All non-essential functions disabled

[Gez]

The Jump-to menu is cool, but I can live without it. I've been used to *not* use it by the WotC boards, where is is incredibly crappy (you can jump from a forum list to another forum list, but not to specific forums... blech).

I don't mind the disappearance of avatars, who's online, rating, or most other things in fact. Except Search. I have an use for Search. I prefer Search to manually scanning a handful dozens of pages. Why not limiting Search to thread titles in a first time ? That would probably use less power than parsing whole threads.

Don't mind loosin the fluff features (wouldn't mind having them back though, especially a higher than 200 user limit), but I have a question- I keep getting logged out, I'm lookin around and suddenly I am no longer registered as loged in; anyone else having this problem?

 

[BiggusGeekus]

I don't mind the loss of features, myself. But stuff can still be abused ... as my "location" clearly shows. I'll change it tomorrow, but I'll leave it up for tonight.

The one feature I'd like to have immediately back is the jump-to menu at the lower left. I can't function without it!

I second this motion and move to only allow half a moderator into the message boards at one time to get the jump to menu back.

Heh, I'm really liking the stripped down boards. Loads ultra-fast, no wierd flashing junk all over the place, no super-long annoying signatures or avatars. I don't even miss the jump menu.

Morrus: Just disable post counts and thread ratings, and I'll be all set.

I also used the jump-to menu feature constantly, but I think the pain of its absence would be greatly reduced if the "EN World Messageboards > Meta - Forums About Forums > Meta > All non-essential functions disabled"-type link were just duplicated at the bottom of each page.

I don't really care what's here...as long as I can post, and as long as the user limit goes up. I was at about a 50% rejection rate today. Still problems, I guess.

There was a jump to menu?

That sounds handy. I wish I could have used it while it was still here. Oh well, I have gotten around without it easy enough.

I am happy with the boards as long as there are boards. Keep up the good work Morrus.

And all the other moderators too of course.

I used the jump menu but as an alternative you could display the text links, that are at the top of the page, at the bottom also.

I doesn't give you the full functionality of said jump menu but I believe it causes a page reload as opposed to backing out and just getting a view of the page in your cache and it saves scrolling to the top of the page to use them for said purpose.

All of that is only really important in a very active forum like the general one.

I don't mind the stripped down version of the boards. I doesn't let the posters personality through like it does with sigs, avatars and smilies. The sigs area was sort of like our own mini announcement space with persistant links to storyhours, project threads, etc.

The 200 person limit is a problem with a messageboard the serves the entire world.

Exactly... the browsing through the threads is horrible now (Back button - Refresh? Nope, "Thanks for voting on this poll"... AAARGH!)

I also kinda like sigs... couldn't you just disallow images in sigs? I like to propagate my website! I get feedback like "Cool House rules and stuff". Alas, those days have ended ...errmmmm... smilies are missing too huh... oh well, the following will do fine: :-(
