Over the years, the forum has grown and evolved, moving from the OSx86 Project to InsanelyMac. To accommodate the needs of now over 160,000 registered users, we have decided it's time to reorganise the forum. We have listened to peoples complaints and wishes and have done what we can to provide you all with a coherent archive, as well as a lively and interesting forum.

 

Presenting InsanelyMac. Version 1.0.1.

 

Each section is pretty self-explanatory. Have a browse around, take the weekend to become accustomed to the new look and feel, and post your criticism and feedback here. Things will continue to be shuffled around until we find the perfect location, so don't be alarmed if you see certain threads moving, etc... ;)

I see...

Updates - Apple Style

 

Maybe version 2 is a bit of a stretch, maybe 1.1?

 

All that's changed is the order of all the sub-forums.

Or am I missing something?

There are below 33000 users that has contributed with more than one post tough. It looks neater with this organization, but except for moving forums around I can't see any difference. -Maybe call it update 1.1.1 ? Maybe put the non-english language forums in their own section?

If anything the version should have 4 or 5 segments to make it as hard to understand as possible. Or just three to make it like the Mac versioning.

Quite bitching... I like it.

 

Maybe they should have changed everything around so you counldn't find anything and called it InsanelyMac Vista. ;)

Can I make a suggestion? Under "Discuss and Learn" you have a Random subcategory, and under "Everything Else" we have the Thunderdome. It make more sense to bring back the "Real Life" section (or not) and combine the Random and Thunderdome sections since they are essentially the same things.

 

Overall, the new organization looks great! I am a little disappointed though, when I saw Insanelymac v2, I thought we got a new skin. ;)

I'll be honest. I absolutely don't like the new look, the old one was just fine.

Thumbs up!

Finally when a new visitor get here, takes immediately the perception why osx86 was born here around!!

:wacko:

Yeah, ok, perhaps v2 was a stretch too far. Changed to 1.0.1 just to make you guys happy. :P

Sorry, I should've posted a changelog. When I get time I will. But anyway, Real Life = The Big Issues (it was more fitting, since the topics of discussion in there were about religion, politics, war, etc...). I think perhaps the Random category name could be improved, but Thunderdome is more of an off-topic chatter section, so combining the two wouldn't really work.

Well, there were many complaints about the organisation of the forum. And there were just too many people posting OSx86 questions in the OS X forum. So, restructuring had to be done. I know it's a big change, but believe me, there is logic and simplicity in the layout we've came up with.

 

You may see a sub-forum or two switch around though. As the forum covers a vast amount of topics, separating them can be a hard job. If you have any problems with the new design, please do speak up and we can look into changing them. ;)

Ok, maybe I'm being a little too picky here, but maybe it's a little higher than 1.0.1?

Wasn't there the whole OSx86 project site before?

 

Maybe this could be 1.1.1 :thumbsup_anim::blink:

 

 

But this isn't what the community wants!

 

We want Sabr's wallpapers, now!

@ rollcage: on second thoughts (and discussion in the staff room), The Big Issues (real life) and The Great Debates have been made into their own independant sub-forums again. :P

So is it 1.0.2 now or just 1.0.1 SP1 :P

Nice but as AFAIAC, search is the MAJOR need. For example, if I search on the phrase Kalyway 10.5.2, it should show the results by highlighting every instance of that phrase in every message—not just the thread where there maybe 1000 posts in which there are only 5 mentions.

I think we're still in the beta builds :thumbsup_anim:

Yep, search is next on the list. We have came up with a fantastic idea to help improve search results and their relevance when trying to find information on the forum. I will talk about this in a week or two. We just need time to develop the new system and test it. :thumbsup_anim:

As Sabr said we've got a few ideas to hopefully improve search to a level this place deserves. Hopefully our days of having to go to google to search InsanelyMac will be over.

 

Now I don't want to give too much away about the idea but all I can say is it involves Google :)

Ha ha lol Mebster you're gonna use Google Custom Search with some custom CSS and a couple mods here and there to make it more InsanelyMac integrated :) So obvious...
