If you understand her criticism then please share it with us. And I'm not being sarcastic. I don't intend to go check out whatever stuff she thinks is better to figure out what she likes about them. However, if someone were to document something that they liked about them, and then propose such features here then it would be a different story. Although I will say that IMO its about time we figured out how to make the "first experience" a little nicer, without custom CSS/user settings the place does look a little crude. Which is something to keep in mind. Most of the people capable of changing the site already have it customized and thus might not even experience whatever it is that bothers you or the OP. --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]

I still use the site as is, no custom changes to CSS or anything, I didn't suffer that much, I guess. It's quite usable, although odd-looking at first. But so is any site; it's no use trying too hard because you can't please everybody. Cheers, Sören	[reply]

I think it was with good reason as do others (apparently). "cmon guyz - plz take a good board like the phpBB.com bulletin board. Your board has absolutely no usability " Not exactly polite. Not well thought out, just, "change sht". I don't think she would have had nearly any negative reaction if she had put some thought into her post and actually gave specifics of things that could be done better. A modicum of tact would have probably helped too. Maybe people reacted harshly, but that's just human nature. If I went over to nearby Dorchester and said, "Dorchester is lame, be like Southie!", I'd imagine I'd get a lot of jabs, the only difference it being fists instead of threads. update* Never mind the title, "super ugly & damned bad board" -Lee "To be civilized is to deny one's nature."

I believe the OP was brutalized without a good reason I believe OP got off easy considering how stupid their suggestion is that a canned piece of crap like phpBB replace our beloved Perlmonks. Considered (Tanktalus): reap - troll (heated debate, but this is excessive) Unconsidered (holli): Enough keep votes (Keep: 11, Edit: 0, Reap: 7)	[reply]

Well, the one good thing about phpBB is the BB-Code markup. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply]
