Daijoubu Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 No feedback on this? phpbb is pretty basic :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazirker Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 A new board style that is a little more complex than phpbb would indeed be kinda nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmeg Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 I think this board makes everything that it should The similies indeed do not look very good. But I like the feature to search for new articles and the search for unanswered posts. Both I could not find on neowin.net which uses I think invision. Perhaps I am wrong there, but I think there is no need to invest much work on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daijoubu Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 http://forums.invisionpower.com 1.2 is coming XHTML skin But i still prefer the 1.1.1 html skin until the new one is ready... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazirker Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Well yeah, I guess it does what it needs to do...but still, it is basic, and an upgrade would be kinda cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albanetc Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 I haven't seen anything better and more convenient than Tapuz forums. Here is one: (it's in Hebrew) http://www.tapuz.co.il/tapuzforum/main/for...page.asp?id=216 The thread can split into several discussion threads, not just one long thread, like in vB. You don't need to quote since you reply directly below the original post. Everything is on one page. Browser takes care of read/unread stuff. Unfortunately, I think the software that runs their site is not for sale. :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's old and outdated, most peoples use linear view today In fact, only a little % (around 5-10) prefer threaded over linear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albanetc Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 vB does support threaded view But why? It's old and outdated, most peoples use linear view today In fact, only a little % (around 5-10) prefer threaded over linearWhen threaded view needs to open every message in a new page, it's really inconvenient, and everyone would prefer linear view where you can see several messages at once. The downside here is that you need to quote, and besides, long threads don't fit on one page. However, in the link I've provided you enjoy the best of both worlds: the threaded view that allows you to follow the thread development, as well as seeing everything in one page: once you click on the subject line the message opens in-place. Click again, it closes. You can open as many replies as you wish, or close all of them with a single click. You can see immediately the replies you haven't read yet, they are 'drawn' by slightly different color. (No need to perform Search for new, which is a burden on a server.) This one certainly isn't outdated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daijoubu Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Take a look at these threads http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...ST&f=30&t=39996 http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...ST&f=30&t=39765 (btw, the xhtml skin isn't done, may look odd) And Invision is the best free php/mysql based board, with phpbb following (features, performance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albanetc Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 Daijoubu, it's a pity you aren't listening to what I'm saying. The links you provided discuss 'old-fashion' threaded view where you see every message on separate page (= one message per page). This is very inconvenient. But heck, I've already explained that twice. The link I've provided is pointing to a 'new-style' threaded view where you see all the discussion in one page. I suggest that you visit my link, since from your replies I suspect that you haven't done that yet. And any poll, as long as it's non-representative, isn't worth. And there's no way you can organize a representative poll on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daijoubu Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 Tried it, nothing special about it... http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread....aded#post438462 They also have a Hybrid mode :shock: Anyway i not a fan of threaded view, it's old school for me, linear view is the way for the future But i do agree threaded view serves better in certain specific situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daijoubu Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 So...no updates on this? At least upgrade phpbb to 2.0.6!!! Beware of known vulnerabilities, if this board ever gets hacked, don't ask whose fault it is :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
