SCHEDULED FORUM MAINTENANCE - Friday, July 18th

[AlexThePalex]

Overall look is nice. Profile pictures are a bit big though, looks like a comic book.

Main post text definitely needs to be darker, the light gray makes it difficult to read.

Agreed - some of us aren't 21 anymore!

Overall look is very clean - kind of Apple-esque. I like it!

Shane already indicated he is going to be working on the theme.  As for the current one: my biggest complaints are that practically everything is too big (wastes screen space) - mainly the buttons at the top - and that there is too much wasted space at the sides of the page when on a wide-screen monitor.

 

[wow]

Thanks for the hard work Shane. I could trade you some webadmin time for some bandage time if you'd like?

OH - and I checked the member list to make sure I was still there. Yup...but I moved up to page 2.

[wink]

So now I'm checking to see if inline images work:

Pause...

Edit: Nope - just as Shane said they wouldn't.

Your profile picture is from an animation (I hope, if not.........)

The profile pics are actually the exact same size as before the upgrade. 150 pixels square.

Tapatalk should be back up and running now.

I adjust the color of the post text to make it darker.

Basically, you start with a template for the look and feel of the forum and then you can tweak it. I'm still tweaking...

I like the new format, Shane.  I'm noticing, though, that on (rare) occasion, a page will come up in the old format.  Have you seen that?

You can either clear your browser's cache, or hit Ctrl+F5 in your browser in Windows which will force the page to reload from the internet rather than from its cache. That should fix it. I had it happen once so far.

So noted.  Thanks.

Big job, expertly done, in jig time with no mess...must be a FESTOOL guy!
Shane I like it and it seems a bit faster to load.

Quick question..if the little box beside the username is green does it mean their still online?

Oh and are you sure we can't coax you over here, as soon as we gain independence we (Scotland) will be like Monaco...I'm trying to design some systainer racking for a Ferrari just in case!
Loving your work.

Yes, green box means online. White box means not online.

Thanks for the compliments, Scott. Just doing my part the best I can.

All your hard work is appreciated. Must take up a lot of your time

Nice, clean look. Good job, Shane.

It'll take a little getting used, I keep thinking I've logged on to the wrong site.  [smile]

One other note on Tapatalk..

I am running ios8 beta 3 right now (not sure if others are as well) but in Tapatalk, most things work fine.  There is one major exception.  When you access the "unread" section, it will load the posts.  but when you click on one of them, it will crash the app.  I have reported the bug to the Apple team and the Tapatalk team but wanted to let others know if they are part of the Beta program as well.  I am sure it will all be fixed before the new release this fall.

FYI, I like the new layout Shane.  Very 2.0  [wink]

I notice that you can no longer see where your fellow members are from- Is that on purpose?  Kinda liked that...

 

[Daver]

I'm still tweaking...

Shane

Okay. We're going to need a first aid systainer from Wow. Stat. Somebody with at least EMT-level training, a Cooltainer from corporate filled with orange juice or?(not really sure what's going to help here).. we will get you 'back down', Shane.

LOL!

Thanks for all your hard work, Shane. The site is looking great!
Dave ;D

 

[Motown]

Love the new site. Much cleaner and it may be a small change but I really like the darker font for the text threads. Thanks guys!

If you click on the Member's name or his avatar it will take you to his member page what his location is identified - if allowed.
