can you add a link to the message pit on the homepage so we don't have to jump through hoops to get here?

    Make that two people requesting a link. I just had to navigate through search , using key word Forum , twice to get here on the two occasions I've been in the pit tonight.

    I agree. also, I think I have to preview comment before I post. Would be nice to have a 'quick post' button.

  • so when it asks me to log in on the home page of the site it seems to have logged me in here too? Is that correct?

    It is definitely performance impaired. Slow as hell. And what's with the username text blending into the background so well that it is hard to see who the poster is.

    Definitely more posts and activity happening on the old board right now for a reason. This isn't quite usable yet.

    I am seeing a gray box behind the user name and avatar. I've seen some threads appear the way you must be seeing them for a second after clicking on them, but then the gray box fills in to make the user names more readable.

    Don't know why the gray part isn't filling in for some people, but I'm guessing it could have something to do with browser settings? Maybe whatever need to be allowed for this is being blocked by your browser.
  • jeffbrjeffbr Posts: 7,177
    You must be right about the settings. I have no gray box in IE, but everything looks as you describe it in Firefox. I'm using Firefox right now and things seem fine.

    When I preview the post before I post it I get small black text against that ugly background which is a little difficult to read, though. Hopefully they can make that space some sort of single, contrasting color.

    Wow
    What the hell happened around here.

    maybe we can make this a official "fix" thread?

    •change user name text color to something that doesnt mix with background.

    •add post comment beside preview comment so we dont always have to preview.

    •quotes are difficult to read becuase there is no box around them like on the old bbs board.

    give me some time and im sure i can come up with some more lol...

    Maybe a contol panel so we can susbscribe to threads (so we don't have to search the forum to find threads we've posted in to read comments).

    I also noticed somebody had an image on their signature.

    Unless it was my imagination.


    However, images in signatured must be disabled. It is the worst thing a message board can have (IMO)

    Web master/slave FYI:

    There's a typo on the page where you edit your profile. Go here: view/edit your profile / edit profile / Shows Attended field.

    The Shows Attended field title says "Shows Attenede"

    Nice work though. The new site is terrific.

    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...
  • Can this forum open in a new window like the old one did? I like to be able to browse the rest of the site while I'm reading posts.

    Images should probably be disabled in sigs for a while at least until this board runs more smoothly. It's still a little slow loading pages for me compared to the previous board.
