That happens when the page hasn't loaded completely, depending on your connection and other things. There's a setting in Opera about "redraw instantly/after 1-20 seconds/when loaded". Anyway I enter the forums from http://www.abandonia.com/en/forum?ur....php?do=getnew and then I always open everything in its tab, so I don't get any more frames. But even that page is displayed well 99 per cent of the times, perhaps it's my connection.

I do know some of the problems on the forum that are similar though: as long as you do not keep the header at the top, the forum works fine but I've noticed some odd behaviour when you have the Abandonia site menu visible.

Anyway there is a reason why frames were banished from the most recent standards, and Studentis's choosing to use them in a site designed not long ago is completely dismaying.

Maybe that's been fixed since then - I haven't used Opera in half a year but it was very annoying before. It would only let me read a few posts in a topic and not allow me to scroll through it.

Whoah thanks for your constructive criticism and balanced tone. And if you care to read at the bottom, what you call "homebrew" is

And the old forum had Google advertisement, Jesus have mercy. (Well placed though, of course.)
Anyway thanks for your complaint, we hadn't noticed the issues

The ad is on the site page http://www.abandonia.com/en/forum not on the vBulletin frame http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/

Fine, fine, I've removed most of the filters now. Stop whining.
But FYI, changing to a different forum software IS NOT SIMPLE. It requires access to several things we don't have right now, it requires someone who's familiar with the forum database work and has any idea how to reimport the forum database if the change gets messed up.
The integration between the site and the forum complicates things further, and let's not forget Drupal - on which the main site is running - doesn't neccesarily support all forum softwares. I'm pretty certain the version we currently have has no support for IPB integration.

No, I'm saying we can't do a thing at the moment.
Expect changes in the near future.

I just feel the forum is broken in many pieces.

Any other bloody questions ? And can somebody fix this fuc king forum ? it is getting more and more screwy A LOT. Since the forum is worse than before and filled with CRAPPY google ads and what not. Change to a real forum version, not this homebrew crap. And remove the God damn censor philter, it is even more insane than before. Jesus what a load of bollocks lately. It is no wonder why I am not here around that much. Because of this screwy forum style. Which feels extremely loose in comparison to the former forum. Heck your sister site is doing wonders without any kind bloody arse stupid ads , and second of all. They are using a real forum. Which is envision forum, if I am not mistaken of the name. |
Feel free to complain here: http://www.studentis.com/?q=en/node/38
