Subforum reordering

[Grosseschnauzer]

I've reached the point in the forum reorganization process where some informal feedback would be helpful before I implement the second to last phase of the process.

(If you're wondering what the last phase is, it's assigning moderator groups to the reorganized forums, and adjustung permissions as needed.)

Well, as I grew up with the old look, I can't refrain from feeling a certain melancholy. But yes, looks, good and sensible.
Thanks for the work Grosse.
I love you.

 

[Grosseschnauzer]

the subforums have been reordered. If something doesn't look right, or if there are any suggestions, please post something here, or even better, send me a PM for faster attention.

The re-ordering looks fantstic. What is going on with the forum markers?

 

[Grosseschnauzer]

Don't know. I haven't touched those, but I did notice that they're hosted at photobucket. And I've had problems at other sites with photobucket-hosted images.

The marker for new posts is working though, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Sometimes those hosting sites purge their databses. The forums I admin, I have a graphics forum viewable to the admins only and I upload all of our forum graphics there that way we do not have issues like this.

I've had this problem in the past when I uses images hosted on photobucket or imageshack. Finally, someone told me to host them on the forum that I am using them for.

 

[Grosseschnauzer]

As Flem noted in a different thread, he's sent an email to Hersfold, who apparently is the owner of hte account that is hosting the images.

Meanwhile, the topic of this thread for is feedback on the reordering of the forums.
