| seems like it crashes some people's IE every once in a while.
also, i dunno if its possible, but is there a way to make the whole thing maximize to the size of the screen? it seems a little tiny to me.
just a minor request, though. its still pretty kickass | |

| Kudos, Craig! This is quite cool.
I think we all need to write down what we find buggy and annoying - in as much detail as possible (including browser/platform) as well as any enhancement requests, and forward them to Craig asap so he can work them in before it goes live.

| I agree with Zelda..
Another forum I occasionally frequent has a IRC room, but then again, if we all have IRC we could just assemble in "F101" on Effnet or something.

| Agreed with the lag...but the scrolling history is really short, and if we get a lot of people in there all at once that will become a big problem | ![KShan5[PrFC] is online now](images/fencing_net/statusicon/user_online.gif)

| My fear is that all discussions of tournaments will go to the live chat, which means that those of us who don't live online with f.net open in a window will miss out on the discussion. I don't want live chat to end up reducing content on the discussion board.  | |

| OK - The smilies are now broken (they worked yesterday), the lag is pretty bad (prob. extra processing power or bandwidth needed.)
I'll check into the scrolling history.
I suspect the lag is a server load issue, which means that it will continue to be bad until I move fencing.net to another faster/beefier server in the next month or so.

| Yay! Beefier server!
Just hope we don't have a week of downtime again...people barely survived the last one! | |

| Seemed as some of the lag/slowness was caused locally also - our own PC's ability to refresh. It was a pretty cool toy, but it does lack the permanance of the Thread Replies. You'd lose some valuable fencing information, but for Water Cooler stuff, it wouldn't matter too much!
One item, I think Latenight pointed it out too, is that the viewing screen needs to be maximized. With ten or so posters on at one time the current small screen would be scrolled through faster than we could read.
Very cool addition. Just what we asked for! | |
