The Lounge and Trading Post show up as empty with no explanation as to why.

Perhaps it would be useful to add a message saying something to the effect of "this forum is only available by logging into the modern site."

Make sense?

Also, I know we're aiming for the lowest common denominator here, but maybe the formatting could be a little bit nicer. Something like the System7Today forum, perhaps?

There's no error handling for forums that are permission restricted.

Hello @CC_333,

The permissions one is in the list already, I just haven't gotten to it yet! In re styling, we're actually pretty close in terms of table layouts. I'd like to understand what you'd like to see here. More consistent styling at the top of the page, different header/footer styling, or a third column for post stats?

Thanks for the feedback,

OK.

Basically, I think a third column for post stats would be useful (something like, last post by $USER in $THREAD at $TIME), but I guess just an overall refinement of the look of the layout would be nice. Maybe make the fonts a point or two smaller, make the frame a bit wider (but not so wide that it no longer fits within 512 horizontal pixels), trim down the width of the table borders, etc.

Maybe I'm being too picky? It is very good as is!

Thanks for the feedback,

Of course!

Oh, wow, super excited to try this! I'll have to try loading it on my original Mac II here in a bit.

More brains (and eyes!) are better than one. I plan to implement the permission checking this weekend so I can display a message similar to what you've suggested.

Indeed!

I’m not a web designer, but it doesn’t seem like MacWeb even gets a chance to try. I get the following with all the versions I have; 1.00A2 through 2.1.

FYI all:

Moved classic.68kmla.org to point at a container with a public IP instead of a load balancer/WAF, at IP 76.164.192.221 which answers with the classic site as the default server, so even browsers that don't send the host header (like MacWeb) have a shot at loading this.

You may need to clear your cache / flush your DNS for this to take effect or simply wait the 30m after this message is posted for the TTL to run out!

Thanks,
