wateroftyne Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Hola! I've just come home after being out for a few hours, and like a few others I have 70-odd reply notifications for about three threads. Is it fix-able..? Quote
Evil Undead Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 [quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1316376433' post='1377246'] Agree 100% [/quote] Glad someone does! I can subscribe to topics, can't view my content or threads I'm following... It's so crap! I don't go on a PC often so might now be spending too much time here Quote
Evil Undead Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Or spellcheck, or edit my posts properly it seems. Gah. Do not like. Quote
Steve_nottm Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 [quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1316376433' post='1377246'] Agree 100% [/quote] another +1 awful at the moment. Feel I'm missing out on a shiny new forum Quote
Wooks79 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I just want an option to not use the mobile on my iPhone, then I'm a happy chap! Quote
Clarky Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Sorry, probably been answered but haven't got time to read 10 plus pages - how does one search within a sub forum, eg For sale basses. If I wanted to, say, search for "fretless" with the old site I would just type at the bottom of the FS Basses page and hey presto - now I cannot see any such option? Quote
Ou7shined Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1316376534' post='1377249'] Its lower down, next to the Facebook icons [/quote] ??? Quote
Ou7shined Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 [quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1316376594' post='1377251'] Try a bit lower down ... see button circled in green. [/quote] Nope definitely don't have that. Using IE8 btw. Quote
dave_bass5 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1316377047' post='1377266'] Or spell check, or edit my posts properly it seems. Gah. Do not like. [/quote] Ive lost spell checking using IE9. On all other websites i can select "force spell check" but not on this site. Yes, i can spell but my typing is atrocious :-) Heres a strange thing. I had something typed in the fast/quick reply box. I then scrolled up to your post and hit quote and it put you message in the reply box, in front of the text i had already entered. Ive not seen that before. Handy feature. Quote
BigBeatNut Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1316377318' post='1377274'] ??? [/quote] Looks like it's broken in your browser. Check how it looks to me. Quote
dave_bass5 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1316377318' post='1377274'] ??? [/quote] Now that is strange. I have IE8 at work, ill try it tomorrow unless someone comes up with the answer. Quote
arsenic Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) I noticed that certain text under avatars (interests etc) can over spill into the main text area - post 285 and 292, on page 15 of Silddx's "Chris Squire Electra Evolution" in the Build Diaries forum are an example. Seems that long lines of text with no spaces are not wrapped within the boundaries.....not a big deal, i suppose, but annoying to see text over text. Edit : And it is certainly bright - I have tried to change the contrast/brightness, but cannot seem to find a good compromise - my eyes are hurting and I'm getting a headache.

[/quote] Same for me! I was quite happy with the desktop version on my phone, was great. Quote

[/quote] I've got the same result. In IE8 (windows XP) the button is missing. Get yourself a decent browser, download chrome Quote
Shonks Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 arrrggggggggggg! never had that many emails before- turned off all the notifications - shame you had to repair something that wasn't broke! I preferred the old site much more than this - lets face it - this site aint so important to anyone that we need multiple ways to connect to it. aaarrrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhh! Quote

dave_bass5 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) [quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1316377888' post='1377295'] I've got the same result. In IE8 (windows XP) the button is missing. Get yourself a decent browser, download chrome [/quote] Ive just managed to recreate this by switching IE9 to compatibility mode so it does seem like its not fully compatible with IE8. On the upside ive got my Force Spell check option back so im going to keep it set like this. One step forward, one step back. i do like the fact that finally we can read what's been posted from the email notifications. Edited September 18, 2011 by dave_bass5 Quote

[/quote] Doh ..... the button IS there in IE8 for me ... I just forgot to log in on IE8. Sorry for confusing the issue .... Quote

Ou7shined, have you looked on the left hand side? Its just above the OP's avatar/thread title on my PC. Edited September 18, 2011 by dave_bass5 Quote
ped Posted September 18, 2011 Author Posted September 18, 2011 [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1316374683' post='1377190'] How to subscribe to a thread without actually commenting in it? [/quote] Click 'follow' at the top right of the thread Quote
Shonks Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 must just be me then --- dont like it!! - i'll get on with it anyway I guess Quote
ped Posted September 18, 2011 Author Posted September 18, 2011 [quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1316374958' post='1377198'] My first reaction is that there's far too much white space. The home screen is now three times as long as it used to be. In the forums, a one-line post takes up a lot of space due to the enormous amount of real-estate that is now allocated to username, avatar and all the mostly meaningless twaddle that appears underneath it, and then there's extra space for the Report/Multiquote/Quote buttons. Huge signatures also have too much prominence - it's almost impossible to find any content in the posts by Ou7shined and KiOgon, for example. I'm sure someone will find the new features useful. I think it's a step backwards in readability. [/quote] You can hide signatures if they bother you under the 'ignore' setting in your control panel. Quote
ped Posted September 18, 2011 Author Posted September 18, 2011 [quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1316375044' post='1377199'] And you've broken my avatar. What are those black bars top and bottom? [/quote] Images were copied from the old forum so you may have to re-upload and adjust as you see fit Quote
Ou7shined Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1316378530' post='1377313'] Funny enough ive just noticed it on the left hand side using IE9 in Compatability mode. Ou7shined, have you looked on the left hand side? Its just above the OP's avatar/thread title on my PC. [/quote] Haha I was just coming back to say I found it on the left. Don't know if it was always there as I'm doing this on a 40" screen at a huge HD res and everything is wee. Quote
paul_5 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Looks very nice fellas, thanks for doing this. Just need a couple of days to get used to it, and I'm laughing. Quote
