Obviously Lougan has updated IRB again. This is a forum to give him some feedback on his changes.
If there is something on IRB that you REALLY LIKE or are not too keen on, let us know here. Hopefully the staff and the One can answer all you questions, comments and concerns and make IRB a better place for everyone.

Thanks Adina,
Still working out the quirks. I feel like this version has alot to offer. For me I like the security. You can flag someone as a Spammer. You can vote up or down on posts you like or don't like. Improved "ignoring" of members. Better profile information.
Currently, I'm waiting on a new Community Content Management system that is going to roll out in the next few weeks. This will allow me to rebuild things like the home page and such, with out the need for 3rd party portal software thats buggy and takes forever to load. So please, bare with me. I'm doing my best to get everything straight.

Hell yes it was. I think there is a "new content" button though, that needs to be reset...its currently bringing up EVERYTHING as new for me.

to reset new content, go to the bottom of the page and click "Mark Board As Read"
The last version of IRB didn't have something like that... i had to build it into the system, it never really worked right.

the active posts linking is odd
first time you click it seems to take you to the first post in the thread, but if you click back, and then click the thread again, it will go to the last post.
can you define how exactly its supposed to work?
does "Icon" mean something?
just seems like a place holder

at the time, it was just a placeholder as I worked to get the group icons working again.
If you mark the entire board as read at the bottom left of the screen, it should fix the problem from now on. When I rebuilt the cache of the website, it reset everyone's cookies. The old system did take you to the last post. The new system actually takes you to the last post you actually saw. So you won't have to read backwards...
for instance, if you last saw a topic when it was on page 5, and it has progressed to page 8 the next time you come to IRB, when you click the topic in New Content you will be taken to page 6 to see the posts you missed. Its a much smarter system once your cookies are reset.

Added new features...
1. New homepage Forum Cloud.
2. New Announcement System
3. Re-installed IRB Chat - Now works within the forums
4. Updated the Reputation System
5. Increased the size of avatars to 200x200 (I did this because, larger avatars look nice with the new layout)
6. Added Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn, and Twitter to the Contact Information in your Profile
Still haven't worked out the Facebook Connect System
- This integrates facebook with IRB. If you make a status, profile, avatar change on IRB, it will change on Facebook as well (and vice versa)
- I don't know how much I like this feature... its alot of work... and I dont know if you guys would use it or not... any thoughts?

I personally could care less for the Facebook thing. Facebook is Facebook, IRB is IRB. I really have no need to combine them.
Why does the home page keep asking me to sign in when I'm already signed in?
If it needs to do that, can it do it SMALLER?

I'm a little un-keen with the size of the postings - with all the extra crap, I can only see one post at a time (1440 x 900 resolution)
even without signatures, the big pictures, the icons, posts just take up space.
are there more minimalist skins/themes?

not quite yet. This system uses a whole new skinning theme, and so far there are only about 6 available. All of which suck. I doubt you want a Marines theme. But with this IRB, and it lacking in a portal, it will be MUCH MUCH easier to skin, so I should be able to have multiple skins to choose from...
Been a long time since I did that huh?
