Hi all! Another quick poll that will only take a few seconds of your time. I don't get to see who voted how, so no worries there -- I just want to get an idea of how different people are using the forums. Choose the most appropriate answer for how you use the forums now.

As always, feel free to make other comments below or send a private message to voice your opinions about the future development of the Fansite! Thanks again for your continuing input and ongoing investment in this website!

One brief comment...this is kind of silly, but I miss being able to just click on recent posts and get to the ones that were still "new" for me. Yes, it still works and is now a pull down menu with more options...but it's an extra motion. Just thought I'd put that out there in case others feel the same way. I can see that the extra functionality is nice and if even one person uses it, it should stay.

I'm pretty sure this is on Tigger's list....

and if not, it will be! It's not a trivial thing ! I agree - it was very useful. I loved the Recent Tab in our old system and I miss it as well. We'll be reassessing the nav bar when new features start going in, along with a new menu on the left. Some things will come off the blue nav bar and will make way for new/revived items. We're also looking at trying to get a static search working so that the Recent doesn't time out. THAT's irritating!

How? I was able to select only one option. Subsequent attempts to display the Voting page don't work--I can see only the Results page.

Well...this poll was initiated way back in March of last year. We have since migrated to new forum software (November 15th, 2006) and then this poll was revived. I should probably close it and start a new one, but for now I'll edit the above.

Thanks for catching that! I hadn't noticed since I didn't vote... You can also provide commentary if you'd like, or of course, you can always PM me or Tigger personally if you have comments you'd rather not make publicly.

Oh no, it's not that! I just wanted to select multiple responses.

Well, you can add them down here! They will be duly noted, I promise! That is, if you're comfortable revealing your surfing methods publicly. I'll see if I can edit the poll and change the option...

Thread Closed - New Poll begun

Due to changes in forum software since this poll was originally posted, the options available before, namely multiple selections are not available to this poll. I have started a new poll with more relevant selections to the current forums and the option to select multiple choices.

Here's the new poll.

Thanks again for the heads up, Techscribe!
