I try to be... nicer, as to not come across as the "You kids get off my lawn!" type of guy, but it can be difficult. Given the way this particular forum is setup, it's harder to get away from the kids splashing in the shallow end of the pool as it isn't as segregated as the cgc boards are with the different sub-forums. However, I think once all the red has been licked of the candy, you'll start to see things begin to mellow out. |

| Was this forum custom built, as opposed to using established available software options? | ||

| This is an available software option. Just like most forums out there now | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Jerkfro It's a tryhard Reddit type and I totally agree. However, most developers are looking for smooth web integration so perhaps thats why ninja was chosen. Kinda reminds me of the old joomla web tools. I'm not a fan of dashboards myself, but it seems to be the way people are going for ease of use. |

| I would like to see a better search function. The basic search box just does a Google site search; that's fine, but so far I haven't found any terms that get a match. Pretty sure that "graded" or "comic" should get a bunch of hits, but nothing. The "Advanced search" works better, but even that needs something done. It appears to give results of the thread that has a match, but it only takes you to the last page of the thread, not the page with the match. So you have to search through the thread (and possibly load an earlier page) to find your search item. |

| @SteveBorock I'd like a format that is more traditional to the forum framework, which would allow posts to be set as a link, which in turn would allow users to go to their last seen/read post, unlimited posts per thread, perhaps a chat style addon for free exchange with online posters, a users list with the ability to add friends/ignore function. The list is extensive lol |

Quote:Originally Posted by SteveBorock Hey Bro! OK... 1) A board that is Forum and not Tag structured. This would allow the ability for Forums and Sub Forums and clearer navigation and real consolidation. The Tag structure is very weak. 2)An actual date/time stamp on a post as opposed to "10 minutes ago" or "4 days ago". 3) A search function that, when you click on its results, actually takes you to a relevant post. For example, I search on you as a poster. It returns a list of posts. But not just the posts that you have made. All it does is return a list of the tags you have posted in. Your posts are not isolated by the search and one has to keep scanning post after post to find yours. |

| ^ This stuff, plus group PM, timestamped PM, ability to follow users posts/threads. @DrWatson Nobody, just the function may come in handy eventually. I don't like having to put people on ignore to begin with, as it screws with the flow of conversation Perhaps better moderation would have the benefit of not needing one. |

| There is still way too much dead white space on the left and right. The actual amount of space for posts is quite small and when you start quoting people the text gets scrunched up more and more. Overall, this board is lacking in a lot of the features of one of the more popular message board software options. Although, perhaps that's what you guys were going for? Something different? |

| Right. Communication and information access are primary qualities in a message board. There are many other message board packages that are superior to Ninja Post in these regards. | ||
