Forum software is a giant space waster and sucks


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

just want to express my dislike over the forum software. Bohemia Interactive (ArmA) btw. switched to the same one, which was a bad decision. This software wastes so much space. Their main goal seems to be: "How can we get as few information as possible on one screen".

Which is bad. E.g., for a healthy forum life it helps to have a quick overview over what is currently hot, what's currently happening.
Now this is http://www.hinterlandforums.com/index.php?/discover/unread/
But on my screen with 1200px height, it usually shows 4-5 subjects at once. Not good for getting an overview.

The forum software is bad. It's just eye candy. It's a trap.

Thx

I don't share the OP's opinion either, the new software looks much cleaner than the old one and it has some nice features the other didn't have. To little things bother me:

- web images are not shown if they don't end in a file name, like steam screenshots whose URL ends in a directory and not a filename
- no signature :(

Other than that it's a big step forward.
