I think it looks much better now, don't you think? It's not quite as short as only 5 boards, but I think it is a big improvement.

I strongly agree.

So, here''s the plan to remove all superfluous boards:

1) Remove Fighting/Martial Arts board (this can easily fit into the Sports/Fitness board)
2) Remove the whole Pharmacology category (smart drugs and anti-aging can fit into the Learning, Memory, Focus board)
3) Remove Supplements board and Herbs & Beverages board (this fits into Food/Diet board)

I'm considering keeping the Research & Technology category - perhaps getting rid of some boards for now, but this category is very important for longevity for sure.

Hi.

Recently, Nao brought to my attention that my website may seem like a scam site to an outside observer on first glance. For that reason, I have removed the Performance-Enhancing Drugs board, which on second thought was an unnecessary board to begin with.

My website is a longevity forum. Whether you are interested in the topic of longevity or not is beside the point. What I'm asking is how to improve or change the forum to reflect the topic of longevity. This is a brand new forum that I created, so what you will be seeing is what I roughly outlined in a day:  http://longevityforum.com/

The vision I have for it: People not only discuss topics on longevity, but can also log their workouts, martial arts or sports training, diets, etc.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

That's an interesting observation, and I appreciate the input. I only just recently created the website, so any feedback is appreciated.

Do you understand the idea behind it, though? I want to create something akin to http://www.longecity.org/forum/

I certainly don't want it to look like a spam site, but I did want to add the pharmacology discussion board for the purpose of discussing how to optimize performance for sports and mental tasks (steroids are not what I meant). What do you recommend? Perhaps I should remove that "performance-enhancing drugs" section, and just keep the fitness, martial arts, sports, brain health, and technology boards?

Concerning the "collection of spam articles," I'm not sure what you're talking about. Can you be more specific?

Again, I appreciate any input from anyone on this forum, as this site has been roughly outlined in a day, and not changed since. My forum: http://longevityforum.com/

Odd? Yeah, most definitely. The inner circle board will be made private to only few members who understand the oddity. The rest (weight training, genetic engineering, nutrition, technology, etc.) will be made available to the masses.

Thanks, but in the long term, this needs to be fixed. So, hopefully this bug report can help in the development process.

Archived fixes / Firefox and IE image overlap
« on May 24th, 2014, 04:17 AM »
Hey guys,

I usually use Google Chrome, so this hasn't been a problem .. but just today I checked my forum using Firefox and later IE, and what I found was that the image overlaps. Check it out for yourself using your Firefox or IE browser: http://longevityforum.com/blog/

How can this be fixed?

Thanks,

Robert

Support / Change Blurb on forum home page?
« on April 26th, 2014, 08:34 PM »
Is there an easier way to change the description on the front page, rather than messing with the code? I'm talking about:
Quote
This is us.
This forum is running Wedge, a forum-building platform written in PHP 5. In order to change this blurb, you can clone the following files: core/app/Home.php, core/html/Home.template.php, core/languages/Home.*.php. Give them a different prefix, such as MyHome. Apply your modifications to these new files, upload them, and tell Wedge to point its index page to MyHome (default_index in the settings table).
While this may seem complicated, this allows you to provide multiple translations for your blurb, and safely modify your files without seeing them overwritten by a Wedge update.
Help is appreciated. :cool:

I disabled Ajax quick reply, and it works now. It was definitely that plugin that was messing things up.

Plugin Support / Problems with loading when modifying post
« on April 23rd, 2014, 07:20 AM »
Hi guys,

I set up wedge for the first time today and everything works great, except when I modify a post. The problem is that after I click "save", a "loading" box appears, and it doesn't stop. It continues to say "loading." So when I finally go back and refresh the post, it seems to have modified anyway...but this is annoying and shouldn't be happening.

I noticed that this sometimes happens when simply posting something or replying, but mostly when I modify something.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This forum is awesome and I thank you for the hard work.
