I have zillion of suggestion but mainly (1 2 3 etc navigation should be showed directly in the name of topic to skip one loading of the frist part of thread... it's anoying.. I want to get to the end of the thread quicker...), or maybe more messages per thread allowed.. maybe (cookie) customizable ammount of messages displayed could be useful. bla bla bla.. I also think to have answers separated to tables would be great now you have to wait a long until whole big table loads.. it's not a wise way of html programming...

Man, you should visit some of the other forums on the web. This one is TERRIFIC. I've been trying to get help on website issues, and there are lots of people out there crying for help and getting NOTHING.
This one has GREAT graphics compared to most.
Plus, there are people here WHO WILL HELP YOU.
I say it isn't broken. Leave it alone. It works.
SINCERELY ,,,,,Tad
I love canadian people !!!

C'mon Eric, admit it, you're bored and don't have the energy to come up with a cool image so you decided to rag on the the Conference graphics.
AM I RIGHT?
There are a few things I would probably change, but not the graphics. As Tad says, if it ain;t broke, don't fix it. And had you been around in the pre-talkgraphics days, when the conferences were on i/us.com, and before Chris Dickman switched over to InfoPop, you sometimes had to wait for minutes for an image or message to post, and then the message and/or image would post three times, because you would get impatient and press the Send button again and again, hoping something would happen.
The page is clean and fresh. I like it. And if you haven't gone there, go to the
TalkGraphics Home Page I think those graphics and the interface rocks.
Just my 2 cents (non-Canadian dollars).

I don't see much wrong with this set up.
OK the forums are all set up the same.
I don't find it a bind waiting for
tables to load.
There are a lot worse out there. But
what do I know. I'm an Old Geezer, and
only just computer literate, not to mention
"just literate". Ask Garry!

"...Xara X (a British software) is also sold to Canadians and they contribute to this forum like anyone else..."
now What did I say too upset Jean-Guy? I simply thought that talkgraphics was a Canadian-based forum [hence all the Canadian members.] no more, no less. Whats wrong with people these days huh?
Yea Gary you're right I am on a creative block at the moment so I thought i would post a thought of mine. It certainly wasn't a dig at the excellent talkgraphics forum and *certainly not it's members!* I love you all

Nice animation, David! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img]
It's not the tables, it's what you put in them and, so long as the forum software keeps forcing reloads of everything you've seen before, people are going to get frustrated. Apart from that it's not too bad, except that the post timings in the forum indexes seem to have gone haywire tonight (has anyone else noticed?). [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Xara X (a British software) is sold to Canadians too and they contribute to this forum like anyone else. We all try to become better at using our favorite program and in doing so there are no British, Canadians etc but "Xarans".
As to the main question (facelift/makeover): As Tad says this forum is TERRIFIC (one has but to visit another to find that out). I think the content is good (its spirit) and I am little concerned if its material body (the practical application) is like this or like that.
You cannot access the forums on a public-access computer without flash installed if you go to www.talkgraphics.com (ie there are no text links). Public-access computers don't generally let you install or tinker with anything (so Flash couldn't be installed).
Of course I could have gone to www.talkgraphics.infopop.net and everything would have been puppy dog and roses, but I didn't think of it at the time (and how many of you would have thought to do that). I emailed webmaster@talkgraphics.com several months ago but no progress was made, so I just ignored it for the mean time.
Yes, Flash is installed in 95% of computers (or whatever the number is) but there are still 5% to account for, and the machine I was on just happened to be in that 5%. (If 5% seems insignigicant, the Macintosh install base is about 5%)
My favorite forum format is Delphi. It is really cool. You can have chat, and you really can get around a lot better in it. Couple of drawbacks, they don't have these cool emoticons.....and they are experimenting with premium services. I signed up for premium simply because I always think people who work hard and deliver a useful service deserve to be paid. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]
If you haven't already visited, go try it out. I have a couple of lame forums going...but you can search for forums of interest to you. If you don't find one, start your own.

Ain't life a kick?
We keep sending my English mother-in-law "over ome" but she keeps comin' back [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
[img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img] Oh, OH!... here she comes... RUNNN!
As for the forums?... I've got no complaints. Maybe there's some room for improvements in the structure but the content is Number 1. Thanks eh?
Should have said this before, but I third Dmagician and Marcus!

I'm on two other forums they give an option when you post a subject or reply to be notified by e-mail if someone responds to it. Things sometimes get heavy and fast around here and it's hard to keep up. The yellow light should show topics posted you haven't read, not posted since your last visit.
Oh, yeah I also vote to be able to pick which page of a long post to go to especially since most of them have lots of graphics.
