why is there an opportunity to have VERY offensive material in a "PG" section??? it's... alright...

There are gains and there are losses... lots, but we will survive.  Even the red-headed stepchild can blossom.

this new forum has some of the craziest smilies  :evar
although there are a few that need to be removed from the internet.

Post by: Suwako on July 08, 2006, 06:09:35 PM
They're alright.
some things aren't quite balanced out yet. But I like this place.
and I already recognized the base. (the base forum PHP)

if I used half of the offensive ones in some forums, then I would get the label of  one who has "failed the internet"

I kinda like it better... I never use integrated smilies - I make my own (even though thy may not be as cool or whatever). (http://home.earthlink.net/~yinou/panther%20smile.gif) (generic panther emoticon)

Dakata thinks the new forum's alright. Even though the anti-ninja thing and the karma thing suck. >>;

peh, the karma thing is just for fun.  It really means nothing.

Eh. I'm not really picky. Just so long as I can post somewhere, I'm happy. =P

Its ok, prefered the old one, but the new one will do...

Post by: pinkbird on July 08, 2006, 10:59:49 PM
I really like it, but, then again, it's a layout with which I am really familiar.
Title: Re: DMFA's new forum...
Post by: xHaZxMaTx on July 09, 2006, 01:24:12 AM
I really like this layout, and it gives me a chance to start from the beginning. :)

Post by: Eibborn on July 09, 2006, 05:10:21 PM
Eh. Some good, some bad. I really dislike karma and sorta dislike the post-count categories, but there are lots of neat things, too. Like the calender, which has all of our birthdays on it, and the custom titles (for example, Fantard Extrodinaire).  So... yeah. It balances out.
Title: Re: DMFA's new forum...
Post by: Tarkya on July 09, 2006, 06:03:42 PM
I like it. I'ts kind of a nice design, more like the other forums I go to. Certainly wins in "ease of use" catagory for me.

I miss my post count, though. D:

I like it. I don't really care for karma and postcount-related titles, but I like everything else and that's a lot. :)

I think it's a good change... It's all better organized and there's nifty new features

I'd find it really neat if there was portuguese in the language list
Title: Re: DMFA's new forum...
Post by: Vaguely Creepy on July 09, 2006, 06:35:30 PM
I like it for the most part. I find the different sections of the forums a little daunting, but I think that's just because I'm used to having everything lumped together. All in all, it's good.

I like it.  :nod

Especially the text formatting... much easier to use than the old one.

great stuff, lots of options that lacked in the previous ones, like choosing a default skin and hiding avatars and signatures, now I can browse at work without giving a damn on who might be behind me  :mwaha

I kinda liked having everything lumped together -- I could jump between comic update and art threads all in the same forum.

I do like the text formatting and the calendar on this forum.  I don't really mind about the emoticons.

This forum even said someone replied before I finished mine.  Neat!

well the main problem with that configuration is, that sometimes a thread could end up on page 2 the very same day, yay spamtasik :p
and speaking of art, this way you don't have to go through thousand of spam threads to find that particular one back.
just my 2 cents  :bunny

Don't worry, Jack. The other options on the list don't work.

Ahhh Zedd...the only one I know who could get his signature and his personal text title mixed up...

Whenever I see Amber's Signature, I keep on having Link's Awakening flashbacks...

I love it. The smilies are pretty dang sweet even though I don't use them much. But that may change... muahaha. :chainsaw
The spooky-ness of the main page is pretty awesome. *bows down to the dark side*

Sorry if this has been asked somewhere before, but, if somebody starts an DMFA Role-Play would they put it here or in the... Ball Room or whatever section?

Well, be sure to hit up the "Things you can change" thread for important info on skins, avatars, and sigs.

I rather like the forum software, myself.  Of course, phpBB is still my favourite forum but that's because it's the only truly Free forum out there and I always support Free stuff.  I like SMF though because it's stable and it has a nice range of features, it feels particularly nice to use, too.

I only have one quibble, really.  That's that after posting a post, it runs back to the main forum instead of the thread one just posted in.  That seems a little counterproductive.  Other than that though, it's groovy.

You can change that in your personal settings.

Oooooh ... the power, the power!

I hadn't exactly gotten around to looking at the personal settings yet.  Thanks!
