Thoughts about the new site?

Good job Peter....The new format is "Clean and Fast"
It takes some time to adjust, but in my opinion much better.

Thanks

I like it: it's fast and has clean look indeed. However, I still don't like the fact that if I sign in when I have a thread openend, I get thrown back to the homepage ;-)
What's planned anyway?
Greetings,

Peter I thoink its OK though I was partial to the Old PBH with the Hummingbird. One big thing I miss is the Edit Function to correct mispellings; are you going to add this like before?

I like it a lot Peter especially the new features...could we have an ignore counter on the persons profile page.....it would be nice to know how many people have a certain member on ignore...this features is used on other discussion boards I post to.....also.....on a different note....why have we had an dramatic increase in trolls, people with numerous account, new members....has it something to do with the new site?...I remember a few years ago we might get a new member once or twice a month....back then a new female member was unheard of.....not that I am complaining about new female members...I think its great we have more of them....and is there anything we can do about people having various account

listo

Peter (Moderator) says on Aug 19, 2007, 07:43:

yes, edit, and login redirection, and photo galleries are all planned :)

The trolls come in waves, sometimes we get lots, then it's quiet again for a few months. That's just life on the internets ;)

when I click on the '# new posts'.... most of the time, it goes back to the top, to the 'original post'.

Only occasionlly does it go 'only to the new posts', since you last clicked on, or were on that thread.

It would save some time, if that could be corrected, so that if you click on the ' number of new posts', it goes only to those new posts, since you were last on that thread.

I'm not sure I am explaining it right.
comprende? Peter?

Where do we go from here?

I like it. It's clean and quick. And I've not had any problems accessing this site from any computer on any OS. Back in December, the site would give me fits on Mac OS9.

And yes, a photo gallery would be nice, maybe broken down into subjects/cities.

Peter when I get email sent directly to me via the PBH website, I can only see the person's email address and I can't see their PBH username so many times I have no idea who it is and if it is ok to respond or not?

Otherwise all is fine, except for what GIB said about commenting and it takes so long you double click and then you make the same comment twice.

Peter, I have also noticed the speed is sometimes a little sluggish, especially when making a comment. For a while it was great on the new server, but there's still some times when it's a little slow. And I echo GS's complaint about NEW not working properly on some posts. Not sure if it's the length of the posts that impact it or not. Definitely doesn't work on the long posts. Other than that, the change has been quite positive!

and, I would echo Mona's issue; on occasion, someone sends me a pm inquiring....WTFRU? jejjje...../////....usually sounds a lil viscious, so when I C that, ...I DUCK!

I'd also like to be able to continue to 'evolve' my name a bit.
I might want to change to DuckNoLimitado, or... PereiraPatico...

Where do we go from here?

Website is running great, Peter.

The new website was supposed to give more flexibility in blocking trolls. Is the IP type blocking already in place for new member registrations? Can colombia_mike's new ID's eventually get prevented? As it stands, it seems with each new username he's allowed to work himself into a frenzy before the mods flush his account and posts.

que nota!
