Wired Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Hi guys, it's that time of year again where we see if there's anything about the forum that you'd like added / removed / changed. This could be new forums, new add ons, different themes, policies, disco lights, XenForo, a whole new forum site, etc. All I ask is that you be clear and concise. Note: Any egregiously off topic posts will be split / deleted at my discretion. This thread / sub-forum is NOT for support of Corsair products.

Synbios Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Possibly clean up/consolidate the inactive forums such as the "Windows Server" forum I think the last post in there was from 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Wired, im thinking :) about the windows server forum, although there are no active posts, the bots or google actively search it, even as i type there are 3 threads being viewed. i would love to see a Bio/Mugshot thread of the staff and maybe any regulars here? thats really not a forum change, just a thought :): are you asking about VB related changes or anything new in general? i mean some of the stickys may need updating and the FAQ be up to date? other than that this site is pretty straight forward, i guess we can use the "lounge" area as a general chathouse no? also im sure you mean just this help forum not the actual Corsair site that is so far behind on the database and new product info? ok 1 thing, how about the option to turn off the sidebar? thats a VB thing!

Synbios Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 ok 1 thing, how about the option to turn off the sidebar? thats a VB thing! +1 about the windows server forum, although there are no active posts, the bots or google actively search it, even as i type there are 3 threads being viewed. I'm not sure but I think the spiders will always search it, doesn't really mean that it's active. Anyway, I don't think you should ever delete content from a forum, but rather consolidate it into another forum. For example, make a general Windows forum rather than separate it? The 9x/ME forum is pretty inactive as well. Or: Windows 7 forum (maybe Vista too since they're so similar) Other Windows Releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 i would love to see a Bio/Mugshot thread of the staff and maybe any regulars here?I've wanted a better Forum Staff page for years now (aside from the default one), but there's no good mods out there for it, not free anyway. As for pics, I think there's a pic of my *** somewhere on the forum :) are you asking about VB related changes or anything new in general?Any type of changes. i mean some of the stickys may need updating and the FAQ be up to date?Sticky / FAQ updates are pending, but if you see any obvious errors, by all means please report the post and it'll be fixed ASAP. i guess we can use the "lounge" area as a general chathouse no?Yes. It really should be its own area, but someone decided July '09 that it should be removed w/ the rest of the changes that happened at the same time. Doesn't mean it can't be brought back if it's needed though! Hell, I still resurrect the Lab Rat area every couple of years, mwahahaha. also im sure you mean just this help forum not the actual Corsair site that is so far behind on the database and new product info?Correct. Feel free to start up a new thread on that in the General Discussion sub-forum though. ok 1 thing, how about the option to turn off the sidebar? thats a VB thing!It's a vB thing in 4.x. I custom coded it for vB 3.8.x. I suppose a separate theme sans sidebar could be created, but damn is it helpful! Not closing the door on the idea though. Yeah, the House of Help area doesn't do much nowadays, but there's stickies 10 years old in there that still pull traffic. Hell, I think there's still some hits on the original reviews from '00. Merging / consolidating isn't out of the question, but HoH's my baby! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 The sidebar is helpful for a newcomer but after you've been here for a while it just takes away from the full screen experience and I never use the links over there. I use a widescreen monitor as I assume most people do as well so I guess it's not that big of a deal though especially if it would be too complicated to implement and more trouble than it's worth.

Wired Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Probably the best option for all would be to make it collapsible using some Javascript or something. The way it's coded though I don't know if that's possible. Pretty much piecemeal'd it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 its an option, VB 3.6.4 and up i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Nope, that's a plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 at least its possible :): without java code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 That's not the sidebar though, and I was talking about the collapsible part needing javascript code :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incloud Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I am new to this forum and appreciate that the pages load reasonably fast. As far as I've seen, there is no search option for posts. That is always handy. Just a suggestion. Forgive me if it exists currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
