Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Hobbes raises some interesting points over on the Humanities board about communities and discussion boards etc.
I'd like to elicit feedback from the rest of the community to see, How is Boards.ie doing in your view?
Too many forums? Too impersonal?
Or are we bang on the money and you couldnt do without your daily dose of boards?
We need to increase the size of the community a little I think and we are reorganising the front page (all reports from those that have seen it say YES just what we have been after, which is nice
)
We're thinking of really expanding the site a bit with some interesting ideas but its a while off yet.
Me? I like it, I like the little niches we have going like the books area and the music people, the tech crowd and a humour weirdos
Its funny to see us gamers actually building a community where the likes of Local and CuplaFocal have thrown millions at it and failed (imho).
What can we do better tho?

Well there is almost twenty new posters on the Half-Life boards now. After a brief stint with TV discussion , the film boards are pretty much the way they usually are. I for one have seen a lot of growth in the short time since I became a regular here around the beginning or March. Its funny to think how much has happened since then I do not see a great need for expansion. Make this place too well known and you will have a slighlty more difficult job of moderating the place obviously. Ah what do I know. you veteran regulars handle this one
So the pope puts down the Badger and leans over to me and says , 'At TFC my son , I 0wnz j00'. Before I could speak in walks Dustin Hoffman in a giant Silk Worm costume and just then...it started to get weird...0 -
Scince the humour boards have been set up, After hours has been almost dead
From what i can remember from when i was mod of the original humour board,
the humor, films, books, and music boards were all merged to make after hours, but now scince they all have their own boards again, very few people visit afterhours any more which I think is a shame, Im biased of course but thats just how i feel about it

hehe pretty much bang on Coyote
The new front page (coming REAL SOON NOW) retains freaks ridiculously good artwork but reorganises everything a little better.
Plus we have cut out or cut down some of the areas that were going to need a lot of maintenance.
I dont think we'd expand in terms of more boards but maybe in other interesting ways.
The only other boards I think you will see will be very specific topic boards.

Well, I think it's a shambles!!! I'm spending far too much time on these fúckin' boards and getting damn all work done!
I'm gonna sue Spin Solutions and Cloud Internet as a result!
Lads - I've gotta say, the site rocks - I need a fix nearly every 30 seconds
What could be changed...
The front pages (as they are) don't reflect the colour scheme for the bulletin boards). But, as you said above, you've got a new front page coming, so that's OK
Also as someone mentioned above, the little features you've got on that front page that don't really have any content behind them.
I think all the forums are relevant and some really good topical debates are had as well as the numerous good laughs! Let's try to keep it that way!
All the best,
Dav

my only complaint is that theres no more muppetry on the quake board. its gone really boring.
ffs, theres not even interesting topics there anymore
i do think that a browser irc thingy would be good, as lots of people cant get onto irc during the day, and at least we could keep in contact with a few people during the day in the 2 seconds free time we have.
no one ever seems to use the one on these oards here0 -

also a very small thing that doesn't really matter is the forwarding "thank you for posting" page. On the IR boards for example http://pub14.ezboard.com/birclanboards that page doesn't exist, and it is less annoying, because you don't have to count the number of times you press your back button on the browser when returning to the page you were at before you visited the boards in order to avoid double posting. Its probably there for a reason though, but i thought i'd just say that it annoys me 0
