Bugged Again ·

Don't worry guys theres no conspiracy against youse, too\k me a couple of attempts to get there and my vote didn't count either, still 0%.

i'm sure there will be a vote on the real forum before anything is changed permanently, hopefully looks to organised wood suit a german site

bugboymatt ·

Sure hope so.
Would like to know who changed it in the first place and why ?
There was nothing wrong with it as it was.

Boozer ·

i can't give my opinion cause i still can't see it.😠:cussing:cry

helterskelter400 ·

as far as i understand it...

to avoid the "xmb" shiite that at least i get sometimes and the "wtf happened to my post" shiite, the powers that bee have been lookin at an alt forum hoster.

maybee this one will rid us of a 50kb limit.
150kb'd be nice - allow printing up o qual pikkies at work for shed display purposes.

maybee multi pikkies, maybe vid & sound, mebee i ask too much.

we been thru i forum change to "improve" the site - popups- (altough some mite disagree), looks like someone is gittin reddy for the next.

dunno:jesus

vanderaj ·

Man, you guys can post fast! 🙂

Until recently, we had no test account. So I had to use our primary one, which is no good for production stability.

So coupled with some insanely stupid hours on my part, the TEST TEST TEST forum is there.

When I get some time soon (I hope), I'll rejig things back to the way they were until we're ready to move to phpBB.

And yes, there will be more VW's on the front page... but also you'll be able to create your own galleries, similar to the way the Samba or Yahoo Photos works.

The votes don't count cos the survey expired... as I expected the TEST TEST TEST forum to not last as long as it did.

Brad ·

I can not believe you guys filled up two pages of crap winging about somthing which has been clearly noted on the forum for over a week. Talk about keen to bitch and not keen to get involved.
Have a look at http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=8297
In fact some of you guys even posted on the thread "i tink it is preety kool "

On another note regardless of if you like it or not I think it is very rude to hang shit on those who spend many many free hours making this place what it is. By all means hack on them for other things. If you object so much to the actions of the "Admins" then feel free to offer a helping hand and positive input. We are always looking for people to help out around here.

We are not moving hosters, check out the thread for more details.

We are attempting to make the site more user friendly and inviting. Personnally I could give a toss as my interface is completely different to you guys anyway.

Anyway I have ranted on for long enough. Andrew I appreciate the effort you have / are putting in keep it up. :thumb

Stanley ·

What Brad said.....go admin

bugboymatt ·

Easy tiger.

Just stated don't like the front age. Which i dont. The old one looked a lot better and more inviting ! Thats my fifty pence worth.

Nothing against the guys who look after this i think ya's all do a great job. Yeah if ya told me how i could help out i would. Give back something for the use and great entertainment i and others get from this site.......

Hi,
I do not objcet to you opinion I object to your comments about the running and getting input from members.

You opinions is what we were after and why we asked for tester.

As for helping, we are always looking for graphics, VW related smilies ( net surf for them ) ideas on new iniatives like Photo Albums which we are working on and ideas on ideas.

Cheers,

bugboymatt ·

OK fair enough that coment came after tried to use the vote option !! voted against front page and nothing happened !!! funny that.
If you vote for something and it's not recognised then i guess i must be the only one who thinks that opions are not really what was after.

Thats why that statment come about.
Just thought would clarify in the context why i wrote what i did.
Mind you shouldn't have to.

I went across to the test forum when Andrew first put up the link.

Posted, played. Found my way around.
Said then it was good.

Stanley ·

2 views, it's human nature to resist change yet a change is as good as a holiday.

Man i get a sore arse sitting on this fence.

Keep up the good work admin your efforts don't go unappreciated......:thumb

bugboymatt ·

Never said wasn't appreciated.

Gees you lot are picky when somebody says they don't like something !!!!

Is everybody supposed to just follow around like sheep !!!!!!!

Stanley ·

BAAAA

Boozer ·

i still can't see it so i can't give my opinion on what it looks like...😠:cussing:cry:cussing

Boozer ·

Yay! i can see it! looks kewl to me.

Man the entire purpose of the test forum was so that people could have a say and that is why the thread was put up about it asking for testers and opinions.

We can go on argueing around in circles forever, if you were Wes I would but since I don't really know you that well I will sit the dance out as I have said my bit.

Please feel free to post as much feedback as you want just don't accuse us of not asking for input on this issue, we did.

The vote thing expired, it was all just a test. rest assured before we actually go live on anying it will be out there for comment and feedback.

Cheers,

vanderaj ·

I reverted the front page.

You can still reach the test forum at http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/phpBB/ but I'd appreciate if you could leave it alone for now whilst I work out how to migrate us from there to here.
