Needs a little customising. More of a ZUG theme and feel etc. But that will no doubt happen over time.

If you are going to change over to a new forum, migrate data etc. best to keep it simple to start with and then add things gradually. Less likely to end in tears that way.

BUT can't we at least have an initial colour scheme that does not make me think I clicked on devnet by accident

[offroadgeek]

I was just wondering.

P.S. That sucks I hit view poll resusltes and new it tells me that I voted. Whan I didn't.

Will since I cant vote. I will just tell you what I would have voted for. Zug now sucks.

But since the devnet sucks more I will take the lesser of two eviles.

First off, you should pay attention to the icon before clicking it... it says "View Results... Null Vote".

Secondly, this should be in the suggestions and feedback forum. I will move it there, but please try to keep topics relevant to the forum.

Lastly, I take personal offense by you suggesting that the "zug sucks" because of the new forum. Where was this feedback when I suggested the forum change two weeks ago, and built the test forum? Please be reminded that this site is provided completely free to you and is a service to the ZUG community. I spend many, many hours supporting this site... all for what? To read such negative feedback from you?

I have no problem with constructive criticism... but I don't feel that you worded this poll/topic as such.

For one, I like new look more that the old one.

I like it - especially the fact that it really remembers the last post I viewed.

OFG - great work

I am sorry. Offroadgeek would you please delate this post. I do not like this new form, I still like the old zug better. I mean yes the old forms had there bugs, but the genral format of tham I think was much better. I never liked devnet board forms. I found tham inoing. And I am sorry that I worded the poll the way I did. I thank you for giveing use ZUG. And I should have vocied my oppion a little beter. As for not posting sooner whan you showed the perview. I saw it but was afaird of vocing my option. Cause this is usionly what happens whan I do. Now that I have that out of the way lets try this again.

I do not like this new form. I miss the new post block on the front page as that is where I usalny found all the new posts afeter I read it in the moring. I never liked the devnet board. Or the color schame. And genrtly cant stand round computer frames.

Once agian I am sorry that I vocied my option the way I did.

Well, there is no chance to satisfy everybody. I guess it really depends on what are you used to.

I like the new forum with the old devnet look Did zauruszone had the same look? I don't remember anymore

[Guest_Guest_*]

I miss the recent posts section.

[slocaus]

I miss the recent posts section.

At the top right of the page, click on "View New Posts" to see what was posted since you last logged on, or click on "MY Assistant" to open a window that has a "Today's Active Topics" choice to give you everything in the last 24 hours.

Try it, you'll like it! <snork>

I like the new forum, Invision Power Board is very nice software. However, one thing i would do is change the logo to a ZUG one instead of the default.

Cons:

Looks like devnet WAY too much
No Recent unanswered post section (my favorite to help newbies).
Really can find my way around well becuase to used to old ZUG (but that will change in time).
Cannot Change Polls once started.
Cannot Delete messages.
Cannot Change Avatars
Links from new posts to old don't seem to work anymore...and that is a big time saver to point someone back to the topic already discussed.
The Big Penguin lost his C860 !


Pros:
Interoperability with Devnet, learn one, know both.
Probably less buggy when complete (total guess).
Upgradable since 3rd party (less work for you i hope).
You're still in charge and that makes me warm all over.

LOL

Forget the NO/YES.....answer as if question was
"Do you like the OLD Site Better?"

(I cannot change it !!!!!! ARGH !!!!!)

The last one is for the cynics.....it''s actually a poll for cynic counting.

omicron - I've merged your post (removed your poll) from the general discussion forum with this one that joshp had already started.

go ahead and vote and add any additional feedback you may have.

OffRoadGeek,

A bit of constructive critcism, The poll has a choice called ZUG SUCKS NOW....so I don't thnk that EVERY person realizes (Especially Josh) how insulting that was to simply cast/create that vote....I would imagine it was more of a tongue in cheek poll answer.

We all appreciate you, even if some of us vote for ZUG SUCKS NOW. New versions always suck, and mainly becuase you did such a great job before and we all have grown to hate devnet, which this site is now a reminder.

You are appreciated. By the way, I HIGHLY recommend becoming an Amazon Affiliate. I think I speak for us all when I say we would use your link for all our amazon purchases...it's too bad that it wasn't there already becuase I just bought a $1500 projection TV.

Paypal costs people, but Amazon costs us nothing and gives you cash in your pocket...Start now and be ready for the back to school and Christmas/Hannahkah (sp?) season.

PS(Report to Moderator doesn't work either).

omicron - I signed up for the amazon affiliate program a while ago, just never finished setting it up.... maybe I'll get on that!

also, I fixed the report a post problem... I just needed to add moderators

thanks for the feedback
