@Trevor.

Trust me.  The Amiga community has been forced to use Xoops on all three of the "big" sites for so many years that most of you simply got overly comfortable with it.


You are probably right.  The more I use the site the more I am getting used to it.  Old dogs & new tricks perhaps?  One thing I'm not keen on though is the amiga.org retro style logo.  I know it's a blown up amiga font but it looks more akin to a retro 8-bit C64 than the revolutionary Amiga that replaced it. Again just MHO.

Yes, I think that the Amiga is capable and deserving of a better font than that.

I respect that, but can only offer "it is what it is"...

I'm sure in 8 years, you'll pretty much feel the same way about this one.


Well, I guess I should mentinon that I honestly do appreciate not only the work that's been done here but also simply having a place to visit as an AmigaMan.

@Trevor & JC

TV stations were using Amiga fonts that were 100x better than that Amiga.org logo in 1987.  We sold loads of JDK Video Titler+ back then.  LARGE 8/16 color fonts with proper antialiasing for supersmooth display.

The Amiga can display at least 30,000 fonts that are each 32x to 256x better than the new Amiga.org logo font.
Wanna try a wonderfull strategy game with lots of handdrawn anims,
Magic Spells and Monsters, Incredible playability and lastability,
English speech, etc. Total Chaos AGA

The font thing is settled by popular vote guys.  Sorry.  Give it a rest, that was the deal..

THe TImex Sinclair font looks odd with the hires logo, but it's your board, I can ignore it.

It browses well with Ibrowse 2.4.  I give it two thumbs up!

The more I look at this site, the more I like it. Great job. But please, add an option to choose between "avatar and user info in a row" and "avatar and user info in a little left column", because I always found the first one (that's the current unique choice) very annoying when reading messages one after the other. Thank you! =)

I noticed that now messages layout is exactly as I prefer. Thank you.

I have to admit, when the change first happened, my first reaction was "Oh crap! They've killed Amiga.org!", but as I get used to it, and as the admins tweak and improve it, it IS growing on me.

Keep up the good work.

Still most of this works with AWeb.

Is this a bug?

Good greif Wanye how do you deal with it all? If you paid some folks to come they'd still complain.

Good job, good work, and I know you'll keep tweeking to make the new place as comfortable as possible for all despite the moaning.

When I logged on today, it sort of looked like home again. Stopped me in my tracks. It's getting there Wayne, and I am sure I am not the only one who appreciates it.

To quote Emil from Robocop:

Seriously though, it's a work in progress. It's not the same server software. Quit b!tching about it.
