1) you should change the Forum URL on the CBCS home page. There it is cbcscomics.com/forum, which just takes you back to the ad saying forum will be coming in 2016. It should have "forum" first in the url so it reads forum.cbcscomics.com

2) In our profile email notifications should default to off. Just a brief stay here and I have 47 emails from this forum. I thought someone had launched a DOS at first.

3) Will we eventually have the forums formally categorized and threaded?

Errr - unless, of course, the powers that be create a more specific tag before the more specific threads reflected by the specific tags currently in use as demarcations for possibly future breakdown specifically is put into play.

still looking for thread preferences. I don't enjoy clicking on the welcome thread and getting the last post first. If there's a preferences page, please direct me to it.

Thanks!

@thirdgreenham There are no settings like that, Andy, but we'll pass on suggestions to the site developer and see what can or can't be added

Another issue to flag to the developer. If you are in the forum and click on "Services" and then "Signature Programs", it just redirects back to the home page, not to the Sig Program.

What is an up vote? Is it similar to a facebook "like"?

The green icon to the right side. I believe its supposed to be a thumbs up. Hence "Upvote"

1) Click on Image From Web to include non-standard graemlins or gifs in your post.

2) You can't un-upvote or down-vote. That would lead to total anarchy.

If there's some way of looking at board categories, that would be great! Until then, it looks like this board is from the 90's, haha.

On the other hand, I really like this "Currently Typing" feature.

(And also, you can't edit your posts after 45 minutes?? I guess there are no for sale posts so that won't matter )

I'd like forum signatures and I wish it would list the publish date/time for threads, not only the last post.

is there a chance to adjust the wide of the board ?
This picture shows how much space is unusedon my 27" screen ( 2540*1440). Some kind of responsive design for the board would be great.




btw.: love the direct upload feature for pictures

If threads are tagged properly, you should be able to click on one of the tags to the left on the Forum Home screen and only those threads would appear on your screen.

I got the email saying that self promoting is OK but to take it easy. Can we post our auctions and our website(s)?

Right now I am holding off because I don't see an appropriate tag and looks like we cannot create tags which I understand.

But in a few weeks/months we might have a huge list of tags. And people are lazy - so don't expect them to tag the threads properly.

And if I am just surfing for fun through the board I might miss a lot of things with these tagstuff in comparism to classic categories and subforums.

I think some kind of categories/subforums will be neccessary for huge board like this ( I am sure it will be huge soon).

I agree that first post first in an unread thread works best. Subforums would eventually be helpful in navigating the site.

I notice there is a time limit to edit posts. I wanted to add a scan to a previous post and noticed I couldn't which I then had to make a new post just for the scan.
It would be beneficial I think to have the edit always available.

Is this forum 3rd party software and if so what is the brand name? Or is this developed by your developers?

I read somewhere here that the time limit to edit posts is currently 45 minutes. Way too short but all part of growing the message board.

@PovRow If you, or anyone else on the forum, wants to edit a thread after 45 minutes has elapsed, PM me, or one of the site admins, and we'll do it for you

I suppose you can sort of edit a post after 45 mins have gone by replying to your own post.

A searchable user list would be helpful, also maybe stating if you want to be a vendor/place for eBay ID's, and the like...

Actually, just some form of search function would be nice.
