Hi Lee

The general consensus (to which I concur) seems to be very positive which much give you and the team a great sense of satisfaction - Well done!

It certainly does! Everyone who was part of the upgrade breathed a collective sigh of relief when the positive reviews started rolling in. Thank you to everyone for their comments.

As mentioned, we'll be launching the new forum in it's 'old' clothes shortly - then it'll get the makeover once we're happy with it.

All we look for is constant improvement - and it's the sponsors and paying members who fund this, so thank you to you all. YOU made this possible!

You really don't hang around do you Keith?

Can anyone think of any other website that would respond so quickly to member's suggestions regarding the look of the site? Absolutely fantastic! Make sure Lee buys you a pint!

Cheers

Two categories immediately come to mind: Modern and Vintage!

These two categories have been added.

Keith Saunders:

In the MEDIA section (Press MEDIA button in the MENU above) there is now a new title called "FLASH YOUR B&O"

All registered members of ALL levels have permissions to upload pictures into this section.

Currently there is only ONE sub-section called "Members Pictures" but additional sections can be added perhaps by "Product Groups" or similar. Let me know everyones general view on what section by name should be added to "FLASH YOUR B&O"

Hi Keith,

I would vote for a gallery as well.

From my point of view something with sorting / filtering options like most viewed, most rated, highest score, newest addition would be perfect.

Just my 2 cents

Well I'll be blowed.....never clicked on the media or blog buttons before!!!!!!!

Shall spend the next few hours having a browse... initial impressions are that it (the media section) needs more catorgaristaion (if thats a proper word), maybe by product...I'll come back with a more informed view!

Cheers

Does the increase in server capacity mean we'll be able to have a gallery instead of having to keep referring to "Flash your B&O" ?

Nigel,

We have always had a media area, see the MEDIA button in the MENU above and I could setup an area in the Media area called "Flash your B&O" in just a few seconds if it were used.

Images are NOT stored in the SQL database, so actually we have lots of room for images, our limitation and cost on THIS FORUM is the SQL database and its associated cost.

The Wednesday Forum has been running on the Beoworld dedicated server since the beginning of the year and does not have such limitations or incremental costs.

If enough members would like this rather than the thread which will become slower the longer the thread gets, then I will add it.

Looks lovely and feels quicker let hope it speeds up the forum as it's always been the slowest site I visit

Well, after another refresh it works!

Looks very good indeed.

The new webpage looks very nice though I am disappointed with the product section and its photos. The product miniatures should not be resized in a strange manner (look at: http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=1275) and they should be clickable in order to see them full-sized.
