I am now set at Central European time. Time in UK 23.24

I am now set at Central European time. Time in UK 23.24

So this now looks correct, but I find this most galling that I should be aligned with Europe!

Everything seems OK.  The grey print could be darker but not a problem.  No issues with the blue.  The time is definitely an hour behind UK.

OK Phil, where is the new topic button ?

[Techno II]

Hi, Ian..
Just as example...If you want to post something new in 'Forum Info'.....Click on Forum Info on the opening page of  the forum...there should ne a new topic button on the top right hand side (along with a few others) on the next page.

You may not see have of the others that I can see....so I won't list them.

Cheers - Phil.

On mobile screens you need to tap User Actions then it'll appear with the normal options like New Topic.

That's odd....this morning, the unread posts has twice said I haven't read something..even after I've posted a reply, and my reply is the latest post.

That could get irritating.

Cheers - Phil.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Noticed that as well

The forum 'clock' still seems to be on British Summer time.

Cheers - Phil.

The forum 'clock' still seems to be on British Summer time.

Cheers - Phil.

Nah, it would be an hour ahead.

[Techno II]

    

D'Oh......You're right, Martyn.....

I say the same thing every blanking time the clocks change...."Why, oh, why can't we just stay on British Summertime....Or GMT".....I don't care which.....Just stop messing around with my body clock, twice a year !!

I feel a letter 'to the editor' brewing..

Cheers - Phil.

We are getting close to getting rid of BST - was delayed by the pandemic. 

[Techno II]

About time.

If I disappear for a good few days..don't be surprised....I'm either a) getting a load of grief from Firefox..which doesn't seem to like the new forum...b) the new forum is playing silly sods...(Good grief.....Slow..hanging or what ?) ...or c) the main incoming telecomm junction box on one of the walls of Techno Towers is full of water (again). (BT needs to change that...FINALLY.)

Carrier pigeons would be more reliable at the mo.

Forbes.....Truly, don't go there and tell me to calm down....I'll go ballistic.

Cheers - Not at all calm of Pembrokeshire.

Phil,

I'm using Firefox and the forum is smooth as silk, apart from the system clock being wrong (should be an easy fix) it is behaving as I'd expect so I'd suspect the junction box.

As to standardising on GMT, more reason Scotland should be independent IMHO.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Phil - calm down calm down !!!

[fred.]

Phil - calm down calm down !!!

That was Ian, not me!


I agree that those technical problems sound at your end. I'm finding the new forum software great - so much better on a phone.

As to BST vs GMT can't recall which was the choice going forwards, but it was the swapping of the hour that was going.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

It were defo Forbes !!!

I've got a softer blue on my list here and we're going to look at the font sizes as well.

Not sure what has been done with the font but overall the forum seems much better and easier to read (by me).  Personally, I still find the blue too strident on the eye.
