New Boards (Verdict?)

[The Sigil]

My verbosity and I are quite happy that the "stay logged in time" is now perpetual instead of ~3 minutes. No more losing longwinded posts.

I think some of the font issues may be due to using odd-sized fonts, or due to different browsers having different fonts installed. For example, Helvetica 9pt may be larger on the screen -- or simply more legible at the same size -- than Ariel 9 pt.

Is it possible to have a "theme" that doesn't specify font size?

I'll write the CSS if that's needed...

Thanks, -- Nifft

With those new posticons, these new boards just get better and more easy to use!

Just a quick thank you - I love the Quick Reply concept, even if the implementation is currently having a wee bit of trouble. -john

I think I have my login problem fixed, but my posts are slow; it took me many retries to get a response up without running into the 30 second timeout. I hope this is something that the board wizards can "tune up."

The numbers are a bit low and this is just a suggestion. Instead of using the actual post count, it might discourage frivolous posts eventually.

Also, think about it. It's a board of geeks. You give them a numeric ranking system, what do you expect they'd do with it?

Now my post count becomes higher in rebuttal! Sheesh! It was just a system I saw on other message boards that received a number of thumbs up reviews from users in general. I actually have bigger issues in life than sweating my ENWorld post count.
