New forum look

[Muhammad]

And so it is! I thought it might be used like a 'thumbs up' feature on another forum, which I liked. Any plans to implement something like it?

That's a possibility but there are several plugins for that sort of thing and I want to fully evaluate them before implementing one. We tested it once and very few people used it so we disabled it.

Did we lose the "show new threads since my last login"? I see a "new posts today" , but assume they are not the same.

Thanks for the reply, I know you'd have one user!!:thumbsup:

It will be back. Just have to add it. Probably tomorrow.

Oops. See on the other thread that it's on the to do list! :thumbsup:

I do miss the preview feature where you can mouse-over the thread and get a few sentences of the beginning of the post. Now I'll have to look at all of the "Help Me" and "I need help" titled threads without details to see what the issue is. (One of my pet peeves is those posts.)

The pastel colored fonts are hard to see for those of us with old tired eyes. The black is easier and less tiring on my eyes.

PMs are under alerts in the forum navigation (icons below the black bar at the top). We should probably change that name to messages.

Wouldn't "Mail" or "Messages" be more intuitive? Perhaps I'm mistaken, but "Alerts" and "My Home" seem to have identical functionality and "My Profile" seems to be a useless and redundant vanity feature. Everything could easily be integrated under "My Home" like it was before... simple and easy to use.

And... the reply box turning grey when I mouse over it is driving me INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The old search function sorted post with "Unread" on the top and marked in different background color. New doesn't do that. Or do I need to chnage some setting?
