Forum layout has changed?
« on: December 14, 2013, 11:51:30 AM »
It appears the forum layout has changed...or have my settings just been fouled from what they were yesterday?

Did I miss a notice?

Take care.

It has changed.  Sometime last night.

Going to take some getting used to the way of seeing new posts since last visit.  We will see how long it takes to train this old dog.

Hey folks!

Yep, we did a long over due upgrade last night. The old forum software could not keep up with the overall security features on the server and other upgrades we are planning.

Like everything else that is new, it will take some time getting used to, but most of the features are the same.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Is there a setting/place/thingamabob that will let me know if I have a new PM?

don't mind a new layout and finding where every thing is, but it is the length of the page heading on the forum...

Scrolling wastes time and the long space between my Avatar and the messages I came to see is a pain.

right now, it is filled with an Ad on te right for Rapid Fire...so each time I want to look at the next message, I need to scroll down and get past that ad....a good way to get me to cuss at the particular topic of the ad.

I agree on the long header. This is on the to do list.

Same goes for PM alerts.

As Timothy said, if you have a new message, it will show up on the menu.

Example with one new message:

Thanks, Marshal...I should be saying thanks rather than complaining.

Take care.

Solus,

Another thing you can do to make the forum header smaller is simply to collapse it. To the far right of the area where it says "The Down Range TV Forum", you see a white arrow up icon. Click on it and the header area will be hidden.
