what do you think?
I sorta like it, but it makes looking for some boards a lil' harder for me.

Darkgargos · « **Reply #1 on:** March 13, 2008, 08:36:37 AM »

I agree, when I first saw it I was like WTF!? ok, now how do I get into the forums....I had to go to my private messages and click on forums just to get in....kinda annoying and if I click the wrong thing....I'm right back to that page again

Apparently all the kinks are still getting ironed out.

Are we getting a karma system?

jrdaman · « **Reply #3 on:** March 13, 2008, 08:40:14 AM »

I like the new look

... :thumbsup:Admins keep up the good work

Sasuke-kun · « **Reply #4 on:** March 13, 2008, 08:41:45 AM »

And now...
We have "Karma" too...

But in the end...
Is a nice update.

Yeah, I noticed that....I didn't think we would get a karma system

malisiousjoe · « **Reply #6 on:** March 13, 2008, 08:47:35 AM »

This is my only active forum. What does a karma system do exactly? Will it be different than others? Is it like MI's honor system? I like the new format, it's like a stat system, but it is a small inconvience to click twice to get to the forum.

TomBewley · « **Reply #7 on:** March 13, 2008, 09:01:15 AM »

I was a bit taken back at first when I clicked on home. It does seem like a good way to get a quick view of what's new on the forum. But it may take a while for me to click on "Forum" and not "Home" to get to the forum

I to however am interested in what the Karma system is.

KPT25 · « **Reply #8 on:** March 13, 2008, 10:33:33 AM »

Karma system??where´s the button for it?i cannot see it on each other´s posts
I like the main layout,but a bigger button to access the forums would be good...i might need to change the link in my bookmarks for now...

I added the portal to the forum. You can do one of 2 things to bypass this. Either, bookmark the forum's index again so that when you use your bookmark it takes you to the forums main index (old url: http://www.infinitymugenteam.com/Forum_345/ ......... new url: http://www.infinitymugenteam.com/Forum_345/index.php?action=forum ) or click on the actual "forums" link up top of the main index. It isn't that hard and just takes some getting used to. I switched my theme from Blueskies, which I have been using since the IMT and I stood up this forum prior to re-opening it back up to you guys, to the default skin. I was thinking of removing all of the extra themes and going with only the default. I am going to be going through the current forum mods and removing what I feel is unecessary while trying some new things out. This forum has always had a karma option. I just have never enabled it because I think it can get a little out of control sometimes, plus I think it's silly seeing people say "+1 for you!"

Any suggestions?

Okey dokey, your just trying new things with the forum and stuff....guess we'll just try and adapt to whatever new changes you make, no problem

Though I sure was confused at first....trying to get into the forums

hopefully I won't get lost again

malisiousjoe · « **Reply #12 on:** March 13, 2008, 01:51:59 PM »

I think if your going to use the karma system it should be different than MI. I do like the idea. Maybe we could brain storm something or open up a new topic on how it should be handled.

~Wolfpaul~ · « **Reply #13 on:** March 13, 2008, 01:55:53 PM »

i actually like it better like this!

EXCh33ky · « **Reply #14 on:** March 13, 2008, 02:08:16 PM »

I think it looks cooler but slightly more complicated to get to where i wanna be

When Nintendo released a 6 button controller after people were so used to the 2 button one, they said the same thing, just different words.

Cyclysm · « **Reply #16 on:** March 13, 2008, 02:32:29 PM »

I like the new look......Meh Karma system is overrated.

MirageAtoli · « **Reply #17 on:** March 13, 2008, 03:52:39 PM »

I've never cared for any sort of Karma system, really.

Portal uses tables?
The div that contains the post information on the portal could use a left-margin of about 36px. At least in Hello_Multi anyways. Unfortunately it has neither a class nor an ID attribute.

I'm not really seeing any increase in accessibility either.

Everything also begins with 'Dot' on the user information. Is this part of a language key or something?

stay away from the karma system i say

I click the home button every time still too

As for Karma, we don't expect to start useing it because it seems to work on a flawed system.

Don't know anything about forums to give an accurate answer. So I don't know.

Portal, boardnews system was the best move you guys made.

IMO you should move the entire for directory to the http://www.infinitymugenteam.com front page and if you do, use repair.php to correct the changes for the settings, directories, smileys, etc and you will be all good.

DARKTALBAIN · « **Reply #22 on:** March 13, 2008, 06:59:18 PM »

I'll admit I'm a hater .

I don't like the new look , it seems to hard to navigate to where I want to be . At first I thought half the threads were gone ? Then after a few minutes of studying the layout , I found most of them . I also absolutely despise the whole karma thing .

Is a nice update.
