I agree.
And the site sometime comes down for a whole day.
I mean whether I try in morning, afternoon, evening, night, it's always down. What's the problem??
Are they trying to upgrade to the new phpBB v2 ??

First congratulations to all members/mods/admins for the new Board :)
Its really looking nice but Very slow :(
All sites r opening very fast here but not this forum...

One suggestion also!
The Quick Reply is activated once we click on the "Quick Reply" button in any post. This is very irritating! The Quick Reply option should be activated by default, members should not be forced to click on the quick reply button to activate it!

The "click for quick reply" thing is so that you can:
1. Quote the message you're replying to, and
2. Get an RE: Subject line so that you know which post you're replying to even if you don't quote it.

We like the idea, but will consider changing it if too many people cry about it.

1) Please use diffrent color rather than red.it looks cheap ! !
2) Reduce Page size to save brandwith of bb users & time of dial-up users

First of all,

A Hearty Congratulations to the Digit Team for a new and improved look of the Digit Forums.

I would like to add that the Links and content (newly added) are a treat to see but regarding the colour that is being used for the Forum is a bit bright, rich and strain to the eyes. Please try to reduce the brightness of the color used.

The relaunch of the siggy section (signatures) in the posts are a welcome treat, but please make sure that users do not advertise and/or post images/flash icons/links in their siggies. It will spoil the look of each thread and will often distract the users from the original topic and there is no continuity in the threads. Siggies look good only with the text which adds a tinge of humour and defines a unique identity to every user.

Overall, the forum is really promising. Happy posting in the Forums. :)

Cheers n e-peace.....

As Vishal pointed out, requiring quick reply to click first on a post slightly defeats the purpose of a quick reply... Perhaps the quick reply button on each post can be changed to "Quote in Quick Reply" - ie, the quick reply form will be available directly for editing, and by clicking the Quote in Quick Reply button, one can automatically add the quote code in the post...

Secondly, I too feel that the color is too bright... The previous forum layout with bluish tones is much more easier on the eye...

Thirdly, out of curiosity, what is the status of reinstating the old mods and admins? Any talks going on within team digit and also between the mods and team digit?...

Other than that, I think things look good so far... Wishing team digit good luck with the new forum interface....

First of all, congrats to Digit for the new forum.

But..... why vBulletin yaar?? It consumes more bandwidth. I will run out of my BW before the month is half over. I prefer PHPBB :(
