Vai & Shub,
Any updates?
I'd also like to know if the "Latest Posts" section along the left side of the page can be removed. It's just wasted space.
Paul i think that we will have to live with many of the requests and bugs mentioned in this thread, there seems to be no movement on repairing any of these faults.
Of course if Vai wants to hire me to fix some stuff every man has his price!, i think
Simon, I absolutely LOVE what you are doing at www.thecodecage.com.
It's great to have a forum where user input is instantly translated into new and working functionality.
Your new skin for mobile devices is great! It takes about a minute or so to load an Excelforum page on my mobile. On www.thecodecage.com any page loads in a snap. FANTASTIC!!
Also, great stuff with the VBA code buttons and the attach file buttons on the quick reply box. That makes answering posts sooooo much easier.
If anyone is looking for a forum where user input is valued, try www.thecodecage.com
cheers

What's wrong with pointing out things that work and praising people who care?
After all, being ignored will only work for a limited time.
If Simon was hired back to fix things in this forum, the place would thrive. If the owner prefers the groping-in-the-dark, trial-and-error, "whoops- try again" approach, then that's a choice he makes.
If other forums are more responsive to usability requests, I'm happy to advertise them.
It's not a link in my sig, so no rules have been broken.
BTW: www.ozgrid.com is also a great resource. As is www.mrexcel.com. Or www.experts-exchange.com.
That should even out the score. Still, www.thecodecage.com has a great future ahead. Somehow I doubt that this forum will manage to keep up.

Nothing at all, I've registered at www.thecodecage.com and will check it out as soon as I have a chance.
Look forward to seeing how things should be done.

I know it used to be. Since they switched to a pay-per-thread model and with Dave being the only moderator, I honestly like this site much better, functionality issues included. Still some good answers and good contributors on it, though.Originally Posted by teylyn
The Ozgrid is still great for resources!

Many people work etc. on the run so keeping up with the use of a PDA or mobile is really handy, most sites that you view through these devices aren't full functional (as it really doesn't translate that well to mobile) but are FULL text, so in answer no its not short text snippets, you're confusing it with sms an entirely different interfaceThe Ozgrid is still great for resources!

Hi
I am still quite new to the forum but might I suggest a minor addition to the new format?
When I go
Find all posts by Marcol
The returned list is fine, but would it be possible to add the OP to the Thread Title/Header?
It tells me I posted it!, but to who?
With so many similar titles, I at least, would find this a great help.
Respectfully
Alistair
@Marcol, the List Subscriptions within your User CP will provide a list of threads you have posted in, thread title and OP.
Of course you will have to turn on your subscription option.
Thanks Andy
I didn't know this.
Subscription usually suggests money to me! Something I have very little of !!!
I'll give it a go
EDIT
I wondered how you guys did it!
This will save me ages ploughing through old posts, and it's FREE!
Many Thanks

Oddly enough, the 'Latest Posts' section along the left-hand side is there in IE8, but not there in Firefox 3.5.8. I wonder if it's because I'm using AdBlocker Plus in Firefox, or if it's just another one of those "works in one browser but not others" deal.
I'm back on the old skin and most of the "not working" troubles and browser inconsistencies have gone away.

Back on the old skin also. There are several warts that I've not previously mentioned (like font changes for indented text, message preview not WYSIWYG), but I'll sit on those now that the long-awaited reorganization is underway.
Wonder how that's coming ...
