So, this Sunday forum outage....

[Phil Spencer]

How do I get my old screen back?

[seanz]

The colours man, the colours.........

Running Firefox and it all works fine.

[SAISAY]

OOOOOHHHH it is BRIGHT
Hurts my poor old eyes.

Pictures aren't displaying (only links) and when I go into settings to see if there is something I should switch on or off I get a lot of junk coming up that doesn't mean anything (to me the e-luditite). What do I need to do?

Same here it is getting annoying having to keep clicking on links, could this be one of them hicups

Looks great. Much better than the old version (which frankly was not very appealing IMHO).

Anyway, bug report. The admins may have noticed already, but since I can't see a report about it..............

My options page in the UserCP gives a php error:

Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/woodwork/public_html/profile.php(2083) : eval()'d code(98) : eval()'d code on line 1

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: option in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4734

Also, the Profile page appears to have some minor CSS glitches in FF15 on W7. Overlapping content. Both should be easy enough to fix.

ETA: Another thing is that people's avatars are not displaying in their posts. This may be related to the settings problem.

Another bug. I went to look for a post of mine, went in to Advanced Search, selected my name from the drop down menu, clicked on Search Now and no matches were found.

[Sumbloak]

Just tested that one. Confirmed. I'll do some cross browser checking on the profile CSS stuff tonight.

I thought they were updating the web site...not sure I like the layout...suppose I'll get used to it...not sure i like the colours..greys may have been better in lieu of yellow?

mmm I think they also forgot to update by removing the display for the Canberra Timber & Working with Wood Show advertising which finished days ago ..

Thanks for all the great efforts behind the scenes everyone. When I went to w/w/w.woodwork/forum.com (I had to break that text with / or it just displayed the link Activity Stream... like follows ) was directed to the activity stream (Activity Stream - Woodwork Forums ) but I think it would be better to have it direct to the home page (www.woodworkforum.com/forum.php). It's a better page for newcomers to land upon.

It is always good to have a change. I like what I see.

Currently rebuilding the Search Engine Index which should fix the search problem.
However, with 137,445+ threads and over 1.436 million posts this could take from an hour to all day, it may also slow down the forums slightly.

Both Steven and I will have little computer time today as we have to work, but will do what we can when we can. Please be patient everything will be fioxed in good time..

To anyone who has a problem with bright colours of the new forum..... Check the colour calibration of your monitor as the colours are mostly pastel fauns and creams with white background in posts, etc. Lighter than the old default forum admittedly but but then again many, many people complained about the colours on that one as well and wanted it brighter.

We've gone for middle of the road colours this time. For now you need to get used to it or adjust your screen colours as it will be quite some time before there is another colour scheme offered.

Well it's a great BIG thumbs down from me. Some trendy young thing has forgotten the audience. The colour scheme, especially the light grey and light pastel icons. makes it 3 times harder to read.
The plus is that I won't be spending as much time here as I used to.

[Dengue]

It is looking good, Neil, quite a modern looking website. thanks for all your hard work, would not have been easy

HEADS UP - FORUM OUTRAGE - SUNDAY
This Sunday 9th Sept there will be a forum outrage that may last from 6 to 8 hours

All that anger ... I thought it was a bit politically incorrect myself ...

Did I have a man look or something? Can't find it.

(also having trouble reading the red on top of the grey. And those pale icons in the "post icons" list. Must be older than I thought )
