I was wondering which software did you prefered, feature wise and not skin wise? Personally i prefer Zetaboards because the skinning system is more customisable, it has much better and easier to use Moderator abilities and some more features. Only thing I don't like is when I want to go to the Admin CP, instead of opening a new tab automatically it opens it into the current tab. It can be annoying if I need to edit something on the board and test.

I know not everyone signed up on the temp board but I was wondering what the current members thought? Because when the old board is back up we may switch to Zetaboards. Please note that no posts will be lost in the process

I really like the way zeta boards look, and it seems as if there are a couple more options on zetaboards than invisionfree and it is just as easy to navigate. That's my oppinon anyways.

I definitley have to agree with everyone else about the smileys though, I like the old ones over zetaboards default smileys. :p

well, technically we're supposed to keep the old smileys, but i think zb upgrade will wipe them out, so I may have to readd them again

I think we should go with Zetaboards it just seems nicer and A new look will be nice for omnimaga.

I with DJ on the ACP thing, it can be a tad bit annoying. I think we need to skin Zetaboards up nicely and how it really looks.

JonimusPrime · « **Reply #5 on:** January 06, 2008, 11:52:00 pm »

Well all your really have to do is remeber to right click it when you want to go there and I'm sure there is a way to change it once we get more aquainted to zb.

I agree, I am very interested in seeing how skins look on it .

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #7 on:** January 07, 2008, 01:36:00 am »

We will go back to the old skin. However I may be changing some minor stuff. DJ Omnimaga makes sure to shun IE6 users first tho

The old invisionfree default is too blocky. The new zetaboards default is too bulky...
From what I've seen of zetaboards though, it has better options. I just need to learn how to navigate them all again.

What i noticed so far is that it seems slower than when we were on Invisionfree, but i think that's because a lot of people are rushing to make Zetaboards forums to try it out so there's an overload of traffic on the server. On top of that I think that it's hosted on the first invisionfree server ever, which have the main support boards, so it's an old computer with probably a much slower processor

where did my post go?

But, I dislike the way Zetaboards handles posting when you aren't logged in.

Edit: Found it, but it was in a different thread... wtf...

Here it is

The only thing that really annoys me about zeta(asides from the theme/smileys) is the way it handles replies when you are not logged in. Instead of presenting a login box, it posts,

Code: [Select]

Error:
You do not have permission to reply to a topic in this forum.
Error Code: 12004:4612

yeah as posted in another thread i dont like this either

I hope they change it.

Netham45 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 07, 2008, 07:35:00 pm »

well, the weird thing is I pasted it in here, and somehow it was in the future of Omnimaga thread...

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #13 on:** January 07, 2008, 08:38:00 pm »

strange.

I guess the upgrade will wait a little while if the board is back up fast

i like zetaboard's features, though I wish we could still get skins. oh well, not much you can do about it for now.
