Chopping Subforum?

macdaddy · Post by **macdaddy** » 29 May 2005, 08:48

I just had this idea, the idea of a chopping subforum, instead of the one thread. A chopping subforum would be a lot neater, with all the comps and each chop having an INDIVDUAL thread, seeing as in the one Sticky we have now cars can get ignored easily.

Please respond.

it's a good idea, but subforums aren't avalible on this version of phpBB

wha? They arent? I dont suppose theyd upgrade for this.

i have some experiences with phpBB forums and yes you can't have subforums on this version of phpBB. and upgrading means a new portal system etc.

Then what about about a new forum about "Pictuning"

It would be a new forum in the "General Discussion" section

I think that there are enough creative threads...

Anyway vBulletin forums allow to do that

Yes, vBulletin is the ultimate board. But it's also $160

Maybe sometime later.

I think phpBB is more user-freindly compared to vBulletin. I find it easier to navigate things in phpBB, because I'm more used to it.

I think Vb is as easy as PhBB, i didnt know VB cost money though. Damn.

it costs around Â£80. lol.

But, this version of phpBB does allow sub forums. I have this version in my forum.
BUT, it's up to the admin if they want to add it...

IMO, everything you need is already set up thx to Bojan. Be happy with what you got

Post by **Bojan** » 29 May 2005, 18:09

I'm actually waiting for Olympus.

What is olmypus?? I'm not very good at all this website talk

macdaddy · Post by **macdaddy** » 30 May 2005, 09:50

so... on htis version of phpBB we can/cannot have subforums? Are we upgrading to "Olympus" soon?

Post by **Bojan** » 30 May 2005, 10:24

As soon as it's released.

Andre_online · Post by **Andre_online** » 30 May 2005, 11:05

I hope the forum will be as user-friendly as phpBB too!

macdaddy · Post by **macdaddy** » 30 May 2005, 12:22

does that mean we can have a Chopping Subforum when Olympus gets released ?

Post by **Bojan** » 30 May 2005, 13:23

Andre, Olympus is phpBB3.

macdaddy, we could as well have a subforum. There'll be a joint forum for this site, the juiced site and the gt4 site.

so that's the big surprise

It's just evolution: first step was to unify the user databases. It's pointless to have the same offtopic, games, hardware... boards here and on the other sites, so the logical step is to join everything.

macdaddy · Post by **macdaddy** » 31 May 2005, 10:42

I don't understand, does this mean there will eventually be a subforum for chops, or not?

Post by **Bojan** » 31 May 2005, 10:43

Not in this version of forum software.
In the new version it's possible.

Andre_online · Post by **Andre_online** » 31 May 2005, 11:03

BTW, just curious, why would we need a subforum?

because every art section turns into a chop section we want to prevent that.
