Medhb Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Never mind the gargantuan picture sigs, what about the ten-stanza poems... I hope mine isn't too big, I've often considered downsizing it or scrapping it all together. I'd say yours is not offensive How bout the ones with BOTH?!

longdistancewinner Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'd say yours is not offensive How bout the ones with BOTH?! Thanks, none offensive I like The ones with both make me laugh. They add teeny, tiny pictures and, then, a thousand line poem underneath (slight exaggeration there)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebk Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I love that the board is using more of the screen width and the borders are thinner. What I miss (so far) are the "top of page" button and the "new posts since you were last here (paraphrased)" choice at the top of the page. There is the "today's active topics" but there doesn't seem to be a "go to first unread post" choice there. I'll get used to it... it does look lovely!

BonzoLikeDrumer Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Thats the same thing for me, its just I want to remove one of the pictures/gifs, but it won't let me So for now, i'm stuck with a signatire that has that stupid "This photo has been removed" thing Boy!! You better be glad it wasn't a picture you wanted off the board like an old tattoo of an ex-girlfriend or some thing!!! Ha Ha Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood why you need to say that much. I have a picture, and then 4 lines of text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joiletjake Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I don't like the LZ1 font which I find hard to read. I personally like the standard forum font better. The one that's in the post reply box is perfect but I can't remember how it was earlier so perhaps no difference there... Where's the "mark topics read" button? It's essential when you want to avoid all the noob/bulge/omg he's so cute!!! threads and want to see what really is new posts on your next visit.

In other words, go to say pre/post zep and you'll see it on the right side. It doesn't take you back to the main page as the other version did, but clears all the posts. If you want to mark the whole board as read, go to the main page and scroll all the way down to the bottom left. It's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that I just was looking at the right part of the screen where it used to be (and still are on the other two forum layouts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrophile Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I love how when you have Fast Reply enabled, you just click inside the box and you have all the formatting available to you, instead of before when you'd have to do a full reply if you didn't feel like typing out the codes. Also, I love how easy inserting links, pics and media into posts is now. Excellent, excellent job Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamarine Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 How come no matter how many messages I delete, my messenger tells me I've got 100% of my quota? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms_zeppelin94 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 How come no matter how many messages I delete, my messenger tells me I've got 100% of my quota? I actually came on this thread to see if anybody had an answer to that. I'm glad it's not just me. Also, all my messages were copied, so I had 2 copies of every message in my inbox, and now it says they're all deleted conversations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, all my messages were copied, so I had 2 copies of every message in my inbox, and now it says they're all deleted conversations Just noticed I have two of all my messages too, and they too are "deleted," although I can still read them. But despite deleting the copies, it still says I have 100% of my quota. I must be misunderstanding this or something. By deleting a fair number (not counting the duplicates), I'm now down to 93%. I seem to have had way more messages here than I did on the old version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators sam_webmaster Posted August 24, 2009 Author Administrators Share Posted August 24, 2009 Doing some work on the server today. Some of the old PMs in the database may have been re-cached. Just delete & remove any duplicates you might have. Also, the display of "View New Content" is fixed for the default template.

Katuschka Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 So it appears! Evidently the voices are being heard! Yeah Steve, the modifications continue! I like this font better. A bit more classy than plain old Ariel. Keep it coming Sam!! You're on a roll!!! I just wanted to mention that I don't like it at all. Other modifications are quite good, but the font...I just find the new serifed one rather distracting, and a bit amateurish. Not as "reader-friendly" as the good old antigue, and lacking the neatness of Arial, too. But that's, of course, just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(at the bottom left of the page) 1) LZ1 (default skin) 2) LZ2 (same as default, using verdana font) 3) IP.Board (alternate clean/blue version) Also, for anyone still having problems viewing/using the board, make sure you are using a current browser. (i.e. NOT the AOL browser). Use Firefox 3.5, I.E. 7 or 8, Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Question - with the new updates, when you get a private message and respond, then delete the conversation - does the person still get the message? A couple of times I've done that and then not heard back from people. Could be just not needing to respond which is fine but I wanted to make sure the deletion doesn't do something strange. Thanks!
