Forum Upgrade

New forum upgrade looks sensational Rob. Really like the look. The only thing is there is no longer a link to the shop that I could find anyway. Am I missing it, or has it been forgotten?

No link to the shop, as this forum is for people to express there views and ask questions - its a forum for the people - Table Tennis People that is.  :)

I agree with Reb.  There should be a link to the shop.

I see where you're coming from Rob, and I know you don't want the forum to be seen as strongly associated to the shop, which is very obvious with the forum name change, but as 1 forum user, I liked being able to just click a link into the shop. Perhaps just a discrete link?

Similar to how OOAK looks now, as OOAK is on the previous version of the software to this one.

OOKT uses Completely differant forum to the one were using now, but Reb is right, we use to use the same software in the past.
Phbb - before

I serverley dislike the look of OOAK, but this one looks pretty good now.

I think what you have to do to make it look better, is reduce the amount of boards on the homepage to an amount like on DTTW.

I have no idea what it is about, cause surely it can't be to reply in 100% of the threads in here?

Could it be posting average, such as a post a day or something like that?

It would appear that a post is worth about 4%, I wonder how it goes down again?

Could it be calculated on a daily bases? Looks like I got 100% now, but I have no clue on how it works...

Still, it feels nice to be Mr 100%!

It's based on a 10day timeframe. 25 posts gives you 100 %

I'm sure It'll only take you an hour or so to get back up to 100% on your return.

Any chance we can go back to seeing our post after we have sent it rather than the topic area menu Rob? It reminds me to read it through and change the 5 errors I make in every one.

Yes, good idea JKC.
That'd be much better.
It gets confusing.

I'm a little confused mate - can you explain a little better. I though what I have done, is what was asked for.

He means after you make a post, it goes back into the topic where the post was made, rather than going back to the board with all the different topics.

I just replied to one of the Posts - and it went back to the Thread that I was posting a reply to. So this means I'm still a little confused. ???

Maybe our preferences are set different, because after I post this, it will take me back showing all the different topics in Announcements.

I suspect it will be something I can change in my preferences then, because when I post this it will take me to the announcements menu rather than to this response in the thread.
