We want to hear it all, what is it you love about Best-Board and what is it you dislike about it?

Anything from the design of the template to the layout and members that stay here.
I want to hear it all, maybe through discussion we can make it better for everyone!

My biggest peeve with BB are the typo's. In general threads they're not a problem but in staff announcement and/or descriptions, etc, it's a serious bug-bear of mine. I always feel that people should ensure that when making posts in the capacity of a staff member that they ensure their grammar and spelling is correct although it reflects badly on the site.

Apart from that, it's a pretty good site

Obviosiosly its a great site, but I suppose I'll share my list, assuming my praise and constructive criticism in the appropriate context.

Pros: Great staff and great members. Plenty of knowledgable people always willing to help. Some great articles have been written by B-B members too. Lots of free skins and graphics. Friendly and helpful environment for admins of all software platforms.

Con: I think the cross-posting of articles from other sites seriosly detracts. And we've got too many graphics forums, which are split over two different cats. The scripts forum should be nixed, and instead there should be a mods/hacks subform for each BBS that has a section here. Also, there should be a hosting discussion forum. Also, in the quest to facilitate admins of all BBS, the board seems to have catered to somewhat smaller ones like UseBB and MyBB, while missing larger and more widely used ones like SMF and YaBB.

Picking up on Gprime's comments about the graphics forums. I find that sometimes it's very hard to decide where a subject belongs because of the amount of forums covering very similar subjects. It might be worth combining a few of them together to make it less confusing.

Generally this is due to some of the staff having other languages as their primary language. I know when I make any official announcement on updates and technical things, I try to be as correct as possible with my spelling and grammer.

My only peeve is the category and forum structure. I don't believe it's as neat as it could be. Some forums could be made into subforums and some forums can be deleted...etc..etc..

I agree with the graphic section, it really needs a revamp with rethought.

Not agreeing that the scripts forum should be subdivided as the activity in there is very little still, but as/when it expands so will the forum.

Agree with Danny over the grammar, it is a problem we are aware of and strive to combat

Yeah I understand the difficulty with the spelling and grammar, I just think it's something that should be given some thought as the userbase is mainly english-speaking and sometimes it is hard to understand what is being said. As I said, it's not such a big deal in every day normal posts, but in official announcements and suchlike it can be a little confusing

Great feedback everyone!
Yes sometimes the grammar is hard to decipher, there have been many times that I have had to guess-read here but I understand that it is due to some language differences.

I also agree with gprime that instead of so many graphics board there should be a couple of mod/hacks ones, I've seen many on other boards that were popular with coders.

I also understand what Shellspeare said about low activity, but the activity will increase with more lure IMO, and even I would be interested in a coding forum which allows many subforums for all types of coding including HTML, Javascript, CSS, PHP, CGI etc.
