Landlord Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Fully implemented IRC/Java chat! Come on admins/mods, make it happen like the sig... anyway I thought they had it way back when.... I could swear we had a java chat the day Bo was rolled out... We did, and it didn't make the transition with the board upgrade. There were talks of implementing it again and better than before, but it understandably took a back seat with all the other work that's been going on. Quote Link to comment
kansas husker Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 The chat would be awesome to have back. On another note when I click on the "pages" link at the top of the page I get this message [#10CCS13] We apologize for the downtime, but the system will be back online as soon as possible!

redblooded Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 It's missing a way for users to select their own themes. Is there any way for users to select their own themes? No offense to people that like the new color scheme, but I definitely prefered plain and simple white without the distracting red background. Was just easier to look at. Quote Link to comment
Husker Runner Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 We have over fifty subforums in Plan-It Husker and four subforums in the A/V Tech Club but the Husker volleyball subforum is gone. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNLimbo Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 First off, I like the new look of the board. Nice work fellas. However, do you think you could change the Nebraska "N" to the new N opposed to the old "N" with the cursive Huskers written in front of it in the Next game sign? Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 You gotta go back to the old version. This version gives me a headache. Quote Link to comment
Husker_x Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I absolutely LOVE the addition of a scoreboard. I did like the previous color scheme better, though, as well as the forum icons. I like that the pinned topics have been reduced on the main forum. Since Huskerboard is bar none the best message board I've ever seen or been around––both in terms of quality presentation and intelligent posting/moderation––I hate to complain about stuff. The only thing I would provide by way of feedback is you might want to reconsider the tsunami of red all over the place. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 I guess I asked for it with the thread title, but I meant for this to be specifically about chat, not about everyone's opinions and critiques of the new layout Nice hijack guys.....just kidding, it was totally my fault.

AR Husker Fan Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Let's see if I can address a few of the issues: 1. Chat's been discussed, but so far as I know there's not been a decision made on whether to offer it. If we did, I assume we'd use the add-on module for good integration, and that would cost, so it's not something I see happening soon. 2. Yes, we could offer the old skin, but it's a pain to maintain both, since we have to manually update various features - the Countdown Clock, the Previous Game, etc. For that reason, we're going to keep it limited to just this skin. 3. Sub-forums. There's always going to be a battle of "too many" verses "too few." We kept the breakout for the Plan-It Husker primarly because, prior to having all the sub-forums, topics were not getting responses. This way, you can pop in and look for just the area of the country or world that interests you. As for Other Husker Sports - yes, during a season we get an up-tic on the number of posts for a particular sport, but generally speaking, there isn't enough posting going on overall to warrant seperate sub-forums. In-season, we might bet a couple of topics a week. Out of season, it's more like a topic every few months, if that often. We don't think that merging them will cause too much trouble finding topics about a particular sport for that reason. 4. The Nebraska "N." I'll leave that to one of our Mods with graphics or design skills. If they come up with something, we'll use it. Anything there's this much change, there will be folks who love it and folks who hate it. But generally, if you dislike it, give it time - most people get used to it. And this is a radical change, we know. It's more "saturated" with color, for one thing. But keep letting us know what you like and what you don't like - we can't do anything without your input.

General Blackshirt Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 It may just be my computer, but this is probably the slowest the board has ever loaded. It takes forever to get from page to page , and even as I type this it takes a few seconds for the words to show up. That's never happened, and if it's the board and not my computer, it's probably frustrating enough to cause people to leave the board. Quote Link to comment

I run Opera v10.62 and the board is blazing. I tried IE v6 (yes it's old, but my work forces it) and the page loads were very slow. Quote Link to comment

I've used IP Board integrated chat modules before, safe to say they're junk. IRC is boatloads more flexible. I'm sure there has to be some mods that would embed a java applet into the forum somewhere that could connect to an IRC channel? I know there are tons of them for vBulletin, haven't ever looked for IP. Quote Link to comment
