From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

It's Monday, so that means it's time for a new Weekly Poll.  Last week, we asked users to chime in on whether or not they like the new forum system and layout.  It seems some of our poll voting issues have been worked out as 207 of you cast a vote.  The results were overwhelmingly positive, with roughly 84% of you saying they were at least "OK."  Here's the breakdown:

What do you think of the new WinCustomize Forums?
  I like them. 78 37.68%
  I love them. 53 25.60%
  They're OK 43 20.77%
  I'm not too thrilled 23 11.11%
  I don't like them 10 4.83%

Since the poll began, there have been several significant improvements added to the forums based on community feedback.  You'll notice that each forum has an RSS feed now, and that the navigation controls appear at the top and the bottom of each forum page.  Make sure to read Brad's article on how to use the new forum navigation system and other misc. tips and tricks.

If you have additional feedback on how the new forums are doing, please post them to the comments section under this article.  We're constantly looking for ways to improve the site and the forums and welcome constructive feedback!

This week's poll question is:

Do you read Stardock Magazine?

Results to be posted next Monday.

Do you read Stardock Magazine?

If you speak of the magazine that gets E-mailed to the user upon request...then Yes I read it. However, I haven't got an issue since April.

I haven't seen one of those magazines since... oh... before you were born...    Never liked it anyway.

I like the new forums though. The whole thing has come together nicely in the last week.

I voted They're OK for the new forums. They're an improvement over the previous forums, but they still lack features of more popular forums. And the inexplicable continued use of non-standard BBCode tags means tags generated by Firefox extensions and other sites, such as image hosts, don't work. That one just baffles me.

Edit: Then there's the whole thing where when you edit your message, half of it is in BBCode and half of it is in HTML. Bizarre.
