Feedback New Forum Software

[Rogue 585]

I actually prefer 'plain' emoticons rather than the demon ones

Agreed.

Andy, let me know if you ever want some help with the css etc. Happy to help.

Thanks but I think I've pretty much worked it out. The new software had a visual editor which was a bit hit and miss and didn't cater for everything on the board. I can work my way around css but mostly it is trial and error. Every now and again some of you might have noticed a touch of pink somewhere, that was me experimenting with what code changed what.

Thanks for the offer. Cheers.

Is it my imagination or is the site as a whole running quicker also. New box ? as well as dice perhaps . ( now I would haveput a smiley face there..or evern a rolleyes..but alas...cough !! ) lol

What like these...

[beelzebub 22,317]

What like these...

yep thats them...or not !!! lol

Now its possible they might actually show up properly depending on browser..lol dont in mine

[Demonland 66,428]

Good work Andy. Like the new skin. The editor works well. I had to upload my avatar again, but no big drama.

I actually prefer 'plain' emoticons rather than the demon ones. Maybe it's just my preference for commonality with other sites and lack of clutter.

If we are down to arguing about the shade of red or pink, then not much is wrong with the rest of it.

I'll be fixing the emoticons in the next few days.

And lets open it to suggestions from the public. Here's a couple for starters.......

- Yellow circle with an 'S' inside

- The superman logo

[beelzebub 22,317]

That's a good start. A confused look pic of Mr.Bean ?

[daisycutter 28,684]

Andy, good job on banner. It now looks like there is more room on RHS (at least on my browser/resolution)

How about a wideangle pic of our great MCG on the RHS. Sort of a bookend to Jimmy and Neelds

there is the ^o) which is for sarcasm...thatd do

[Demonland 66,428]

oh..and an also

At the bottom of each forum there used to be an opportunity via a drop down choice to go to this forum of that etc. . Now none exists andn you have to scrol lback to top of page and select forums and then the other forum of choice. ( now that would have been a sad face except none can be chosen..lol )

That was also gone on the last version of the software but I found some coding on the net to get it back. I will attempt to find it again and see if I can insert it. You can go back to the forum index by clicking the link on the right hand side of the last post on a page the say "Back to 'Which ever forum you are in'"

Not sure if already reported but the edit post feature I'm having trouble with

I'm using firefox 6.0.2 not sure if there is a compatibility issue.

Can you be more specific? It is working for me. Are you on Mac or PC?

[old dee 22,982]

No!

That was fluro red.

That is not the colour we wear.

Computer screen red and red are two different colours.

The red in your Avatar is the one I want.

Red not pink not maroon.

Red!

[Trisul 649]

Were you able to do this before? I know i can set it in the admin settings but can individual users do it customise their preferences. I know i can do it on other forums but not sure if we were ever able to do it here. Let me know and i will look into it.

Yep, there were settings I'd set for show avatar, show sig, posts displayed per page (per thread) etc. Nothing huge just letting you know really.

When I hit add reply a post is added

when i go to the post and attempt to edit the post using the edit button

the dialogue box comes up I make my changes then try to press save changes

and there is no response. There is no response to Preview Post either.

I press 'cancel' and that causes the screen to scroll back to the header.

But the edit dialogue bow remains open.

that's about as much detail as I can come up with

[Diablo Deemon 220]

Sorry it's not preview post it's 'use full editor' option

[Demonland 66,428]

I'll investigate. It's likely a forum software issue that is beyond my control. It seems strange that they wouldn't test on all the platforms and browsers.
