Has anyone noticed anything different?

I was just thinking to myself that the forum was getting a bit behind the times. I appreciate the all singing, all dancing monster before us, and it will take time to get used to. A quick reply button would be a godsend though, i love those things. Maybe a slight trim of the fat would make this spanking new forum feel like home again.

Oh and does it have the function to embed youtube videos? that would be pimp. is the $%&#ing swear filter still there? i liked not seeing swear words every three posts.

And the new post! thingy is annoying yet useful, now i get to reply to the mac thingy and say that Safari under Leopard is amazing, firefox is really annoying on mac for me. I just hate firefox in general i think.

I think you can check a box in your profile for quick reply, I had a play around, and am using it

[Twinfan]

Yep - there's a quick reply option in your profile settings.  Using it now...

Quick update:
- I have configured threads with new posts to show up as bold
- Quick reply (as already pointed out) is in your profile.
- Those who don't like the "There have been x posts since you started your reply" can disable it in your profile.

Is it just me or has the script logo at the top gone quite fuzzy?

[Twinfan]

Yep, it has!

the original file was a PNG file which is only supported by FF and ie7. ie6 users had a white box instead of transparency. So I have had to revert to using a GIF temporarily whilst I come up with another plan.

What do you think of Lep? It's a nice system, but the extra boot up time upsets me a bit.

I'm liking it, spaces is fun and the gui is very user lovely. Not started it up since installing it, having to re-download ilife 08 and iwork- not included in the instal like it was in tiger. I love using pages.

Ol - I am absolutely LOVING this new layout.

It does mean that I'm getting even less work done today - so where should my company send the invoice to??!

:lol:  :lol:

I'm going to reserve judgement on the update until I know if it copes with proxies better than the old one.

Update:
Although I prefer the look of the of the old forum this one actually allows me to post (from work) so that has to be a good thing (for me if nobody else)

One thing that has irritated me so far, was on the old board you could use next and prevous to move through sections within the thread this now causes you to navigate actual threads.

Thats fine for newsgroups, but how often do people want to step through each thread in order, but I'm usually more interested in navigating the actual thread I'm in at the time

Only a minor quibble though

I actually think the old site looked a lot more classy, I think it's all the black compared to the current various shades of grey.
And like a few others, I keep having to log in every time even though I've checked the 'Always stay logged in' box, it just unchecks itself! I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.15 on a Mac FWIW.

I'm having a lot of trouble telling which threads are new when they all say 'NEW!" next to them. Can we get rid of that, or at least have it working correctly? If not, can we have the bold text on the actual new threads in a different colour aswell perhaps?
