Pretty sure that last thread I started in the T&A thread crashed it

Great job guys. Does anyone know if we lost "view active topics"? That was the best part of the old software.
:1:
I actually found it. Go to quick links in the top left corner. One of the options is "active topics". This version of the board loads slower for me than the old one.

Saw it, thanks Jacob. Right now it seems slower when I hit the "submit" button to post something. Checking if its the forum or my POS work laptop.

Yup, it's inside the Quick Links menu.

Still tweaking the board and there's a couple of things we can do to improve performance. I figured it was better to turn the lights back on ASAP rather than wait until everything was fully optimized.

Is there a way to display the "view active topics" as a nested category once you select it? I'm thinking that instead of:
home> board> main topics> >main forum

We could have :
home> active topics

That way we can navigate back to active topics right out of a thread. :thumbsup:

I really like the notification for quotes. That's an improvement. Some of the sig pictures are crazy huge though.

I took a look at the phpBB support forum. Good Grief. Might as well have been reading in Greek. Thanks Andrew. There's some really sharp minds out there.

We all take for granted these forums. That they just work. They don't. Not without folks like Andrew.

I don't know who pays the bills around here but I would certainly help.

I heard those booty pics that Ben was posting crashed the forum. She did have some "back".

Oh and glad to be back. Thanks Drew and WuWu.

Also, in the future, you can us on FB or Twitter (dwcforum) if you need updates. I literally will never post to the twitter account unless the forum goes down.

I sent an email to a bunch of people with an update. But I did miss a few of them. :crybaby:
