dwarf Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 The thing is, everyone was bound to get touchy. I mean, it is a lifestyle choice.
Dyson Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I like it. Reminds me of the old times when I'd have to venture to Page 2 in any case.
dwarf Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Can't we just make page one bigger? That's pretty much what I was going to post, but forgot to.
Diageo Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Glad to help. I'm enjoying the new forum. I never entered the HWYD and any of those huge threads, but now there's little threads for me to contribute in.
Nolan Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I don't see the difference between having to scroll farther down to see the extra threads that would be included on page 1 over currently clicking on next or Page 2. I remember clicking through 3 or 4 pages a day (elsewhere not here) on a Dial-up connection.
jayseven Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 MURRAY: giant bowl = hyper bowl = hyperbole = look it up and understand that stuff :P Best thing about all this? If the MEET on saturday is at all awkward, we can just go "so how about dem locked topics, eh?" and BAM! We're set for another hour.
ReZourceman Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I love the feel since the overhaul, as though we've just been relaunched from Issue 1 under a new creative team, with loads of hype before the first issue goes on sale. I'm enjoying it. I feel like we all need our own personalised "I Am An Avenger" posters to concisely redefine our purpose in being here. This.

If the MEET on saturday is at all awkward, we can just go "so how about dem locked topics, eh?" and BAM! We're set for another hour. Oh there is a specific time allotted to this discussion, right after the Comedy Rainbow Q&A and Signing. -----------
MoogleViper Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Can't we just make page one bigger? IAlso if we're sticking with this thinking of upping the default threads per page number. Some people really should read the thread.
Ashley Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Some people really should read the thread. The whole thread? Think I've got nothing better to do? Besides, upping the limit along with other changes have been something I've been planning for a while. Then Odwin just jumps in and throws stuff around.
Daft Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 This has probably been asked but can we have the Post your purchase thread back? ...I don't think that'd be anti-new forum. I just bought some trainers I want to post to sate my need to show them off before they actually arrive (I used super cheap free delivery so that'll be a while...).
Charlie Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I don't see the difference between having to scroll farther down to see the extra threads that would be included on page 1 over currently clicking on next or Page 2. I remember clicking through 3 or 4 pages a day (elsewhere not here) on a Dial-up connection. People think that about Google too, but the harsh reality is that people very rarely click through to the 2nd page on Google. Scrolling further down the page is much easier than that extra click. I'm all for expanding the default number of threads on the first page.
EEVILMURRAY Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 MURRAY: giant bowl = hyper bowl = hyperbole = look it up and understand that stuff :P I know what you were trying to say.
Dan_Dare Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Begs the question then; why be a pedantic arse about it if you understood?
Mr_Odwin Posted July 23, 2010 Author Posted July 23, 2010 Begs the question then; why be a pedantic arse about it if you understood? It's almost like you've never read one of EEVILMURRAY's posts before.
EEVILMURRAY Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Begs the question then; why be a pedantic arse about it if you understood? Because I'm a curious guy.
Rummy Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 People think that about Google too, but the harsh reality is that people very rarely click through to the 2nd page on Google. Scrolling further down the page is much easier than that extra click. I'm all for expanding the default number of threads on the first page. A good point, but I think the difference between this and google is that there's more interest. You look at the first page, and there's a topic or two you posted in yesterday not on it, so you click to page 2 to see if anyone's posted in it or something. You also then get presented with a whole new page of topics, one which might catch your eye and you post in etc
Emasher Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 A good point, but I think the difference between this and google is that there's more interest.

Ashley Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Right okay to put in some form of official word in, or as good as we can get, these issues have been discussed and will be addressed in the coming weeks. We want to allow for some time for the 'dust to settle' and really get a feel of 'this style' before merging it with the old one. Unless Dan Dare does whatever the fuck he wants again... Anyway the things are: Higher number of threads per page (you can do this yourself anyway if you really want). Return of Post Your Purchases Return of User Image Gallery (although themed threads could be just as fun) Let's wait til early/mid August before we start clamouring for the old days.
Guy Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I like how this thread has more posts than any other thread on the forum. MAYBE WE NEED TO LOCK THIS ONE TO SPREAD THE CONTENT BUILDING UP IN HERE OUT TOO. I'm just being a dick. The thread lock has made the General board interesting again.
Beast Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 I used to live on the Rate The Last Movie You Saw thread, I used to love seeing what the other users thought of different movies. When will it be unlocked?
chairdriver Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 True story: I saw Shrek 4 today, and enjoyed more than I expected, and sauntered home and sat down to rate it. Remembered the Rate The Last Film Thread is closed, and was sad. Now a review will never be written, because it wasn't good enough for me to actually go out of my way to find a place to write about it.
