Old Forums

[bce086]

No offense, but I liked the old forums view better. This one seems to take longer to download. Why the change?

Wow sorry for the 3 postings... think this shows that it now runs a lot slower than before.

Sorry Mods... please delete the other 2 of these, I clicked the post button a couple times because it seemed it wasn't working.

Nothing stays the same! You always have to upgrade your system. We will jst have to learn how to operate the new options.

I think this is a little more organized and i kind of like it. It's just going to take some getting used to. I wish facebook would go back to its old format. I like that you can click on the Ravens webpage at the top

i agree.. i always had to open a new tab when i wanted to look at the homepage.. i was definately a lot more comfortable with the old forums, but ill just have to get used to this one

[berad]

They'll definitely take some getting used to.

Whats with the big INVISION-BLANK1 at the top? Is that the software they're using?

[theFRANCHISE]

I love this new look; it's more integrated with the main website, and everything looks cleaner. I APPROVE.

[jfc13]

Yeah, it's going to take a bit of getting used to, and that's okay, but my initial complaint is that I haven't figured out a way to have it as just half screen width-wise without having to constantly scroll right to left to see it all. The previous version allowed me to "hide" the screen better here at work....Hmmmm... Hey! Did my boss put you up to these changes!?!?!

Where are my smilie faces? I clicked on the smiley face above and nothing happened.

Also, are the little plus and minus signs at the bottom of each post to give that post a pass/fail rating? I clicked plus on the original post, but I think I need more people to do it to see what happens. Feel free to give this post a negative vote to see how it works. [but don't neg any of my other posts! haha]

[i]edited: Yikes! Apparently, this all adds up to user reputation!
And I gave MYSELF a neg to test it!!! LOL [/i]

LOL. No problem, this is a good place to check out that functionality.

How did you get the smiley face? Am I missing something? When I click on the smiley face icon, nothing happens. [Actually, when I first click on it, it looks like things move, but there is no smiley face inserted, or more importantly, any smiley faces to pick from.]

I like that a lot. You can get an idea of how many people agree or disagree with you. A passive aggressive way of telling people they are wrong or right. Don't cross me, otherwise i might just fail every single one of your posts and give you a -1.

Well, mine work fine, I click on the smiley and there's like a drop-down with 15 on them. Idk, you could just do the classic " : ) " or " : ( "

Haha.

Hey, the end of your post was covered by the voting thingee and I couldn't see the "-1" part until I voted. That could get annoying...

Thanks. I'm thinking it must be blocked by my work computer. I guess I'm going to be restricted to those that I know the code for - which is pretty much:

I think that the +/- goes towards your reputation on the Forum. I LOVE this new set up!

Is there a forum reputation? I thought it was just to rate that one post? Could get interesting...

[bce086]

I guess I do like the new look and features, my main complaint is just that it takes so much longer to open a topic or make a post.

I'm sure I'll get used to it.

It doesn't really take me any longer. Maybe your computer is just being weird or something today. I'm not going to get anything done today at work. I'm just going to be trying to figure out everything new on this website

Maybe, but I am also on my work computer

[ROH522155]

Hmmm....At first I didn't like this but on second thought, I think I jjust need to get used to it.

[Perfekt]

if it does collect to become your forum rep i see this being a problem. i seen this before with other boards and it never works out because people either take it to serious or try and mess it up as best as they can. still this board is the best board i have ever been on and is held to higer standards so it may work. plus when the season rolls back around it will make it easier for the post from the press or whatever that thing is where you get to go to a game for free.

[BmoreRav]

The upgrade announcement thread by the admin says they are updating the forum today AND tomorrow! I wonder what else they have in store for us?

This is exciting!

If we have to start calling them administrators then this is really going to have to get used to this. Who calls them administrators? I will forever call them mods.

Admin and Mods are two different things! The Admin make the forum changes and keep things running, the Mods moderate the site and keep us in line.

Oo damn. The things i learn on this website, didn't know that. And here i just thought it was just some website a few people took care of. There is a decent amount of people in charge of this thing. Props to you all.
