    The OLD board was 100% better then this board.

    Yup. I pretty much stopped posting once we moved to this place. I still lurk very briefly every day, but no longer have any desire to hang out here.

    it was better cause it was FREE. this isn't a community its an elitist club for 10c members only. forums.pearljam.com was a community board. you hardly see any of the regulars from the old board. now any fan with a 10c membership can post and mostly its just whining or complaining bout the band and all. the threads on here(the porch) and the aet just flat out suck.

    One of my biggest pet peeves is when people write vague/misleading subject titles. Like "PJ playing the Spectrum!" and I get my hopes all up. Then you click inside and it's "Do you think PJ will play the Spectrum?"... Man that's annoying! Yes, please bring back the Hover feature

    some people forget that dr evil's dad invented the question mark for a reason. it is quite aggravating

    That feature isn't available w/ this software... I believe this is Joomla... there may be a plug in that does it but out of the box it doesn't have the capabilities.

    On a side note, we were really spoiled w/ that feature, it's not really common to see that on BBS's.


    This is drupal, but you were close!

    As far as the complainers - I'm sure if you wrote a PHP extension for the boards to incorporate this feature and provided a demo they might consider it.

    In the former version of "The Porch" you were able to put your cursor over a topic name and it revealed the starting topic with its entire text which was good for sorting out wether or not you would spend more time on topics who often didn´t make sense standing alone (like mine for example).

    Why has Ten Club "closed" this feature? Is it not possible with the "new" layout"?

    Am I the only one who want this feautre back?

    Thank the bloody lord someone pointed this out.

    I can agree with this one

    No, it's not Joomla! It's Drupal - check page source:
    "jQuery.extend(Drupal.settings, { "basePath": "/", "googleanalytics": ..."

    I miss this add-in too...






    UPSSSS... Sorry, my mistake. The main site is in Drupal, but the forum is in phpBB. Message Pit was in vBulletin...

  • The former bulletin board software was the popular and very commercially expensive [url=htp://www.vbulletin.com]vBulletin[/url]. It has tons of features but was bloated for large community use. They now are running on the the most popular and open source and free phpBB bulletin board software. phpBB is not that bloated and has standard bulletin board features but nothing like vBulletin. phpBB is made to handle larger communities in a optimized way. So it's not ha he feature is Turned OFF. It is not a feature at all now.

    Correct, Drupal has a bridge script to connect it and phpBB. Drupal is a CMS aka Content Management System.

    phpBB doesn't support extensions as of yet (It has a utilized hook system in place). A modification is required.

    Am i right?- phpBB modified by Przemo is larger and with more extensions. I know in the application EXISTS an extension to display posts - first and the last in a topic;)

    phpBB modified by Przemo based on phpBB 2.0.X script and not official. the 2.0.x branch was retired officially and is unsecure. This site uses phpB 3.0.x which is more stable and secure let alone more optimized and to current coding standards. phpB doesn't have an extension system at current. They are called modifications or MODS.

    Sure, You are right. Not extensions only mods.
    And because i don't know these things, only being curious ;) I just read n Przemo web site, he has 15-20% of phpBB3 modification...
    Thanks again for answer. I really like to know some stuff of IT

    Thanks so much John for your explanations. It helps just to know a little about it for us non tech people. Do you foresee any of these missed features becoming available in the future? :)

    The old board seemed to have many perks that this one lacks but I guess they are still working out the kinks :lol:



    agreed!
    i do hope, sometime, we do get some/most/all of em back? :mrgreen:


    and yes....an innocuous background choice!

    I kinda like the new board. But yes, there needs a few upgrades.
    The signature doesn't work, the ignore button doesn't work, and the free candy machine doesn't work! :|
