The new search feature brings me here:
Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occurred while executing SQL query on database.
Please contact the forum administrator.

Support Error Code:- err_SQLServer_get_search_results_data
File Name:- search_process.asp

Error details:-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Timeout expired
The advance search works fine.

Of course, certain points will be improved... but I'm navigating along the forums and I may see some new possibilities that are very interesting.
 
Great work, M@x... Smile

It will take folks a while to get used to the upgrade, but it looks like a postive improvement.
 
As M@x says, it also reduces the risk of hacking, which must be a good thing.

Oh, can I also suggest the "Active Topics" button be omni-present, just like before? I don't know about others, but I use heavily, almost indispensably.

My only whinge is the email notification subject line is now much too long
 
"Progressive Rock Forum by Progarchives.com Topic Reply Notification : "
 
is all redundant text and doesn't fit my Outlook subject field so I cannot see what topic the notification is for.
What?

I have no problems in using the forum the way I'm used to now - i.e. mainly browse from Active Topics, do an occasional search and so on. One thing would be great though, and that is adding a bit more contrast in the color settings. An example: I have to look quite hard to see that there's a lock in the bottom right of a thread icon - mainly due to the use of pale colours and maybe also the very white back ground Tony (glass_house) referred to.

Apart from that - no objections, only improvements.

EDIT: Oh and M@X, thanks for re-enabling full message search, do we get to keep it?

One small thing after all: I miss a link to my Buddy List in the private messenger. I used that a lot to see if people were actually online, now I can only select a destination for messages from the list. Please restore that link/button.

A couple of little comments:

It appears the link to read a member's reviews is gone from the profile page... Question
As for the drop-down list when clicking on "post options" or a member's name in a thread, it's always useful to be able to right-click those links and "open in a new tab." I use that function for sites all the time so that I don't have to keep clicking the "go back one page" button in my browser.

In any case, good work, M@X! I really like some of these new features Thumbs%20Up

post font size needs to be reduced. Or change font from Verdana back to Arial, which results in a smaller appearance at same size setting.

I still would like to see the Active Topics back... the forum looks cluttered currently, so it's not as easy to navigate.

Ok, just found it now in the forum hopme page... when you click in a most recent post in a forum you are directed to the first page of the topic not the current active page.

I believe it's something easy to be fixed.

The Recent Posts does work, but I like it at the bottom of the page where I don't have to click on anything (except the refresh button).
