Do you know if the new forum has this "like" button under every post and if the name of who liked it is displayed?

Great question. Currently, for the index view, we've adjusted it to be a bit wider than it is (about 30% more, roughly), as the current forums are rather narrow. Some other views will be full screen.Sorry for late reply.We're getting close to a presentable version! I will check with the team, but perhaps I can jump on camera and record a brief walkthrough of some of the highlights.How long before we get to see "the real new shiny thing"(or a test site)?
A week? A month? I am looking forward to it.
If we did this, what would you want to check out most from someone on screen showing you around?
I would like to know the width of the forums. Is it like now or does it use the whole screen width? Some forums use the whole width of the screen and the posts are hard to read when you have to move your eyes/head from edge to edge. In my opinion the size we have now is a bit narrow, so I am hoping for something a little bit wider, but not the whole width.
Of course I mean for desktop or laptop computer. For phones it is different and should likely use the whole width.
Else it's hard to make suggestions without trying it (or seeing it) yourself.
A great question. Yes, this is possible. There is a button next to each post called "Quote Reply", and you can just use that to add quotes of various posts to your reply.
This is of top importance. Links from Google, etc., should path correctly to the expected destination. If one doesn't, we'll want to know.
Yep! And you will be able to see who likes a post, just like you showed here.Thanks.

I'm not sure there's a limit at all - The prior text is just reprinted one color-level down, and it looks like the color list is cyclical.and one moreReally?Test, test... looks like I've reached the limit of how many threaded sub-sections can be created.Yep!

In the overall view, it doesn't show it being bumped to the right anymore as a sub-bullet point. I'm glad it's still doing it here though.I'm not sure there's a limit at all - The prior text is just reprinted one color-level down, and it looks like the color list is cyclical.and one moreReally?Test, test... looks like I've reached the limit of how many threaded sub-sections can be created.Yep!

Yes, and this is expected. Every single message we make, will have this concern no matter what. We have general experience on how to market and promoteAs I posted upthread, once you post this to the entire site you will most likely have to revisit this all over again. I think you guys are gluttons for punishment.I can assure you this news will be posted on the DPReview homepage to share with the wider community. We made an intentional choice to share the news with regular forum users first, but we'll give everyone advance warning with a news article on the main site (likely multiple articles, I suspect).Right on Sherman, one has to ask himself why it is not in with normal news. It is not too late; it can be done any time now. I keep trying to put a positive spin on this project while management keeps doing things like this. It should be in the news, on the front page, with a link to all our related discussion threads. Hmm?Why not just put the information on the news tab. It's certainly as important and timely as a new camera or lens. You could even include your FAQHi Andrew! We agree, it should have been announced on the forum's official news section, if we had one. This is something that will be corrected in the new forums. To make matters worse, there's no way to share forum posts and pin them across the whole forums (something the new forums will also correct).
The first step was to reach out to the active forum community first, to get their thoughts before more "promo" pieces go out like the front page of the overall DPR website. Anything our active forum community would initially suggest to us could then be adjusted and clarified earlier, before a big promo that may cause confusion with everyone.
I hope this clears up our intention. It's a smart thought, thanks for thinking of it!
. Having put it out there en mass without consideration for our core audience first would have been a worse mess, I can assure you. I've experienced first-hand improper handling of how to promote something. While you can never be sure how it will go (like this forum announcement itself), there are some general guidelines.

This conversation about how we're promoting the forum system is ending for now. We're spinning here, and it's taking up Ben's post unnecessarily.
Great news Sherm. Thanks
Ben,
