CFry Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 It would be great for new people if you could replace the acronyms with expanded text. It's rather putoffish for a new user to see all the acronyms thrown around like some kind of coded language. Having the actual product name displayed (or even hot linked) would be a great feature for the board. Here is one mod that does it: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=113846&page=3 There are obviously many different ways to do it but I think it would enhance the experience here.

Chewy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 That would be a neat mod for sure, that's an old version and it looks like it may not be compatible with our current VB version. Like you said though; I'm sure there are more. I didn't find it off putting, but it did make understanding posts harder as a NooB. That is why this thread was created. http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3254 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology 4TW (I mean for the win) After two weeks, you'll have them down... It drove me nuts at first too. I will see if Dylan will look at a mod like that though. I usually hate when I'm moving my mouse and stuff is popping up all over my screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 It might be cool to hot link it to the Adam's Store.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Don't wish too hard people... A little birdie told me something today and it's a pretty neat something if it works out. lol Biggest issue with those links is a lot of them pop up a huge box that sits over what you're reading for 5 seconds every time you sweep over them. They drive me NUTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 that would definitely drive me nuts too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redvenm Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I consider myself a detail junkie but new to these boards not detailing. I now have most of Adam's products. That said, I too find it a pain figuring them out. For those that do not want the popups possibly a feature to disable them would be helpful. Anything to help Adam's website become more userfriendly seems to me to be a good idea. After all new customers are the name of the game... Now that I have found Adam's products...here is my feeling for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
