Hi All,
Thanks for your patience and support during this upgrade.
The SKYLIGHT skin is fully functional. Please feel free to use it and report issues if any.
It will be good if you report issues with numbers going in consecutive order, so we can keep track and resolve immediately.
Also, please mention the browser you are using.
Thanks,
1. While using Mozilla Firefox, on the main Forum page, under What's going on, the current user list is not wrapped and is crossing the grid.
Cheers,
Arlette

Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]
2. IE8 Bookmarks sub window not collapsible
3. Thread information not collapsible
4. tags for this thread: unnecessary & uncollapsible
5. system doesn't store the collapsing so every time it pops up again
6. too much redundant information: tabs members list; calendar
7. dates not in ISO format
8. Can't TAB out of the REPLY box to the Submit buttons, very "mouse-centric"
9. There is no menu-bar link to http://www.excelforum.com/usercp.php which is the best "landing" point for the forum as it is the only spot that shows you your current active threads with responses waiting to be read. This should be a prominant/dominant "default" link on the menu bar.
10. Version numbers are missing from posts, so no reference to work from regarding OPs (I can see MY version in the upper right corner of my posts)
11. Is there a simpler "attachments" window, the old one was significantly easier to use than this one (new one also extremely "mouse centric"

12. no indicator of 'fullness' of PM box
13. the advantage of a table is that it contains 'headers'. Redundant information in every forum views/replies in column header and those words repeated in every row. Previous forum skin : two columns: 1 views, 1 replies; per row only the number of views/replies. Please remember in visual ergonomy: less is more.
14. redundant icons/buttons/hyperlinks. To go 'to the top' are 4 different icons/buttons/hyperlinks; please reduce to 1
I still do not see a spot where I can change skins? Is it only available outside the folders? inside a thread? in my profile? :-/ I am on Windows Explorer 8

Hey JBeaucaire,
Will get the team to work on this8. Can't TAB out of the REPLY box to the Submit buttons, very "mouse-centric"
This is now achieved with the Settings link at the top right corner of your screen.9. There is no menu-bar link to http://www.excelforum.com/usercp.php which is the best "landing" point for the forum as it is the only spot that shows you your current active threads with responses waiting to be read. This should be a prominant/dominant "default" link on the menu bar.
What version number are you talking about?10. Version numbers are missing from posts, so no reference to work from regarding OPs (I can see MY version in the upper right corner of my posts)
Will let you know if this can be simplified.11. Is there a simpler "attachments" window, the old one was significantly easier to use than this one (new one also extremely "mouse centric"
Hey SNB (again !!!
For now its available at the lower section of your inbox. Will check if we can get it moved up.12. no indicator of 'fullness' of PM box
Working in skylight skin, will be working shortly on default skin.13. the advantage of a table is that it contains 'headers'. Redundant information in every forum views/replies in column header and those words repeated in every row. Previous forum skin : two columns: 1 views, 1 replies; per row only the number of views/replies. Please remember in visual ergonomy: less is more.
Will check this out.14. redundant icons/buttons/hyperlinks. To go 'to the top' are 4 different icons/buttons/hyperlinks; please reduce to 1
In the 'settings' page 4 buttons to go to the top
in every page 2 times calender
2 times new posts (what's new)

Thanks SNB & ConneXionLost. Will get it rectified.
15. This problem occurs in Google Chrome but not with IE. When I hit the "+ Reply to thread" button that just takes me to the "Quick Reply" box rather than the "normal" reply box - that makes it difficult to use some of the "advance" options that aren't there with Quick Reply, like adding attachments
