Standardizing WinCustomize Forums

Beta testing forums.wincustomize.com

from WinCustomize Forums

We are working standardizing WinCustomize's forums.  What I mean by that is that with all the Stardock websites we are working on one code base that will run all our forums.  Several of our sites (forums.galciv2.com, forums.stardock.com, forums.societygame.com, etc) already use the same forum code.  But current WinCustomize has it's own custom flavor.  So we are getting close to completing this transormation over at https://forums.wincustomize.com/ . If you feel like beta testing it for us then please start having a look around and let us know of any bugs or missing features or inconsistencies it has compared to the current forums.

Please do not turn this into a wish list, that will come later.  After we get the current forums converted over we are going to look into revamping the forums to have a more similar look to all the generic forums out on the web.

Update Posted 9:17 AM EST.

FYI - We're working on drastically upgrading our text editor; both the WYSIWYG editor and the plain ol' textarea editor (for new posts and replying).

Sir Lantec - What are you trying to say? PLEASE be as descript as possible when reporting issues.
Reply #22 from WinCustomize Forums Top
the 'honorifics' are missing from user names...

also, after adding a comment, when you hit submit, you are taken to the top of the post, rather than the bottom...
Reply #23 from WinCustomize Forums Top
User names aren't bold.
Jafo: click "more" to get the sticky posts.

The footer reads "Copyright © 1995- Stardock.net" a little old, I think.
Spacing seems to be quite off everywhere.
The Edit Comment and New Post screen has a transparent background.

further to my earlier post #22, when returning to a thread you have visited, you are taken to the top of the post, rather than the last post you read...

Honorifics are not part of the forum reply system any longer. They may be added again in the future.
