opinions please
« on: May 04, 2011, 08:25:29 AM »
Our original site that Chris kindly organised is now pretty dated.
Many new developments like html5 and CSS have become the new coding to use to make websites modern and fast.

I want to discard the old site (it is basically our front page) and create a front page in the forum theme, so it looks more organised and together.

With this is mind, there is a new forum being developed and will be live soon.
We currently use SMF for our forum and the new one is called Wedge. Nothing will be lost and it should be seamless.

I will run both forums together for a while so we can all evaluate them side by side.
I am pretty sure the Wedge software is going to be my preferred platform - but it is up for all to imput.
I will let you all know when it is up and running, leave it for a while and then we can vote on which way to go.
Cheers
Nick

Whatever you do I am sure it will be great, thanks for all the input, the tech stuff  goes over my head I'm afraid. If it looks good then it gets my vote

Sorry - I've been out of the loop for a bit. Seeing the standard of the site, I'm sure we can trust Nick to come up with something that looks great.

Hi Karen,
Thanks for the vote  8)

An update -
SMF will go gold tomorrow - meaning major bugs are fixed, then Wedge will be fully refined and released in due course.
Within SMF there will be no major changes, the quiz might not work but that shouldnt bother most.

As for Wedge - the media gallery will be a better version and overall the forum will be very fast (not that is it slow now). I have to work on changing the colour to a more familiar blue base.

Cheers

Kaz,
Me too!!
There wont be a change to the site you see now...............unless you are geeky enough to notice that "Powered by SMF 2.0 RC4" has changed to "Powered by SMF 2.0"
When Wedge is cracking away I will let y'all know
:)

Update - the SMF upgrade to gold version 2.0 has developed a few bugs and will not be released for a few days.
