Off Topic was not a bad name.
"The Sandbox" is stupid and cutesy like animated triangles in the inventory and rounded cornered pulsating progress bars.
I think my nickname for the Off Topic forum, "The Cesspool", would be much more recognizable to people and more approprate than "The Sandbox".

Is it just me, or do the subforums only partially roll up? =o.O=

Like, "Resident Conversation" will roll up to the "SL Rezmod" sub-sub-forum. "Content Creation" will roll all the way up as it has no sub-sub-forums. Is velly stlange. _____________________

Maybe there should be links to the Wiki's on the forum pages, since folks do go to the forums for help info, some of which is in the wiki's.

"~" is a sort of steampunk convention I've grown fond of... either that or valley girl--or both!--take your pick. 'Twas used to delineate thingamaroos easier during the reorg. Thingamaroos. Every day a new bit added to my lexicon! I will admit to feeling a pang of guilt when I first thought Off Topic was gone -- after the million-page thread on religion some of that Catholic/Jewish guilt must have rubbed off on me because I wondered if they got fed up with us! _____________________

Well, that was before... now they work... just they only work 'till the next set of sub-sub-forums. Like, "Resident Conversation" will roll up to the "SL Rezmod" sub-sub-forum. "Content Creation" will roll all the way up as it has no sub-sub-forums. Is velly stlange. *nods* Eggy asked about it too... appears to relate to this problem. Ugh. About the help tho, there'll be more changes.  _____________________

Okeydoke... about the collapsing forums... I did something else--it was crude (and now the collapse buttons show up on every forum), but it looks like it works better than before. Which means you can collapse the forums with the
 icons.Going to tuck my fuzzy wrench away and call it a night... gotta wake up and work. _____________________

It's a typical Linden mess, faffing about with something that did not need changing, whilst ignoring the many things that do need work. This is fast becoming the new "this will not end well" for feature discussions. Just need to agree on a common phrase so we are all in sync. _____________________

These forums are screaming for some color Torley, pleeeaasee
Maybe we can have each category be a different color shade. We can even incorporate the watermelon colors in there somewhere But more color please... ...pretty please? |

the thing i don't like is all the editing. all the history that was in the res mod forum was deleted. why? there were genuine issues in there and things changed because of those discussions. its just as much a part of the history of that forum as the thank you thread and frankly i think its a big disingenuous of you to leave the thank you thread and take out all the others.

Commentary:
Without reading all the posts in this thread, and just from a brief perusal of the new order and names, I think they make a lot more sense now. coco _____________________
