So what are we still missing?

I didn't read through this whole thread...but

can we get to our old PMs ?

Or where are the new PMs ?

I didn't read through the whole question, but I bet the answers have been provided:twisted:

Now that I have read the thread, is there a reason for this? Can you add an option to change it? I prefer 50 or 100.

20 is obnoxiously low. Especially when 1/5 times I try and go to the next page there is a "502 proxy error" or something of the sort.

I didn't see the display of locations discussed.

After things settle out I'll look into upping it or adding an option. At this stage, I'm definitely more interested in speed and stability than adding features, unless they're REALLY trivial.

Just out of curiousity, did the old board have such a feature? I never noticed it. Then again, I don't pay much attention to how many are on a page.

I don't recall if there was an option to adjust the number of posts/page, but I think there were 25 replies/page

but since there is not a search button on top , how would I find it without going thru 6 pages,,,,,

I'd advise going through the six pages, seriously, as there is a HUGE number of questions that have been answered.

But yes, a search function is very high on The List.

The old board didn't have the option to change posts per page, IIRC. So, I see that PMs are now sent to our email per the post earlier in this thread...Baxter, is there a way to have our old ones forwarded to our email before they're lost in space? I had a few challenge budget "proof" messages in there I was purposefully saving, I guess I should have saved them to my hard drive. Are our old PMs already lost in space?

I didn't see anything mentioned yet, old links to the message board are now sent to a "get out the map" 404 page. Another thing that isn't immediately affecting the board, but it would be really nice when you get time if old links still forwarded on to the correct thread once the old stuff becomes available again. Lots of other forums refer to stuff on the GRM forum, it'd be a shame to lose that information because the links are now dead.

Oh yeah, time stamp...can we adjust for time zones? I'm not sure if we could on the old board or not, but I noticed that is off for me too.

Your old PMs are squirrelled away with the rest of the old board, and should be available soon.. That's the plan, anyway. Not sure how easy it will be to remap all the links to it, but let me look into it.

I'll add timezones to The List, but that one's a pretty low priority for me.

Is there any way to see which posts you have replied in? I'm guessing that in my profile it will have them listed. But I'm wondering about a different icon or font on the actual pages of threads in each board.

Look up top. Click "your posts"

Tim -

Here's how the screen looks for me....notice the big horizontal black line. I can live with it, but thought it may be something you can fix.

I'm on a PC, using Windows XP and IE Explorer 7, with 800x600 resolution on my monitor.

This is going to take a lil while to settle in TEST:whatthe:

Oddly, the forum format is all berkeley'd up in IE for me all of a sudden, but fine in Firefox. When in IE, if I click on just about anything, it tells me 'site not configured'.

What's the domain you're using?

:grin: Good one.

Don't feel too bad none of my many issues are there.

Is there anyway to narrow the page to fit my screen so that I don't have to keep moving it back and forth ? and what is the vertical line.

Here's one - How do PM's work? I PM'd somebody yesterday, but don't know if they've seen it, where I would go to see if they've responded, etc...

It is sent to their Email address.

That vertical line still there? I can't see it myself no matter what I try, and I can't seem to get rid of it, either. I'll have another go at it.

PMs go to the user's email.

Gotcha.

I have a suggestion: could you bold the name of the poster above each post or at least use a stronger font? It's a bit hard to see who wrote what when you're skimming threads casually. Especially with the small avatars.

My post count is down by about 100, I was almost at 1/2 dork. Other wise I like the new site

I like Jay's comment to make the names more prominent.

Also, the HTML nature of the markup won't let me double space after a period. Make's reading harder.
