vBulletin is far better IMO. Click on "New Posts" and New Posts appear. Click on "Last Unread" and it goes to Last Unread! :Q Do a Search and get proper results! :Q:Q

Choice is between Aesthetics and Functionality. Dunno about the rest of you, but I like it when I click on something and it actually does what it claims to do.

We have a lot of tech people here..why don't you just let us fix FuseTalk? (By us I mean I'll help but some heavy programmers can do the big stuff. ;) )

Seems a bit late. Fixing ft may seem like a doable task if there are enough people to throw at it but sometimes 'mature' products have become so convoluted that it would require less time to rewrite/replace it than to fix it.

Plus there are apparently new and better ways to keep tabs on the shenanigans that are desirous.

hehe, I kinda think they might disable it. Just too tempting to go crazy with it and somebody is gonna post Porn on occasion, being swiftly banned afterward, but the shenanigans will get out of hand.
I don't know why you would think this - no one here pushes the boundaries...

this seems to be a large database import test. def. not the final product by a good margin.
Who are you and why are you cheerleading this?

Who are you?

Why attempt to belittle me?

I've been a member of these forums for 9 years. I've seen the ups and downs of the community. I am not cheerleading any effort other than realizing that things are going to change and that if we don't want it to be a complete cluster fuck that we need to test the new software and identify issues...

but if you want a cheer, I got one for you...

RAH RAH RAH...Screw off.

I wasn't trying to belittle you. Well, maybe just a little... You're sounding like somebody from hr/pr - or - acting like an owner and i don't remember seeing one of your posts. I thought maybe you had something to do with developing the new stuff.

I can see now that you're a serious person and not be taken lightly. Nice to meet you.

Perhaps my cheer was a bit harsh...

Good to meet you to man.

Don't get me wrong, I know how to have a good time ;). I want this to be a smooth transition, unfortunately it doesn't look like it won't be without some large speed bumps but if we drive the road expecting them I think we will all be better off.

On a completely unrelated issue, I don't understand why people would leave a community because of the software it ran on unless that software was so broken that it made it impossible to interact with each other.

I come to a community because of the PEOPLE. I enjoy the people here. They are willing to help and answer just about any question you can throw at them. Generally funny along the way. Sure Off Topic has its share of assholes (me being one of them every once in a while ;) ) Its still a fun place.

Although fusetalk is 'pretty' (cheers to the people who designed the layout) the underlying issues outweigh the benefits. Vb is also very extensible and can be customized extensively.

PS: If I had a job in HR a company would collapse and if I had a Job in PR they'd probably end up with some bad press before they collapsed...;)

You've been around long enough to know that what people say and what they do are often different. Just follow along in pfi. It's pretty funny to see a hysterical poster 'leave' in flurry and then silently return some time later.

If you want to worry about something, worry about the ones who don't make public declarations.

I don't like how all the sections aren't on the left. I like being able to jump between sections easily.

Having to constantly go back to the main page and click on a new section is quite annoying. Definitely is what sets this board apart from a lot of other forums as well.
