When we went from the standard forum skin to the one we just changed many of the coments were the same as now. "I don't like the size/color/contrast". Guys give it time. You have just woken up to find your partner of 5 years has had a face lift. Still the some gal, just a few changes to get use to.
Just a note when you use a smart phone you are more likely to use an app rather than a traditional browser. So the layout will not be what you see on a computer screen.
What app do you use to browse this site? I always use the built in browser.
One suggestion I can think of is an increase in the amount of "recently posted" posts, I used to just cruize though the recently active ones, maybe double the amount currently on offer?
Hi Joe
Great evolution, good to see ongoing change, ASF is a great community.
I'm even starting to upload my pics.
Looking forward to a turbo charged NBN driven Mark IV.
Hi Joe!
Hope you don't get too stressed out with change of Webpage.
Just wander, why new design had to be so difficult to implement?
Was this Web Forum specifically developed for you?
Or it was one off the shelf and all the changes that make you tear hair out are some improvements that were not part of original design?
joe,
great hub and I hope the traffic contnues to grow......
cheers and merry christmas
may we all have a prosperous 2011
Agree here. On the old format you didn't have to use the drop down box to see if there were any private messages. Now you have to specifically think about checking this. If we have previously enabled notification via email of PM's, will this continue?
Agree absolutely. It becomes so annoying to see repetitive spelling and grammar mistakes. If there were some sort of spell/grammar check, it might actually help the people who have trouble in this respect.
Joe, what is the purpose of this upgrade? Presumably it offers additional features which I have yet to discover.
Joe, scrub my comment about the slower speed. It's fine. Maybe just needed to get warmed up or something.
(I'll now duck for cover after such a technologically illiterate remark).
Joe, the "New Posts" link changes positions when you go into a thread, so the menu selections alter their positions depending on where you are.
missing the quick search by title, now have to go the Advanced Search and fill out a form
The amount of recently posted posts was designed to fit the new website design. For more, click on the "New Posts" link in the navigation bar. For even more posts than that, click on the "Quick Links" drop down menu and select "Today's Posts".
Hi Joe
Do we still have a "chat" room?
The access tab used to be on the top tab bar, is there a new link?
Joe I really really really liked the change when you excluded the general chat forum from the Home page on the last layout. We have now lost that feature? Especially in the new posts section?
Will check into this. It should still be there, and is on my browser, but it could just be that it's still in the cache.
Joe, is there a bigger limit now on private messages? I was just over 90% full on the old system a couple of days ago, but can't see anywhere to tell if I am near capacity now?
It should be the same as no changes have been made. Check down at the bottom of the page of your inbox and you'll see details of what % you have used in a section labelled "Folder Controls".
I'm liking this more than the last upgrade Joe. It's instantly pleasing to me.
Now that it has the whole facebook intergration thing, I was wondering if we could "Like" a post, like how you can on Facebook?
PS. Looking forward to a dedicated ASF iPhone app!
