OzLiberty's facelift and Facebook updates

  Top of Page

Hi Folks,
Just wanted to keep you all in the loop - we are about to begin a week long testing cycle on the new site's layout and features and providing there are not too many dramas uncovered hopefully the site will be coming to you very soon.

Also Rick/FOZ13 will be posting some info and screenshots on the new features etc to the OzLiberty facebook group, which can be found at http://tinyurl.com/yh3ozru.

I really enjoy using the new one. Its got a few new features that make using the site a lot nicer, and a few of the wanky current features have gone tongue I'm just looking forward to releasing it so I have a reason to stare blankly at it...

It's a forum! It's not meant to be fancy!

It's meant to be fast, simple and easy to use, and has a place to chat to other Liberty owners, No one uses the wanky stuff like "reviews" apart from the admin team!

Sorry to name names Luke but take a page from Subyclub and RSliberty, they are both simple yet practicle therefore get used a lot more than ozlib (since it had its update)

walts I think the new features will get a bit more use than the reviews and classifieds do. And if you don't want to use those features, then you can just dwell in the forums, that's fine too...
Also myride returns.

walts it's definitely happening. It's mostly done, we just want to spend some time with the mods finding any bugs and what not before it's released.
Shiv I'll get FOZ13 to post them in here for you.

Sounds interesting, although I personally am not attracted to all that 'ap' stuff when it comes to a car forum. I'm more interested in how the the more basic experience of making posts, creating new threads and PM'ing each other is because thats a weak point of this current forum.

Do you have any pics of the basic layout of the site?

The old faithful, the forum. After a refreshing makeover and some serious dieting in the backend we present to you the feature that made ozliberty, the forum.

The ozLiberty forum is once again lighter, more work friendly and feature rich. Indexing and caching and all the stuff you had no idea about are all standard features which provide you with 'sheer browsing pleasure'.
