Am I the only one who's noticed...

The time and date stamps seem to be out of sync? It's not yet 8pm CST yet several messages show they are posted on 1/15

[moon/Laura]

it's supposed to pick up your time from your computer. And mine is displaying properly, at least on the mobile app

Everything in on GMT.

I'd like to see the "<< 1 2 3 >> ("previous page", "page numbers", "next page") buttons on the bottom of the thread ... just above the "Quick Reply" box ... as well as at the top of the thread. It would eliminate scrolling back to the top to advance to the next page.

And this Quick Reply box doesn't wrap the text I'm typing.


And when I went back to EDIT this post .... everything was on one line. It just put "br" (line breaks) wher I used the "Return" (or "Enter") key.

My time stamps are all "posted 5 minutes ago" "posted 6 hours ago" etc

[moon/Laura]

steady, the page indicator you see at the top of the page 'floats' down the screen with you. don't need one on the bottom too. and i'm not sure why your quick reply didn't wrap. mine did.

Where's the "new topics button"?

[kgb18]

There's a "Create Thread" button at the top right, Swamp.

[moon/Laura]

OK.. time issue fixed. default should be eastern now.

[mtman]

And this is supposed to be better than what we had???

New Topics is New Participated in the top right hand corner.

Floats? Where is it? I went on a thread with more than one page and there's no floating anything, anywhere.
Also, when I hit the quote button, the whole post completely runs off the page and I can't see it or respond to it.

[weltschmerz]

This sucks.

[weltschmerz]

.....and the last post was written at 01h04, not 18h04.

Evidently, everything works fine if you're an administrator. Otherwise, not so much.

for the love of pete would you please QUOTE properly so people can tell it's an actual quote? it's not that hard to do! and the page indicator IS THERE. it's right above the first post!

as for time stamps, i don't see an actual time for most of them. i see it was made x hrs (and/or) minutes ago. i set the forum default time to eastern.

[weltschmerz]

For the love of Pete, I CAN'T quote!! If I hit "quote", the whole post runs off to the right snd disappears.

[weltschmerz]

...and since it disappears, I can't reply to it. It won't let me.

[moon/Laura]

what browser and OS are you using? i have to go get ready for work so i won't be back to check for a couple of hours.. but i will be rolling stuff up to Martyn later.

[Virgil Showlion]

It could be the skin you're using too, Weltz.

I'm using the MSN Money skin, and I've noticed the layout is significantly wider than the default. That could be because the few CSS modifications I've made thus far only apply to that skin.

I certainly hope I don't need to make identical changes to every single skin in this thing.

[Virgil Showlion]

Ah, curses.

It does have to be applied separately to every skin.

I've applied it to all of the V- skins. Try VSilver, Weltz. It's easy on the eyes.

[Jaguar]

Moon thank you for bringing the Misty Water Skin over, I looked for it last night.

[tloonya]

I thought this thread going to be about me not posting as used to>
However...I want to say:
1. Why to improve whatwas good on the first place?
2. I can't post emoticon, just clicking on it and nothing happening
3. Skin of the 'improved' forum looks like a playground for tots
4. I hate it! Can I use the old version instead like MS Office gives you the option?

[moon/Laura]

1. Why to improve whatwas good on the first place?
Old coding technology had to be updated
2. I can't post emoticon, just clicking on it and nothing happening
just trying one out..
3. Skin of the 'improved' forum looks like a playground for tots
huh? what skin are you using? the default? maybe you should try a different one- not like we don't have about 35+ to choose from. or maybe you'd like to do it yourself, since you're an obvious expert?
4. I hate it! Can I use the old version instead like MS Office gives you the option?
NOPE

[The Captain]

Ok boys and girls, suck it up buttercups. Change is just that, change. A year from now we will all LOVE the improvements and wonder how we ever managed to survive on the old format...

Moon and Virgil, everything considered I think the transition is going great!

(ETA however I can't seem to find where to put in emotioncons or spell check so I appear to be doomed - 3insert blushing emotiocon here#)

[moon/Laura]

there is a smiley icon at the far right of the formatting bar, both in quick reply and full reply. virgil is still working on redoing his widget but in the meantime, i may install a plugin ..

This.  Also, just testing to see if I'm intelligent enough to quote/post in the new format. 

[The Captain]

Ok so I see the emotiocons on the quick reply bar (I do not see a full reply bar). I also do not have any emotiocons available when quoting someone. I say Virgils' other post on the spell check etc. and apologize for jumping the gun. Just excited to figure out the new format!


ETA - All I know is that I have my flaming snow leapord avatar so all is right in the world (thanks Virgil!)

[moon/Laura]

the button for full reply is located on the far right of the bar that says quick reply.

[tloonya]

Well...I don't know how to change the skin!
And also which skin is more like an old one?

The default skin is pretty similar to the old one.   I am using that now.
