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!

Quote from: Heedless Horseman on 10 November 2021, 04:09:54 AMOk... so far, but screen is a bit 'bright'... or Fonts could be bigger/ bolder?

Quote from: slugbalancer on 10 November 2021, 09:51:05 AMI agree with the above.  Can it be changed or can we be given control of what we see?

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.

This can be changed in your profile settings - use WYSIWIG editor - there are others in there that might sort some of the other changes that people have noticed

Ok I'm back of the class as usual.   I used to see the content of all recent posts (regardless of topic) on one screen.  On the home page now I can see unread posts that have been made by topic  but not the content until I click into the specific topic.

What combination of buttons, clicks and magic incantations do I need to get back to the full list of recent posts?

Other than that, it looks nice.  Which vallejo code is that blue?

DecemDave

Sorry  found it
" View the most recent posts on the forum." under forum stats near the bottom of the home page.
And you will need the magic incantantion  " WTF@##??computers@@k"

QuoteWhat do the buddies and ignore lists do?

Not a clue.....But you probably knew that already.

If you want to try, Nobby.....I'll make you a buddy....and you can do the same for me..and we'll see what happens.

It'll probably just make things more complicated. :'(  :'(

Cheers - Phil  :)

Techno II

Right, Nobby...

You're now a Buddy. :-bd

Seeing as we both know each others phone numbers and e'mails..I'm really not sure what this does.
Something to do with PMs through the forum ?

Cheers - Phil :)

I dunno. Doesn't seem to make a lot of difference.  :-\


I may need to consult you on the member(s) I've added to the "ignore" list.
