Feedback : New design for the Board

[Simon Lloyd]

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.

Its there in Firefox for me so it must be the blocker

They're good people, if they have stepped down or refrained from posting or moderating its because thats the only way they have of getting though to the owners of this board to try to make them:

1. Clear up oustanding bugs..etc listed throught this thread
2. Change the organisation of the forums
3. Get rid of non related forums
4. Quit testing on live environments
5. Communicate well and in a timely manner
6. Listen to and treat with respect the people that drive and care about this board and its future

I just checked .. situation stable .. Buisness as usual .. owner and side kick missing in action

The promises of comminication seem to have gone by the wayside:

Checking back to around page 5 or 6 i notice there really isn't a good ratio of owner/member posts.

For some strange reason we can't access the site this morning from the UK, its fine from elsewhere?

Anyway, Vai, Shub any further feedback for us on the issues raised in this thread?

[martindwilson]

Yeah, i queued for weeks to get on the one PC that we have between us all, rumours are we're getting another this year!

Apart from the forum moving like frozen molasses today:

Has anyone been playing with the CSS for the old skin? All the font sizes are off. Both in IE as in FF on different systems.

Anyone else seeing this?
The numbers in the thread and post count coulumn of the main forum view are huge, the text for the forum titles and posts is larger than it was. I can't find a zoom level where everything is readable.

Is this a ploy to put people off the old skin? It's more likely to put us off the forum alltogether!

[royUK]

Since changing back tothe old skin & using Google Chrome I have had no problems

[Domski]

It's a bit sluggish but otherwise seems fine on IE6 which we're still using at work. Maybe you should downgrade.

As for Crusoe and Friday maybe we should send out a search party!!!

[Simon Lloyd]

Has anyone had any feedback from Shub or Vai as to the remaining issues or forum slowdown?

[NBVC]
