HEXUS.community discussion forum improvements

[Lee H]

Cool... suppose it will take a day or two to get used to but hey - looks better from this end already

[Stringent]

Eek. Go to sleep for 1 night and all heck breaks loose!

Umm shouldn't it be following current Hexus laws about the Hexus.Forum style?

Personally I'm not keen, but we all have been used to the old format. I suppose if we all got together and revolted, we'd get banned right?

[DR]

Give it a couple of days guys

[Zedmeister]

Eh? Wassat? Where's thingamybob? It's too early in the morning for changes. Sneaky devils!

[5lab]

hmm i dont like it either.. agree with too many sub-forums - is there any way you can apply a mod to set up your own custom home page perhaps? with all the forums that you regularly visit shown in 'big' format??

As for the HEXUS. and non HEXUS., I know the answer, but I also know paul can explain it much better than me, especially as I have only been up 5 mins.

I would like to hear it, either from you when you are awake or Paul

I mean, those titles are just kinda long.. I hope they serve a functional purpose, because I prefer less text from a personal point of view.

Of course, I am used to them, and they probably don't slow my browsing down, but still

I fear change.

Good work guys.

Its a bit confusing I would suggest that the following would need changing.

Forum text summaries would need to be one line only , it takes up too much space other wise.

There are some odd sub forums (motors under gd for example )

I would put the hard ware forums back as seperate forums not sub forums as other wise you have sub sub forums which will never get read.

The same applies to bargin forums it was confusing enough when it was a sub forum before .

And again with the winners forum why is it a sub forum when the main forum contains nothing? Seems a bit of a waste.

All in all subforums generally get ignored so having stacks of them worrys me.

Just my 2p

The HEXUS forums had chopped and changed over the recent years and we finally felt they were getting to out of hand. This change makes the site index and accessing the forums even easier.

Of course we are not saying they are final, but we are not going to be making any swift changes.

We will be monitoring posts and threads and see how it all pans out.

Some of the forums which are empty are indeed empty will be used very soon

[Zak33]

it makes me feel all warm n fuzzy inside. Its a damn site easier already and I've only been playing a few minutes

[JK Ferret]

Arr...was lost at first, but am seeing where things are...
Gonna take getting used to it...

[XA04]

Gona take a little getting used to, but I think it's much more organized now, before it was starting to overflow with forums.

[ajbrun]

Fixed.....

Matt.

Nope. It's doing the same thing on the news forum - I just didn't meantion it at the time .

Its correct on the news forum. Only HEXUS staff can post news threads, users can reply to them though.

And again with the winners forum why is it a sub forum when the main forum contains nothing? Seems a bit of a waste.

This was something I meant to fix last night, but I was fighting to stay awake.

I have corrected it now, the winners competition forum is no longer a sub forum and is an actual forum.

Matt.

I rekon you get board you rearrange the forums on purpose just to use the extra controls in the ACP.

First off as I said, I'm not keen, but will probably get used to it, just like the shopping part of the forums. Conform or be banned.
