Mods are normal people, they work etc like the rest of us, and therefore would have limited time. So I wouldn't be critical of moderators.

But they do take on a responsibility when they become a moderator.

Originally posted by Macca-wx: Originally posted by bigwilly: [b] The comments re events threads getting cluttered, as Matt has said is a valid point. However over the last few years the concept of chatter in BWU and quality posts in BR really hasn't worked that well. I often like to check out the photos from other states and on nearly every occasion I recall having to go through both BR and BWU thread to see them. As such it effectively doubles the 'work' required to find photos and short reports. ANd this problem stems from lack of proper moderation. I've seen quite a lot lately where people are posting photos/chase reports in both BW and BR and nothing is done about it...moderators need to and should be more stringent on this sort of behavior or else it gets out of hand.
Macca [/b]Oh, please. :rolleyes: Homer

Exactly. The changes WILL happen for the start up of the new forum, but it doesn't mean they are set in stone. If the new setup causes issues, then of course we will re-visit the changes to see if further improvement can be made.

Print is far too small for comfortable reading with some associated eye strain and quite tiring to read for an extended period. The rest I will no doubt get use to once I figure out how to navigate my way around again.

Hi guys All of this is being read through by Admin and will be worked on over the next few days I'm sure... There is meant to be a bigger upgrade of the UBB software coming out early in 2010 which will apparently make it a lot more asthetically pleasing (thank goodness  )

I've got a question myself; I was in the process of changing my public username, and I just needed now to shorten it to "Max Record". However, I can't find the option in either "Edit Profile" or "Edit Preferences" to do so? Am I not looking hard enough? (I hope not).

I like it. I think it's good there's some space on the right otherwise I think it would be overwhelming to have it cover the entire page, and I also find the font size comfortable to read.
