Favourite Discovery So Far?

[Kier]

As you play around for the first time, what big or little feature has stuck out as your favourite so far?

My favorite discovery: That the rumors were true. Kier and Mike were cooking something up..

I also want to add 'questions of members being answered by staff members' instead of the usual 'maybe some day some place and maybe not' answers we've got used to at some other official forums.

The community is still very new. It only got started yesterday. I hope I'm wrong, but probably as it grows, the replies from Staff will be less frequent. Hard to respond to 10000 questions a day

I do know. It wasn't about the frequency, it's the answers themselves I'm aiming at. Kier and Mike are currently giving straight, clear and honest answers to the questions, while vB didn't do that so much imo.

So far I like the simplicity. I think one of the problems with VB is that it has become so unwieldy. So far this looks a lot less cluttered. I have to take a serious look at this project as it may come down the line in the future that we migrate 30-40 forums to this; my biggest overall concern is how complicated things will become. It is my hope that you build with simplicity in mind but with the ability to introduce complexity where it is wanted. I must say though, I really like what I see so far. I think I would have more to offer once/if I get a chance to see the back end and the code and how it performs on the infrastructure I normally work with. I would love to delve into the internals!

Concept: Provide the utmost simplicity for novices without getting in the way of experts.

Excellent!

I like the 'posting' tab in someones profile, so you can view all of his posts.

 

[Mikey]

Oh, and although it's not a feature, I liked just how small the ToS is you have to agree to.

I love having the avatars next to the threads on the thread listing page. I love how easy it is to read through a thread. I don't know, there's so much I love about this so far....but my favorite discovery, of course, is Kier and Mike working together on this

 

[Floris]

jmh!!! nice to see you here too.

jmh!!! nice to see you here too.

likewise I will be happy to give this project my full support.

ooh, just thought of another favorite...the alert box. Something I've always wanted in vBulletin...that tells me that I have a reply to a thread or whatever. Freaking awesome!

Indeed. You can definitely tell the user experience (UI) was not an after thought here.

I wonder if this is the iPhone of the BBS?

the iPhone4 or BBS, just like the gmail of email.

and here's another feature I love...it appears you can control permissions on a per-thread basis. I realized that I couldn't reply to the Q & A thread in this very forum

 

[Brian]

So much good stuff here... If I had to pick one favorite so far though I'd say it's the javascript used to show a members' details when you click on their avatar/username. Very nice and slick, as is most everything else I've seen so far.

This feature already exists in other forum software. It's called a closed thread.
