This new forum....

[pam]

We're trying to get things fixed.  I told them they had better not take away the IP board version until they get these other things to work.  You can also create a new account on the full version too.  Though there are still a couple of glitches with it.  But it's being worked on.

Wahooo!!!  The "View New Content" button is working in the Full Version now.  Thank you Pam, and the behind-the-scenes site admins!

I agree, the site is coming up to full functionality rather nicely. I'm happy to be able to use the "full version" theme now

I still miss the old artwork.

 

You need a bash script to unhorriblify things.

if (horrible)

 make unhorrible

fi

 

Just a bit of formatting....mostly to be a wiseacre:

 

if (horrible) {

 make unhorrible;

}

[pam]

I also like how you can see the view new content  button at all times instead of having to scroll all the way back to the top like on the IP board version.

This is a bit finicky...but...

 

The View New Content button in the Full Version theme is so close to the user dropdown that I find myself accidentally opening the user drop down often when going to click it...which then covers up the View New Content button and I have to mouse off it and wait for the menu to go away. It's not a major deal...but a bit annoying.

 

(Edit: or the search dropdown)

i won't be submitting this as an issue.  I tried that to get the same thing and as soon as I moved my mouse the dropdown went away. Took all of 1 second.

 make unhorrible;

}

If I was writing c but that was bash  

I did write it wrong anyways it's actually more like:

if [ (horrible) ]

  then

     make unhorrible

fi

 

 

ah well it's been a very long time since I've done anything with bash

[talisyn]

I know I haven't been on much lately, but did you have to change the locks on the doors? I had to get a new password

 

Love the new paint, btw. Very pretty ^^

[Just_A_Guy]

I don't know enough about the programming to tell you what happened, Talisyn; but we've had a couple people have login issues with the new site and I can assure you that it wasn't intentional.

 

(Good to have you back, by the way!)

I've noticed something in the last day or two.  Yesterday it was on one of MOE's posts, and this morning in a post from JAG, both experienced posters who are familiar with basic posting how-tos.  They each shared links in a post (each time it was also the first post in a thread, which might make a difference?), but the links only went directly to the thread in which they were being posted.  I'm not sure if that makes sense.  It was kind-of like a "how do you keep an idiot busy?" circle.

I think this is likely a problem with the software, not the posters, because there's no way they could link to their own thread (even by accident) before the thread was even created...

*shrug*  Annoying is annoying whether it goes away in a second or not. Having a button hidden directly below a mouse-hover drop-down menu is not good design. Seems like it ought to warrant at least a to-be-considered bug...but it's not my site or say.

At least the Messenger and Notifications buttons are now visible. Before the only time I could see them was when the cursor hovered over them.

i have seen a few forums look like this now.... takes some time to get used to it, but it's cool.

[slamjet]

A suggestion for the forum, can the breadcrumbs be enabled?  It's cumbersome to have to slick out to the main forum menu only to click back, or am I missing something?

I'm not sure I understand what you are meaning.

[mordorbund]

The breadcrumbs are on the very bottom of the page:

 

• LDS.net
• → LDS.NET Popular Forums
• → General Discussion

It's part of the code in the style template.. It just needs to be modified.

Thanks for answering that.  I thought maybe I was seeing things that others weren't.

Thanks I know what breadcrumbs are.  What needs to be modified?

[slamjet]

For example:

 

 

I didn't see it because I never scroll down that far.  Kind-of inconvenient, and this is the first time I've seen it on the bottom of any website, but, oh well.

MOE and I are gifted like that . . .

I like the new forum except for the part where I couldn't log in or create a new account or contact anyone for help.  Vort came to my rescue and then Pam came to my rescue!  Thanks, Pam!

[MorningStar]

Are groups gone now? 

[pam]

Groups, gallery and blogs haven't been brought over yet.  It's being worked on but no ETA on that.
