amvo forum revamp and change of URL

[philoldsmobile]

was http://www.amvo.org/amvoforum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.amvo.org/amvoforum   now http://www.amvo.org/forum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.amvo.org/forum

i always wondered why it wasnt like that in the 1st place

[philoldsmobile]

the URL or the forum?

personaly my first impression is the old forum was far better, this is not a nice layout, avatars and postcounts etc appear on the right hand side of the posts, not the left, and its not as clear.

Vbulliten or mini BB FTW, all others FTL

[55starchief]

The URL, nearly every forum is always /forum

Damn thats nasty, sorry amvo guys

[philoldsmobile]

yeah, sucks in a big way doesn't it...

there are lots of tweaks in the pipeline, and considering the new forum has only been online a few hours, it seems its appearance has gone down like a lead balloon.. hopefully that can be changed, coz the old one was simple clean and functional..

[55starchief]

I still find it hard to use other forums as the layout of this one is so easy, we even started to change the vbuletin layout on HCP to be more intuitive lke this one

[philoldsmobile]

yup, this forum is perfect for what we need..

gotta say, at the moment (and i stress at the moment as i know changes are imminent, although i have no idea what changes) thats gotta be the least intuative and most fussy forum i've seen...

[philoldsmobile]

bad move, people not happy...

really dont like whats going on over there right now..

its just old dogs new tricks,

What are these "other" forums of which you speak

[Jamieg285]

The Musclecar forums had exactly the same response when they upgraded to the same forum.

The good news is it can be tweeked easily enough, it just needs someone to have the time to read the manuals.

[CJ-IROCZ]

[nick69]
