Two key points here, please let them not be confused as this thread grows. Issue #1: List all your 'dead' usernames here, hopefully this will soon be rectified. Issue #2: Besides the occasional coma and the eating of usernames, what other significant, bug-induced beefs do people have with the board. I don't want to get any hopes up, but I'm cautiously optimistic about the prospect of improvements at FSIC in the near term.

1. Ditto on the board slowdown(cable modem).2. Not a bug and I hate to bring it up but I really hate to wade through the first page of a 2 page topic. Can we get a page 1, 2 and 3 at the first page of a topic. 3. I'm lucky enough to have kept my name  IP: Logged |

Username: 3dp Email: 3dp@msn.comAs above, I'm not sure this is the place for it, but the ability (that I've seen on other boards) to go directly to later pages of large-response posts would be nice. Good Luck! I hope your optimism pays off. IP: Logged |

Ive always had this nickname.  When you add smileys to a post, then go back and edit, the board puts an extra space in before the smiley. IP: Logged |

Better to post it now than later, for all I know we may get one shot at this. I hope I can compile the beefs, usernames and suggestions (I like the flip-to-page idea too) and have it in one tidy package for the guy(s) who pay the bills. That way there's no excuse for inaction. Keep it coming! Werner ------------------ Werner Molders Abbeville Field: Dedicated to the SDOE Experience. IP: Logged |

Look in the upper left right under where is say to email this page to someone. If the thread is multiple pages long, it will say "This topic is 1 2 3 (however many pages long. Each of those numbers is a link to the next page). This has been there for as long as I can remember.... Check the thread on Favorite screenshots....IP: Logged |

Used to be Smokey.Board gets slow at times. Some boards have feature where you can go directly to the first unread message. I find this handy. www.bombs-away.net forum is a good example of this. IP: Logged |

The 'Biggles' name that so many sought has finaly bought the farm  I don't have any gripes with the page, suffice to say, pages that are covered with pictures usually take their time to load, just like any other place. Biggles

number 1 - old user name: hip63number 2 - how about a link column to the best (& most stable) SDOE sites, like they do over at SimHQ. Candites such as Simfiles (when they are back up), Tailslide's Site, Wings With Wires, Abbeville, Razer's site (when he gets his new server worked out...Rends aircraft page, the SDOE proper install pages & the new SDOE Factory would be good too! I think it would help old & NEW players alike find what the need to stay current with SDOE's add-ons & the On-Line Standard... my 2 cents anyway!

Lost name: BlacksheepMy other beef with this message board is that it is incredibly slow and I'm on cable! Sometimes I come here to read a post and end up leaving because it takes so long to load. P.S. Major hippie's idea about a link column is great. I had been thinking of something like that for a while and I'm glad you mentioned it. If a link column is added plaes add Archers website http://www.geocities.com/archersweb/sdoeinstall.htm I have given this link to many SDOE newbies and it has helped them get SDOE running properly. ------------------ Blacksheep 249th IAP [This message has been edited by Blacksheep01 (edited 01-19-2002).] IP: Logged |

Good point Hippie, I'll see what I can do about repatriating the front page. Just a further note about this - I'm not doing the changes myself, we're still working through Joel, but I got some encouraging signs from him recently and I'm trying to capitalize on the momentum. I'll leave it until Sunday for the regulars to report in with usernames, etc. I think that's fair. We can always have a followup list a couple weeks from now, I just want to make sure there is one clean list for Joel. If he is able to get the usernames back and take a look at the other stuff, then I'll submit a second list. About load times - I wouldn't expect any miracles, that may be a function of the server they're using for this board and let's face it, SDOE is a legacy product for these guys, not an asset they're going to through top drawer resources at.

My name is safe thanks to a trick I observed. Before this place goes silent it tends to loose count on the cookies that show the green lights on unread posts then I stay away from posting.Speed is an issue also but since I am always in a fight with my ISP on this subject I did not know where to lay the blame. P.S. on the subject of silent I can not reach simfiles. It could be caused by a DNS problem so if you can, could you post the IP address. Thanks BF IP: Logged |

I can keep this and would prefer that my new name be deleted, which was FlameTail. I have the same complaint as others, loads to slow and goes down all the time. I would like to think that someone cares and will fix this. It's the only place that seems to keep us coming back, good luck Werner  PSII  IP: Logged |

Jerry - it seems we both see FSIC the same way, because when you've commented on it being slow I've had the same, and I've noticed the same thing too, that its sped up recently. That makes me think it just has something to do with the server their using plus typical internet traffic delays.PSII - Thanks, I'll do my best for you guys. I want to see FSIC spruced up as much as the rest of you, there's a lot of history here. Werner ------------------ Werner Molders Abbeville Field: Dedicated to the SDOE Experience. IP: Logged |

Hi silas!  Ok, I've sent Joel a summary of what's written above. If you still have MIA usernames, feel free to post them. If Joel can get the first list worked out, I'll send him a follow up with any others that need fixing. I've also included a summary of our gripes/requests. When I hear something back I'll be sure to pass it on.  Cheers ------------------ Werner Molders Abbeville Field: Dedicated to the SDOE Experience. IP: Logged |
