SCHEDULED FORUM MAINTENANCE - Friday, July 18th

[Wooden Skye]

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I really like the new layout.  The one thing that is frustrating to me is when looking at the recent posts section at the bottom, I liked the actual time of the posts rather than 3 hours ago or similar.

See if the recent posts looks better now, for those with issues on its appearance.

Clear your browser cache and see if they reappear.

I have cleared the cache twice and still the same. I realise that it other people are okay that the problem is with my setup.

Does anyone have any other suggestions please?

... the recent posts section at the bottom, I liked the actual time of the posts rather than 3 hours ago or similar.

I was going to make the same comment. Showing how long ago is handy with something like Facebook where they mix old and new, but here we already know they are all new. So it is nicer to see the actual date and time.

I also noticed that there doesn't appear to be a distinction for recent posts since my last visit (or was that for the current day).

Ok, I found some documentation of other forum admins that were having the problem with the avatars post-upgrade. The issue should be resolved now. It looks like it was only affecting Internet Explorer browers. The one browser I didn't test in... Of course.

I can see ALL the avatars now - many thanks Shane.

Okay folks, one big cheer for Shane and all of his hard work...

Hip Hip..... [thumbs up]

Hello Peter.  Re' your post #82.  Very speculatively, wondering if worth carrying out some cleaning up of your hard drive.  EG, maybe using Windows 'Disk Cleanup' and maybe CCleaner as well.  Maybe there's a weird cache of some sort being used on the hard drive.
Disclaimer:  haven't got a clue if such a thing possible of course  [embarassed]
Btw: many thanks for all posts; product reviews, tool usage, etc.
Richard.

Edit:  ok now sorted. Sorry my post over-lapped. 
Btw: excellent work Shane.  Really like the new look.

I realise that posts have overlapped but I am quite hot on my computer maintenance. I also have about 10 TB of storage, some RAID 1, some removeable and so I am quite content.

Many thanks for your thoughts and kind words.

The problem with putting the login and other buttons on the right side of the navigation bar is that those buttons would drop off as the browser window gets smaller. If you resize your browser, you will see the Product Websites and Festool Websites drop downs disappear as it gets smaller, as an example.

It's getting there, hoepfully.  [unsure]

Calling it a night, fellas.

Shane

Yeah I hear ya. I don't "think" it's getting there.... I know it's getting there, i'm looking right at it.

This is why I stopped designing websites, it's so damn time consuming.

You're doing great, Shane. As long as you think there's more to do, you're the guy i want doing it!

I once fired a software developer because he was 'done'. I've never met any other developer who didn't have to have the product dragged from his hands while he complained vehemently that there was just 'one more thing' that he needed to do...

Is the email link to another Forum member working?

I'm using Mozilla on Win 7 and the buttons don't appear to work.

Absolutely true, when you have a passion for design, you'll always be looking for ways to "better" the design. I'd say same thing could be said about highly skilled wood workers ( woodworkers?)... Some of these guys in here will probably want to make a desk and when they get to the legs, they'll think its should be tapered not straight, and then it should taper back out at the feet, then it should have a beed around the top, then 1 edge should be rounded and the others square and.... etc..etc.. it's like a gift and a curse, lol

I could tell shane has a passion for designing, it's not just a task. Doin' a hell of a job btw if I haven't already said it like 10 times,  [laughing]

Shane,

Any chance you can add back the feature whereby when I hover my mouse pointer of the subject of a thread I see the first sentence of the first post?

Jack, unfortunately that's one of the modifications that was installed on the forum that isn't compatible with the new version.

Shane,

I just discovered that the 'insert hyperlink' button just brings up the basic tab "(url)(/url)" instead of "(url=address)description(/url)" via the pop-up window as it used to. Can this be fixed?

PS - I changed the square brackets for round ones so the code would show.

 

[tiralie]

I like the new look.
I think the headlines could be a point size larger.
I couldn't find the "save as draft" button. Did I miss it somewhere?

A big thanks to Shane. You put a lot of work into this project.
I like the new look.
I like that the things that kind of bugged me are worked out,
Font size- my eyes are getting old
Time stamp- like this way.
Nice job 
Rick
