    Press "home" on the breadcrumbs? Is that the page you mean?

    No idea. Its the 'new posts' tabs that I'm trying to find.

    :confused:

    One more quick thing: The dropdown on the right for "My Forums" is kinda limited as it does not display all of your subscriptions. I use this a lot to jump around as these are the only forums I read. Can this be extended?

    Also, on the main page it displays the latest 50 or so posts from your subscribed forums. Any chance you can have a 'next' button to see the next 50 etc?

    As much as I like the New Beta, I simply cant use it without the 'New Posts' tab/link. Will be sticking with Old Beta for now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,124 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    I think the colour scheme should possibly be changed. In particular the tabs along the top are a little hard to read

    Unfortunately it looks like it.

    Not quite what I asked though, I asked for something a little more concrete than "It looks cheap" and "It's not an improvement". But fair enough, thanks for trying it out anyways

    Danny

    Hey Danny sorry you just enervated me with the winks. it's the way you tell them ya know!
    sorry for saying it had a cheap look about it, I just meant it looks too stripped back, but then the original does too, but then that's the point of it, it has to be clean shaven. i'm giving up on my idealism anyway, it's too much trouble and by the way the site is great, was just in bad humour. Best of luck with the changes. I do like the way you can see on top right corner what new things have happened as regards new messages and new replies to threads, so that's cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,422 ✭✭✭just do it


    This seems to happen quite a bit: The 4 refers to followed threads but as you can see the drop-down shows 0!
    20120705233032.jpg

    Even now it is showing 2 despite all followed threads being checked a few minutes ago. There was a delay like this on the old version, but it seems to be alot worse with this new one.

    We're not expanding out the number of forums offered under the My Forums menu for reasons expanded upon in this post earlier in the thread.

    Pagination exists on the New Posts link which is coming back in the next update. I don't believe pagination will be added to any of the current home page tabs in it's current form.

    Issue: A minor consistancy issue more than anything, but most menus have now been converted to mouse over drop downs. The exception to this are the original vbulletin ones that remain, e.g. the forum/thread tools, search this forum/thread and rate this thread ones. It would probably make sense to convert them to mouseover too.

    I don't like this switch to mouseover. Remember there are people who can't use a mouse or other pointing device, and are dependant on their keyboard. How are they supposed to access the menus?

    And my own issue, which doesn't seem to have been covered already, based on a search of this thread;

    Type: Bug
    Issue: The 'follow thread' button at the bottom of each page brings up a dialog box. The default subscription type in this dialog box does not reflect the user's preferred default subscription. My default subscription is 'no notification' but this dialog defaults to 'instant notification'. Can this be changed to use the default user preference for subscriptions?

    I genuinely feel freaked out by the top bar - it's way too thick, there's no need for it being that thick! Could easily be reduced by 20 - 40 pixels. The most important thing on this website is the content. Between this bar, the start menu or top bar on mac, the actual viewing are for the content is being reduced - it's only at about 75% with these changes.

    /edit/

    Ok, you can stick it - cool.

    Both sides should be counted for. If you are tabbing through buttons/links, if one of them has a hover function it should also be triggered by a focus event from the tab button or by pressing enter when focused on the element.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember it being said that this skin is for keyboard+mouse on a desktop. I have no idea if they plan on making the website user friendly through keyboard alone (wouldn't take too much work since a lot of it does work now) or aria compliant.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but how do I get to action to top row menu from a keyboard?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,339 ✭✭✭me-skywalker


    Im switching back to OLD skin. The new skin isnt work friendly.

    I like to minimize my window when in work so its a small screen but with the new skin the 'grey site location' info bar and the general size of the font, tabs and borders means I have to stretch the window longer and larger.

    Please keep the old school option avail for all the office surfers out there!

    Any body having trouble selecting the my profile and my forums link on an iPad , had to switch back to the old skin just to view a private message


  • Registered Users Posts: 1 WanyeISBACkYES


    Looks great. For the people who don't like change they may be at a stage in Puberty so don't let some kids change your mind guys...
    Overall well done on the skin, looks great. Some of the icons could be updated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,752 ✭✭✭DeBurca


    Hi guys as per my other 2 posts I still cannot close/open/merge/move/copy etc with the new Beta skin

    If you click your username in the top right corner it gives you an option for user cp

    I reported the same problem with the iPad in a portrait mode.
    It works fine in landscape - assume it has something to do with the minimum width.

    Hope that helps!

    It looks the same to me. I don't think the link has worked!

    Also sometimes you have to hit the link twice on the iPad for it to work, happens to me sometimes.

    Read 1st post or use 'edit options' in CP.

    There's a link at the bottom of the first post which will switch you back.

    It probably would have been a good idea to keep the two links (activate/deactivate) together at the top of the post, rather than separated by 3 pages of text...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,637 ✭✭✭Show Time


    Nice work all involved.

    omg, wow... an amazing difference... looks great, well done.

    Feedback:
    -> Update the icons such as blue_star_*.gif,user_offline.gif,etc.
    -> More access to around the forum.
    -> More modern, (like IPB)
    -> etc..

    Thanks.

    -> Submit button on left side / Preview button on right side. (Switch them over)

    An example, also please update the icons in the postbit.
    Such as:
    im_icq.gif -> icq_protocol.png
    im_yahoo.gif -> yahoo.png
    im_msn.gif -> messenger.png
    etc..
    yellow_star_1.gif-> 031.png

    ....sorry, it's been so long since I asked on this thread, and I can't read all 50-60 pages since, to find out or not, but........

    1. Hover-over to expand sub-menu's : is this going to happen, or can't happen or....likely to happen, or..........A.Other reason ?
    2. Same thing but for the brightness - really, really need to tone it down....


    Just reading the last few pages, re space at the bottom - I think the bookmarks bar is redundant and could be done without.

    [edit] - just switched back to old skin and............instant relief on the eyesight.......it is measurably more comfortable to read (old)....so back I go to using it for another while......[/edit]

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I imagine you're not using plain old Firefox, and instead are using Firefox with HTTPS anywhere or some other addon to force a HTTPS connection. This won't work with Boards and none of the CSS styles will get loaded.

    Spot on Danny. Disabled HTTPS and working fine now. Cheers.

    Are there any plans to add sub-themes to this new theme i.e. allow people choose different colour schemes?

    Yes. Grey and black will be the first variants but obviously the priority is to make sure the it's generally working first and they will added down the line.

    A list of the feedback they've taken on board so far is in the first post.

    add a report mod feature to report mods abusing power or being OTT

    It already exists, in the form of PM, helpdesk (for a general report) and the DRP (to contest infractions and bans). ;)

    Don't see what this has to do with the new skin though?

    Has the number of unread threads/notifications next to your screen name disapeared from the bar at the top? It still shows in the dropdown list but its not next to my screen name anymore. Using IE9 on Windows 7.
