Forum Upgrade - Any Issues?

[zzvyb6]

It takes my computer longer to load the list of 'most recent posts' elements. 2 -3 seconds instead of what used to be unnoticeable time period.

There is a lot more white space on the pages. I use a monitor in portrait mode and I'm getting fewer posts per page. I think this is because there is more (wasted) space between posts. Other forums (Michigan Horse Chat) which use the same protocals have twice as many posts per page. I wonder if a smaller font would be available. How about a selector with 'Number of posts per page' ?

I don't see where you can make a reply without a quote. I reply (with quote) and delete the quote string.

I don't have a clue for what all the colors on the post headings mean. Is there a legend somewhere?

This is from the computer file side...it works too.

If you are talking about the number of posts before you have to change to the next page (vs posts per linear inch of screen space), there is a setting at: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions (has been for as long as I have been using TBN). See the "Number of Posts to Show Per Page" setting, you can set it to show 5, 10, 20, 30 or 40 posts per page.

Embedded videos from sites like YouTube aren't working. Here's one example, among many I've found...

Try the rest of them ... I can not use the following.

AMD not to mention this is the first I've tried to add a picture ... I really don't like that new layout.

I think I figured it out (on my end anyway). You can't just click anywhere, you have to click on the word itself to get the link to work. The curser behaves as if you click anywhere on the area to get the link to work, but you have to click on the word.

You're welcome!



Reply button fixed.

The yellow we used is the same that we had on the old forum...

The default to first post has also been implemented.

Thanks!!

Interesting that the yellow is the same as the old forum as it appears to be much more pale. I guess its because of all the whitespace.

I miss being able to preview a thread when you move the mouse over the thread title Can you bring this feature back?

This is working OK for me.

I'm not real crazy about this popup covering what I was reading several times.

 

[MasseyWV]

The file attachment feature isn't working for me.

I see this for every person.
IE 9, and yes, looks like UTube links are busted.
Or are they? I added a UTube link and hit Preview and I do not
see a URL...I will hit SUBMIT and see what I see...

It was kinda cool the way it was before, the UTube was I think it is called
embedded in the post, now it is link.

awkward......much knowledge required to get the benefit of your changes......

"If it ain't broke DON'T FIX IT"

or......a great cure....for a NON-PROBLEM

you had a great site........and then.....:confused2:

It appears that if you have a long list of tractors with no spaces in it for your list of tractors or location (such as: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...ng/246243-opps-parking-brake.html#post2866769 or mine for now), the list overflows out of its assigned space.

What is this "yellow" everyone talks about? I don't see any yellow.

 

[Scooby074]

White space is back.. well actually it might be worse. There is no style at all now...

 

[California]

Oops. At the moment everything's broken.

[MossflowerWoods]

Holy cow! TBN crashed hard. I have so little style it is VERY hard to navigate.

IE 8 at the moment...

I will return later and hope it if fixed.

Looking like a snowstorm struck TBN!

I have been working in software most of my life. Seems like you guys would maybe benefit from having a staging server to try new things out on, rather than trying to do it on your production server?

Over the years trying to make changes to production environments without trying the changes somewhere else always seems to result in disaster.
