New forum skin/software bugs and issues

[GSRSOL]

Hello all 4G Tunas

If there are any issues that you find in your travels through the new site please post them in this thread.

Chances are we will already know about most of them, and are in the process of fixing them, but letting us know doesnt really hurt.

thanks for your patience!

is there going to be an optional skin? something with a darker layout?

We simply don't have the money to maintain multiple templates sorry Jon. Financially this upgrade was a big stretch for us anyway.

After the poll that I posted up looking for opinions, this is what I have come up with.

I just opened an attachment which was mega huge.
When it opened it didnt fix itself to the size of my screen, it stayed in its original resolution.
Is there a way we could get this to happen?

Cheers Deano, I'll look into it.

I mean the lightbox thing isn't really necessary, but it does look pretty speccy when it works properly.

When I access the forum from iPhone it comes up with what you would describe as a "lite" version???
Is there some way of changing it permanently? Instead of having to click " full version" everytime?

My name servers seemed to have finally refreshed.

Also, I second to what Jamo requested.

Works now.

EDIT: clicked on 'view persons blog' in their profile and I get
[#10675] Incorrect use of one of the board files.

Im using a 24" monitor at work. There's a large gap to the left of people's avatars.
Is everybody else experiencing the same thing?

 

[Astron Boy]

The attached is what I'm seeing.
Resized to 800, but I have a 19" wide at work on 1440.

I don't like this new skin.

 

[jase]

I don't like this new skin.

Can I just make a point of saying this now...

I've spent the last 5 or so days getting very little sleep and working to make this forum better for all of you.

I don't expect that everyone likes the design, after running the technical side of this forum for something like 5 years now, along with many other communities, I've found that it is impossible to please everyone all of the time.

However, I expect that if you want to criticise my efforts, you keep it constructive. Comments like the above are useless, and if I wanted to be generous and cater to your wants, I have absolutely no way of doing that. It gives me absolutely nothing to work on.

Thanks Astronboy. hmmm... wierd. Im now at home on my 22" monitor at 1680x1050 resolution and forum layout is much better and spaced perfectly for the widescreen = its definitely filling up the widescreen monitor well
But the 24" monitor at work has a large gap to the left hand side of the avatars (ie avatars start 1/3 of the way across the screen) and some threads have staggered paragraphs and the appearance of the forum is misaligned??
I'll check work's resolution settings tomorrow to see what it's set at and provide some feedback to the forum. A simple resolution change must be all that it needs by looks of it

Jase, you're efforts are appreciated. Im sure Shayne just meant the colour scheme wasnt his cup of tea lol (the colour looks like a highly contrasted burnt orange instead of red. Is that right?).
The actual forum upgrade and new additions are great

Oh forgot to ask. Is the 'private rides' section getting resurrected?

 

[Astron Boy]

Just noticed another weird error.

Probably not of real concern, but if you click on a categories name, either within a thread, or in the forum index, it gives the following:
[#103139] You do not have permission to view this forum.
Yet... I do... :unsure:

Ive just loaded the forum up now again on iPhone and didn't have to click on full version this time! I did it earlier today, when I posted the question above, and each time had to re select "full version " for some reason?? Either way it's working now so I'm happy!! The new skin looks ok, I think, it will just take a bit of getting used to, and a bit of tinkering..to work out how to use all the new ad ons.
