Before I go on, please note that I'm not trying to get peoples backs up by asking members to slag off different forums and the way they are run. I'm merely looking for constructive critism for each interface (not the layout of the sites, there is a difference).


So what do people think?

whats an interface?

This has some nice features, spell checker etc. But the more 'ordered' layout of the FCCUK forum (no huge sigs/pictures, no ads) was more pleasing to the eye.

Above all, folk are friendly here, it's easy to use and has most of the stuff we are used to.

out of all the forums i used this is much better layout. our old one was a bit dated

wheres the poll?

This is for leisure lounge....!

I can't see that many adverts Mr.B. You forgot that peachy hue :yum:

I like the smileys and spell checker :slayer:

I suppose it's more of a discussion than a poll

Isn't there some kind of Christmas bash on the 7th January? I seem to remember that was advertised on FCCUK forum
I think that the Coupe forum tended to be a bit less cluttered, due to smaller sigs etc. However, I prefer the colour scheme of Fiat Forum.
I've thought for a while that the "Report this post" option on FF is very good, and something like that would make the FCCUK mods lives easier.

they dont know how to use that

There was a "report this post" function on the FCCUK forum. As for the party banner, that wasn't an advert any more than having your Fiat Forum logo at the top of here is an advert

The colour of the FCCUK forum was chosen as it's one that's proven to reduce eye-strain, so many of our members spend 22 hours a day staring at it, any bright colours burn into their retinas

This forum software seems pretty good though but we always had very good service from our software provider and no complaints.

I wasn't that serious about the party banner! Where was the report this post button? I never saw it! I would have used it had I seen it.

Doh! Just found the "Notify moderator" button on another UBBthreads forum.

one thing i did like about the fccuk interface was that when you clicked on a thread it only took you to the bit you handn't read and not the whole thing. If that makes sense

i do like all these smilies though :slayer:

Doh!! :bang:

Love these smilies.

Dave, do you mean the little blue thing by the time of the last post? If so, that takes you to the last post in the thread. UBBthreads takes you to the first unread post since you last read that forum section. It's dead intuitive, and I forgot to mention that as one of the things I miss.
I never used "New posts" on FCCUK, because I never had to. I sometimes use it here though, but then I have to look through Punto-related posts!
