Pardon the dust

I’m still working on properly integrating these forums (phpBB) into the rest of our site. I would have gone with Simple Machines Forum (SMF), but their Twitter/Facebook login system still required a username and password, which seemed pointless.

So as you start posting, let me know if you run across any blatant layout issues. I’m still cleaning and styling with phpBB’s archaic system.

Very nice job so far 😀

It is a little weird how you have to click through multiple folders in the Episode part of the forum. It might just be because there aren’t any threads there. I don’t know.

Thanks for the forum. Looks great.

On the forum front page, you can see most of the episode subforums. Can you show me an example of something you think would be better?

Oh i don’t know. I am not trying to be all complainy it was just a lot of clicking and loading and it made me confused about what to click on at one point. Maybe if you don’t have a separate spoiler folder under each episode and instead just put spoiler in the thread heading then it would be one less folders down. And maybe assumed spoilers in each episode thread ahead of the air date or something, so you could just put spoiler in the episode heading and then remove it after it airs if that makes sense.

I totally understand! You’re not being “complainy.” I’m trying to be very conscious of ease and accessibility with our forum. As much as I don’t like phpBB (the software running this forum) from an administrator’s perspective, it offers some of the most-important features to make this forum easier for the visitors.

I can add the Spoilers subforum as a link under each episode’s main link. This would remove one click. But I’d rather not have sister forums for spoilers as this starts to get disorganized and lacks hierarchy (my spelling nemesis).
