Whoa, nice! Had no idea what this thread was about the past couple of days but finally took a look.
As I mentioned in the larger Responsive QBN thread, I'm a UX architect / interaction designer and would be more than happy to help out with this. I think I'd be willing to test and log issues in a prototype or something, or weigh in on how it's organized.
Set - I think I've said this before, but the design is so nice, I've always seen this more as something that you could sell or give to others to use. Like, if this could be a deployable platform for people to create a forum around. Such a massively better platform design than something like VBulletin.

you can do edit, just use a history feature to show previous edits.

Just stumbled across this thread while searching. I like to think this effort spurred qbn on to hurry up and make the new responsive version before we all fucked off and built our own

So... is this actually in the works or just a concept still?

Is there some kind of Dog-ear implementation? I use the shit out of it.. Some better implementation would be awesome.

I'm pro–open membership. PublicVoice 2.0 might encourage some actual design / industry discussion and new members would make things interesting.
I understand not wanting to open the gates to noobs / spammers but there's ways around this.
An invite system is one way. Forcing new users to apply via portfolio / written submission (like some private torrent clubs) is another.
P.S. The redesign is really nice, UX wise it's almost perfect. Totally agree you could shop this around as an improved VBulletin. My only criticism would be that it's a little uncharismatic for a design forum. I realise it's still early days so your priorities lie with site structure / functionality (and you've done a superb job) but if it launches publicly it would need stronger branding to be successful.
If I was unacquainted with QBN or the personal jokes I probably wouldn't even know it was a design forum, so it probably wouldn't hurt to make it look like one.
- I hate the idea of a hyper active forum full of newbs. Invite is the way to go.inteliboy
- In the other thread, didn't we discuss applying for membership, filling out a survey of some kind?mg33
- I don't like design for the sake of designset
- Meaning I think the threads are key, no point designing just to make it look pretty, imo. I hear you though.set
