Better than what was there before.
Would prefer a site that had all features of a modern forum but this is an improvement on the previous version of the site

We need a general talk forum badly. I set one up a while back under "other sports" but tiz hard to keep a good topic going on the one thread.

as always with these things it will take a while to get used to but then it will be fine. what we need now, though is better admin to 1) stop wind-up-merchants and 20 to allow genuine posts . Basically we need administrators with the intelligence to distinguish between proper debate and pure nonsence.

I agree with Yew Tree.

Why can't the main forum also have items of a general nature or of rugby or soccer. You could also have a filter system where you saw only GAA topics if you wanted.

I used be on An Fear Rua before it closed down and I came here and it was a great thing on that website to be able to chat to people about music, books, food, movies etc. It added a lot to the place especially at times of the year like this when the GAA is pretty dormant.

Can ye put a direct link to the other fora at the top of the other sports and elevenaside pages similar to the links on the main forum please?

Works elsewhere so why not here? Though at same time id prefer an upgrade to the forum even though this is just new and an upgrade to something like vBulletin® Version 4.2.3
Who would you have in mind to be a moderator "with the intelligence to distinguish between proper debate and pure nonsence"(sic)

You can discuss on this forum about music/books/food/movies just in one thread or if discussing sport in any thread you like.

It will take a while to get used to it. It's a pity that the latest posts is not on top of the page rather than scrolling through the posts to the bottom.

Is that much of an upgrade on Version 4.1.12 ?

I think the forum should be kept purely for GAA, rather than polluting it with other topics. If you want to discuss something else, go to the forums designed for that.

If you want to discuss something else, go to the forums designed for that.Why keep it just to a limited area of discussion? Yes its a GAA site but why shouldn't talk of all other topics be discussed here? Having other discussion doesn't impact on the GAA discussion? Why limit the forum in that way?

I do. But I don't think any of them run Version 4.2.3 of vBulletin, the latest one I'm sure I'm using is 4.1.12.

Hence my question.

The change has not improved it. It was perfectly all right the way it was.
