OT- Forum layout change=forum doesnt work as well

[beversman 0]

yes, problems...

i just lost a very long post that id spent alot of time typing.

And the layout with the banner down the right side... with all the ads... it only contributes to the problem (taking up space)

But if they are helping fund the site and keep it up and running... we can deal.

Good luck with the "bugs"

How did you "loose" your long post ? PLEASE PM me with details.

I am in awe that you can actually do all this changing, and keep things up and going!!!

Right in the middle of your update, the junk ads, and porn junk that I reported, were done away with almost instantly---even amid all the work you were doing!! Great job!

I can deal with and understand the ads---I also have no problem with a financial contribution.

Having skin options is a cool feature, I look forward to seeing what you have planned.

At this point the only thing that has really disappointed me, is the new posts list at the top of the home page being eliminated---it brought me into contact with members I may not have ever met without a thread title jumping out at me. This way I pretty much stay in my little corner of the subscribed threads. I'll miss the interaction. Like Laurend said, you can bounce around with the New Post option at the top, if you want though, so it is not gone, just hidden!

Good Luck on the remaining upgrades and changes!

If you click the new post button it brings up ALL the posts that you have not read. It is working. I use that all the time so that I can see what has been posted since I was last here. Most things are working without issue now. During the change over I have started copying my post so if they disappear I can just re-paste them and move on. ~Mandy

Yeah, I know, it is just more navigation---that as I admitted, is not that much more difficult, just something I likely won't mess with!!!

Maybe I need a new username---Lazeeeeeeeeee!!!!

My DH says I am aptly named---he laughs at me because I love to lay on the sofa or the bed, when the sun is coming in the window and take a nap.....mmmmm......or should I say puuuurrrrrrrr?

If you click the new post button it brings up ALL the posts that you have not read.

But the problem is that you have to go back to the main page, refresh it, and then go back to the new posts page to get any new threads. If you just keep refreshing the new posts page, all it does is update the threads that were already shown, not add new threads to it. It's not a huge deal, but it makes it more inconvenient.

We're going to put the TOP 5 box back up shortly. We needed to take it down on a temporary basis.

Do you guys and gals find the black text better now ?

[piercedqt78 658]

Yep, the black is much easier to read. Thanks, Mandy

That is way better. My eyes have stopped bleeding.

Keep up the good work.

Another YAY vote for the black text, Alex. My eyes are older than I care to admit.

I like the new look.. As long as the ads aren't 'pop ups', I don't mind them. I did panic about my journal. Since I just had my surgery I wanted to go update it, but can not find it. I will have to scroll back and see about clicking someone's signature someone mentioned.

Also, I'm not sure if it got fixed, but when looking at a thread, the posts weren't formatted right and went double the size of my monitor, so to read them I had to keep scrolling back and forth ><
