One Suggestion.. The Thread Column seems a little cramped. If you get rid of the "RATING" Column it should provide more room.. I don't know if anyone cares about Rating Threads or not..

And.. Is there a quicker way to Add a Subscription to each Post? Like a Radio button? I prefer a default setting to Subscribe to any posts I make.. You figure if theres any thread worth replying to you wanna be notified when someone adds to it so that your kept in the conversation, etc.

The page itself loads up about 3x faster, but the latency seems to be the same. So going to a new forum has a 3 sec stall, then it loads blindingly fast. Same with the threads.

Im on a T1, fyi.

Head into your user cp -- you can set your default to one of like three different therad subscription options.. The rating column is definitely one we can do without I think

ooh, I'm noticing one thing -- this software package hits the database server in a completely different way than UBB did... It's time to performance tune all over again

Hmm, that is what it is. It takes at least 5-10 seconds after I click before I see the page. But the page loads fast.

But I like the interface.

You can hit the little USER CP button up in top and go to options, there you can unsuscribe from the page, unless there is an easier way for Brains to fix it.

Overall im pleased with the new look and all the options we have. Nice to see that this site is always progressing.

I know about that option, but I don't want to unsubcribe completely. Otherwise I will miss the posts.

Looks sexay, but the gray lines between each post is annoying...

grey lines are going away...

also -- performance will be up and down today as I performance tune this animal... you might occasionally hit a database error or something as I reload server daemons and such...

Oh yeah, might want to default time to GMT -5 since a lot of users are from the east.

Also, is there any way to change the amount of threads that are displayed on each page (in the racers lounge, it shows about 30 threads), because I like to scroll down and not have to switch pages. Also it looks like the the newest thread previews on the home page aren't lining up correctly.



Fixed

Why does the search have to have 4 letters or more. Like if I look up cam bascis, it says that cam is under the specified search length or something.
