pike, your tag is all over the place in FF. Could you re-work your formatting, please?
hi,
"Mark Thread as solved" option bugs resolved..... now this option not closed your thread.....
I'm still a little sad about this one. I was really growing fond of the idea of an OP being able to close their own thread. Oh well... perhaps another option in the THREAD TOOLS available to OP and Mods only... "CLOSE THREAD".Originally Posted by shub
My #1 wish-list now is getting colors in CODE tags back.

I think it's worth noting that the Thread Tools "Mark as solved" does not mark the thread solved the same way, it adds [SOLVED] to the title rather than setting the PREFIX box. I don't know if that will have any other implications...

Does anyone know what's up with this thread? For me, it goes way over to the right and I have to scroll to see it all, rather than wrapping as other threads do.
Since the formula is typed with no spaces, the formula tries to show continuosly until it runs of out of room then continues on next cell..
I added code tags around it so that it is now "pretty".

Before, I thought the max # of consecutive characters allowed was 100 before it automatically added a space to break it up (which led to a couple problems when OPs tried to copy and paste formulas that didn't have code tags). This setting must have gotten changed somehow.
Thanks for the cleanup.
if it was changed, nobody has been told.
In the old times, when Simon was still managing these things, changes like these would have been dicussed and announced.

Having joined the forum a few years ago, and joined the moderating ranks shortly thereafter, I've seen the past two or three management styles. Those who've been around longer probably remember more.
While I don't agree with some of the methods used in implementing the new skin/functionality, I'm willing to let those who pay for the site control how it is managed. Are there things I would like see changed - the forum groupings, for one - sure. Could there have been better preparation, definitely. Better communication to the moderators at a minimum - you bet.
There is a great group of people here that enjoy volunteering their time helping others, and I for one will do so whether there is a pink background, variable width code fonts or multiple icon sets. As for moderation, some may choose not to stick around - and all the power to them, it's 100% their choice - I do it because I must have some obsessive gene to control things. It kills me that I can't go to other Excel forums and slap some people around.
I recognize that this site is a business, and businesses can prosper or fail, improve or degrade, it happens all the time in real life. The key to this business is to 1) attract new "customers" and 2) to keep the helpful ones sticking around to help those from group 1. You can't please everyone all the time. Most new users will never even know, outside of reading this thread, that anything ever changed at all. Whether that's to their benefit or not is yet to be seen.
Sorry for the novella, but I just feel everyone needs to be patient as fixes are applied to something that has already happened and is not going to be undone. Bring up the fixes that should still be done, perhaps in a follow-up post every few days; but realize that some things are truly not the end of the world when it comes to attracting people to the site. Font adjustments, multi-browser 100% compatibility, coloring,.. all nice to have. I guarantee none of them, if advertised on some Excel recruiting site, would influence someone needing help on their budget spreadsheet due in 12 hours to skip ExcelForum.com and go somewhere else, though.
Just my feelings, in my laid-back midwesterner style. Keep on postin'.
P.S. The thing that brought me to this site back in 2007 was how helpful the people were, not the site design. I started answering users' questions immediately as best I could, and enjoyed the feedback from those smarter than me as they came up with awesome formulas and macros. I was proud to have been asked to join the moderating team after some time, and have enjoyed the time I've spent helping others and helping the forum. Cheers.
well said ........

Re: Feedback : New design for the Board
Totally agree with you Paul, things could have been much better if it was all discussed with mods, lesson learnt
I am sure people still come to the board and see similar helpful nature and become a part of this ever growing community !!
