Nice thing about this forum

Post by Psistrike »

I've been on phpBB based forums in the past but forget they had this feature on all of them.

Nice to see if any posts have been made while you were making yours and what they are.

Indeed, I've always appreciated the phpBB forums for that reason.

As someone who frequents the boards at work and can't always finish my post in a timely manner, this is a very useful feature.

Another nice thing is when you click mark forums read, it just gives you a pop-up stating it was done instead of reloading the whole site just to do so.

I dig that you can add more than four pictures at once. HOW ELSE DO I STAT ELSA, GREEN RONIN!?!?

Plus a "smiley" doesn't prevent you from posting four pics.

Also, you can have FIFTEEN posts per page, instead of ten. You know how many times I hesitated to post a "major" build, because it'd end up at the bottom of a page? Because I KNEW that there would be some guy who'd make a comment, and then that build would be buried. Happened constantly on the "10 posts" forums. And I wasn't gonna upgrade to "20 posts" You know how LONG that would make something, the way I go on?

Plus... No weird "*" things pop up when I post from e-mail. I still have no idea how that happened.

You can Edit things and it won't immediately create this HUGE space between your post and "Edited By"- it just shows up on the bottom of the post! As a very anal-retentive person, I HATED IT when my builds would suddenly have this ugly space underneath them because I had to edit something in.

Oh yeah, and the Front Page Bug is not a thing here. I can post my Iron Man build as a whole!

Yeah, I never really quite thought about it, having been away from the old ATT forum for so long... but the last forum sucked balls. I mean, mechanically. I did kind of like updated threads being in bold text, but that's a minor thing.

If the Green Ronin forums had this feature, we all could have avoided The Incident.

New posts will show up in the most recent posts that are at the bottom of the screen if you Preview your post before submitting. Not quite as nice but the feature is there if a little hidden
