    That is going to be a problem for a while, on my Samsung Gaxaly Tab or my HTC phone have the same issue with more than one forum i visit.

    You are obviously incorrect, even if you believe that yourself. If it was actually clear, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    I wouldn't be hurt if the like button went away...I just don't have a problem with a feel-good button existing without a counterbalancing feel-bad button. It's clear you want a feature suitable for polling purposes...you've directly said that more than once now.

    I don't like it. I like the background image fine, but the colors picked seem terrible for anyone with a gamma above 1.0 set. And personally, I usually have 1.4 or higher for everything, and 1.8 or higher for when playing EQ. There also isn't enough contrast in the colors. There's way too many greys in the CSS files I've looked at, and too many different values also. It's all over the place but with an emphasis on lighter shades.

    Again, it's not the general overall look, but rather the color choices for the text, and text backgrounds.

    Yther Ore.

    I couldn't care less about the like thing or if they added a dislike thing. I mean, what effect does it have? Unless they institute something that puts posts higher/lower based off likes, does it really matter?

    One thing (forgive me if it was already mentioned, I didn't feel like reading through 7 pages of this) I'd like to see is more visibility on the developer posts. With the color scheme and the way this is set up, its hard to notice if someone posting is a dev or not from the barely red name.

    Maybe a unique avatar or something, something that stands out.

    there are sticked post, the icon isn't by the thread name, it's under the start date column

    You can sticky threads on these forums. You will see a red pin if it's stuck.
  9. Caudyr Augur

    Ah. I stand corrected, then. I hadn't seen a stickied thread yet, so I wasn't sure (to be fair, I'm still trying to get through the Vet's Lounge posts from today :p heh).

    well, guess you have the edit button for a short time after posting your post. Then it disappears
    But it might be like the old foums need a 1000 100 post count to edit your posts???


    1st edit -test
    2nd edit -test
    3nd edit -test - oh 100 count old fourms OK
    4th edit -test
    5th edit -test
    6th edit -test -starting to wonder if you can only edit your last post-
    7th edit - test - my other two posts I dont see the edit option but I do on this message the last post - I keep editing.

    8th edit test - thanks for the info below

    You loose the edit after 30 mins.

    You can definitely edit more than one post up, so long as they are less than 30 minutes old.
  11. Caudyr Augur

    Maybe, I hope not, though...since the old forums only requires a post count of 100 to edit.

    You can definitely edit more than one post up, so long as they are less than 30 minutes old.

    On the plus side for these forums, clicking on a thread you read before takes you to the last post you read. That is a nice feature.
  13. Caudyr Augur

    Yeah, I do like that. At least now you don't have to go and find the last post read...I always hated doing that, especially in threads that have a lot of posts in them.
  14. Laronk Augur

    I think that not being able to edit after 30 minutes is great. Too many times have I seen someone retract their statements and been lost in a thread wondering WHAT IS GOING ON.

    They were black like everyone elses yesterday, so we have had a slight improvement on them, but they do need something a bit more unique to make them stand out more.

    A red EQ button maybe, or a red outline around their avatar.
  16. Yther Augur

    div modeLastPost.secondaryContent needs the box made taller. To left of the box is 2 lines, but inside the box only shows 1 line, or just slightly more than 1 line. Also remove the Latest: prefix on that box's content, as it's redundant. Obviously you should only be showing the latest posted thread.

    Yther Ore.

    Yther lives!

    I assume that they had to rush out the forum to facilitate beta testing -I sure hope we get a more -ahem- work friendly look to the forums. I haven't yet had to explain to anyone why the dragon is going all gangnam style on the barbarian lady. I'd rather not have to! :D

    Can we trade likes!

    the quotes are readable, but without perfect vision, the light/bright background with thin dark text isnt quite so easy on the eyes. can we like, invert all the colors?

    so much prefer black/dark background forums with light text to this blinding blurring garbage.
