New Board Style..28th August 2008

[beer monkey]

Nice clean bright board style Lee, only takes a short while to get used to it, a few more extras in profile,all smilies on show, and i see we can edit our posts that have already been replied to all very good,and a new pic/image upload too..!!! thumbs up from me, the only thing is when you put the cursor over topics they 'high light pink' and i instantly think its a NEW post, but will soon get used to that i think.still a thumbs up though......anyone else got any thoughts..?

not sure what why the code above this and under the image is showing though.

Thanks BM. It's not been an easy task but finally got there in the end. I haven't completely finished yet, there's still a lot of stuff to do but the hardest part is out of the way. Over the next couple of weeks I will work on the layout etc. so if anyone has any suggestions please post them.

I've added the youtube BB code too which should be useful.

Yeah thanks Lee...

Still getting used to it, but am starting to like it.

I liked the "Friends & Foes" bit - very neat....

[beer monkey]

Ooo yeah Friends and foes, just spotted that one, don't think in will add any foes, ......

[BobHelm]

AH, as if you possibly could BM...

Lee, when you go to 'View new posts'
Some posts have * some have black/red text (static) some have black/red text (rolling).
Any chance of a 'key'???

Lee I usually enter the forum via the UM homepage. At the moment, forum subjects do not appear on the homepage - will this change?

I'll have a look for that one Bob.

I just this minute fixed the latest topics on the front page, it should load faster now too.

Thanks Lee

Even got a little slot to mark your birthday.

Another improvement Lee - far more to like than to dislike

The most visually noticeable improvement is that the forum now expands to the full width of my monitor

With my eyesight, new posts/topics still do not really stand out on the Board Index

The instant reply box has gone AWOL

I scan left to right so I would prefer to see details of poster on the left - so from past experience I can decide whether I want to spend my time reading what they post – this is somewhat selective on my part as some folk (IMHO) post stuff which has been well worth reading on some threads and utter drivel on others.

Friends & Foes - that could be interesting if we got to see who other peoples Friends & Foes are (but that is probably not the intention). When looking to see what this was about I did see a note in the Foes section “Please note that you cannot ignore moderators or administrators” – as if any of us would

Nice job there Lee, did my first posting on this new forum setup about the little award received today.
Now I have to figure out the new setup, but shouldn't be to hard, I got the pictures uploaded, just it will only allow 3 attachment or images.

that did trow me off a bit too, but it don't take long to forget the old board, but much more things added than taken away like the nice easy to use colour chart, and quote options.

A job well done, much clearer.

Cheers Jim, and congratulations on your 30th Birthday Beermonkey.

I'll work on that

...and this too.

Sometimes avatars can be distracting so it makes it easier to read this way. I do agree it takes some getting used to but wil happily change it back if needed.
