A search feature! How inventive!

But lots of old user names

But lots of old user names 

It's retro stylings juxtaposed with inventive haute couture materials. I love everything about it!

Hmm, I don't like all the gizmos and claptrap.  Much more preferred the plain black stylings of the old forum.  I will say though that having a search function is fantastic.  That being said, I wonder how many really old threads will be dug up and commented on now that we can easily do that?

Will totally agree on the point that the simplicity of the old forum was very attractive, however it just would have never integrated as nicely into the new website.  I've always thought PHP forums like this were overly fussy, it sure was nice to have 40 posts on a page verses what setup at the moment.  Lots of extra scrolling for less content..  I'm all for keeping the gizmos to the minimum, but would like as time goes by to add in some of the nifty extension to provide meaningful content here.  Make the forum in general a little bit more sticky...

The plan was to eliminate signatures all together, but it's not a default feature of the software.  I considered changing the amount of characters to 1, but that seemed a bit to silly.  Like many other extras signatures maybe enabled at some point...

Whoa, who rearranged the furniture?

yeah, but after several minutes of searching, i still can't find ancient.gif...

some of the new formating features are fun cool, but not sure how i feel about glow.

scrolling has GOT to go
this place has the potential to get really ugly.

On hfstival.com we called scrolling "parading" and would use it with images.

I completely abused the shit out of that feature. It really needs deactivated, I warn you.

I'm lost.

Love having a search function and being able to include a few extra features if we choose but I do not at all like that we lost our member numbers. (I was #609.)

Will take some time playing around here to figure out what's what. Doesn't seem like the easiest board to manuver so far.
