How are you liking these forums?

Hi all!

We've had these forums up for a little while now and I thought I'd check in and see how you like the features and options.

• What about usability?
• Is there anything that really bugs you that we might be able to change?
• Features on other forums you like and we don't have?
• Wish list items?

We upgrade and improve as we can so we'd love to hear your thoughts!

Most everything on here is awesome, IMO. Only thing I think could be improved upon is on the Forums section, maybe separate the different categories with highlighted sections, they kinda seem to blend together.

Hello Michael en Corrie,

All great. Thanks for that.
Could do with the off topic part. But that is just my opinion.
Further, well, just keep up the fun.

Greetings from Robert

Here is a screenshot of what I mean

@jordanbrooks Oddly enough, the optional light background forum has the headers highlighted.

As for the forum in general, @administrator it seems to be working flawlessly. We had discussed various features at the early stages of the xenforo conversion as well as the previous software, and all have been addressed. Thanks so much to you and @CorrieOB for keeping things moving smoothly.

@administrator Working smooth as silk on my end. No requests for now.

Cool @Steve I'll give that a try.. I really like the gray theme, I just feel like if the categories titles were colored it would be easier to navigate.

Do you meant the section title would be slightly highlighted? Like this, or something else?

I could try that pretty easily I think.

Or just a color change on the section title text may be enough

I'm not trying to be difficult lol... You asked though

 

[Michael]

I'll experiment.

 

[Lifestyle Overland]

That last one looks good, too.

So far so good.

Do anyone use the Chat feature? It really burns up a lot of resources when on a tablet and I refuse to use Tapatalk as that is glorified data-mining spyware.

I've used the chat function a few times with no issues, but it was on a desktop. No discernible lag time.

I love the boards and the options. I'd like to see a Mumble voice chat but that's a whole new level of issues. I've been on forums of all sort for decades and it seems simple is usually the best option for growth and keeping irritation low.

what about adding a photo gallery for the site, or for members?

 

[Michael]

Hey @jordanbrooks , I changed the header text color and made the font ever so slightly larger. See what you think!

Running a pole to see if people use the chat feature!

I like this idea. I think there is a pretty good media plug in for the site. I'll look into it (and resource requirements).
