling you in to a false sense of security?

mwahahahahaha!

(I think being a System Lord has gone to my head!)

[David]

You just keep on thinking you're a System Lord, MC ..... :p

[Anthro Girl]

Much improved format! Delphi was painful and only to be taken in small doses. :S Thanks for all your hard work! -mo

[David]

Small doses, exactly. Just like I told my new buddy Tame, when we started this new forum I hated it. It was so alien. I'd stayed away from Delphi, too, because of the layout. Then after we installed the Stargate appearance, I became addicted so fast it wasn't even funny. I hope everyone is having that same joyous experience.

Kinda sickening if you think about it ;)

[waterfall]

I am enjoying the new forum immensly,thanx Darren!!!

[Larry The Chevron Guy]

(I think being a System Lord has gone to my head!)

No pun intended? :D

[majorsal]

I like it. A lot. Well done everyone!

*throw confetti*

Sally :D

[TameFarrar]

What I am thinking is I am a bit "obsessed" if you realize that this forum has only been up since Saturday and I already have 145 posts........can we say ADDICTION :eek: :D ..But I am having such a BLAST !!!! :D
Again Great Job!! Great Job

[Izanami]

It looks good, but I'm not a real fan of the vbuletin lol I always have to re-think lol

[tara3583]

LOL!!! still finding my way around but i do like it and i like the fact i can do this:)

[Indiana]

I have a suggestion though. Can you move the bar at the top with the user and stuff to the side? That way the page wont be so long. Just a suggestion.

To Darren and TPTB on this forum. V Bulletin should have an option where you can allow a user to choose if they can have their information at the top or to the left. I checked my User CP and could not find anything which offered this option to users. Perhaps it's turned off.

I personally do not mind the horizontal display bit as most other forums I am on have the vertical display info, so this makes a wee change.

PS. I think there's a bug in the system or this place just doesn't like me because I have made three posts already and I have apparantly only made 1 post. Don't tell me I am sent to coventry already? :S

[Tannerman]

Darren, nice job. Looks great. See... told you vBulletin was good. Just took you forever to listen :)

[Mustang88]

Love the new forum, the last one for me was very slow(even on cable) and i like this layout alot better.. Good Job

[star1928]

I was a little nervous at first, moving out of the familiar terrritory of Delphi and all, but this forum is really starting to grow on me as I find my way around here. And it definitely is faster. And you can do more stuff. Good choice, TPTB! :)

[KatG]

It looks great. I'm getting used to navigating it. And it's free.

Still I miss the Delphi format. This isn't the first time I've played on the VBB format. I was never particularly fond of it. To me this forum format doesn't have the personal feel that Delphi did.

I'm also not real fond of the fact that if I don't read every thread I'm interested in before I sign out, all the unread messages are marked as read. I've always tended to kind of pop in and pop out, but now I only come in here if I have time to read through everything I'm interested in.

But I suppose I'll get used to it, and if it cause me to spend less time here, that's not really a bad thing now is it? I might actually develop a RL.

[Anubis]

Great new forum. Plus its ad-free. It's very swift and a great look. Keep up the good work everyone and I'm sure over time it will get even better

[Newbie]

"I'm loving it!"

[ReplicatorX]

It's great, I never posted in the previous forum for the one reason that I hate Delphi Forums, they're terrible to move around and they're full with ads for non-subscribers.

[Jadestar9]

I am enjoying the new forum. I'm amazed by how many people are here posting away. So in that resepect I have become alittle lost. However the forum looks great! And I LOVE the smiles!! :)

[Zod]

Better then the other stargate fourm I was banned from

[Newbie]

i love this two pics :D

and this one looks funny, too
http://forum.gateworld.net/images/header_forum05.jpg

and there are some others....GOOD JOB GUYS!!!

[joshing123]

It may look good, but I don't find it user friendly at all. I miss Delphi.

[Larry The Chevron Guy]

It may look good, but I don't find it user friendly at all. I miss Delphi.

Man, I hope you're just joshing...

[poppy_popcorn]

Better then the other stargate fourm I was banned from

I think this site is FRIENDLY! Everyone has a great opinion, and this forum has awesome pix! They've obviously done an excellent job! So Zod, where did you get banned from? Just asking.....

[Tok'Ra Hostess]

Oh my gawd! <Gracie hugs Kat and clings to her like her life depended on it> Someone who feels the same way I do! :)

It's not that I am complaining, mind you, and I do appreciate Darren,David&the mods(sounds like a name for a rock band ;) ) hard work, it's just taking time for this old information age-Ludite to get a feel for this vb stuff.

I can never remember where I've posted, and clicking on the little box that says "last post read" (or something to that effect) takes me to the last post, period, and I have to scroll up to where I left off (which, in my case, is usually three pages from the last post. "/ .

I do like the whole posting proceedure, and the quote system. Very nice. :)

[joshing123]

Gee I haven't heard that one before. :)

No I'm not Joshing. This may have a bunch of bells & whistles but it doesn't have some of the basic stuff (like knowing which post someone is responding to, being able to find the last unread message, e-mails when people reply to your post etc.). I liked the frame layout of Delphi better as well.

Already I'm not coming here as much as a used to or reading as many of the threads.

[Teendragon]

I really , really like it , ive been here for like 5 days , and i love it , i like to meet other people which like stargate like i do , and it looks really nice :)

[(",) Gater]

I love it!

:D :D :D

[(",) Gater]

Ooh! I'm a prim'tah now! How exciting! :p

[gpguk]

i really really like the new board, didnt go on delphi alot, but i could stay on here all day, love the icons you can put beside a message and its really easy to use!!!

Love the rest of the gateworld site aswell, its my number one place that i go to first on the net!!!!!!

[KatG]

Oh my gawd! <Gracie hugs Kat and clings to her like her life depended on it> Someone who feels the same way I do! :)

<Hugs Gracie back hard.>

I was starting to think I was the only one. :)

And the fact that I just found this post shows what I'm talking about. Because I didn't check this thread the last few times I was on GW, I had no idea you'd posted to me.

Wonder how long it will be before you actually see this one or if you ever will, and then how long it will be before I realize you posted back to me and then...er...um... :o

Oh well.

Still it's free, right? ;)

[Champos]

Yeah, I'd say generally very good. There's still a few wrinkles perhaps, but I like it. And at the end of the day if it'd been left up to me to design a new forum, we'd all be sticking bits of paper to the wall with drawing pins. I respect any man who can go beyond drawing pins.

[auralan]

Love it. No ads!

[Indiana]

He was banned from gaters.net for reasons you may soon come to realise.
