New forum, first post?

Took me a while to find "Show unread".
But I was up and running once I noticed I had to log in again.

Welcome back folks.

Will check this, once posted, to see whether I'm busted down to private.

[jimduncanuk]

Not sure I like the new look yet.

This will take a few days to seem familiar.

Cheers - Phil.

Back up and running! Yeah!

Liking some bits, other bits are a bit strange (including the reply box being mono spaced - very retro typewriter like)

[Leon]

And we're back...! 

It'll take a bit of getting used to but hopefully it's not too far off what we're all used to.  We can tweak things as we go and make it a bit more 'familiar' where we can.  This upgrade should fix all of the previous bugs as well, so no more apostrophe errors, the Search function should work properly again and the Forum layout is now fixed.

Hope so, Phil (have had to dim my screen - so far, too bright for my old eyes). 

[Heedless Horseman]

Ok... so far, but screen is a bit 'bright'... or Fonts could be bigger/ bolder?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Not found too many bugs yet........  

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

All looking good.
Get ready for normal service from us lot...

I did niffunk, honest guv.

It was just 'there'.

[Heedless Horseman]

Would add that the 'Divider' line between post replies could maybe be emphasised a little more heavily.

I agree with the above.  Can it be changed or can we be given control of what we see?

[Raider4]

So, light grey text on an off-white background isn't easy to read?

Be grateful Disaster Area aren't running the forum . . .

"'It's the wild colour scheme that freaks me out,' said Zaphod, whose love affair with the ship had lasted almost three minutes into the flight. 'Every time you try and operate these weird black controls that are labeled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up in black to let you know you've done it.'"

Is there a "go to most recent post" button on the threads. I know you can jump to the last page by clicking on the number, but it's handy having the jump to most recent post button on the topic list page.

Other than that looking pretty good. Few odd colour issues to get sorted out (like the blue on dark grey text for the topic headers) but looking a lot smoother generally. Much easier to use on the phone as well which is a big plus!

I'll ask about that one.  You can zoom in on the screen as well if you hold Ctrl and press the + symbol.  It works on any website if you want things a bit bigger.  To reduce it again use Ctrl and the - symbol, and to reset back to normal use Ctrl and 0 (zero).

We'll see if the fonts can be made bigger as standard though.

That's interesting as the colours are quite different on my screen here and it's quite easy to see the text.  I'll see what options we've got for tweaking the colours and increasing the font size (requested above) should help with that as well.

Yep, when you're on the home page the last post should show on the right-hand side saying 'Last post: Date' and then underneath there'll be some blue text with 'Re: How are we getting through...'  If you click the blue Re: text it'll take you to the last post.

If you're inside one of the boards it's slightly different and you'd click the blue date and time in that same location instead, so 'November 10, 2021, 13:38 by Leon' or something like that.

Ah that was the bit I was missing, couldn't see the header as it was dark on dark so hadn't realised that's what that was. Cheers.

Nice new forum Leon - all very mod cons & all that

My website isn't showing, what am I doing wrong?
