Also, the sidebar links stay the same color after you click on them? Seems annoying. The forums I visit currently are always a different color, so it makes switching to forums I read easier.

i am sure it makes 1 person happy that he could be in charge of reorganizing the sidebar, but it pisses everybody else off.

Nick,

This wasn't the decision of just one person. Other people who favored this arrangement include myself, El Diablo, and MEbenhoe amidst other who tried out the test forum.

What's this Shout Box? It looks fairly awesome.

A number of people suggested 4life go in the community area, and IIRR, Gildwulf himself had the final decision.

that'll be turned off at go live. Way too many posters to make that viable, though I guess we might work out how to make it forum-specific if I or another developer get some time, and it's felt worthwhile.

Re: The Upcoming Upgrade
 

Why weren't ALL OF THE MODS involved in these discussions.

Bad call guys.

And yeah, moving 4L away from BBV is silly.

No problem.

The answer is that Chuck and I wanted to keep the test group small. There are a number of reasons for this, but the most important one for me was that too many voices pulling everything in too many directions would have slowed us down quite a bit.

I feel the group we used gave us a good perspective on what most mods and other members opinions would be.

The BBV4Life move was the most difficult forum reorganization decision to make. The opinions were all split pretty evenly, and originally I was very against the idea of moving it away from BBV. But El Diablo and others eventually convinced me that it would be worth a try, and I agree that it could work very well.

If it doesn't, we can always move it back.

This decision was mine. So if people are interested in pointing fingers at someone later on, they shouldn't blame gildwulf.

Re: The Upcoming Upgrade
 

Ryan,

Given that there was already an open thread with a lot of suggestions about re-organizing the sidebar, why did you guys bother to re-create that discussion.

One of the things I like about being a mod is that it gives me input on stuff like this. If we're going to have long threads where we share our ideas only to have them ignored, that's just really lame.

Re: The Upcoming Upgrade
 

do we need to do anything as far as the forum upgrade? i'm still not green over there in the test forum.

Agreed. Also, why is bbv4l a community, but mtt community is is the strategy area?
