1930fordpickup Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Looks great and is working fine. I also got the black banner until I logged in. Happy Camper here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 One feature that's lacking that I'm missing already.........when you click on a post and then either go back to the original page, or close the tab, when the forum is refreshed the original post disappears from the page unless someone new responds to it. In the last format, the subject was simply "faded out" or highlighted in some form-------not totally gone. I could go to my history and recover the thread in case I wanted to respond, but as I mentioned before this'll take a while to get accustomed to all these changes. As far as being tablet and phone friendly, I get that's why the changes were made, but for me personally, I don't like at all responding to a post on my phone or tablet. Those are just for viewing this forum. It's just woefully annoying to me as I like to have an actual keyboard to type from, and for me with vision issues, I just flat out see better without everything being so "scrunched".

crazyjim Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The new and improved version seems to work OK for me. I don't like the disappearance of "New Content". It seems when I reply to a post that the post then disappears. I'm sure I'll get used to the new version given enough time. I'm very happy that the MCM forum is still here.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Metallic Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Looks good. Only thing I miss right now is the arrow on the right side of the screen that lets me scroll to the top of the page quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAT-T Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 HI DAVE, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING GREAT ON MY END, COUPLE THINGS I'VE NOTICED IS THE TEXT CONTRAST SEEMS LIGHTER THAN BEFORE. AT THE TOP, THE WORD FORUM IS DARK ENOUGH TO SEE, BUT THE OPTIONS TO THE RIGHT SEEM VERY FAINT. ALSO, THE TEXT SEEMS TO BE NOT AS SHARP AS BEFORE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Weren't the avatars square last night, or am I seeing first-hand evidence of the Mandela Effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) The avatars were square previously.  Round now, like on Facebook...cool. Edited November 27, 2017 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Slight change will take a couple of days to adapt to, but overall I like the look. I was able to go into messages and clear out the inbox of old messages in a matter of 5 minutes, seemed faster than previous method. Â Thanks Dave for the improvement, thanks to Gregg for having us and to Michael for keeping us in line! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone want to emulate Fazepuke? Shortly after I posted 40 minutes ago, they were square again. Now they're round again. Must be A-line drift. Seriously, PLEASE do square. Information in avatars gets lost around the edges of round. Edited November 27, 2017 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I think the round avatars are a standard or default feature of the latest version of the forum software. Â A couple other forums I'm on that use the same software are now showing round avatars. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 It looks a lot like The AACA forums and Woorworking Chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Ambrose Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Looks like I still need to work on the themes. I'll take a look and see what's out there. These only control appearance, and not functionality. Sorry, but if something is particularly bothersome, let me know. I might be able to tweak the behavior with the administration controls. Our current theme automatically accommodates phones and tablets, but perhaps not in the way that we'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
