Grangur Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hi there, I have a confession to make... I'm sorry. Truly sorry, but I've been to another bass forum. I know it's unforgivable. It's not as good as Basschat, of course. The user interface would indicate that they use the same software as BC, but they have a cool way that members can change their preferences for threads they follow. I've attached a picture of the screenshot. [attachment=195078:sbl-screen.jpg] Can we have that here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Preferences? You mean you don't have BC open at all times and read everything that gets posted? ...I'm only joking you'd have to be really sad to do that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit using the same basic forum software, there are many opportunities for sites to use customisation for specific needs (as does this site...). Seeing some functionality on another, similar, forum does not mean that it's automatically available for others. Customisation is expensive, and often a barrier to a smooth upgrade path, and is not a Good Idea, unless the needs are real and worth the grief. Not to say that this topic is of no utility; all suggestions are considered seriously. It's not always that simple, though. Just sayin'.

Grangur Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks Douglas (Dad). You have a good point there. I, as a meer punter, have no idea what scripting has gone on in the background. It's also true to say there are things on BC that work better than on... er.... the [i]other [/i]place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icastle Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 There are a lot of different versions of IPBoard software in use out there, not saying ours is old, but some parts of it rely on a dwarf with an abacus. We are getting dangerously close to rolling out a new version which is much slicker and uses two dwarves and an etch a sketch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That'll be the Mod's corner. I've been wondering what that odd smell was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
