Frankie 8,114 Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'll see what I can do mate. It is quite difficult to find the styling variations within the software but I'll keep beavering away to see what's possible. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,114 Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Right have amended the threadbit to remove the date/time surplus info - is that what you meant there? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Yeah, big improvement, in my opinion. Something weird seems to have happened to New Posts though. It now seems to be including all posts and not just new ones, but not from all forums. Forum Support posts aren't appearing now for example. It was working perfectly earlier today. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,114 Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 I've changed the way this works; mark them all read from the main forum homepage menu and it should sort itself out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,114 Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 2. The drop down box to switch between forums is not as good as it used to be. It appears above rather than below and it also takes up more space due to the use of boxes rather than just having a line for each forum so you can't see it all at once and have to scroll. 3. On the main page of each forum we have the replies/views column in a different shade which aids viewing. Can we also have the column for the envelopes on the left in a different shade? It makes it easier on the eyes. 4. I think that we also had the thread icons in a separate column whereas now they are just part of the line. Again I think that it would be easier to look at if we had them separate which makes scanning the thread titles easier. Not sure how much of this can be adjusted under the new software? 2. Looking into this. 3. This doesn't seem possible and the status-icons here are often brighter anyway. 4. Vb4 was tailored to cut down on the number of table columns for accessibility issues so again, I'm having difficulty finding out whether it is easily possible to separate the status-icon, post-icon, title unfortunately but I will see what is possible. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,876 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Not had much chance to peruse the new upgrade. I can see it will take time to customise it to everyone's taste but its looking good so far. One feature I am missing though is the 'New Posts' tab. Maybe I've missed it though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at the top left mate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Another issue I've just noticed.... I'm struggling tolog onto to the forum using the username and password boxes located at the top right of the homepage because, like the background, the font is white. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard is it to type 7 characters? All the posts I had read since the upgrade have come up as unread tonight? Why is that? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) How hard is it to type 7 characters? It may be a struggle for the great unwashed, so let's leave it. If it's hard enough for us, it'll be impossible for them. All the posts I had read since the upgrade have come up as unread tonight? Why is that? Frankie did something yesterday. Go to the Forum home page and mark all forums as read and then normal service is resumed. Edited November 11, 2010 by Bluedell 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
