Wanna Play?

[Okiewan]

I've set-up a new site for testing/playing with the new core software that will power the next version of the forums. Keep in mind, this is the base stuff, no mods yet, the layout, colors, displays will change as time goes by. All I'm really looking for now is some feedback on features, lack of features, etc.

You will need to join to use the board, the database here is NOT connected to the new software.

Please go thru the whole deal and mess with it. There are forums set-up to post comments/suggestions, etc.

Thanks!

Image verification bugaboo - can't register, no image to duplicate.

Humm...

 

[Okiewan]

Try again

Weird, I just refreshed the page (didn't even put in any verification text) and the page refreshed me into the forums. :thumb:

It would not let me post or even register when I tried to do that. I had a lot of trouble navigating, although it could be my outdated computer. Just comparing it to navigating around DRN, it was way slow. I could not open up Whyzee's Ugly Pictures of Self, so now I'm curious. :)

It seemed pretty much just like the current software other than the colors.

Would not recognize my user name. Unable to post

Jeff - did you register?

Wow just got back from bizarro land where DRN only has about 8 members, spooky.

One of my Evil Minions sent me a private message, but I cannot open it from the link that came in the email

for that matter, I cannot open a thread from the email link either.

probably because it's a test dealio, eh?:confused:

 

[JWW]

Well hopefully thats my biggest mistake today. Works fine now

Be careful in there, Rich just spilt a concoction of race fuel, and HAZMAT is on the scene. :eek:
Looks good, Okie. minor stuff, but I'll keep running in and doing some bata checks.
Sorry you didn’t like the bike wash. I know better! :p

So far after a couple of minutes...

- Multiple attachments in a post. Multiple attachment file types (doc,txt,pdf...). Cumulative size of all attachments cannot exceed a relatively small byte count.
- Multiple thread subscription options.
- IMG tag displays inline images.
- Thread preview tooltip popup

Keep snooping...

Nat,
Are you using AOL by chance?

No, MSN.  Probably about the same?

Yeah well blah blah blah. :laugh: I guess that's why I didn't notice too much. Other than posting smartass comments and using smilies, I don't do much else on these boards. :) So I guess you could say that the new beta testing works well for smartasses and smilies. :confused:
