Report Problems - New Forum Software / Design

[poolman]

Re: Possible Downtime This Weekend

I made an adjustment so I hope you have the ability to go to the default style now (bottom left corner of page).

I think I fixed the YouTube embedded problem too - had to install a modification.

I will also work on bypassing the "Home" page and have the link come right to the forum - at least until I figure out a good use for it. I may eventually use that page as the www.tsptalk.com home page, but that will be another time, if at all.

Keep posting the problems and I will work on them. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the default style is not the "old" format, just a different format - like Beltway Talk.

Like I told Buster, I will fix that "Home Page" link.

I didn't expect everyone to like it. I knew many wouldn't like any change. But the new software will allow us much more functionality when it comes to new features like mobile access, blogging, social networking, etc. Nothing is being developed for the old software anymore and we would be left behind.

By the way, it took us a year to finally upgrade from the 3rd version of VB to this version 4. They are now working on VB 5 so we're starting to catch up.

Now, give me a few minutes while I add another KB of RAM to my Commodore 64. :laugh:
Again, please post any issues here and I will tackle them as soon as possible.

Thanks!!

Your doing great Tom!
At first I didn't like the changes but I didn't even give it a minutes thought.
After playing around with it for a couple of hours, I already am liking this format better.

Tackle the problems 1 Tree at a time. Don't think of the whole forest. Hahahahaaaa

I've got Windows XP operating system on most of my computers. I like the operating system but I know I am getting further and further behind with the times.

I guess one day I will have to update all computers with Windows 7 ? Is that the most current operating system ?

vB4 Default Style has fewer problems than vB4 Blue Style, Default Style is the one for me for me!

Re: Possible Downtime This Weekend

When I click on "New Reply" it takes me down to "Quick Reply" is that what it is supposed to do? Also would it be possible to increase the font size by just one or two? I have to wear my glasses to read all this now. No old man jokes OK.

Re: Possible Downtime This Weekend

I like the new interface, especially that you still have 'recent posts' available in the stats section at the top of the main page. Change is good.

Ony problem I'm having with it is I can't find the 'Midas' button in the user control panel settings in the new software. Once I clicked that in the old version all my posts instantly became these witty nuggets of pure golden wisdom, this could get tough around here without that feature.

Re: Possible Downtime This Weekend

Tom, can I get a trouble ticket number?

Also, I'd love to see the blogs added back to the top 12 stats section.

I was wondering if that would be overkill, or redundant since they are on the top of the right sidebar.

I can't take the "Latest Posts"out of that stats heading, so I put them below the Blog Entries in the sidebar.

Re: Possible Downtime This Weekend

Tom, I'd like the blog pictures to fully display, but the right column appears to prevent this from happening.

Got it. I just had to make an adjustment to the default image setting.

Re: Possible Downtime This Weekend

also the right column , both comments and blog subjects, are crowded upward, resulting in the bottom icon left blank...

I see that. I will try to get that fixed. Thanks

Re: Possible Downtime This Weekend

I'll try to wait a day before I mention anything I can't figure out...

I'm just fixing them as they get reported, so I appreciate the heads up!

Re: Possible Downtime This Weekend

Not sure why one gif displays and one shows a link when previewing.

I just had to make some adjustments to the image settings.

Thanks!

Keep'em com'in!

I think so. hard to keep up. I'm still using Vista on my home PC, and Windows 7 on my laptop.

Thanks nnuut! I reported all of this misalignments to the designer of this "skin". Hopefully I'll get a quick reply.

I think that is the 5.0 version.

Posted a video in music videos. Put the link between youtube. The video appeared twice. Twice may not be good for this video to some people.

Figured it out. Just copy the link, don't use the youtube thingy. Has it always been like this?

It looks funny

OK Its different. Will it work with my stupidphone, that is the question.

Soon. I haven't bought / loaded that feature yet. As soon as we clear some of the outstanding issues.

When I first logged in this afternoon, the fancy Home page showed up. When I went back to `Really Read' it I could only get the original home page. In fact, it seems that the only New page I have is the Forums. Did you do something with it that I can't find it?

I did do something with it, but it may resurface another day once I work on it. Right now it contains info unrelated to our site.

There has always been 2 ways to do it but it is a little different with this version.
