Yup, that does the trick! Now it would be nice if ie7 kept me logged in too, but he, it works to get here, so that is nice enough!

When I use ie7 opening the board, ie7 crashes and closes the connection (website cannot be opened) No problems in FF and GG. Anyone else have this?

Good luck AWS, ipb is a great product and hope you do well here. But also nice to see you are open for coop with others, mucho importante!

Not my taste really, but it is ok. But ('OMG, he always has a 'but'') on the index you have white font that does not come out right, hard to read. (category title) Also, strange login. I was looking for it, expecting it on top, but no. So had to get to the login by the link in the footer and than the login was available on top. Strange. Also a bit irritating that it does not redirect me to the topic I was reading atm. Instead it led me to the index again.

Maybe add a Marketplace too?

Guy's (and ladies), I wish you and your family a fantastic 2010! Over here we will arrive in 2010 in about 13 hours, so if you live in another timezone and want to have a scoop how 2010 is, just call me, ok?http://ipbwebmaster.com/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

Honestly? I do not like it. It's too simple and does not fit with the board. The board uses tabs, would be nicer and logical to have it on the mainpage. Also, I always like to see a welcome text on the homepage, tell the visitors a bit what this site is about instead of giving the latest info. That would be fine below the welcome text. Latest news on the right is not getting the attention it should be. I think another backgroundcolor on that would be better to let the items stand out. But that is my opinion, a guy who lives in a country with wooden shoes. http://ipbwebmaster.com/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

I know you are working on it, but I do not want to keep it to myself. Yesterday I noticed there was no direct link on the homepage to the boards index, only to the subforums. Is that supposed to be like that. Personaly I do not like it and want a normal link to the boards. Now I must go to a subforum and than to the index. Not userfriendly imvho http://ipbwebmaster.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

Nice things you name there Mike, I agree with those horrible items. But than again, it is al about the topic of the board. I do not agree completely with what you say. You make a comparison with a mall and shopwindows, but I do not think you can compare that with a board, unless you are selling items/products. Also, I do not think it realy matters for SEO how the order of your forums are. Ofcourse the general forums must be a small percentage of the board, but that is logical. It would be bad to see more pages in SE about the wrong stuff. I think this because people will find you anyway. I have my general forums on top. I must say my board is about health with pretty heavy topics and the reason I have it on top is as follows: - In my country it is more common that way, so it would make people irritated to find each board uses something else - In it are intro, feedback, news, agenda, requests for participation for tvprograms, interviews etc, but also offtopic. So it shows perfectly what we are about, but also that we can have fun, not only serious stuff. - Rules are there too. These are very, very important for us so besides the registrationrules, I want all members not to miss it out. (I hate forced read, so wont use that) - 80% of our visitors find us by SE, so it proofs it does not matter if it is on top or not, people search on words, not on board. - Most people visit my (and your) board knowing what it is about. So they know what they can find and on any board it is pretty common to scroll to see all info. So better to put these forums on top, the other ones they will find anyway. But must say it does depend on the topic of your board. What works best for my board may be bad for yours. Like I said, here in Holland it is most common to have the general forums on top (I do not know one which does it other way round right now) and it works fine, so again: Why do US boards do it other way round. I do think the general forums are a very important part of a board, and I do not mean the offtopics/fun forum, but the rest.

Why is it that many (or most) American boards have the general forums as last forum? I see it many times, the introductions, feedback etc are all downstairs. I find it a bit strange an does not welcome me as new member. Ok, I know how it goed, but there are more people who don't. I like it better to have the general forum on top. In it are the rules, announcements etc etc, almost anything a new member needs to read and needs to feel at home. So can you explain why it is pretty common to do it this way?

I use ie7 on my lappie and 8 on my desktop. Firefox gives me the same prob. Cookiesetings are ok, coz otherwise I should have probs on other sites too. Clearing cache etc does not resolve it. It is not a problem for me, but just mention it to clear out the possabilaty if it is the board or not.

I vistit this board the past 3 days and every day I must login again while I did have 'remember me' activated. Is this board standard? I do not have this problem on any othet boards I own and visit (and that are allot)

Yup, was here, but totaly forgotten to re-register. So here I am again, juster is the name. Am not planning to get rid of my vb licenses, but for now there will no new ones. And since I like IPB since it evolved, let's see where we go from here. First checking out what that new feature is you have got here!
