What has happened to the forum????

[LaFlorecita]

Please make posts clickable or sort out a way to link directly to a post.

Can we have single posts working please.

Can you get the URL on please. It really is annoying when you just have to copy and paste links rather than clicking on words or the URL.

What is [flash]??????

Edit: La Flo has said my first point, so that's seconded by me (and lots of other probably).

Ok, will take a look of how to do this as phpbb doesn't support it out of the box.

It does not necessarily have to be a pop up window like before of course

Not impressed. The new format seems to imitate obscure forums you get for groups like car fanatics. Was this decided by an IT geek (technical) or Accountant (costs) rather than consulting the actual Users on what they want ?

Oh well I suppose will get used to it but don't understand why it had to be done this way.

Hi sam, thanks for your efforts. Maybe this has been asked before, but can you please try to activate hyperlinks? Not just making urls clickable but giving us the feature to higlight a word or text with a link?

Thanks in advance.

Re:

Sorry if this has already been asked but do ignore lists no longer work?

the forum is going to be 100% unreadable without that.

You could always stop posting ...

Re:

Can (other people's) signatures be switched off, so I don't see them?

You can do that if you go to Edit Profile -> Board Preferences -> Edit Display Options -> Display Signatures

How much bigger? its size 14 at the moment.

There is no way this font is 14pt. It appears on screen as 6 or 7 point and is pretty much unreadable.

You are correct, its not 14pt - its 14px

What device are you using? Looks rather large on my devices.

Can it be made possible again to subscribe to threads *without* receiving an email every single time there has been posted in that thread.

I also notice that we can't see on a user that the person is banned. Can that be changed? Otherwise you may reply to a post and wait for a reply, only the poster can not reply the next month or so. I know all bans are listed in the suspension thread, but it is more convenient if you can see it directly on the user.

Cheers.

Yeah I definitely agree on this

Hi Esh, can you change your status after the update or are you forced to just be a red-named senior member?

No idea
But I like the red name.

Your post count certainly grew a lot!

Tbh I thought the 'real' one was bigger than that, but it's hard to guess with you


Edit: I guess that also explains how my post count grew a bit and Ryo's grew a lot. But I agree, post should be made deletable again and old deleted posts should be deleted again.

Re:

who?

Re:

I just noticed that a click on the number in the replies collumn takes you to the latest post in the thread.
Maybe all of you know that, but I didn't...

That's sort of an accident... the intention is to make the 'Latest post by...' on the right hand column do this instead, as per old forum. :]

Re:

Also, the font colour button doesn't work. You click on it and the color palette comes up but you can't actually select anything.

This is something we've got in line to fix too, though probably not one of the instant ones as we want to get some of the more important fixes in first.

They were, but due to some spammers we had to remove it briefly to rework it a bit.

Another (minor) thing: Previously you could see which edits were made on your own posts by clicking on "Last edited by..." which was a link.



On a more general note, I'd like if the board was made a bit broader. Currently it is 960 pixels everything included. Previously that was the width of the actual post. I guess it has something (everything) to do with name, avatar, status etc being beside the post, not in the header.

Edit: Can see we now can delete posts. Great!

The white background is not optimal imo.

Cheers and thanks for the hard work.

edit2: That was weird. Just a little ago there was a delete post link next to the edit one, now it is gone

Thanks a lot for destroying the Race Design Thread. That was the best thread in the entire forum and now it's ruined. Well done.

Oh, and it was absolutely impossible for me to log on under my old user name. The promised email never came. Excellent work.
