Attention m0nty: Something has to change

ossie85 · October 17, 2013, 08:41:35 AM

Hi m0nty,

Just an open letter addressing an issue that many people on this forum have highlighted.

The forum (and in some cases the main web page) have a lot of issues, a lot of bugs and is starting to show it's age in technology.

There are plenty of people on this website with the time/expertise to bring this forum up to scratch in look and functionality (not me --> I don't have the time or the knowledge). I ask that if you do not have the time to do it yourself, that you give up some control of the forum to somebody else. I'm sure some great candidates would be willing to do this, and do it for free.

Thanks Ossie The copy and paste function (listed in the minor bugs) is a real pain and has been for months. I do not have the programing expertise to de-bug these issues otherwise I would offer,

It's only a matter of time before someone sets up an alternative...

Agreed something needs to be done and a face lift is long overdue.

@nrich102 @Tabs_here Having some technical issues at the moment but I will get on this shortly, sorry about the wait.

I am open to suggestions for a new forum software platform. SMF is difficult to work with, no doubt. I will address individual issues if you want to list them.

hi mOnty

i think some of the issues are

not getting email notifications anymore since the server switch

copy and pasting issues if trying to copy some text off say an article to post in a thread a huge chunk of it does not post

there was another thread made about a bold and italics issue here http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,84059.0.html

Also m0nty when you clear the boards could you leave all the 2014 player profiles,2014 profile directories and other 2014 threads.
Thanks

Being able to embed videos is one feature I'd really love to have.
