Petition: Please change forums how they used to be

SMIFFGIG

Please could the forums on the front page be changed back to how they where about 2 days ago, i mean have all the projects out and on display
not hidden away is folders

Does anyone agree with me on this, im sure some do cause, well it just was way better how it was

i dont think projects should be hidden away but just IMO they should be on display to show and boast what is really going on in the community and the site

the poll speaks for itself.

I hate having to go into a folder to see which forums have new posts.

But it has links in the category that you can click on. With the other way, it was too cluttered.

I don't need links, I need to know which forums have new posts, preferable without having to load all of the pages of the folders...PPM pages take forever to load for me

I suppose it is a long list of forums, but how is that cluttered?

maybe you could make it be link Arm-Ent or Sleipnir's Stuff

I don't think it was un organized maybe later on though if we have like 15 hosted projects then yes they should be sorted into folders, but Banshee had them sorted nicely before.

They don't? Fine, I voted yesterday, here's my "comment".

Splitting the projects into subforums sucks ARSE!

If the question is "did you hacked the poll and edited all replies?", the answer is NO.

what don't you just use "View posts since last visit"

Actually Kravitz has a point although I would prefer them all back out in the open, I could prolly live with it telling me in what subforum ahs the new posts.

I don't care either way, but, are you asking to remove the ENTIRE subforum mod, or just the projects?

Anyway, how can you be so lazy that you can't click one more link to get where you're going? You can see if there's new posts in a forum just by looking at the category, and if there's new posts in the category, then you know there's new posts in the forum. Simple as that.

just the projects...

SUPER IDEA.... why not make a clone of the PPM style forum, but put the forums un catagorized and all shown like it used to be and everyone wants it, so you can choose PPMgrouped or PPMungrouped...

Banshee · Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2003 4:57 pm Post subject:

I dont know how to do that Sad

I'm not being lazy! #Mad

PPM loads the slowest of all of the forums I go to, for at least two reasons:
the banner is huge and takes forever to load
the posts per page is way above the normal 15 or 20.

I am not going to turn off images for this one site!

I have a 26.4 K connection to the internet...it is so slow...

I get 26.4 with a 28.8, a 33.6, and a 56k modem.
Cable internet access and DSL are both not available in my area. Sad

Now do you understand, why I feel how I do?

Kravitz... I'm working for some solutions on this thing... anyway, I suggest you to use smart dark theme... it will load much faster for ya, since the banner is a way smaller...
