How exactly do we recognize someone?
Click "give kudos" when someone does something fun or cool

I don't see that option.  Can you direct me to it?

(asked in the most polite, completely appreciative manner possible) Is whatever caused the old boards to crash, been addressed for these new boards, so it doesn't happen again?

Yes.  the draconian anti spam measures are a start.  Crushing any spam that shows up is the other part.

It's post-dependent.

I like the new layout.
Too bright. Can't we ATLEAST get the old look as an option?

yeah, yeah they changed it so it sucks and all but bright enough it feels gleemax-ish

I know it isn't done yet but new boards feel disorganized.

Is this similar to Gameology "Fu" and will it eventually disappear again?  Personally, I liked GameFu.

Yes to the first, but you can't reduce peoples' scores.
"Recognition" and "Give Kudos" can be anything; I suggested "Internets". :P

Is it ok if we just copy past threads from the old boards? I'm loathe to lose all the psionics info before I even get a chance to read it all.

The link to the old boards that shows up at the top of the new boards, http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index, does not work.  Leave off the index, and it works: http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/.

Is there a reason why we can't reply to handbook threads?

Additionally, making handbooks its own board instead of having it as a 3.5 minmax sub-board was a good idea, as it will increase the rate at which I see other board content (as I had the MinMax forum bookmarked)

Is the Ask a Question board supposed to replace the Ask a Simple Question threads from the old min/max board?

In a word, yes.

I wouldn't mind the addition of 'top' & 'end' quick links add to each post.

Also, I think the boards are a little too white.

[quote author=Childe link=topic=21.msg407#msg407 date=1320628721]

I noticed that quote tags can create forum-only links.  Is is possible to set up signatures to be able to make links to other posts on the forum, but nothing else? 

I like being able to link handbooks in my sig.

Yes, we'll put that in.

I know this isn't a priority at all, but is this something that will be implemented soonish or eventually down the road?  I obviously came up with a workaround, but I'm a stickler for neatness.

Will the old boards eventually be deleted, or will they stay as view-only indefinitely?  Just curious in the case of threads that don't get ported over as I have a shitload of bookmarks from the old boards.

I have a 5 in Charisma and Diplomacy is a cross-class skill.  Hopefully I don't piss off too many people.

Which is the most appropriate board for posts trying out the die-roller to see what all it can and can't do?

I second this. Just need to know if I need to start saving web archives or not.

Would it be possible to remove the "Spoiler"-tag from titled spoilers. The "click to show/hide"-label already makes it quite obvious.

I'm what's staring back from the abyss.
How come you guys never wave?

Please send me a PM if you give me kudos. I'm interested in what I'm doing right.
