In preperation for upcoming events... - Page 2 - RunUO

Yes, everything looks great. Great job everyone @ RunUO, takes a lot of work/heart to run something like this. Always good to hear that many people appreciate it to! So that's why I'm adding in my say.

Showing appreciation for any change (no matter how small) helps to keep people motivated. I liked this skin when it came around the first time

Too white .... Can't see! Yarg!

Ankhesentapemkah · 03-07-2006, 05:34 PM

It's too bright, too much bars everywhere, too much space between two posts (have to scroll almost half a screen down to read the next post), and it has annoying colors.

It's overdone.

It looks like Microsoft GUIs. Which I hate more then anything else on this planet.

I'm only here to read text, and if it's black and white and in fontsize 8 it's fine.

No GUI > GUI.

Then click on thread tools and show printable version then you got what you want.

Thanks, that's what I want.

How can I have it turned on by default for everything?

It definately makes reading larger threads easier.

Don't know but it might be a nice option if Ryan can make it possible (if its not already).

TMSTKSBK · 03-08-2006, 12:39 AM

printable is better...but the posts still take up too much space..[but the font is readable at least]

Joeku · 03-08-2006, 01:14 AM

My siggy's messed up

It shows a bunch of space after all the text... it aggravates me

Rhexis · 03-08-2006, 09:21 AM

Your siggy isnt messed up, the cell that contains your avatar/etc is taller than the cell that holds your post&sig...so to fill the void theres excess space added under your sig. Go look where you made a long post (like your addition to the faq forum), and you'll see the excess space isnt present. Mm..I think Im rambling.

Prolly fixable by having align="bottom" added to the siggy template I would think..dunno..never fiddled vBulletin before ;p

vBulletin is overpriced trash, and I know one of the developers of it. Dirty tactics to wring out people's money, grrr!

If there's one thing to change on this site, it's the forum software.

Arcanus · 03-08-2006, 02:04 PM

I use phpBB It's a great forum, it's free, tons of mods and skins. Easy to use, secure and always great support.

Thanks for stopping me from going insane. I was wondering why it only happened on some of my posts

phpBB is the only project that I know that is vaporware on the "next release".

phpBB 2 was announced HOW MANY YEARS AGO??? STILL NOTHING.

At least its only been just over a year since our last release, but we have something to show for it.

Im not dissing your current forum by any means.

I agree that those guys at phpBB might have fallen short on their promotions but so far things are decently secure and working correctly for the most part. I've been using it for the last 3 years and found wonderful support when it came to needing help.

I figured throwing something out there based on my experiance might have been helpful or at very least handy in some aspects. Sorry If I was wrong.

Nothing personal.

I've used phpBB for a LONG TIME. We wrote a complete CMS around it for the UOX days.

I'm just not a fan of it and it truely does NOT scale well without major hacking/customizations

whereas vBulletin does.

Sorry if I was harsh didnt mean to be :\

Arcanus · 03-09-2006, 02:59 AM

Nah, no biggie bro. Sounded like ya had a bad day for a minute there

I've never really spent much time with VB. Though, I do like the features that come with it, least on this forum anyways. Tell ya the truth, this is one of the few forums I've been on for a time that uses it. As of yet, I havnt seen anything that's "turned me off" on it, so guess you're good to go there. heh

Just curious though. How user friendly is it from an admin standpoint? Whats the availability on additional mods, (adding additional modules and what not) Or is it pretty much standard as it is?

milt · 03-09-2006, 09:58 AM

The admin panel for vBulletin IMO is very nice and easy to use. There are lots of menus, etc to describe what is under the category. It's sort of like PHPBB but I think that it is much better.

IMHO it is very admin friendly. The admin panel is well organized and offers pretyt much every tool in the default config that you would ever need.

The one you see here is very lite on mods. There are lots of mods available check out http://www.vbulletin.org . With 3.5 most mods can be installed using a plugin/product system and require little to no core code changes.

Arcanus · 03-09-2006, 02:30 PM

Great. Thanx for the feedback. I'll look into it. I havnt updated phpBB in some time, since updates sometimes are usually minor. Perhaps I'll give it a yank and see if I like it better. If so, who knows, perhaps I'll convert.
