| 291962 | 2004-11-16 02:01:00 | Why the heck are we all so touchy these days? > I was only concerned about the bad language. This forum is riddled with it! Certainly not PG! If you want to appeal to your full range of readers you'll have to sort that out. > You will need more to fix the problems than a couple of volunteer mods and new software. i must say, Bruce, that I didn't expect such a tirade from you in responce to my comments. If I offended you, I'm sorry. The point I was trying to make was that it's people that are the problem here, not software. Although I agree that it would be nice to have a newer interface. Your own rules forbid the use of offensive language, yet you defend a moderator who uses it. How can the moderator then moderate such actions by others? You cite my topic pressf1.pcworld.co.nz as being particularly problematic, yet it removed the argument from the topic it was in and broke no rules. I started the topic to highlight my frustration to being attacked by another member... yet again. Perhaps people just don't like the truth! |

Im with Beet there;-). I'd like the usernames to be able to be taken over to the new forum, but i guess it would be no biggee having to reregister under the same name (for those of us who chose that option, if it were available). Post count isn't a big issue with me ;-), however for those of you with big counts it could be ;-). IMO I would be more concerned about keeping user "Names", i enjoy knowing the usernames/people that have become so familiar :-)..., some of us having the same names from the previous forum upgrade ;-) and in Beetles words:- > > "pf1 wouldnt be the same if some people changed their names." > hopefully the change does not lose the original essence of the place and the help, guidence and chuckles we have here. Ditto :-) |

You yourself, > with this ridiculous thread: > > pressf1.pcworld.co.nz > 53401 Hey I got offered 75 bucks to delete that thread and Potus..... Thanks guys for the couple of GMail invites - I'll email Bruce & Jen and we'll see what happens with the invitations! So, thanks to R.N, P.H, and D.R for the invites... I'm gonna let them sit tight for a bit :-) |

| 291965 | 2004-11-16 02:26:00 | I would like to see a signup system similar to that of Grisoft. You send them the registration form and they send you back a password. The ability to change the password to one easily remembered would be available. I have in mind that IDG could then restrict the signup to ISP email addresses - no Yahoo/Gmail/Hotmail addresses, and require full names in the registration form. Aliases such as beetle and chilling_silence would still be acceptable but full names and a paid email address would be an absolute requirement. (That is what I was going to discuss with you, Bruce - when I sent my email) |

| 291968 | 2004-11-16 05:12:00 | Note the difference between "You are the most stupid..." and "That is the most stupid...". All we really need is email address verification, but as has been pointed out, that may pose problems for users having trouble accessing their email in the first place. |

Most, if not all ISP's do have webmail available which can be used in the event of an local email problem. But would people think of this alternative option at the time? |

| 291971 | 2004-11-16 05:29:00 | Good point..... What are the main reasons for wanting Email Address Verification anyway? How hard is it go get *@domainname.cjb.net or the likes...... |
