Dear Talkers,

PLEASE follow the Etiquette:

- use the username known from the old Talk or your real name
- put your location in the Profile; in the case of US locations, please put also US at the end
- if you want to change your username, contact the Administrator

A few tips:

- if you were following a thread on the old Talk, please continue it here
- please try the attachments; check the allowed file types first, and don't forget the 256K per post limit!

Could the moderator please post a list of forbidden words.

For example, are [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored] and [censored] allowed?

This is a nice change. I have always preferred BBoards over mailing lists. The search feature will come in VERY handy as this board progresses. Good call with using phpBB, Djordje. I use it on another web site, and I have had no, or little problems with it.

BTW if you need any help, let me know. I've been running phpBB for 2 years now. 😉

That's going to be tough to post anything but screen shots - no ZIPed PLNs I guess.

Hello all,

I've always found the list-serve format a lot klunky and I couldn't bother participating in it (although I do read every day).

I know that I will enjoy this format very much and look forward to adding my experiences to everyone else's.

I agree with Gpowless. I've been a dedicated reader of Archicad Talk but have not even post a single message till now.

Yes, great work guys.

I used to subscribe to the list, but got sick of it

But, I think I'll be here a fair bit.

Yes agreed.. This is fantastic. It's much more accessible for people, more user friendly so to speak..

But as I mentioned in the beta phase Djordje, 5 posts per page is too little. Is it possable to change so we can see more posts per page???

I totally agree beno. would be nice if the default was say 20posts per pages.

And while I'm at it, those blinking icons on the main pages are a little annoying. would be nice if a thread with unread topics/post in it was just a different colour - and static

Cheers.
James.

Good news. I really started to hate the text-based mailing list.

And nice to see some images too. Come on, everyone should post a picture, so we finally see who we have been talking to for the last few years.

Who is the biggest surprise?

I vote for Dwight ... such a poker face!

I am dissapointed with this site. It seems that passive participation was on the low end of the priority scale.

Before - I could see all the topics, delete the ones of no or little interest, and read others of interest - even if I wasnt in need of fixing a problem. Now I have to search just to listen in....and in this type of furum...it will just be more banter.

I completly agree with Wendy - I will use this site occasionally, but no where near the old list.

Also - why break up the conversations into categories?? Archicad is so interrelated, I already feel like I am missing something if I dont look into every category....which just add more time .. Beside, Isnt that what escribe provides

Hope it will improve over time.

Perhaps we can have a section that shows the Ten latest posts. These 10 posts will be the latest, regardless of what section they were written in.

This function is implemented on other forums built on a similar engine. http://www.thereeftank.com/index.php for example. This allows passive readers to see all the new topics and recent activities. Posting or researching can then be done in the actual forums. I am pretty active on this forum and find it very efficient.

So what do you think Djordje? Is this possible? Or a good idea?

Daniel, this is a great idea and I think it will please those who prefer the list format. You should make certain that is shows the latest "posts" and not the latest "topics".

You can select "view posts since last visit" at the bottom of the main page. This works well to just keep up with the various conversations.

How do you add a picture in your profile? I don't remember being prompted for that when I registered to the newe forum.

After logging in just go to the 'Profile' link at the top right of the page ... at the _very bottom_ of the page there is an option to upload an 'avatar' (bulletin-board speak for 'piccy') - note the maximum sizes allowed ...

Good luck & look forward to seeing you soon!
