I'm lost...

We're going to intoduce a really cool thing in the next week and this upgrade was required for that reason.

Oh no you don't. No cool things while I'm around. I am anti-cool

This new format/software/whatever takes up too much real estate on my monitor. I like a tight crisp layout that lacks in all the dead white space. I'm running at 1600x1200 as usual and thought it slipped to 800x600 somehow. But then, if it were up to me we wouldn't use graphics at all, just plain text in a 6 point font

QUOTE Those huge "quote marks" are freaky though!

i'm not very keen on the new look quotes, and the other thing is the window gets called 'search results' instead of slot forum when you look at new posts, which results in me losing the window when I follow links...

other than that, cool

At the bottom of the screen, there is a Lo-Fi version just for you.

All these issues of asthetics will get sorted out as soon as I get the meaty bits done first.

Hold on fellas!
Nuro is working his nuts and screws off, fine tuning the new software and, having seen many improvements in the last couple of days, I expect to see more still over the next week or so.

There are several comments I could make, but I am holding all back, in a neat list, until the fine tuning is complete. When it is, I expect most (probably ALL) of our doubts and fears will have been eliminated, just as they were over time with the previous version, which wasn't perfect on first installation either. It developed, over time, into the fine piece of forum workmanship that we all knew and loved.

Just be patient and please don't jump on the detail until the master has finished his work.
The wait will be well worth it!

I like it. Once it's all done, I think many more will share my view.
After all, it's not vastly different.

Keep up the good work.

I think this place is fantasticer than ever before. I even had to invent a word to describe it Well done Nuro!

Some guys would moan and groan if they were hung with a brand new rope!!



I say give Nuro a chance. It's no skin off your nose's is it.

Well I think Nuro has done a fantastic job (one which I couldn't do!!!) and we should all be very gratefully of the work that he has put into the forum.

I, myself, have never before been so involved in a forum & that's not just because of the topic it covers. I've been a member of an equestrian forum (that's horses for those who don't know ) and a couple of Goth ones. This is by far the friendliest, most help full & fun. Not to mention the best produced!
I say, quit the moaning and be thankful for Nuro's hard work.

Heres to Nuro and long may it continue.


Cheers,
David

I agree with you 100% bacardi, still there is 2 things that puzzle me about your good self,

i) is that a picture of you now or when you were younger?

ii) is it just in the cotswolds that you have curcuits and not circuits?

i) It was the girls at the office that first called me Uncle Fester. Unless I haven't shved & then it's Alxi Sayle. & I'm sick of being called Goerge Dawes!!! but I'll except Lex Luther

ii) Arr, so you've spotted I can't spell too well . I'll put that down to my dad being an electricain, all those years ago. Hay, that's why I became a designer, I only have to make it look good!

Cheers,
Fester er... I mean David

Gosh your still up! maybe its all that cotswold air? Still at least you know a bit a about computers, I'm still struggling here with uploading my avitar, as you can gather im not so hot on this computer thing

I've often been confused with being Bruce Willis and on a bad day Bob Hoskins! Tell me more about the girls in your office! Would they like to come round and see my puppies?

Hi everyone! Maybe it's just me but I can't find the tab "view new posts" any more. It use to be on the front page but it's not there.........

I see View New Posts next to My Controls near the top right of every page.
You also get this option if you use My Assistant

As mentioned earlier, Nuro is fine tuning the layout on a VERY regular basis, so expect to see details change from time to time over the next week or so.
DON'T PANIC!

Ok, I'll confess -- I'm PC challenged!

I obviously do need to get used to the new format but I've been doing a lot of more 'clicking' than I had to do previously!

One of the features which I liked on the old style board was the poster's WWW link (where applicable) at the bottom of the post. You could click on this without having to log-in. Now you have to log-in and then open the 'card' to find it.

A feature that would be really useful would be a link to "View today's active topics" at the top of each page -- when you're not logged in.

FWIW

Kind regards
