Suggested improvement to the forum

Markit · Feb 4, 2011

Wife (BWW) says if I'm not bitching about something then I'm not a happy bunny so to make my day I would like to suggest the following improvements to the forum:

1) Shitty green color - something a little more energetic, lively and Balinese?
2) Top of Page link at the bottom of each page and/or return to New Posts, etc nav bar?
3) Some lively advertisements so that Spicy can buy the beers at the next forum meeting?
4) Balinese Beauty of the Month (or surf guy...:icon_e_sad: for the girls, or dog since they all seem to love those too?)

Flame retardant Sarong firmly on hips (if I can find them).

Ok, I will look for an alternative style. A forum member has offered help also, just haven't had a chance of late to work on it.

How exactly would you define a "Balinese color" ?

Do you have any sites, or ideally vbulletin sites that you think has a great design?

Before the "shitty" green color, we had a brown tinge, and i personaly have got used to the way it is now, makes no difference to me. I am more interested in the content of the forum.
As for forum meetings..read..piss up, i will be in Bali from 21Feb to 10th March. Any members up for such a gathering, i would be happy to hear from you. Ronb and i have arranged to meet some time in Sanur, no date confirmed yet. I also will be in Lovina for a few days so you northerners, any takers?

Yes, up for the northern version, if there is one.

Markit, there is a link at the bottom of each page, next to "Read Me 1st". It says "Top" :icon_razz:

I was hoping you would be there, and buying the beers :icon_razz:

@ goldminer, yep...you can't count me in, no date confirmed yet?
@markit, when are you actually planning to come if you don't mind me asking?

As for the color...at first I didn't like it so much along with the new layout as well... but now already used to it. Just haven't figured out yet how to upload a pic into a comment..

Would it be possible to mark a thread as read without opening the thread? It would clean up the new posts a lot, because this way you can erase the posts that aren't interesting for the reader.

Is it also possible to make a button where you can see all the last post? Read or not? Sometimes I want to get back to a post, but can't find it because of too many sub forums.

Can do both. Read the threads you are interested in then press 'mark forums read' either under 'forum actions' or 'mark forums read' at top of page. to read previous thread just press the 'back one page' arrow at the top left of your browser.

I like this one but it's phBB and this forum is vbulletin. :icon_sad:

When you are logged into the forum, and click the "forum" tab. You will see "Quick links"

Under quicklinks, I have added a menu for "Today's posts", "Posts from the past 7 days" and "Posts from the past 30 days".

Great!! This makes it a lot easier to find back a post. Thank you Spicy.

Wow, what a response - you'd think the thread was about dogs!?

Matsaleh I liked the green one best too - minus the stupid face of course but color and baroque feel was good.

Goldminer - I try to make sure my wife is a very happy woman - usually by being somewhere else. :icon_biggrin:

Well, he does call her the "Best Woman in the World". That must count for something. :icon_lol:

Love the exchange rates on the right side of the forum lists

JohnnyCool · Mar 5, 2011

The posts/links on the opening page rarely seem to change (fast enough).

Some current examples:

Are the flights from Jakarta to Bali affected by the problem with Merapi?
No Progress for Bali Peace Park
The Great Wall of Kuta

Why is that?

Wouldn't it be better to have stuff there which is actually relevant to right now? Rather than a more-or-less meaningless layer potentially new-comers have to wade through?
I find it annoying as well.
