Has anyone noticed anything different?

[noodleplugerine]

First question is (and i know i am probably a stupid git for asking), what is the quick reply feature and has it been taken away?


And second is (this is getting really nitpicky), in the old forum layout if you entered a particular forum - say for instance, in this case, "Time Out" - the actual expanse of the topic layout was much wider (horizontally) and it also accounted for far more topics vertically.  The actual number of topics one could review on one page was much greater, which lent itself to a less claustrophobic layout.  Right now i feel like everything is too boxed in, and everything upon EVERYthing (in terms of topic titles) is in bold which doesn't help matters for a claustrophobic layout.  If the horizontal layout was just widened even by a couple centimeters i think it would help matters.  I don't know if anybody else finds it irritating that they cannot scroll down the page and find as many topics per page as they used to, but i find it a little irritating, especially if i have to got to the next page of topics for some reason when before i didn't have to.  For forums such as the "Guitars, Amps, and Effects" forum, there tend to be many new topics every day, especially if one only tends to check in once a day, or every other day even.  For members that are not as addicted as others (i may vouch for myself that i am an addicted member - but i don't always come on multiple times a day), it might be troublesome to know if there more topics new than that first page can specifically fit.  Now, some people might like fewer topics on one page, so i suggest that forum members can choose how many topics they want to fit per page (20, 25, 30, 35, 40, etc.).  I don't know if anybody else would like this, but again this is just nitpicking.  Thanks for all the changes you have made already Ol!

Quick Reply is same as its allways been - You just need to activate it from your settings in your profile.

The one thing that's bugging me is when I switch from my work computer to my home PC the "Show unread posts since last visit" link doesn't work properly - it says there are none.  Then if I click "try all unread posts instead" I see them all.

Can that be fixed?  Or can we have "all unread posts" as a link at the top of the page in case someone posts as I log in and I get one unread post and no way to see the others (as has just happened!)

I really do not like the new forum code...

Every time i try to login from the main forum page i get an error.. and have to go back and do it again.. The colour scheme is well.. vile and the way that everything is noted as being new is just annoying... i miss the old forum!

One thing that is slightly annoying is that if you see the yellow block telling you there's new posts in a certain forum, and then you go in and read them when you press 'back' to go back to the main page after they've been read, it doesn't reload and you have to refresh to see which forums actually contain new posts.

Indy try clicking the Bare Knuckle logo at the top instead of using the 'Back' button.

I use the home button after reading a thread.

The thing keeps logging me out and i say "keep me logged in."  Its driving me crazy.  The old site kept me logged in for EONS.  Is there something in my profile settings i should do?

Do you use a bookmark to get to the forum page? If so, change it to go to "http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php" rather than whatever it was going to before. That worked for me.

Have you got your PC to clear down cookies?  That's the usual cause of that behaviour...

[opprobrium_9]

I have a Mac.  I use a bookmark to get to the main BKP website but then i just go to the forum manually from there.

Try flushing any caches as I have seen windows machines & macs.

I also get similar problems when I'm forced to use proxy servers (though this revision of the board has been great so far)

[PhilKing]

I noticed that when I load pictures they are loading as thumbnails, and then if I am not logged in, they don't show.  Is there an option to load them as full size?  Also they don't show on preview.

Bingo - Worked perfectly for me.
