New forum style


I've already seen that most of you are cool with the coloring of the forum (as am I).

What do you think about the little icons that show if there's a new post in a thread?  Do you like the little "lights" or do you prefer the "NEW" icon and the little "no" icon that was shaking his head?

Personally with the old way I always felt like I had to open each thread just to get rid of the "new" icon so that column would be smaller.  With the lights it doesn't matter because the column doesn't get wider to begin with.

As long as it is a clear and distinct symbol, it doesn't matter to me much either way . . . although, I do have the big roll of "New" stickers to use up. hmm.gif

I am leaning towards the new lights. The old icons always made me sad when there were no new posts. hmm

But I do wish that the thread names were bolder. I am blind and it seems like they just blend right in with the page color.

I agree Woo.

I can play around a little with that, but I'm in dangerous territory.  The old style was all automatic and had an easy user interface for changes, but this new style uses CSS programming and the only way to make changes is to actually go in and change the code hmm.gif

I see the "Search" function isn't working.  Is this temporary?

I like the new buttons. They're classier.

(As in, the current buttons.  Not the ones that say "new".)

is it possible to make the lights interactive, so you can turn them off if ya don't wanna look at the thread...

ie. if it's your own post that triggered them????


LOL!!!!

No go with that idea.

I've already emailed them and asked for at least a "MARK ALL READ" button. But so far nuthin.

Yeah, that hasn't been happening on my end D.

I've had no issues other than the slow server, but it seems to be getting a little better.

I like the buttons better too instead of the old "new" and "head shaking no" icons.  As Mz said, the buttons make it look classy.  smile

 Well now, that's just silly.  Heino and baboon butts are part of the very fabric of our little forum smile.gif
