What should be the URL of the new forums?

Just the software.

The issue is resolved now. djensen has informed me, that he freed up some space.
I have already tested it, and new savegames will be uploaded to the forum correctly as well as downloaded to the user’s harddrive.

Enjoy gaming :-)

Most of the discussion about the structure of the new board has actually taken place over here…

…in a thread that’s actually about the name of the new URL, rather than here in this thread about the new forum organization – so I’m not sure where I should provide feedback.  The present thread seems like the most logical place to discuss ideas for the structure.

Speaking in very general terms: if any of the proposed small number of top-level categories were genuinely to have an inordinately large number of subcategories, in my mind this would be an indication that the top-level categories would need to be re-thought.  Ideally, the number of top-level and sub-level categories ought to be reasonable in both cases.  And if the only way to make one number reasonably small is to make the other number excessively large, no matter how they’re arranged, this might be an indication that a three-level structure is needed (though it wouldn’t be my first option, and though I wouldn’t go beyond three levels).

At any rate, it’s hard to express an opinion without seeing an outline of the entire proposed revised structure, with all the levels indicated.  Could we see what the draft structure currently is?

Good to know, thanks DJ.

Posting non-minis stuff for trade is fine. I’ll eventually create a new board for it but in the meantime use the minis section.

Djensen:

I have been on other sites (namely DnD Online Games and the Star Wars Gaming Club) where a feature is installed on their SMF forums that allows you to go to your last post in a thread.

The feature is great in that it allows you to go to your last post and read all the replies from that point on cutting down on missed replies that might be saying the same thing you want to say or that you might want to rebut in your reply. (Sometimes you go to a thread and think “yea, I was on page 4 last time, so I’ll start there” but your reply was really on page 3 and one or more were posted under it that you don’t see when you go to page 4.)

Any chance of getting that installed here as well?

Jenny, the most humble one! (And Omni-Radiant, as always!!!)

Did not like the demotion DF?  I see you are back into 10th kicking Marine back to 11th again…
