FORUMS UNDER MAINTENANCE - 28.06.2011

[Jmouse]

Did you know you can display your country's  flag  now? Just click on the PROFILE button at the top of the page and scroll down. Jeroni has dedicated countless hours to updating the SC4D Web site, and this is just one of many tweaks to come.

OK, I haven't been here since before the change...and not to be a downer, but the new color theme is very, very hard for me to see things.  Too  many light, bright colors, I really need a dark background.

I've looked everywhere and can't see away to change themes.  Is this possible?  Will it be possible?

No complaints about changing the software, the update has nice features, I just want to know if we will be able to change the color scheme to something I can more easily use.

Hello again and thanks for the nice feedback ¡¡

I am working to fix all the reported issues, specially the LEX ones (we are on the way to solve it ¡¡), but I am glad to see that there are not so many errors reported, and that most of you do like the new theme. Unfortunately the old one is not compatible with the new forums version, and there are now other priorities, but I'll try to update that old theme and make it available once the rest is in place and fixed

Cool.  Sorry I must have missed that when I was reading over the thread.

Just got onto the forums after some trouble, which is now fixed. 

I have to say the brightness of the forums will take a bit getting used-to. Although may I make a suggestion? On the Forums home, would it be possible to put lines in between, or in any way better distinguish different threads from each other? At the moment it's kind of strange.  Just my opinion.

Hello to all our fellow members ¡¡

Due to a scheduled site upgrade, during this weekend the forums will be put under maintenance. This situation shouldnt take more that two or three hours. So we please you to dont worry if you come here and you find it closed ¡¡¡. It wont take much time

Thanks to all for your patience and understanding ¡¡

That looks great! Excellent work Jeroni, I love the new forum layout.

Because of the new stuff at the left side viewing pics on my 19" monitor isn't really nice

You can expand or collapse the column. Please, check the options before complaining. I have added 100 extra pixels width to the forums. Didnt you notice that as well?

I hope the new functions and integration is useful for most of the members. I tried to be as flexible as I could when installing them.

I have installed also two new extra functionalities for the site subscribers, which I hope you will like  . They can be seen in the home page, Shoutbox to share your mood in a given moment, and a graphical online members list at the top of every page, so you can easily contact that member you are looking for.

Also, after some discussion at admin level, we have decided to make the Staff List available for all the members, regardless of their membership type.

Please, report any technical problem you may find in the new forums 

[io_bg]

Ah, well, it took me some time to find out that those buttons at the top right were responsible for this
And yes, it's much better now that the forums are wider.

[Jonathan]

The layout is great, although there is a huge amount of whitespace at the top of page above the header, I don't know if it's just on Safari, I'd check on Chrome but I can't open it without it crashing.

Also is the forum background meant to white everywhere? It's quite a massive contrast to the black buttons, header and edge?

I just tried with Safari 5.0.5 and Chrome 12.0.742.122 m and I experienced no problem at all. Perhaps you have to clean the cache or something? Can you please try again?

[Jonathan]

Ah yes clearing the cache works, the new header looks stunning!!

[jacksunny]

I like the new layout, and especially the new header. Good job!!! 

[TS007]

Awesome new layout style. really like it  . Thanks you very much for the all hard work. 

[N1_2888]

Up until recently I assumed that pictures embedded in a forum and being not wider than 800 pixels should be displayed without a scrollbar on a 17 inch screen (which I have). Thanks to the new layout even a 550 pixel wide picture (!) "features" these ugly blue bars now. So, regrettably, I can't join the previous speakers.

[peter007]

Awesome lay-out. The banner is fabulous.
It's so cool that you can easily see now who's online.

I echo the sentiment  its all good overall however when I voted on the RHW poll went to a different page everything seemed ok until I scrolled down and then it went all 'wonky'...

the poll maybe out dated or something and ought to removed if so... However the RHW guide is a project someone adept at such projects to take on

It a god fresh shiny look with a new car smell

Sorry, I don't care for the new look all that much.  Looks rather sparse.  Prefer the old look better where all forums were listed on one page.

[jacksunny]

What do you mean "listed on one page"? By clicking "forums" on the top navigation bar, I can see them all.

And also, I noticed that on the left navigation bar, the sub-menus that appear when you hover over something have a white border around them. It doesn't line up with the edge of the menu making it seem...ugly. I think it would look better with no border at all.
