What were you guys thinking?

Hi,

Layout & colours are customisable (view it in your profile settings).

Things are harder to find because it's new... I hope in one week your opionion will be changed.

Speaking of useless why am I getting alerts in French? I didn't read it before I just knew the address and clicked the link.

Well the next alert came in English (I thought I had selected that as me preffered language). One bug down? It's a start.

I background picture is missing, you should see this :

yup, unfortunately they are overriden by tom's own css, perhaps they will fix this later.

I think that's the issue : it's sending the email in the same language your profile is configured...

No I do not I have checked that now and it was always English.

Trying to reply to this message created a new issue. How do I reply to a message? All I could figure out was to quote the one I wanted to reply to and then answer.

EDIT: I have tried to find an option to place the reply botton in the toolbars preferences but could not find a reply botton. Does this mean we actually have to quote an entire message to reply to someone? That is going to create some really long nested quotes.

You are correct on that, on the other hand I don't like that either.

there are not allowed to improve the global readability of the topics.

I do not like the fact that nested quotes don't work. (for a good example of why, look at this post, now assume a new person comes into the conversation they are going to be doing a lot of scrolling up and down to figure out exactly what the conversation(s) going on is).

things are harder to find because the layout sux

It jumps with no limit. By experience, nested quote are really inconfortable to read and overload a thread, and I hardly need to see what's the original post is.

I agree with you, i think quotes are much better then just having in "reply to"

I am in Australia ... there is not link from the "where are you" page when I log in.

If you don't like us Aussies then we can always go somewhere else I suppose??

So please put Australia on the map ... we have the hottest blonde women and some Leet programmers ... isn't that enough? We can send some sharks and vegemite as payment ... and a few sheep too. We come third in the Olympics ... not bad for a nation of only 20 million !!!

Secondly, If I try to go home from any point in the forumz I get a "denied" page ... effectively I can't go back to the home page ... without a restart.

The forums fomat is also unfriendly.

The spyware in the ads is also a pretty cheap and nasty shot - we are mostly techy people who are members ... we are not stupid noobs.

end rant

No link with the forum.

If you can't watch what your advertizers are putting up and guarantee that it is safe then don't put up ads! Of course it is linked to the forum, its on YOUR site.

And on a side not who the ... moved my icons?

I already fixed them, but thanks for the link I'm sure others will need it. Which leads me to another problem, when I tried to move the icons relating to the poster below the avatar the formatting of the threads went nuts.

NEW SITE - LOVE IT!!!! The layout is brilliant and it looks really professional. Well done guys!!!!

By a user that was not part of the community before the last forum change, just like yourself. Can you please stop pointing out the obvious?

The fact that a lot of people are unhappy with the forum change is not going to change by people like yourself pointing out all the good features of the new forum. They miss the functionality and the layout of the old forum.
