Guinea Pigs Required

Pussies in showers. My Tortoise.Instagram posts

Gotta be careful the new site will morph into a data theft free facebook

You’ll have the pleasure of my company at half time so I’ll be happy to walk you through it then.

Basically we’re looking at new forum sotfware and some brave souls have been testing it.

Feedback is positive so far .

  1. don’t know. Discourse does what Sotonians currently does. What do you think might go on such a home page?

  2. remember we’ve made no decision to move to Discourse, but no I’d like to think that we would get at least what we have now from moving to a new platform. The points system is still there but we would need to make a leaderboard more prominent.

You posted on Discouuse that you’d managed to get to the end of a thread (I think), does that mean you got this to work?

One thing that Discourse doesnt have which I feel would be very difficult to implement is the ability we have here to mention posters by a CHANGED NAME - a la @pap .

Have you all finished the testing yet or is it going to go on ad nauseam?

You know pap had already decided to change everything weeks ago…you are just pawns in his spoof game of “democratic choice”…it’s a fait accompli you suckers. :lou_facepalm_2:

Sounds like one of our board meeting, rubber stamping the decisions that have been already made. Change in always easier when you get the troops to think they were part of the decision.

Sorry should have made clear have tried the site on my work smartphone and my personal Microsoft dumbphone…

Well Bletch, I have simple but predictable tastes but some eye candy and beer related paraphernalia perhaps - catering for all tastes obvs?

To be honest I dunno, I’m not a website designer, but something to catch the eye and draw you in. Simple clear one click navigation to key areas of the site for starters?

I think something to rival everything Derby has to offer…something like this.

Woah! Wtf is that @lifeintheslowlane ?! Southampton needs one whatever it is…!

Oh @cobham-saint you’re so metrocentric dear chap…that is central Southampton…West Quay 2. :lou_facepalm_2:

Apart from some weird poster names it currently seems ok if a bit Lionel at the top of the page.

I love that photos of pussies in showers are easy to upload from your phone will make my Happy Golf thread an interweb sensation in September with exclusive stuff.

So yes from me but some cosmetic work for those used to fiverweb

Pray tell what’s wrong with Technofucktard as a user name?!

Discourse is more user friendly. Why work so hard making this platform better when you can move to a platform that offers so much more. Are there issues with it on a tech scale? @saintbletch mentioned a possible issue with losing the ability to give people subtle hints by changing their name.

I generally have about 20 pages on the go at any time, but even on my 5" screen i can see if there are new comments or replies, without having to open the Sotonians page.

Do it @pap

Makes a change from telling @undefined to “do one” @undefined
