Friends, Cockleburrians:
Lefora, the company that hosts TheCocklebur, has implemented a new site design to provide many of the long-awaited site enhancements requested by The Cocklebur community since the launch of the new, improved Cocklebur in June.
You'll notice faster loading and easier page navigation (less scrolling!), quoting and better marking of unread content.
The Lefora team is still working out the bugs on many of the improvements and they are eager to hear feedback from our pro users.
Lefora chief Vincent Lauria said:
"Please let (the users) know that we'll be making tweaks here and there over the next two weeks. We're in active development on this and there could be a few hiccups over the next few days, but nothing major."
Among the known issues:
- It will say '0 posts' count for every user, we'll put the real number here very soon
- Older posts may display '?' instead of 'founder/admin/member' (we're fixing)
- Quoting is very much work in progress - feedback here would be helpful
- The permalink is likely to move around a bit as we play with the layout.
- The topic listing/category page will be the next to get some attention, currently it doesn't show the number of pages, but it will.
- We'll also be adding support for locking threads.
We hope that you will find the new forum experience much improved. We believe that Lefora is committed to continual enhancements that you'll love.
Let us know what you think!
God bless. Nick
Please don't let them win!
