Forum getting updated

[leaf]

Also, in the forum itself, the last column on the right - can that be made bigger so we can see the latest topic better? It's very thin compared to before.

Ok, I'll shut up now

Can you explain more?  I'm not sure where you mean

[Anyka]

I'm already getting used to the new lay-out and it's looking good, except that I miss seeing the name of the person who started a thread (the OP) in the list.  Could that be made visible please?  (talking about the recent discussions list, as I just noticed it's already visible in the Forum list).

You weren't the only one who missed that.  I think I've got it cased now.

Super!!  Thanks!!

Leaf, what's up with the large font on latest topics? We're not all seniors here you know

haha, well i thought it would be easier to quickly browse and to isolate it from the category and poster.  If people think it is too large I can alter it.

I hope so, I'll have to buy either a bigger screen or use my current in portrait mode just to read the topics

Yeah, it's a bit large. I know it depends on one's screen resolution. On my Mac at home it's ok but on the clunker PC I have to use at work it is rather large. I vote for smaller. I've been hanging around here awhile and am ready to pay for the good info and chuckles, are you going to reinstate an easy way to contribute?

Oops, just found it under Support, I'm off to PayPal...

.. hardly. 
Before coffee voiced his opinion it was 1 against one.  Afterwards it was 2 against 1.
.. and I made it 2 px smaller ! :p

This request might be far fetched, but I love the "most recent" page.  A lot of forums you have to drill into the subcategories to see new topics so I really appreciate this feature.  Wondering if there is a possibility of getting a scroll bar here so we can go back in time a page or two?  I've gone away to return to every topic on the most recent page being new, but I don't think there is anyway to retrieve the older posts if we don't open up each sub category?  Just a "nice to have" if you are up with insomnia some nigh

On the top there should be links
Show unread posts since last visit.
Show new replies to your posts.

If not, click the little arrow on the top right and they should drop down.  Do they do what you are looking for?

That said, I agree - it would be nice to have more 'latest topics' on the front page or a 'page 2, 3' as you say.

Little glitch I've noticed. When I write a post and then spell-check it before sending ... the post simply disappears after I have hit the Post button. If I post the message without spell-checking it then I do not have this problem. I'm on Win7 and IE8.

Edited to add __ just tried spell-checking this message before sending (having copied it first) and the problem did not occur. It did happen with 2 earlier messages though.

strange.  I'll try spell checking a bit in the next few days and see if I can recreate the problem.  I usually just trust firefox to spellcheck for me as I type and never use the button.

I've started a feature request thread here.

Please put future requests / thoughts in there

Yes, that's accurate.  I've been collecting the links for a while.

Tyler, still no go?

Also, in the forum itself, the last column on the right - can that be made bigger so we can see the latest topic better? It's very thin compared to before.

Ok, I'll shut up now

Can you explain more?  I'm not sure where you mean

It seems to be a little better, but I still find that the important column on the right which contains the most relevant info, is the hardest to read and most squeezed. I have a screen grab of what I mean. The red area seems to be wasted space? Perhaps the boards title (the orange titles) should determine the size of this space instead, with the black text underneath wrapping to fit. Then we could have a much larger right hand column (blue square in screen grab) to see the latest threads title, who's talking etc...

Hope that make some sense! Just my 2cents...

If I wanted a blue logo I'd probably use the one that kngkyle submitted several years ago

I'm partial to orange though and the theme has a number of other orange elements which I feel ties things together a bit.

Cheers, thanks Just to add to your workload, has anyone else mentioned that the new site is sluggish on iPhone 3GS? Links in particular. It usually takes around 5 seconds to register a click. This never used to happen before the upgrade.

Promise, that's my last complaint

Have you tried the tapatalk app?

[THP Creative]

nope, perhaps I will have too though

[ruxpriencdiam]

How about doing away with saying a post has been edited until after someone else has posted behind it.

Right now if no one post's after you and you forgot something and go back and fix it it says EDITED.

Why no have it only say EDITED after someone else post's behind it like SS does?

[red]

Yeah, but... it might have been read before you edited it. Lots of people read posts but don't comment. If you write something and it is read and that person thinks that it isn't worth coming back to and then you edit it to add some brilliant additional text to make it better, or different, those that read it first might not realize you changed it.
