User-friendly forum

Postby Netmaster on Sat Feb 24, 2007 2:43 am

Greetings,

I dunnu if this has been discussed somewhere before , but I guess that citing some points that would eventually render this forum better , aren't going to hurt...so let's get it on:

first of all , i'd suggest allowing a user on the forum to view someone's else profile by clicking directly on his/her name (makes much sense , ain't it?)

second, though this ain't directly a suggestion but more of a bug report:
*I've noticed that inserting smilies are sometimes refused by the forum until the site is refreshed or the preview button is hit. (also I'd recommend adding more smilies , if possible)
*after hitting preview on the post page the screen gets automatically scrolled down to the Message body box instead to the Preview Message box(this is a lil bit irritating).

This is a beta copy of phpbb3, there are bugs in it.

Isn't that what the profile button is for?

Yeah , but I thought that clickin' on the name directly would be easier (probably because I'm used to that from other forums)

This is a beta copy of phpbb3, there are bugs in it.

OK , let's hope that the alpha version is going to be better!

Take Care

UPDATE:
I've also noticed that setting an avatar is somehow disabled and that users with avatars already only display broken images.

Avatars are indeed disabled and no current users with them set can display them anyway. Perhaps the group icons aren't showing up for you for some reason.

For the record, alpha is before beta.

actually I am the only one I have seen having an avatar, since the existing avatars aren't disabled, but its only disabled to set a new one (in phpbb2 also the display was disabled). You can call it a bug or a feature Very Happy.

I'm not sure why yours is showing, lots of users have them set (including me) and they don't show up...perhaps the mods group has them enabled.
