New forum software...

Xyzzy · 2004-01-22, 00:32

Please post any bugs here...

Also, if you discover a new feature that is cool please let us know about it... This is a major upgrade so even though I installed and tested it, I doubt I even saw 10% of the new stuff...

Thanks!

Scary, scary new GUI. Why can't everything be simple like back in the good old days?

/16 and already talking like a grizzled old man

Frankly, I liked the way the threads were displayed with the old software better. Oh well, I guess I'll get used to it.

Also, dunno about you, but on my computer the not all the smilies show up, a column or two is cut off. Infact, the entire right side of the "Message:" for posting is cut off. Maybe my browser? Using Opera 7.23.

My monitor setting is 1024x768. The forum is a wide ribbon down the middle of the screen with wide gray margins on both sides - roughly 80% of screen width used and 10% wasted on right and left sides.

I have only been able to successfully log in and post using MS Explorer and not my usual Opera browser. Clearing cookies did not solve the problem. Every attempt to log in indicated as success but immediately would take me back to the log in prompt. So there we go, a mystery.

Fixed.

Composing this message, though, I discover there is no cursor in the composition window. It makes editting difficult.

Are you using "quick reply" or the regular reply? Quick reply is designed so that you have to click a particular message to get it to activate... This is used for the advanced threaded view, which is like USENET...

Fixed, everything displays perfectly now. But it did ask for me to login again, despite the fact that cookies are enabled and I did set the login to 'Remember Me'.

Looks good! I like the way that it automatically marks a thread as read after I have read it. [Say that 10 times quickly ...]

The old software showed unread posts in a thread with a different color, yellow, so I could easily see them. In the new software, how do I see unread posts?

Also, if I don't use explorer it shows me as a currently active user online, but shows all the threads as locked, presumebly becuase I'm not really logged in...
