Administrators Sean Posted March 18, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 18, 2016 Well, if you are reading this, the new site is on now. It's totally different from the old one so everything is going to work differently. Many thanks to Homer for his many hours of hard work on this setup. It was a great team effort! One thing that most users will have to do is to reload their signature image. I don't think the old ones carried over correctly, at least mine did not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Looks pretty good! Well done one and all. Looks like my aged Defence copy of IE 8 can't use it but luckily they now use Chrome as well. Here's to another ten years or so until the next "refresh"! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Looks like Signature graphics may need to be re-imported or adjusted to the new standard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapper_511 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Very nice. I like the Hanover map background and the perpetual color motion. Feels more mobile-friendly too. Well done, folks, and thanks again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, nice site with powerful tools I see. Awesome show, great job! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking something that would take you to the first unread post in the topic you were actually in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted March 18, 2016 Members Share Posted March 18, 2016 In the topic list, look at the round or star-shaped speck. Unfortunately the sensitive area for the click is rather finicky, only a few pixels wide. I hope that can be adjusted to a more click error tolerant size. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Retro Posted March 18, 2016 Members Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) I appreciate the work! I wonder though.. is there a way to customize the display? Because.. there's so much whitespace everywhere (just look at the line spacing!). So much wasted space between buttons, between posts, at the top of the forum.. dark gray text on gray background? the text is super small, making it super hard to read (plus, the color!) for topics, user names etc, only the (tiny) text is clickable, it's pixel hunting.. Yes I guess I'm old and antisocial, but what's with all these notifications and 'follow' stuff (come on there's buttons for twitter, digg, g+, facebook, delicious, reddit, stumbleupon, linkedin(!!!)) In general I'm afraid right now I'm really not happy about the usability of this new forum Edited March 18, 2016 by Retro because i can 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt DeFault Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I don't see a way to delete an entire post anymore, though. I guess you could just delete its contents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it doesn't resolve all of the issues you mentioned. (Personally, I like the new look.)
