[bear] Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I think there should be pinned topics in each forums telling people not to come trolling.. Much like in the mac os discussion forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main forum can be used for such topics, and if a need is shown an additional forum can be added." That kinds sucks, I know there might not be much call for it (an opera forum) but it does seem (maybe fairly or unfairly) like their's a bit of favouriteism (is that even a word?) towards firefox/mozilla on this board. IMO it just looks a bit bad when there are three or four major browsers (IE firefox & mozilla) and only three of them gets a forum. I don't expect an opera forum to get made as you have stated there isn't enough interest but it's still disapointing. Plus I suppose if you added an opera one you would get people asking for avant, MyIE2 (or whatever it's called now) and all the rest of the lesser known browsers.

Well technically MyIE2 (or whatever its called) and Avant are just frontends for IE. But thanks for the new board Neobond, the site is getting better everyday :D Edit: Spelling, bigger smiley.

Marshalus Veteran Posted July 15, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 15, 2004 Like I said, there is a general forum for that. We're always open to new forum ideas and if bangbang023 and I see enough Opera support and discussion threads then we'll request one be made. Well technically MyIE2 (or whatever its called) and Avant are just frontends for IE. I'm going to find out from the admins how they'd perfer we deal with that.

+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted July 15, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 15, 2004 I know they are frontends but some people don't see it that way. [person 1] Have you tried avant [person 2] No because thats just a frontend for IE and therefor still has the majority of security risks of IE [person 1] But why it's a different browser [person 2] No it's just has some additional features and graphics [person 1] Why? It's a different browser and so on I'm not saying all people here are like that not even the majority but there are some which just can't get it into their head that their favourite browser is just a frontend for IE. Like I said it would be good if there was an opera forum but what the hey if there is there is and if there's not there's not. It's all cool :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshalus Veteran Posted July 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 16, 2004 Per moderator decision, IE frontends such as MyIE and Avant will NOT go into Internet Explorer discussion, they are considered seperate browsers for our forums and should be discussed in the general web browser forum.
