One thing I don't like is having to scroll back up to move to the next page - ought to be a prev/numbers/next set of buttons at the bottom of a page too.

When I scroll down the page the page selection buttons stick at the top of the window. When I use the buttons it takes me to a different page but doesn't scroll back to the top, but apparently not everyone has that problem. Strange. |

When I use the buttons it takes me to a different page but doesn't scroll back to the top, but apparently not everyone has that problem. Strange. These buttons are only shown until the last post is on your screen. Once the last post vanishes, the page selection bar disappears as well. I don't have that bug. When I click on either next or a specific page number, or even manually change the ?page=x parameter in the URL, I automatically get to the top of said new page. Maybe it's a JavaScript / NoScript issue and you need to allow it for a certain page? Edit: It works fine with Google Chrome, but I have the same bug with Firefox (either with or without NoScript). Edit 2: Has already been asked in the ProBoards support community. Seems to be an adblocker issue: support.proboards.com/thread/512576/auto-scrolling-when-navigating-threadEdit 3: Completely disabled Adblock Plus in Firefox and the bug disappears. Edit 4: Re-activated Adblock Plus and the bug re-appeared. |

I have now registered with both possible new forums so hopefully I won't lose touch with everyone from the old home once it closes. Thanks for sorting!

This all looks rather nice.
I'm here and ready to go.
Finally got the username I wanted after the nightmare of the previous home.

I like the idea of creating events to say what productions we are seeing so that there's a chance forum members can meet up.
Can I make the suggestion though that we make another thread to put these events in. We can even have sub threads for musicals, plays, regional and so on within it. Or perhaps location based sub-threads called West End, Fringe, Regional (with sub threads like Chichester, Stratford and so on). Or even sub threads for each long running musical that people are seeing
It's just that I can see a general chat topic for Kinky Boots in the musicals section, and an event for Kinky Boots that Burlybear has created.
Now I'm not saying this will happen, but just imagine if everyone started putting events for every performance of Kinky Boots they are seeing in the musical section.
Or every Wicked performance for that matter!!!

Or every Wicked performance for that matter!!! These threads are created automatically once you create a new calender entry. Unfortunately, both the title and the actual content of these posts can be chosen freely, so we might end up with a couple of different formats. I really like your proposal, but I'm not quite sure if (and how) that is feasible at all. Maybe we need to play around with that a bit to see if it's manageable. How about this: We create one thread for each show (Les Mis, Wicked, Book of Mormon etc.) and everyone attending this show can post their dates (in a standardised format) in this thread. The creator of that thread summarises all the posts in the first one and orders them by date. We would, however, lose the calender function itself. |

Apologies but I think I got the names mixed up. I assumed boards were threads, and threads were topics  I meant if we could create a 'board' to put the events in (like General Chat, musicals, plays), with 'sub-boards' like Genre, Location, or long-running musical I looked into the event creating menu and it lets you choose which board to put the event in. If we just had a separated board then that would mean the musicals and plays boards won't get clogged up with events rather than discussion topics... ...I mean't threads |

Re:Calendar
It seems to have disappeared - I assume Michael is rearranging it - but when I had a look at it, it did not seem to have a facility found on Yahoo or Google calendars of clicking on a date to see who was seeing what (should they have chosen to divulge this information). It would be good to be able to click on a date and see that DavidJ was at the matinee of Wicked, Welshtenor at the Cardiff New, and Vickster51 at the National on that particular day. Much easier then to arrange a meet-up - though the South Bank and South Wales are not exactly nearby LOL.

I'm a normal user as you all and have no admin or moderator rights - only BurlyBeaR and Matthew have them. I've only been playing around with the board software to test it out. I like your idea, but I guess we'd have to stick to one format. How about this: If you're the one creating an event for a show (i.e. the first of us to go there), put show name - location - time in the title (e.g. Wicked - London - 2.30pm) and, if you want to, some more information in the actual post (e.g. "my seat is A24 in the Stalls"). When you're attending a show that already has a calender entry (i.e. you're the second or third or whatever to attend), just add a new post to that calender entry / thread that you're going as well. However, we need to keep these threads clear from "normal" discussions. |

Please bear with us, this is a brand new function so if we stay with Proboards we need to find the best way of using it for everyone. Thanks for the feedback!

Much easier then to arrange a meet-up - though the South Bank and South Wales are not exactly nearby LOL. The calendar is still there in the menu at the top of the page. To add an event click the calendar link, choose the date, click to add the event which will open up a box for you to post a new thread. Make the thread title the name of your event eg "Kinky Boots London - Evening". When you save the thread the calendar will update with the event title. If people want to comment on your event, for example to say they're going to the same show, they just click the event in the calendar and the thread will open for them to add a post. |

Tbh, I preferred the old approach having a separate board for all the calender events. I have a feeling that there will be lots and lots of events (after all, we're going to the theatre a lot), and the appropriate boards will quickly get clogged and unclear / confusing. |

I'm inclined to agree michael, but then again for people who don't want to use the calendar it's possibly something irrelevant clogging up the main page. What does everyone else think? |

I think it's much better to have one "calendar" section on the main page than multiple events in each of the board's sections - it's already confusing in the musicals section with the ones that are there already!
Thanks to everyone for the work on this by the way, looking great!

Don't like having the events in the different board sections I must say. I'd rather have them all in one section.
I just looked at the musicals section and didn't even realise the Phantom thread at the top was an event until I clicked on it.

I see I have lost my capital letter, careless typing on my part and I lied about my age. Why do we have to put our age on or our gender?
So here we go...welcome to the new members whose names I don't recognise and behave yourselves the rest of you until I work out how to delete you!

Double barrelled attack.
Well done for creating this Burly, ironically I am staying in a Prem Inn by the Palace theatre.
