Forum Upgrade -- POST ANY ISSUES HERE

[vintage68]

I'm liking the grey background, much easier on my eyes. Not so happy with the "senior member" designation. I prefer "practically family."

This is not a big thing, but whenever I click to the main page, it asks me to log in, even if I am already logged in. I can navigate around fine once I get away from the front page. Also when I do log in and it redirects me, it is still on the page prompting me to log in or register until I click to some other page.

Also, have the postcount titles changed? Because I don't remember being a Senior Member, and I couldn't find anything in the FAQ.

Also, is there a reason we can no longer have code in our signatures?

I do really like the upgrade.

Delete your cookies.

Member titles were messed up in the upgrade-- I'll get on fixing them.

I'll look into the bbcode in signatures.

Looks flash.

(no reference to Adobe, thats just an Australianism for pretty looking. )

The settings for the use of code in Signatures is turned off by default, apparently. I couldn't locate a way to turn it on for myself, so is that something that has to be done behind the scenes?

Thanks. It looks and works great.

You'll be back in the family shortly.

Thanks. I'm not too keen on everything about this "skin", but we'll try to work with it.

It is a setting in the control panel. I'll get to work on it.

Two minor gripes: Contact List and Subscribed Threads both got "zeroed out" in the final upgrade, looks like.

Actually, I just deleted my cookies, still no change with the log in problem.

Am I right in thinking that we don't have to wait 30 seconds between refreshing for new posts?

 

[Nathan Flowers]

What browser/OS?

As an old timer, this will take some getting used to! I like it but I'll miss the "classic" version.

I miss it as well. I'm going to try to get back to the same "feel" of the original as best I can, but still with good features.

It looks great, I love the frames, now that they are darker. It would be great to have a choice of color themes besides too dark and too light... both are kind of hard on the eyes. But I am sure you have a million tasks! Thank you so much for all the incredible work!

Very cool! Thanks!!

Mac OSX, and I have the same problem in Chrome and Firefox.

Are you running incognito or private browsing mode?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I like that we have a quick reply feature now. But how do I tell when the last time I logged on was? I am having a hard time figuring out new posts since I last came here.

Thanx!!!

Also I am noticing that links & colors in signature lines do not work...

Are you running incognito or private browsing mode?

Nope. I stay logged in fine, but the front page thinks that I am not. As soon as I click to another page, it acknowledges me.

Not blasting, but I'm going to simply list off some of the issues I'm coming across. Here's my $0.02.

The pages have way too many colors going on.On the main page alone, there are different shades of grey for the title boxes, post counts, and thread descriptions. Forum titles, latest posts, usernames, and post times are all different shades of orange. Some of the bars on the pages are shaded with varying gradients. Just too many colors, shades, and sizes going on at once for me to take in.

The smilies, while still resembling the originals, are blurry. I kind of miss the charm of the old ones.

Everything looks so... modernized. The boxes are all rounded out, and the speech bubbles for each forum look cartoony.

Everything has similar fonts. Even in different colors, it doesn't make up for the clarity afforded by sizing contrast.


All in all, just a lot going on. Again, not slamming anyone's work. All the work done to fix and improve this community is greatly appreciated, by all of us. But this is a thread to suggest improvements, so that's what I have to offer up.

Cheers,
