Maybe LM banned you for teasing Joe.

No, he's making me a special banner for that...

A few minor suggestions:

1) This one was mentioned a while back by someone else: a first-post "preview" bubble when hovering over a thread's link would be awesome. It's about the only functionality that the old MB site had that I miss at this site.

2) Some forums give the user the ability to specify how many replies to include on a page. Seems that the default here is 15 (was 10) -- is that something that could be turned over to the individual to decide? If I want 50 replies on a page and someone else wants 10, we'd both get what we want.

3) The title that appears in the browser window or browser tab for each thread is problematic when multiple tabs are open. What I mean is this: if I open the list of new posts, and ctrl-click (in Windows/IE9) to open a bunch of threads in new tabs, I get "BeerBorg Social - View topic - (topic title)" in the tab name....which basically gets shortened due to space considerations, to "BeerBorg Social - View topic - ..." in every single tab. Makes it hard to differentiate one thread from another, when all the tabs have the same name, so to speak. Another forum I visit solves this problem by putting the thread title FIRST. That way, you'd get tabs with names like "Pliny the So-So", "The No Post Post", etc. - which then makes it easy to know which tab is which post. Make sense, or am I talking in circles as usual?

Again: these are MINOR issues (well, the first one would be killer) and in now way indicate a dissatisfaction with the style, content or administration of the site! It's all good.

Same request as Crazy Climber, and I have no clue if you have the ability to change it, but might as well ask. When I open tabs for each message, the tab (at least in Chrome) will display as "BeerBorg Social - View Topic - G'tar" (for example). Which is obviously very wordy, and each tab just ends up displaying "BeerBorg So..."

A lot of forums I visit have the important part first (i.e. G'tar), so it is easy to glance at the tabs and see which thread is which. Is there any modification that can be made to the <header><title> tag to improve this?

LM I've said in the past that I don't know the techie stuff about forums but as i am on today I am randomly getting a pure/blank white screen flash for a second when I move from one thread/section to another. Just letting you know in case it is a bad thing.

Yeesh, SORRY! I'll try to keep it very short from now on.

How about offering Tapatalk support for mobile devices?

Try it again. I've reset the attachment quota for the board so it should be working now.

I believe that was that auto-forum settings that prohibit posts with too much skin, such as shower scenes... It should have read "skin quota exceeded".

Hey, I've showered with no beers today.

I like this format, haven't
really spent the time yet to get it all together. Was on here on and off with my Iphone and it was a little hard to navigate, so maybe a little more
mobile friendly would be good, but now my laptop is up again and its a good site to view and navigate, I just have to work on posting pics. now.
Good Job

We're posting from the future!!

So, I don't know if it is the site, or if the problem is with my phone, but when I view it on my mobile the site isn't loading properly. It's probably just my phone, it's old and a piece, but I was just wondering if anyone else is having problems? It is fine on my desktop.
