Yeah, the place looks different. Is it better this way? I thought at first that choosing the format that fully displayed all messages would make this place more free-flowing, but I think it made confusing in the thread department. We can keep it like this, go back to the way it was, or use another option, such as fully displaying the first post in each thread (and then having re:plies listed under it, in the way that they are now).
BTW I'm sorry about how the current change makes our original replies seem all broken up, now that we can see the subject lines more clearly as separate threads.
The way the threads are listed can be reversed, so the newest ones will be on top (like 'home') rather than ending up on the bottom of the list.
I removed the Preview option, so now you don't have to approve your own post before actually sending.
There's a whole other option I was thinking of, and that would be to ditch this site and start a new place with EZboard. Their forums are simpler to set up and use. They also offer more modern tools and emoticons and stuff. (BTW I don't think we can use hyperlinks here, but I'll investigate further).
It may sound weird, but the main reason I didn't go with EZboard is that there's already a (popular) Chris Cornell site there, the one that's mostly for women, and I didn't want to cause confusion between that and our site.
Now for another matter. In the cc.com thread in audiolave.com's Question category, Willywalter said that if we posted a thread on Audioslaved.com directing lost cc fans to the as.com thread he would make sure it would be seen there. I'm not registered there, so if anyone is, it would be good if you could post there (meaning the Slaved site). I think someone could post in the main section of the as.com site too, at least to direct our missing members to the Question category so they can find us there.
Did that make sense at all?
Currently I don't want to post the url of this forum publicly. I'd like it more solidified first.
Let me know your opinions about all or some of this stuff.
'k?

>I do like the format at ezboard, but I can understand what you mean about the competition with the girlie forum. Here's something to think about when you type in Chris Cornell in the yahoo search engine the girlie forum does come up, so if you want people to find this place......... I don't know why this one didn't.
I'm not registered either at audioslaved.
I just wish the old forum was back, not to undermine your effort, I do appreciate it. I just miss alot of people and the daily interraction. I guess I will have to come to terms with retiring my post count, eventhough I just begun.It's weird because I never posted at a forum before and I just happened to there oneday and I've done it ever since. I didn't know why, but later on when I learned more about the people there I found mostly everyone was my peer group so that may be one reason. I also like to chat, I'm a chatty kathy.
I also think we should start to get the word out that you started this place and where it is.

Believe me, I wish the old forum was back too!

Thanks tg!
I couldn't figure out why we couldn't create links, seeing that our messages were set up to use HTML. I learned that they use a different code than we're used to from the motherboard.
This is a cut 'n paste from their instructions, with a little change. I substituted brackets in the examples for what you'll have to use yourself. Where you see a bracket like this ] on the ends, use this keystroke (that I don't know the name of) instead >
When you see this bracket at the beginnings [ use this pointy thing instead <.
-----------------------
to make a clickable link, use an [A]tag (anchor tag) anywhere you wish the link to be placed, like:
[A href="url_here"]Click here to visit my URL[/A].
Please note that you must close the [A] with a closing [/A]. (The text "Click here..." can be replaced with any text you wish to be clickable -- you may even place an IMG tag there to have a clickable image.)
* E-mail links: An e-mail link is just like a normal link, but the URL is different. A URL to send an e-mail looks like:
mailto:user@address.com.
Thus, a link to send mail looks something like this:
[A href="mailto:user@address.com"]E-mail me[/A].
----------------
bold by using [Bt]ext[/B], italics [I]text[/I]
----------------
If anyone is up to experimenting, it'll be nice to see if this works.
ps-- we now can put little crappy emoticons by our subjects.

And I meant to add, I love the new title of the place, too.
"for unofficial fans"
Brilliant!

Thanks for the compliments guys! *basks*
tg:
"when you type in Chris Cornell in the yahoo search engine the girlie forum does come up, so if you want people to find this place......... I don't know why this one didn't."
I don't really know how that works. I'm not schooled in search engine optimization. It could have something to do with how many hits a site gets. Keywords are also involved.
I realized the words "Chris Cornell" and "fan forum" aren't really prominent here, even though this is, in a roundabout way a Chris Cornell fan forum.
Maybe using phrases like those above will eventually get us to show up on search engines... if someone happens to do a search for "Chris Cornell fan forum", say ;)

Do we REALLY want people to find this place? There definitely are others I'd want to tell about it, and I probably will if thats cool, but do we want people stumbling in off the street?
(I sound like some old lady who wants to keep the kids off her lawn)

Yeah, I do agree with you but, that old lady carries a pretty big stick. LOL Not saying we should beat the kiddies, but we can you know, with our lazer vision.

Right you are about it being regular HTML, Stilly! This forum might actually push me to learn it, though I don't take too well to things that actually take effort.
Speaking of which, I want to thank TG for encouraging me and giving me the moral support to start this site in the first place.
Leo, I hear what you're saying, and I have the same trepidations. TG can tell you I've been stalling on 'going public' from the start. (meaning putting links on relevant sites... I'm not really worried about search engines). The main rationale is that I'd like to make sure the site is functioning decently before its public debut. I also felt that it would better if it had a solid base of cc.com regulars before opening the doors to random people.
Definitely tell others about it! Right now we are counting on word of mouth.
Pretty soon though, we can start putting links on AS sites etc.
The purpose of the forum is to provide a place (of our own) for displaced cc.com-ers to meet up and carry on, at least until we get our home back. A lot of our friends are probably still wandering around in the dark. Maybe this will be a way to help them find us.

You're Welcome! :-)
I hope people do spread the word.
I am starting to get a little worried about the "new" forum and I'm starting to think "they" are tricking us and we are not getting one back. Is this crazy?
