Forum Format

quiviran | Dec 4 2007

Have you considered using something like vBulletin for the forum. While the new format is very visually attractive, it seems to require an infinite amount of clicking around to see what new threads are going and what has been added to old ones. I’m not a huge poster, but I have been an avid lurker. Give it some thought, please!

This used to be a forum

Submitted by Flexiblefine on December 31, 2007 - 10:37am.

The forum used to use some fairly regular forum software — maybe it was even vBulletin. The move to Drupal and its much less usable “forums” has kept me from checking in and participating here.

I can’t even “mark all as read” for a category anymore, which makes keeping up with everything too much trouble.

Can Merlin or someone on the 43F team tell us if there is any forum usability help coming?
