If there is a fully working solution that allows customers to navigate round the portal and the forums freely and smoothly, why close it and direct everyone to a disjointed affair before even the simplest of changes to colours etc have been made?
If people were complaining about the brightness, colours and layout during the beta process, why havent those concerns been addressed before going live?
Isnt this the very point of a beta?
Im going for a lie down.

However taking into account the best-liked features of the portals and the usergroup should increase overall satisfaction.

For me the biggest advantage is the ability to attach a screenshot (when it appears as a thumbnail) without either having to first upload it to my webspace or elsewhere and where as a thumbnail it doesn't bust the forum formatting in the way we frequently saw on the portal forums with embedded images.
But there are other features I much prefer such as the forum notifications options.

I don't have much time to visit the forums any more and I think it will take me a while to get used to these new ones (even through I had a bit of a play with them when I was a mod). Oh well, progress is progress.

Quote from: jelv Once you get used to SMF you start to realise how much phpBB 2 sucks. Why do you think so much time and effort has been spent by the folks working on phpBB 3?

I would actually have the opposite opinion. There are a huge raft of modifications available off the shelf for phpbb2 that allow an awful lot more functionality. Thumbnail screenshots is easily possible with phpbb2, you just have to be prepared to make the modification to the software.
As long as any mods are documented fully, then using phpbb2 is no problem. The only one issue may be is that more hackers target phpbb2 due to its popularity

A number of folks (myself included) made it clear that they weren't too keen on the colours etc. way back in April and so I would say that you have a good point there and a very valid one.

Quote from: James_H Isn't there a way to create your own stylesheet to use against the forums via some browser trickery?
