I think I probably sound like a broken record on this subject, but all this pretty interface doodling ain't worth jack without all the technical doo-dads and data pocketing that a site such as this needs.
And no, I don't mean some half-arsed WP plugin that falls apart as soon as more than 3 people use it concurrently.
Also — cost? Decent hosting for a site for this to work well isn't free..! I'm sure people here would club in initially to get it running. but there needs to be some long-minded consideration of how it'd support itself.
Smoochie coochies,

- Pretty interface doodling is what I do best, what you said is (obvious) true. I'm just putting it out there, why not...set
- It's just a bit of fun, but if anyone with the database and back end knowledge chimes in, then superb...set

- Shyould probably ask Pylon about server loads, etc, on NTC, and then times by 4 for an initial estimate of trafficdetritus
- Also, who's the guy who runs YH! who has an account here? He'd be worth asking about traffic, etc.detritus
- Hah yes lots of detailed UX suggestions. Actually getting some kind of working forum built first might help!set

Also, in the other thread about this, we talked about organizing around topic groups. Can't remember what the consensus was on that, but I do remember that it created two different scenarios:
1) Arranged by threads as QBN currently works - with some threads expected to be gigantic and always growing (Gif OTC, COTD, What are you listening to, etc.)
2) Arranged by topic groups (ex: Web Design, Print Design, Help Needed, Photography, Music, etc.) - There's a benefit to this approach in that some things important to the person posting them (looking for help on something, for example) get lost in threads that grow in length, and only allow for comments to the right.However, there's a gray area when it comes to how we all expect some of the larger threads to work. I wouldn't expect people to post gifs as individual new threads - same for now listening, COTD, etc. Those work effectively as always growing threads.
Certain topics will lend better to users replying directly below the original post, like we do for many threads. A request for help, for example, follows a flow where the user posts their request, and people post replies to it, images, etc. and don't have to rely on just the comments tool for their message.
Just thinking through this in my head at the tail end of a boring meeting.
I could see a benefit to having some sort of hybrid forum structure as follows:
Topics + Individual threads - (open a topic, view infinite threads within sort of like we currently do). People are free to post relevant threads within a topic.
Topics that are a single thread - Visually represented similar to a Topic, but opens a single thread in which users can only add replies to that thread, and comments to individual replies. This works for the bigger threads, keeps people contained within them.Like I said, just some thoughts.

Looks good guys. Wish I could help, but I don't know anything about backend. Any other help needed?

color choices on the new QBN are pretty close to sets design

I find sets' ui design much more aesthetically pleasing.
