Welcome to the new forum!

I'm having trouble with text colors on one computer only; the messages are all invisible until I scroll over them then I can read it. Only one computer out of three, though, my settings must be off on that one.

I had that problem too. I was using IE8 at work (my office likes to punish us) and I had to highlight posts so I could see them. I changed the browser to IE9 (my only other choice) and the text is coming through just fine. Change your web browser and that problem fixes itself. If you have a choice of what you can use, I recommend Google Chrome. I use that on my home notebook.

New interfaces always take some getting used to, but on its face this looks like a huge upgrade.

The only comment I would make is the blue lines dividing posts are a bit too light - i.e. not enough contrast against the white background.

Agree - That's also going to be changed.

Also, post counts don't show. Now, I didn't slave away years of my life to build up this massive, dorkish 25,300+ post count just so that nobody can see it. I need everyone to know how important and active I am on this forum.

That will be turned on later tonight when I add the other cool profile feature I'm installing

Unfortunately the computer I was referring to is also at work and the choice of browser isn't one I get to make. It's workable like this just a little annoying. Thanks for narrowing it down, if anyone knows how to change IE8 settings so this doesn't happen I'd love to know.

Kontra,

Look at it this way. If your supervisor happens to look over your shoulder some day, it might be a good idea not to reflect those 25000 posts of slaving away.

I keep singing but nothing happens except my wife getting wicked pissed

I always sing when I sign. Try it, it works better.

BTW, my flag does not wave and it's windy here.

Couple questions: is there an "edit" function if you want to revise a post? I don't see any. Also, will we have the "animated" smilies available at some point?

 

[BritPat]

There is a process running that is preventing me from completing a couple of Add-Ons, but there are some cool things coming that will be available later on once this is done updating.

But we're up and running

Ian, it's as stylish as hell, I love it. Well done sir!

I like the new forums, Ian. Very clean and easy to navigate. Loads much faster for me, too, now. Thanks for the dedication and hard work!

It should be at the bottom of your post, Tune. Where it says your name, how long ago you posted. There should be options for "Edit, Delete, Report."

I get my job done and have an extremely high rate of productivity. My join date was October of 2006 so most of those posts have been made over a period of 8 years. Christ almighty... I've been here for almost a decade.

I have a feeling those options aren't showing up in Google Chrome because they aren't showing up when I post.

Tune - are you using Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or IE?

I am using Chrome and everything seems fine for me.

It's not there, and I looked via both Firefox and Safari. And while I'm here: is there an option for clicking on the number of responses to see WHO responded in a thread, like we had on the old forum?

It's a permissions thing because the "VIP" designation was a custom usergroup that I created so it wasn't recognized by the software. I'll need to reset that, which I'll do later on. Hang with me a bit on that

Kontra - I hope that Ian puts up a "Longevity" trophy.. I know that there are a few of us who would get it. I know that I have been through at least one post count reset and a I think 2 board migrations now..

No.. You get it done NOW.. *LOL* KIDDING.. Always have patience for you doing things, Ian.

Looking forward to being able to edit posts soon..

 

[dales804]

Love the new alerts feature, too. Much easier than before and like that you can see when a post of yours is quoted.

Yeah we're also featured on the "featured members" portion of the forum that shows up before you sign in. It just hit me that I've been here almost ten years. I'm getting old (at age 27).

Ian, any more smilies on the horizon. I miss :bricks: the most personally.
