As evil a reputation as popups have, I honestly really loved them on the old forum. They were the exception that proved the rule!
Whenever I logged in, or if I came to the site already logged in, a small popup told me I had a PM.
There was a link in the popup to your inbox so you could check it right then, or just close it and check later. I liked those.
Does the new forum coding allow that kind of stuff? And did any of you other guys like the popup notification too?
I’ve hinted at this before, but I will be super blunt!
Our new forum (and entire site) is a mess of weird, confusing programming that is not widely used and is not well suited to making special custom things like pop-up alerts. It is wildly frustrating and makes me and some of the other folks that deal with it want to scream.In short: (personal opinion only, does not represent the company) The software that runs the windstone site is stupid and smelly and I want to kick it. And I’m not even involved in the back-end stuff!

My art: featherdust.comWhy did you guys switch over to a new forum system if it’s “worse”?
I think one of the big advantages was allowing them to use a single platform for everything (and single sign on).
This all happened before my time, but to my understanding the forum and store used to require separate log-ins. Having things on the same platform allows for better consolidation of the two types of accounts and was supposed to make it easier. 🙂

Key word.. “supposed”

The intentions were good!
