Re: LebGeeks V2: Suggestions

another small suggestion, make the css for the links different then normal text, so we can tell if certain words are links or not.

Re: LebGeeks V2: Suggestions

they are in fact different  the normal text is #333333 -- anyway I think V2 will have a new forum skin, still not sure about it. and perhaps 100% custom made.

Re: LebGeeks V2: Suggestions

V2 is not a forum-only update. it's a whole site one, i'm trying to make lebgeeks an interesting website rather than only a forum.

:lol:

yes, i  do know about invision power board forums, in fact they are not free (but there's a trial version that has some limits)

Can you get me the board headers for an arcade?

i have never worked with ipb forums so i don't know what you're talking about.

Re: LebGeeks V2: Suggestions

THEY ARE way better than phpbb. its more complicated than phpbb,
phpbb is good when you want a simple forum,
ipb is better if you want to customize it ,

OK so i ll try to ask you something else,
ok if i want to host an arcade pack( just like your pack of phpbb you donwloaded it into your computer).
OK so you downloaded it into your computer , what then?? how can you publish it?
Can you give me step by step?
I tried to publish it but it didn t work

Re: LebGeeks V2: Suggestions

I think there need to be a link from this page:

http://www.lebgeeks.com/forums/
to the main page:
http://www.lebgeeks.com/

everytime i want to go to the main page I have to erase the "forum" part in the url and press enter.

Normally, in most websites, when you press on the logo it takes you back to the home page. On this site when you click on the logo on the forum index, it just reloads the same page. That's not very normal.

Re: LebGeeks V2: Suggestions

@rolf: ok, i'll do it.
@habib: please create a topic in the coding section, i'll reply there.

THEY ARE way better than phpbb. its more complicated than phpbb,
phpbb is good when you want a simple forum,
ipb is better if you want to customize it

ipb is not free, and i won't use the trial version. most people prefer a clean, simple interface.
hm, the beauty of simplicity :)

Also,

THEY ARE way better than phpbb. its more complicated than phpbb

i don't think that's a convicing argument. (==>bold)
