Well done on the launch of the website. It looks very good. I have been a long time reader of the magazine and it is great to finally have an online resource too.

Regards

Well, said, Bretto about time we had a decent Forum and up to date web site without all the rubbish, swearing and other childish rubbish found on other mac forums.
Come on 20K

It sure is great to have a new Australian Mac forum option. As one of those who contribute to the print magazine each month, it's just excellent to be able to get more direct feedback from readers as well as use the site to elaborate on stories as they continue to evolve.

I also agree; great to have an Australian MW website for stuff that's relevant to us (such as no iphone, no photo albums etc) and I think it's going to be a good additional enhancement to the monthly magazine, and for those who haven't listened yet, the new AMW podcasts are also a great enhancement to the overall service. Well done guys! smile.gif

I'm stoked as well... Great job - I'll also be glad if this forum has a clean-language only policy. Does it?

Enjoy the magazine and now I'll enjoy the website between months.... Thanks!

Chuck.

Hi Chuck, thanks for your feedback. And yes, clean language only. We're pretty flexible on most things here but definitely clean language only.

It all looks rather promising I have to say. It's been rather a long time coming and I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Well done thus far.

I love the site, I can see myself checking this everyday along side macrumors. Just one thing I found a little annoying, I couldn't find a link to the podcast RSS that I could simply copy and paste into iTunes. I eventually found it indexed in iTunes however.

Great job!


Thanks azzamallow, have passed on your comment to the boys.

Try the Purple heading link at the top left of page that looks a bit like a heading but has an RSS icon next to it.

Love the magazine and the new website... great job!

One thing I'd like to see is, when you have an article that spans multiple pages, the ability to view the entire article on one page as well as the 'Page 1 2 3 next>>' option.

Hi grimesy, take a look now at the 'all' option where the pages are...

Hey guys, instead of just having this list 2 User(s) are reading this topic (1 Guests and 0 Anonymous Users) etc, why don't you have a list of who's online at the bottom of every post? so if you have been able to answer a problem for them, you can spot they are online, and then contact them and say hey check back on that question you asked before, we now have an answer for you, etc.



Come on 20K

Greetings. It is my understanding that we have this now (see attached image). The only place that you do not see a list of who's online is on the main index page (all forums). But certainly in each forum you should see a list at the bottom of the page of those members who are online with a link to their profile where you can PM them. If I'm missing something please feel free to let me know...ADMIN.
