Nice new look

**Razor** · 05-12-2003

I like the new look chris.

**chris** · 06-12-2003

Thanks

Still playing

**Razor** · 06-12-2003

Kinda like having the avatars down the side though.

**chris** · 06-12-2003

What, like this ?

**jimbo** · 06-12-2003

yep...like it Chris.

PS Does it have a spell checker or will I keep my job?

**Channel Hopper** · 06-12-2003

Fine on the PC, but the laptop TFT screen contrast seems to give a 'sameness' of the colours used

And it seems slower, but it may be the ADSL throughput on a Saturday morning, will report later

**rolfw** · 06-12-2003

I'm finding that it loads more quickly, hope that this will help those using dialup.

**Channel Hopper** · 06-12-2003

Its it me or are the posts in 4:3 rather than widescreen ?

And I cannot browse the PC to upload a picture

Sorry if these are sounding like real criticisms Chris, just what Ive noticed

**rolfw** · 06-12-2003

The forum will not be full width, but the last one wasn't either CH, just checked the upload function and it isn't loading the "Browse" button, but that is something that Chris will have to do when he gets in tonight, I dare not touch it.

**Razor** · 06-12-2003

This is great..I would leave well enough alone.

**Schnuffi** · 07-12-2003

I think the new look is super.

**chris** · 07-12-2003

If you like the having the avatars down the side, you need to change an option in your User CP- http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/usercp.php

Then select- Edit Options

Then scroll down the page to- Thread Display Options

And change the setting for Postbit Layout

Change to Top to display the Avatar across the top of the post, or left for the classic look.

I view in 800 x 600 and it looks really nice.
Much credit to whoever did it!

Very nice new look Chris,
Just one thing for us old folk with not very good memories. Sometimes when I post a thread I forget where, so I used to check profile and then go the section that I need.
How can a "featherhead" like myself find threads and replies that we are looking for

**rolfw** · 07-12-2003

If you subscribe to threads when viewing them, you can then go to your usercp at the top of the main page and look under the subscribed threads section. You can ask for weekly or daily mails on responses Rob.

**chris** · 07-12-2003

Or you can click on your username from any of your post's... and from the drop down menu select find all post's by (UserName)

Then all your post's will appear like magic.

Can also do the same for any user just by clicking the username.

Have Fun

Thanks Rolf,
What with your and Chris's suggestions I will never get lost again.
Cheers

***Rob*** · 14-01-2004

Still love the new look Chris, and I have not got lost for ages, but the one thing that I miss from the original look is that a members location is no longer seen.
This was very helpful.

**rolfw** · 14-01-2004

Do you mean the location in the left hand side of the panel Rob, under the join date?

**Razor** · 14-01-2004

At the end of the page click on Currently Active Users, and you will see where everyone is.

***Rob*** · 15-01-2004

Hi Rolf & Razor,
What I meant was that before it would have i.e. "Rob, South Essex"
No big deal, but it just gave an idea were a person was from.
i.e. A few weeks ago T24 said he got Sirius Nordic beam with a 45cm dish. Considering where he lives its no problem, but unless you knew him you would read his message and think christ I can't get that with my 1 metre, or what ever.
How's your Force receiver going Razor ?

**rolfw** · 15-01-2004

Rob, the information is still there, you may have it disabled in your usercp options.

**Razor** · 15-01-2004

No sat coming into the house now for the last week.

Am working on it !

I do have a Digibox, but does that count ?

But Don't worry Rob the Force will soon be strong.

As you say Rolf I must have disabled it.
What option do I need in usercp ?
As you can see I got slighty distracted by the avatars, that one looks a bit like me but with more hair.

Will try again tomorrow, cheers.
