MOVED: CHANGES TO PR MESSAGE BOARDS

[obuc]

Whatever happened to "functionality" ? Do we really need all the eye candy to the point where it loads slow, its hard to find things and looks all spaced out?

I'm curious if this is a Linux based template.

Just what exactly would the OS of the web server have to do with the layout? These things are completely unrelated.

If you are curious though, the site is using a Content management System named JOOMLA. The forums are a JOOMLA component called Kunena. The back end is a LAMP stack (Linux/Apache/MySQL/Php).

Bear in mind that JOOMLA is just a CMS. CSS based templates can be applied to make it look however you want, so just remember that design and functionality are completely separated in this type of model.

This new site sucks, this is exactly what I expected for $10 a year!!!! PR you are failing.....no renewal for me

Not at all concerned about speed, right now.

That is correctable.

Am only concerned about the layout of the message boards and easy accessibility and usage. That's where the action is.

Good solid Bucs section.

I find it interesting that other site mentioned here has many new members from this site today.   That should tell PR all it needs to know about the current new format and what people think of it.

Good point.

Maybe if a member of the staff would at least respond to all of this (verbally), people wouldn't be so upset.

You have a nice board, Incognito.  Very easy to read, unlike this one.  If PR's doesn't change, I'm sure you'll get many, many posters heading there.  I read Uncle Stan's leading the way.   :lol:

Thanks, Biggs.

I admit, I was never a huge user of this site but i was pretty regular in visiting  and commenting.  Since the redeisgn and the constant, "This page uses a font that needs to be installed to view it, do you permit it?" keeps popping up on three machines, I have had about enough.  I have been using Incognito's site which is much better, and with nearly the same number of people viewing now, it is obvious I am not the only one thinking this site has gone downhill a lot in just a few days.  It has now been nearly half a week since the upgrade, and many of the concerns still exist (cannot stay logged in, post boards are huge (with a lot of blank space beneath, see below this message...), the red/white contrast kils the eyes - the list goes on.

Fact is, the numbers are showing it - usage is down already as before this upgrade I would see 30 + on this site.  Now with less than 20, 33% are missing after three days - my guess is they are the ones I see on the other site.  

I hope this improves soon...

Pretty sure by "slow" he was referring to the activity level of the board, not the load times. I have no problems with the load times and like the new layout, dig the Facebook ripoff taskbar  for convenience sake.

This board is pretty slow when it comes to post count and interesting threads.
tbaybucs.com has a few of the members from the old official Bulletin Board, but is also pretty slow.

The official Buccaneers website is announcing they will have their forums open this fall.
