Hey James, if this is the same set up as the one BigFooty (AFL) use (and I think it is) they have a yearly membership option that (amongst other things) gets rid of advertising for you on the forum completely.

I don't know if that'd be a viable thing here, but I'd happily pay a reasonable amount to not see advertising on CW.

Hey there, I don't visit their site but we are using the XenForo platform which is one of the leaders in the forum market. Many sites use it, and vBulletin isn't what it once was with their new versions.

It's very good of you to bring it up - it's perhaps something worth considering. In the 19 years the site has been around, I've never wanted to take $ from members though - the mission has always been to create a fun enjoyable place for cricket fans young & old to discuss cricket and to put the advertising revenue into building onto the site. I almost feel as though it would be unfair of me and the site, in general, to set something like this up now during the current world pandemic. Of course, happy to discuss further though.

Happy to hear suggestions for improvements.

James, can we try out some Xenforo theme that reduces the wasted space on both sides of the page layout? Also, dark blue page background (same shade as the old one used to be) instead of grey would be awesome, it would clearly delineate the gaps between posts. Thanks.

There are 169 styles available from XenForo that we could look to apply on the site:

Please feel free to offer up suggestions from that list.

How can one see their infraction points?

There should be a Warnings tab on your profile.

I've added a poll to the thread, XenForo doesn't have a PPP option by default which is by design, but it can be set for all through the admin panel.

I'll find out from support and post back.

One thing I didn't notice about the ads previously but I am encountering now is that they don't immediately pop on the page so I'll go to click on a link near the top of the page but the ad will appear in that space and i'll end up clicking the ad

I've noticed this too actually, and have a support ticket open.

This was actually happening to me on VB.

This is no good imo. Posters should be able to see their points as well. Is only fair.

Damn, not liking the poll results so far. Tried 40pp a while back and wasn't too keen on it tbh

 

[NotMcKenzie]

We could always compromise. And at any rate, 20 is better than 15


Edit: the best compromise, of course, is 40.

Posts should be editable forever imo

It does look good now. Mobile skin is really nice. The only missing functionality that I can see is the ability to get the list of posts by every user in a thread. Hopefully search function is better to compensate for that. Otherwise, it's all good.
