Oakleaf,
When you click on the "Forums" tab, you should see all the individual forums and sub-forums in an expanded view -- meaning all the subforums are shown by default. You can collapse each major forum by using the "+" or "up/down arrow" located to the far right of the color bar on each major forum. I believe this is what you are referring to as threaded at the top level? (expand/collapse the heiarchy of forums?)
Sequential at the posts level is controllable in your user profile.
Thx,
Jeff
Got it, thx! Yesterday when I clicked on "forums" it gave me a sequential list of new posts since my last visit. Looks more normal now. :)
Hi Shootingstar,
Can you elaborate on "doesn't quite work"? I went to Settings (top right of page), then Edit Signature, and was able to edit and save my signature. Does it not let you edit, or does it allow you to edit but then the edit doesn't get saved, or ???
Thanks,
Jeff
I'm using Window's 7 and Explorer 8 and using the new luburox blue skin. I like the additional colors, new font, font size and so fourth. I'm still trying to figure out what the different color envelopes mean. I could probably read up on it and find out but I will figure it out soon. Been a bit busy this week to be on the forums much anyway. Also it's nice to have the choice of different skins. I like the new normal one and the red. Nice.
Much better, thanks Jeff! The Serif option makes things much more readable to me. The various skin colors (red, pink, etc) still have the font/line spacing I find hard to read, but at least I have options. Please keep the Serif option! Thanks!
Thankfully, I changed it back to the default style. I hated that dark blue. The change is bad enough, but at least this looks a little like the old forum.
I understand needing to upgrade so stuff doesn't crash, but for what I do on the forum (read posts in the regular threads, no subscribing or looking at things that are only new), I don't see any change in the way I use TE.
If you're looking for feedback...
I'm bugged by having to click to get to a log in
and I think the User name banner above each post takes up too much vertical space--so that my whole screen only shows 2 or 3 posts at a time. It makes for a lot of scrolling down.
No deal breakers though. Good work.
It doesn't allow me to edit when I press "Edit". Nothing happens.
Wow. :eek: just saw the new changes. What a difference a day ( or so) makes. I like it. Looks...sunnier. I feel like i'm on Good Morning America and should chill w/ a cuppa.
Gonna poke round some more but thanks for the hard work to get thru the update. I'm sure that there was much business ops prep and tech prep for this like DB schema updates, scripting, rollover prep and testing going on for a bit. So thanks to the team for their effort.
My browser is showing a bit of loose Javascript at the top of the forums home page ( forums.teamestrogen.com/forum.php ). The code is:
'); var sidebar_align = 'right'; var content_container_margin = parseInt('290px'); var sidebar_width = parseInt('270px'); //-->
I'm running an ancient version of Firefox - version 3.0 I think - on MacOSX. The visible code is present in both the Luburox and vB4 Default styles.
Edit: Looking at the "page source", the line before the loose Javascript is a document.write which generates a line of Javascript. It appears that my browser treats the /script in the function arguments as the end of the Javascipt block - thus causing the var lines to be treated as plain html text.
