Gregg Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Okay.Let's use this thread for the new look.So far, we have:1. Round Avatars2. Make posts stand out from the next one.3. Work on search feature.4. Will check on image sizes.5. If you're going to make smartarse comments, I will either ban or delete your account. Let me know if other things to add.
Kit Basher Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I like it. It fills the screen on my laptop, is easier to read, and photos look better.
Gregg Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I also playing around with the ad placements.The new one gives more options.Yes, they are necessary.They pay for the forum/server/hosting, which is now more than most of y'alls monthly hobby allowance, and then some!!!!
Ramfins59 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Gregg, is it going to be permanently necessary to have to Log In every time we come back into the Forum??
Guest Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I see no way of adding a signature in my profile or am I missing it somehow? I saw a box called profile feeds. Is that it?
Mooneyzs Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Gregg... this may be another dumb question but how do you delete message in your inbox now. I don't see where you can, but maybe I didn't find that button...
Gregg Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Rich, don't know about thatHaven't even touched members (wait, that sounds real real real bad.)I'll look.Chris, Haven't seen messages yet either. It's a huge work in progress. Hugh, is it gooder with 100% (the way right now) or at 95%, way it was five minutes ago? mahalo
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Wow. Making improvements rapidly, you are. Nice work.
Gregg Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Harry, see if you can delete Bill's postBill, no hard feelings, just want to see if he can delete posts now.Thanks.!!!!!
Kit Basher Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Hugh, is it gooder with 100% (the way right now) or at 95%, way it was five minutes agoHonestly, I can't really tell. It seems like everything is smaller, but that could be just an impression. I walked away for a little while, and it's hard to remember exactly what it looked like before.
Gregg Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Thanks, Hugh.I may go back to the 95%, just cause it leaves a little bit of wiggle room.
Petetrucker07 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Seems fine to me. Just takes some adjusting. We will all be used to it in no time. I think this will be better once all little things are learned and worked out.
Gregg Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Gregg, is it going to be permanently necessary to have to Log In every time we come back into the Forum??Rich, is it still happening?May have to reset that thingee (not cookie, but something like that)
Kit Basher Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Gregg, is it going to be permanently necessary to have to Log In every time we come back into the Forum?? I don't have to log in each time, but I have MCM forum as the home page on my browser. That might make a difference.
martinfan5 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Its getting better, starting like it now that I have got used to it a little bit.
Roadrunner Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 I walked away for a little while, and it's hard to remember exactly what it looked like before.I had the same experience with an old girlfriend.
russosborne Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Chat room question.I don't really use chat much anywhere, but just wanted to see what it looked like here.got the following message."Sorry, there is a problemThe chat room limit has been reached. You will not be able to join the chat room until some users first leave.Error code: 1H269/B" So what is the chat room size? and how do you turn off the stupid B I and U functions now and go back to single spaced lines?Thanks,Russ
Roadrunner Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Once I re-learn everything that I had become familiar with before, I think it'll work out great.
MyBradKeselowski Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 It's going to take awhile to get used to this new look kind of hard on the eyes. Still like the old look better.
slusher Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I like the new format myself. Real easy to read and i didn't have to sign in again. Avatars are square and bigger...
aurfalien Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) I thought to post some info on why MCM probably had to go down this route of change.I don't think they did it for changes sake but because of Google, who basically dictates search.Google, earlier this year released some new page rankinig metrics, basically how easily a site can be found, or in reality IF it can be found. They always release new metrics but this year was a real doozy!If you are not mobile friendly, ie; resposive, you will drop in rank and in fact may not exsist as most ppl don't venture past the 3rd search page.So to ppl who have not had the privilegde in discovering MCM on line, may no longer be able to. That is util MCM redid the site.Granted most of the internet is dark, not searchable and private meaning you gotta know the site URL to get to it. But still, to most normal sites and I'm sure MCM has an income stream from this site as I see ads, its crucial to abide by the latest best practices. Edited July 17, 2015 by aurfalien
