comments on the new look here, so it doesn't all get split between now thinking/things that f*ck you off/cheer you up.

I like the new youtube and spoiler buttons, which will save a bit of faffing, and the thingy that sticks at the bottom of the window so you don't have to scroll around so much.

I would like the option of turning my VR purple, although things like getting pictures back in the picture gallery should probably come first. Also, I think a new favicon for a new VR would fit a bit better than the old one.

My overall opinion of the new site can be summed up by this smiley:

Hijacked by Claire to add all user suggestions in one place at the request of TechnoChris.

My one major complaint is I find fixed width sites really difficult and uncomfortable to use


Quote: lisa, Jun 2009

also, reply button being where it is makes it impossible to use the site on my phone


Quote: King For A Day, Jun 2009
There's no way to be all like 'hey, I wanna see the last 5 posts by this person', I think...


Quote: Mancomb Seepgood, Jun 2009
Is there a search function anywhere?


Quote: Howard Hughes, Jun 2009
The features that I've noticed missing that I used alot are the drop down menu at the bottom of the page, the first few and last few page numbers next to the thread title in the forum, and at the moment I can't see any pictures in the gallery.


Quote: Cassius, Jun 2009
Am having a bit of trouble with "view first unread post". I'm clicking on new, but it just brings me to the first page of the thread.

1. Time Last online/Last post/Last pm section is gone, as is looking at last 5-25 posts feature.
2. I really liked when the individual posts were alternating colours so it was clear.
3. Could there be a reply box on the bottom of the page as well as this pop up one too please? Sometimes this takes a while to load, plus I liked being able to scroll up and down the page and add quotes and things from the thread if I needed to.
4. The drop-down box at the bottom is gone as has been pointed out.
5. I liked being able to pick the page number I wanted to go to.

Also also also if you make colour schemes again can you do a pink one pleeeeeeeease.

Strawberry cannot login at-all, but I am not sure howcome.
She sent me a message...

"i've tried logging in loads of times and it doesn't work for me. Whenever i've tried to log in, it says this on my laptop:

Fission mailed
Unrefined subroutine & main.called
File: index.pl
Line: 166

i don't know what any of that means".

Please can anyone help her at-all. Her email address is...malpas60 (at) hotmail (spot) com

Safari on me Mac doesn't render the reply box correctly.


Quote: Claire, Jun 2009
Things I've noticed so far:

I've donated, but I can't make myself a member of the VIP Group and a Global Mod unless I'm being a moron.

" Doesn't seem to work, it does the " thing. Don't know if that goes for other characters as yet.

Split/Splice is gone...I used that a few times to move offtopic things etc and it would be handy to have it back. If it's not there already, I could be missing it due to blindness.

Would be good to see when people posted in the shoutbox again & to be able to view past shouts.

"Days since online" in profiles is wrong, it says I haven't been online in three days, I feel like I'm in a paradox.

& Pre-change quotes in PMs and signatures don't seem to work.

I've noticed that the postcount hangs over the post, I dunno if it's meant to..


Quote: Claire, Jun 2009
Icons for Twitter, Facebook etc in Profile are a good idea, but even though I've put the URLs for mine in, they don't show in my profile. Or rather, the icons do, but they don't link to anything.


Quote: Paddy Irishman, Jun 2009
Also, on the menu page, regarding the boxes with the X in them beside each board name, could we get something like the old style whereby that box changes colour or something if a new post has been made in it. I know there is the Last post: 3 minutes ago or whatever, but thats kinda hard to follow sometimes.


Quote: Albi The Racist Dragon, Jun 2009
It's not sorting automatically by most recent post any more. Is there an option or something, or is it just a bug?


Quote: Claire, Jun 2009
Ironically I appear to have found a new bug, or I'm being stupid again. The pagecount only goes up to 5 but this is page 6 so I can't see my post unless I click the thread from the recent posts on the main page. It doesn't move to page 6 if I click the right arrow either


Quote: lisa, Jun 2009
i know it's already been said but i am finding it really really difficult to distinguish between posts without having the colours behind them to break them up a bit

also, the split between a post and a sig seems to be a lot less obvious now, as the dotted line is greyed out... if you get what i mean?


Quote: Skank, Jun 2009
Well, would it be possible if, when you click on the last posted in link on Main, that it takes you to the last post in the thread, as opposed to the first page? I've not explained that very well, I'm afraid.

Also, can we have something very visible like a gold star or something over the board if new posts have been made? I'm finding it difficult to tell if there have been new posts without clicking on the last posted in bit.

Cheers

Double Post!

But I miss having a five minute window to edit things without it showing up on the post.

I'm liking it. User profiles are gone, but who had anything really interesting in them anyway?

Like the new PM system, how you can see the whole conversation rather than going to inbox, outbox, inbox, outbox (shake it all about-box).

I can use the shoutbox again. Big plus point there.

When you're logging in, I like the picture of the log. But having to log in with email rather than username was strange. I had to go through a few of my email addresses I've had over the years to find the correct one.

Will we be getting the collection of all the stupid smilies back?

I'm not too fussed about different colour schemes. But if its possible I'd probably change mine to black or blue. Although the green is growing on me.

I also like how the recent pictures is now Recent picture comments. I was actually going to suggest that a few weeks back but forgot about it

Other than that, great job all round I reckon.

You can still log in with username, it just doesn't say that in the box

Oh. I think I was halfway through typing it when I saw email address, so deleted it.

In that case, another plus point.

I quite like it, very nice and modern. I like to eat waffles with my toes. I make my own syrup for them too if you know what I mean

My one major complaint is I find fixed width sites really difficult and uncomfortable to use, and I'll kill you all if this is not fixed to my satisfaction

This may be a moot point seeing as no-one here is at school anymore, but is it wise for 'plain sh*t' etc to be the sub-header of all the sections? Also, it took about five minutes to work out how to reply. That's more my idiocy though I think.

I like the new font for the site name. Using only one L, very economical, smart move in the current climate, you just don't know where your next L is coming from.

Yeah. My bank said the interest on my loan keeps rising as I haven't paid it off yet. They said if I don't start paying it off soon there'll be L to pay

ah... reply button's there...

yeah. this is going to take some getting used to...
also, reply button being where it is makes it impossible to use the site on my phone
i've not tried it through the network yet, only through my wi-fi (i'm not paying bloody 50p when i'm sat 0.8m from the wifi i pay for anyway) but it's impossible to get to the button, even with reducing the zoom to an unreadable level

like i said, it'll probably be a grower, but... eh, for now me no likey.

B*tch, b*tch, b*tch.

I'm fairly impressed. THe site has been rebuilt from scratch by Mr' Aitken, all on his ownsome.. With its own custom forum softwares.

Its still in its early days so features will likely be added all the time.

Patience children, things will be added over time.

Steve-Dave: Better the devil you know, though. How many of the sensible people would ever vote for Romney?
Walt Flanagan: They're going to be non-votes, not votes for Barack.
Steve-Dave: I doubt it. I'd say that with some of the stuff Romney will come out, people could vote Barack just to prevent Romney getting in.
Walt Flanagan: Well, he's so clearly a terrible human being.
Walt Flanagan: He's going to gaff his way out of the White House, even as the President is hated from all the sides of the spectrum that aren't starry eyed.
Walt Flanagan: The GOP has gone too far towards the Stupid Bigot side of things, it may take years to get back.
Walt Flanagan: I just think people who say that Obama would have to f*ck a white woman on television to not get elected are missing the danger.
Steve-Dave: Oh I think Romney will still give Obama a run for his money. Romney flip-flops a lot. Could appeal to a wide enough base overall to run it close
oatibix: Something's happened here.
Steve-Dave: This is what happens when you leave Colin.
Steve-Dave: And I don't mean "This is what happens when you leave, Colin", I mean this is what happens when you leave Colin. I left Colin and became all sensible and sh*t
Steve-Dave: I'm an equivocating motherf*cker
Rayanne Graff: Yeah, you're sh*t. i'm not sure about sensible, though.
Jimmy: Holy sh*t everything's Barry.
Steve-Dave: Everything's better!
Puffalump: Barrier
Steve-Dave: The Barryest it's ever been
Jimmy: I can't wait for more "Important Barry and changes"
Steve-Dave: Well there will be some Barry and changes coming soon, because we need more donations. It no longer just takes £10 a year to help Barry survive
Steve-Dave: It takes like... £13
