Michel... it ROCKS!

I love it...

Only thing I would like to change is the ability to turn OFF the "Automatically retrieve titles from external links" function for posts. It's annoying and I have so far forgotten to "uncheck" it on about 90% of my posts. Then, go back and turn it off.

BTW... I think I understand "why" the function's there -- but I prefer to see a URL in the post. Maybe have that function pull that info for the alt tags?

Overall, this new board looks neater, sleekier and sexier as compared to the previous one

Good job Michael!

Love the new board. My only complaint -- and it's a small one that will probably just take some getting used to -- is that it's harder to immediately notice that there are new posts. The difference between the shading/color of an active thread and a dormant one, isn't instantly noticeable to me.

Otherwise the new board rocks.

Now if we can all just get together and give that 6 million dollar Spanish resort raffle dude a fair shake, all would be good in the world.

Default Too much Blue - 07-07-2006, 04:43 AM

I enjoy the new look of the Board, but honnestelly I prefer the OLD ONE.

the new looking is TOO MUCH BLUE it pick eyes.

if I have to change something, I think that I will change the backgroung to white colored one.

the botton are blue we can make color harmony wihtout using the same color.

is there many Theme or just this one, I hope that the designer make the opportunity to choose the Theme like in PHP Nuke.

now regarding to the function I havn't tried to see (and use ) them all, but I think that this version is more rich then the old.

again Thank you Michel Fortin for this Board.

PS: However is the place the important is the people that you meet.


The beginner.
(Time to take some actions)

Who moved my cheezewiz?

Really Michel, I love it.

Yes it took me a couple of hours to get used to the new feel, but I'm feeling better now.

There is only one little quirk that folks here should know...

The PM holding tank is much smaller than the previous board, so everyone here will probably have to do some house cleaning if they still want to send or recieve PM's.

Last night I needed to send a couple of PM's, but couldn't because there is a 50 message limit.

I cleaned out my box, then realised that everyone I was needing to PM also had overloads in theirs as well.

... just thought I would share this with everyone here.

Other than that. it seems to be a more solid and stable system.

I also notice it works a lot better with Firefox as well (had problems using Firefox with the old system).

... Thanks Michel!

Hi Michel,

Here's my complaint...

Where the heck are you going to cut in your adsense?!?!?

My problem is, you host this board where:

A) I've learned a ton of great marketing/copywriting info

B) I've personally earned thousands of dollars from


...so in essence, I want to see you get paid for putting this show on!

Still getting orientated, but so far I like it. Except... I really liked being a supreme member. (he, he)

I like it. Still getting used to the URL post thing, but I especially love the idea of a community calendar. It'll be great to have everyone's events at my fingertips, as most of us get flooded in every direction about events, teleseminars, and the like.

Plus I'm still exploring and learning some of the new features.

JP alluded to the trick... when posting a new message or replying, go to the advanced panel (click on "go advanced"), and check off the box below that says "Automatically retrieve titles from external links" ...

It works
