Title: New Site Look
Post by: Delgado on November 05, 2006, 10:08
Just logged on-and found the site a bit confusing!

 Whilst I appreciate people working and improving things; I dont like change of any kind in anything.

Sorry to be a party pooper-Im just a stick in the mud.

well, we hope everyone likes this... obviously things are slightly different and things aren't quite the same but trust me, give it a few days and you will be wondering why we put up with phpbb crap for so long...  trust me - I'm an astrophysicist (lol, I've always wanted to say that!)

oh and if there are any improvements you can think of, or anything that you would like showing how to do just say.

What do you find confusing, DG?  The forum works basically in the same way as the old one.  Let us know what you're stumbling on, and we'll try to help.

There is bound to be a period of adjustment for all of us.  Fortunately, some of the older members (I mean in time here, not age!) will already know their way around a YaBB board, because we were on one originally, and this is very similar.  :)

 Sorry to hear that your suffering from astrophy-Have you seen a Doctor?  ;D ;D

Seriously, Im getting used to this new look, and even liking it!! I think it was early morning blues, and lack of Coffee!!

What I cant understand is -why are so many posts marked as new-and when you go there, the posts go right back to July-am I missing something?

Just go to the bottom and Mark All Read, DG.  It's because we imported the database from the old software.

Title: Re: New Site Look
Post by: Simon on November 05, 2006, 20:17
Yes, you'll find this software much better, because it does actually remember what you have read and what you haven't, unlike the old board, so you can go away and come back and your unread posts will still be there.

Remember on the old YaBB forum, we had Access All Areas for members of the DZ?  I was trying to do something similar, but obviously I haven't got it right.   :-\

One feature I have missed is the choice to show all posts from the last day, week etc.  That was handy if you had logged in but your browser crashed before you had the chance to view posts since the last visit.  Firefox doesn't crash very often, but it crashed on me yesterday and when I had restarted it and logged back in the posts since last visit was empty, as it would be since my last visit had only been moments ago.
