yes, microbanners is funny. still, i like text sigs better, less to load, better to read, less wasted space.

Absolutely agree otherwise you get something like this:

Often you cannot see what image is showcase and what is only signature. It looks messy, non-professional and makes reading way harder.

Yeah, I agree. Even though I have a very fast internet connection and don't mind a few extra images, I still wouldn't want the forum to become slow and unreadable either.

I vote text sigs, definately.

i disagree, i would rather just enable a size limit, something like 20-50 x 100-200. I believe you can tell a lot about a persons dedication by the work they put in they're sig, and am designing one right now specially for the this reason.

I believe you can see that too by the way you mark up your text sig. If it looks nice and clean, it is just as good, and often reads better and faster than a complex render.

Then again, putting in a simple and good logo is probably the best. It get's annoying tho when one person posts alot of posts in one thread. Try pressing 'all' in the 'fun thread reloaded', Firo's shield is enhancing loading time quite alot :P

I have a suggestion conserning the forum link list. By now there is no link to the acknex resources, it's only in the bottom line of the forum. Please add a link to the link list on the left

When I login to the forum, I see where there are new posts. After I have looked at a new post and return to start the page, by clicking on Forums (top of the screen), all the forums are marked as read (no new posts).
Do I something wrong?

Thanks for answering my question.
For me this forum is unworkable, every time I have read a post and return to the board index all the posts are marked read and then I don't have any clue wich post I should read.
It maybe the same software, but the functionality is completely different.

Frits: This is true. I experience the same. I have to re-load the page to get an updated list of unread posts.
The old forum software was able to recognize the back-button as well.
