The forum's layout really does need altering

you can only see 3 threads at a time here

as shitty as .is is in every other way, they have it right with their layout

simple long rows of threads, to allow as many as possible to be seen, without the text being too small

many people have said that they find our layout overcomplicated

I did at first, but I learned it

As great as Sgt. Tovarishcel has done by making this place at all, it would be perfect if he could tweak the software a little bit, to include long rows of threads like .is have

Firstly, congratulations on joining the elite ranks of the red star club which now includes you and I for our continuous and consistent forum engagement and postmaxxing activities.

Secondly, we will discuss the viability of other forum management software programs at our HQ staff briefing tomorrow but I don't want to loose any of the excellent features that we have here in these forums at present (rank, ribbons, color coded user names, etc.). Also, when using a PC an Chrome, you can view far more than 3 threads at a time.

oh you did check out out

when you get on to the forum page, there is a category "recent posts" that has a row of just 3 threads

then as you scroll down, there are a load of sub sections

it would be great if there was just 1 long row of threads covering the whole page, with the most recent ones at the top, like there is on .is

then everyone's threads would be more seen and people would be more likely to wanna join

How do you know we wouldn't lose the other features? I don't know that much about phpBB and I don't think you do either. We will discuss this matter during our briefing tomorrow evening.

On the botom of the forum it has 5 RECENT TOPICS

I can increase from 3 to 5 or 10 but it will ruin the visual experience of the forum, as it will be take off half a page

the whole page should be one long row of threads

that's what makes .is so successful
