Got problems with the site. An idea on how to make it better. This is the place to discuss it.

Possible new forum alternative

Check this out and let me know what you think. It's faster and more like what we had over at MMG. I can port this board to there, so we won't lose anything. It's better supported too.

Just wondering if it's better enough to be worth the effort. Let me know what you think.

Norb,

I get the message "You are not authorised to view this resource." when I try the link. However, if the board is similar to the one at MMG I'd be for giving it a try.

That sucks. I need you, ironsight, to get in there and tell me if it's faster.

Norb, not sure what you mean?
Other than the abort message, the screen that does show up does download much faster. But it appears to be a blank screen with not much data to download. So it might not be a good test if thats what its meant to be.

Are you saying to ignore the abort message and just pay attention to the screen that downloads? :S

I've got to say since i noticed the forum tool and switched to PLAIN this forum which i couldnt read before has become a candy.

It is indeed a bit slower than the standard invision boards (invision for example) but it compensates with better looks in my opinion.

Just slightly slower but good imo.
