This is a place for all of us and we want as many County fans as possible to use the board and get the most out of posting on here. The proboards platform gives us a load of flexibility/customisation tools that aren't available with boardhost. If you have any feedback, comments, suggestions etc as to how we could make this board better, please put them on this thread and we'll do our best to pick them up .

Good luck, hope people approach this with an open mind. I think this is a far better format and have been on YB for 15 years.

Please don’t mess with this board. It is in a far better format than Marions Board which recently looked good with the collapsible threads. If left, in time, all posters and users would have got used to the new format and liked it.
Folk do not like change but they all get used to it in the long run and think of this. Had Marions board started in the new format no one would have complained.

Leave this board alone Yeah, should qualify my statement that not every single request can or will be accommodated and this format is here to stay on this board. Was more any look and feel tweaks I was after.

If there is a way to have avatars turned off by default, I’d investigate that.
I genuinely feel that’s the thing that puts most people off modern forums when they’ve been used to old fashioned ones for a long time judging by a couple of other boards I use that had similar issues.

If you go into the settings tab on desktop view, you can hide them altogether (both having one yourself, and viewing other people’s). You can also change the theme to either yellow or back to the light blue one, which to be honest is preferable for me when in work etc!

Other thing to consider is that lots of forums have separate folders for things like:
Live game chat Non County football Off topic generic Off topic - politics / religion etc.
Might solve the perennial ‘why I am getting Brexit / Corbyn threads on a County board’ issue, although personally, I enjoy the mix of topics, and splitting boards just adds extra clicks as far as I’m concerned, so would just stick with a single folder.

We originally did have a non-County section on here and it’s something I’m in favour of. But will see how it goes, definitely makes life easier for those who aren’t interested in the politics stuff as that’s mainly what non-County is.

My concern is that this forum isn’t busy enough to warrant that.. Was always my biggest negative of moving to somewhere like this where you end up with about 10 forums for every different topic. Baby steps though, maybe if it takes off it may work. Just having thread names should hopefully clear that up?

A few other things that will no doubt get asked.
The number of stars under your name corresponds to how many posts you've made. Once you hit a certain number, you get bumped up to two stars, then three, then four etc.
That's the same with the GT Law, Scandia etc. GT Law is the lowest rank, obviously. Keep posting to unlock the next tiers and see what you can get.

Good to be back on here! Personally I prefer the thread content the other way round, that is the latest posts on top of the first page , rather than the bottom of the last page. Saves a lot of scrolling. Just a suggestion and I'm sure many will disagree.
Either way, I really hope people take to this board, it's a huge improvement!
