 Re: changes are coming.....don't freak out Very cool, less wasted space.
I like the sub forums. Very tidy.

Re: changes are coming.....don't freak out Only problem with the subforums is you can't tell if there's a new message in the MAIN forum. If there's a new post in a subforum it'll make the main forum turn orange even if there isn't a new post in the main forum.

I agree....we are trying to figure out a work around but we may just have to live with it that way. Guess who can't spell?

Re: changes are coming.....don't freak out Is there a way to make it so if I click to mark all the thread as read, the threads in the sub-forums are also marked?

Re: changes are coming.....don't freak out  See the "Mark forums read" in the middle of the page....it will mark all three forums (Gargamel, RxH, Secret Base) read.

Re: changes are coming.....don't freak out RedYOda has a good point. I keep on going back to topics that are highlighted in red only to find that it was the sub-forum that had a new post. REdYOdA wrote: I have a minor critique on the changes...
When I visit SB, I'll click a Topic...say 'Japan Toys' and then read what interests me therein. When finished... I'll click the 'Mark Topics Read' to clear out the unwanted topics and return to the main page.
'Japan Toys' will now not be highlighted in red. When I visit again I can automatically see when there are new posts in any given topic.
Now...with the sub-categories added, the Topics always remain highlighted in red, unless you were to clear out each sub-category. You are no longer able to see if there is a new post at a glance...without clicking through.
I hope that makes sense...I appreciate the tightening up of the forum, and I am still pretty new around here...just my two cents.

I've noticed that skullbrain seems to run a little slow lately. pages hang for a bit , especially when checking messages. traffic? server issue?
do you think shikaruna or zollmen will ever get their own forums? I noticed this too, extreme lagtime in some cases. Thought it was just my system though. I'm not really into the way the subforums are handled but I'll get used to it. I wonder if it really makes sense to have the Custom Toys and Fan Art under "Show your Collection"? It seems kind lost there to me. Carry On. i always assume any lag is due to my shitty comp, it's good to see it's not just me for a change. it seems to have unlagged a bit now. that's good, it was super annoying earlier today...

Re: changes are coming.....don't freak out I might be wrong, but it seems that it takes a lot more clicks to move around the forum, mark things read, etc. And those extra clicks are going to add up over time. Seems less efficient than it used to be.

Re: changes are coming.....don't freak out you are wrong...almost no extra clicks are needed. Don't wear yourself out getting all click crazy,

But it would if these were added to the old format too. In the old format it'd take two clicks to "clean up" - this only takes one click if you're not interested in reading those forums!

But what if you are interested? Extra clicks, or not? I am not very good at math. Not a big deal, but the new arrangement seems "awkward."

Re: changes are coming.....don't freak out Hmmm...
Maybe it's just a perception thing on my end. "Seems" like it takes more clicks, more scrolling around, etc.
What did you hope to accomplish by the changes?

Re: changes are coming.....don't freak out It was alot easier before to see new posts. If I was on the main page before I could see if there is a new post just by looking at the name of the last poster in each individual section. Now it does take more clicks by having to go in and look at the sub menus.

Re: changes are coming.....don't freak out  See how the Secret Base Forum looks different than the RxH and Gargamel forums.....that is how you tell if there are new post in a sub-forum without clicking.

Re: changes are coming.....don't freak out Glenn, yeah I see how I can observe new posting by seeing the red outline on the folders. I just liked the old way. I'm an old geeza who dislikes change.
