Off-topic / Re: I Can't Install SMF 2.1 Alpha
« on May 13th, 2013, 07:44 PM »Nope. Not sure why we would know, either.
I installed 2.1 Alpha as a spam test site here OK
I'm getting some actual spammer posts now, they even post on the correct board!

Off-topic / Advice on This?
« on May 13th, 2013, 07:34 PM »
I have this domain name I registered last year which I have installed social network gpl script (oxwall). Oxwall is great but there are multiples problems which includes.
1.There is no mobile theme for it, it looks ugly on mobile view though great on pc but the fact remains that about 80% of my targeted audience (students) are using mobile phone on accessing the internet.
2. There is no control on spam bots, even the question and answer script is not working, there inbuilt watchdog (using stop forum spam) is not working as well, I just visited their support forum and found out that almost everybody is complaining about it, this in particular will be a big problem will the website grow.
3. Their forum plugin is great but again it is showing multiple link in a single thread and Google is indexing them all which happens to be against their SEO rule.
My question is, is it good to uninstall the oxwall and use SMF for now and ( wedge when it comes public).
The website in question is

Thanks

The Pub / Re: Print Page

Google index it anyway, sometimes you will see it 'index on error' according to Google. Forum Print is of no use (at least to me). Any user than needs to print something should copy to text editor before printing.

This is not to speak for others but Print Page code is the first thing I removed from display.php in SMF, it is not doing anything other than creating another link for the thread which is against Google SEO procedure - creating multiple links for a single post.

I don't like opera for Windows, too slow (as a user) can become handy for users to temper your backend security settings (as a webmaster) especially if you are depending on java script for security.

From user experience, Ajax is highly user friendly. Imagine me typing and posting without reloading the page. Not everybody is from Uk and US. I am a Nigerian and many of forum users will always be marveled to see their post sent with just a couple 'turning element.Most of them like Facebook pages and post because it somehow fun to see how the like button rotates and show their likes. Not every body is a tech literate like you guys and something like ajax feature makes the rate the forum high.
Agreed, forum is mostly measure by the content but most content are made by users, anything that will make them post is always welcome.They will only post (especially in a new forum) if they feel the forum have quality.
Thanks for replying my posts, am now 'playing' with the big boys :)

The two forum you listed are very clean with a matching colour, that's not what I am trying to point out.Check how this guy is center aligning post link in his Message Index - nairaland.com/phonesQuote Digg 4.0Quote Then why is Xenforo better than Phpbb?
oh... and as for facebook... they are one of the worst examples to use about applying interface changes since they apparently are planned by drunk monkeys and don't even bother to do focus groups or even ask the users what they think.
(I also disagree on your statement that ajax is a must)

Off-topic / Most Big Boards are Ugly, Why?
« on May 8th, 2013, 05:02 PM »
I have been thinking about this for a very long time now. Why are big boards around always ugly and unwelcome environment to the users? IGN Boards recently changed to Xenforo, before that the user Interface was rubbish and the website theme itself was trash.Giaonline is another forum and get me thinking...meh! Lets not mention nairaland was a let down to SMF (as in theme) until it was recently rewritten with python. Still trash on PC but the Mobile theming is the best around. Why is it that big boards around are ugly and dirty?

@Dragooon
The same thing.
