Jay S. Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hey all forum goers, I just pushed the new forum software live, which I'm hoping will give everybody a much better experience here and facilitate better discussions. If you encounter any problems with the new forum, please post your issues on this thread and I'll investigate. Thanks! -Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 good to know I wasn't suddenly going crazy I think alot of people would appreciate the default "skin" being similar visually to what was previously used... or at least having the name/avatar/etc block being on the left, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffspecracer Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Jay, Is there a function like the old board that "view topics since last visit"? This was an easy way to see all the new stuff since you last read. I've looked around and don't see anything that is the same? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay S. Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 There are a couple links for that, both for new posts: http://www.nasaforums.com/search.php?search_id=newposts They've changed the name of "new topics" to "active topics", and the link for new topics: http://www.nasaforums.com/search.php?search_id=active_topics I'll look at other styles that look more like the old version that people can switch back to.

ninetyfourintegra Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 How do I mark All Post/Forums as read? When I hit the 'new post' link I just want to see what is truly new... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Moments Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Very nice, I like it so far. good to know I wasn't suddenly going crazy Don't worry Ken. For you going crazy isn't anything sudden. It could be worse though, you could be like me and have frequent flyer miles you've been there so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffspecracer Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Yep Jay....found both of those but the "New posts" looks like it lists all new posts for the entire day. Can this software show only the posts since your last visit like the old system did??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn M. Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 This is an upgrade?? Visually its a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay S. Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Alrighty, for those who dislike the new style, I give you the new old-style. Or something like that. It's a closer style for the newer version, anyway. Those who like the look and feel of the previous style can do this: 1 - Go to the User Control Panel at http://www.nasaforums.com/ucp.php 2 - Select "Board Preferences" 3 - Under "My Board Style", select "subsilver2 4 - Click Submit, be happy Hope you guys like this better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What browser do you use? I can possibly adjust some of the fonts if I can reproduce. I use Firefox, and the typography looks quite nice on both themes for me.

chuck schultz Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'm not getting enough contrast to read comfortably, for some reason. Maybe a different or slightly larger font would help. The background colors seem pretty normal, it's just hard to read. Testing real black vs. whatever is elsewhere. Ah-hah! The text isn't really black. It's either gray or blue on blue. No wonder I feel like I'm going blind. Now let's see what size is easier to read. . . Combine the larger text with black text. . . Hey, now I can read it! It sucks to get old, but it beats the alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck schultz Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I switched back to the new skin (prosilver?) and see that there is good contrast, in the body of the posts, but the fonts are abnormally small. I can change my browser text size preference, but then every other site has huge fonts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han Solo Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hmmmmmmmm, a right hand drive forum. Wrong side of the pond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay S. Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Ask and ye shall receive... I've updated the fonts to be slightly larger, and also closer to a true black so it increases the contrast. Geez, for racers you guys have some bad eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
