Feedback : New design for the Board

[Simon Lloyd]

...........We are working on your suggestion.. with in few days all problem will be solved...

if you have any query then DM to me..

your feedback is very important to us...

I guess he's been reading the Vai book of communication, i also think they read the same dictionary for the definitions of "feedback" & "important".

Shub, Vai....or whoever from the owners of this site last replied 5 days ago, one of their posts was claiming that the code font was now monospace in all browsers.

Makes you wish you could pickett outside their workplace!

I haven't posted here much lately and other than checking in for a laugh i don't think i'll post again, a forum that is run selfishly and haphazard (apart from my own ......what? you have to have double standards ) is no good for me or anyone else, take a look at http://www.ozgrid.com

shub, seeing that you're intensely scrutinising the Programming Forum threads instead of giving us some feedback on the state of things, maybe a little subliminal messaging is more likely to reach you.

Sub liminal()

    Dim i As Long
    Dim s As String
    
    For i = 0 To 4
        s = s & Chr((-87 * i ^ 4 + 542 * i ^ 3 - 1053 * i ^ 2 + 646 * i + 2616) / 24)
    Next i
   
    For i = 0 To 4
        s = s & Chr((-114 * i ^ 4 + 752 * i ^ 3 - 1578 * i ^ 2 + 1156 * i + 2448) / 24)
    Next i
    
    For i = 0 To 3
          s = s & Chr((-316 * i ^ 3 + 876 * i ^ 2 - 344 * i + 2448) / 24)
    Next i
    
    For i = 0 To 2
         s = s & Chr((-114 * i ^ 2 + 114 * i + 420) / 6)
    Next i
    For i = 0 To 4
        s = s & Chr((-116 * i ^ 4 + 836 * i ^ 3 - 1972 * i ^ 2 + 1540 * i + 2376) / 24)
    Next i
    
    MsgBox s
End Sub

cheers

Whose bright idea was it to make the code font virtually invisible ?

Why do you continue to test on a live environment ?

I for one am not prepared to continue Moderating on a site run in this manner - it makes me look unprofessional by association.

[teylyn]

Ah..., but finally code tags are now delivering mono spaced font in Firefox, too. Finally. I mean, after weeks of asking!!. Never mind that they now render light grey on slightly darker grey in IE. Who uses IE, anyway, LOL!

This looks like "War of the browsers". Fix a prob in one, genereate another in the other.

Oh, man! How nice it'd be to have competent people at the CSS end!!

Sub liminal()

Ha ha ha Sub liminal!!!!! Very funny!! Not bad at all.

Is it possible to (for example) next to New post (Replay) button there can be also SOLVED button (for thread oppener)?

[teylyn]

@Dominicb

For a German

Pardon? Everyone knows that the slimmest volumes ever published in the history of printed literature were the "Irish Book of Heros", the "German Book of Humour", and the "American Cultural Guide".

[LIST][*]Restore monospace code fonts in all browsers. Restore the string "Code" that appears just above the code box to its former small size. Remove the blank space that now appears from the end of code to the bottom of the code box, even when the closing code tag immediately follows the last line of code.

Done.....

[*]Restore showing only unread posts as bold

Done...

[*]Reorganize the forum hierarchy

we will start a new thread for restructuring after completion the design & CSS work

[*]Reskin if there is some consensus as to what it should be, or offer several skins.

We are working on this option

[*]Restore link to forum rules in navigation/menu bar at the top

Done....

[*]Please change navigation bar font to something other than white so when the nav bar breaks into several lines on a PDA or mobile phone screen, the menu items are still recognisable and can again be used on a mobile device (like they could with the old skin)

Done...

[*]Colour of Forum fonts for print out readability

Done....

[DonkeyOte]

Good to see some action but the below:

we will start a new thread for restructuring after completion the design & CSS work

still defies logic... if your car was involved in an accident such that it no longer started and had a huge scratch along the side - which would you opt to fix first - the engine or the paintwork ?

[zbor]

Depends do you want to sell it for spare parts or to use it

[DonkeyOte]

In order to sell it you first need someone who wants to buy it... even for scrap...

Hijack over - keep the thread on track - progress is (at last) being made.

not quite. there's still a large space in the code box after the last code statement. It's not a show stopper, but it's distracting. Nice to see mono font in FF now, though!

[*]Restore showing only unread posts as bold

Thanks. Much better!

Where? When? Can we have a timeline/ETA, please?

Gold! Finally able to (again!) access vital forum functions on the mobile

Any feedback to the community about the forum course, strategy and implementation time frame??? We all know that the goal is to become the "best", "biggest", or so. Maybe you want to share your ideas on how to achieve this? Like how to secure expert advice, MS MVP contributions, continued activities of active moderators, incentives for regulars who add value???

[shub]

we are planning a new twitter option with thread post....

(Mod....)are you interested in this option ?..

send me your feedback.....

[shub]

Where? When? Can we have a timeline/ETA, please?

next 3-4 days we will start a new thread for restructuring

@Dominicb Pardon? Everyone knows that the slimmest volumes ever published in the history of printed literature were the "Irish Book of Heros", the "German Book of Humour", and the "American Cultural Guide".

You missed out the "English Cookery book"
