As you may have guessed we are really pushing to make SlateDroid big. And also you may have guessed that not everything we do makes you guys happy (in fact it's probably the minority of things that we do that have that effect, but hey ho).We want to change SlateDroid to encompass all Android tablets, currently it has more of a reputation as a specialist forum for the Eken and aPad. So the question is, how would you guys be most comfortable with the change? Keep it as is but add more devices and have specialist sections within those devices? Or perhaps have just one section for each device and dedicate the rest of the boards to generalized android discussion?We can't do anything effective unless we have some user input so please reply with your suggestions. The main feature of the change is to implement a CMS system where we can post news, reviews and features. The partnership with Merimobiles means that we'll be putting out a lot of reviews in the future so having a good CMS is essential.There aren't going to be any major changes without careful consideration (we have been doing lots of testing - again, as you may have noticed) and the server should be up for a time to come.Possible options are:Wordpress Frontend + SMF BridgevBulletin Suite + SMF ImportI am personally in favour of the vBulletin Suite as we are a large-ish forum now and we need some reliable forum software to ensure that we don't have any issues handling all the activity. Obviously the new theme didn't go down well (giving it a social look) so we'll be using default in whatever it is we decide to use for a while. What sort of look would you guys like? (Same goes for this thread, gripe about the Cielo theme and I'll be pissed.)I apologize for the downtime we've had over the past week - we're just trying to making SlateDroid as good as it can be.Regards,Mike
