Nick Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hello,The forum has updated and as you can probably see, it looks a lot different. I've put it online a little early as I trust you can appreciate it needs a lot of changes and I need your help with regards feedback. I'm also new to the update, so I'm learning too!Design: Are the colours right? Do they clash? Where and what colours do you think would be best?Homepage: Currently offline, I'll do this at a later date.Any old features you can't find?Anything that doesn't work?Anyway, enjoy!

stretch Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Looking good Nick. I can't find the 'view my content' link which used to show your latest topcis which wa shandy for keeping an eye on FS threads etc. I found the 'my activity' link but that defaults to my latest posts and I have to click 'topics' not really a big deal but was very useful on the old setup.

Nick Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 View New Content is replaced by Activity Stream, if you click "More" top right. It's the same but better with filters.I have no idea where signatures have gone, let me check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 I believe signatures are not working as the forum has to recompile/cache everything, which is a huge job, it's only done a very small percentage, this is why the forum might seem a little slow as the server is busy doing this and also, once it is compiled and cached within the server, it can load a lot faster too.

Tamiyacowboy Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Truthful. i loved the old layout, maybe its me but this one just hurts my brain, dont know whycan we have the old template back but with modern look like this,when typing this post i can see we have been given a very basic bar at the top with less selections than a melted roses box of chocolates.also i have never had to adjust a monitor for a single website but its to garish , its like a punch to the face moto in RC dont fix it unless it need fixing and/or is broken ? why did we try fix a not broken forum ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Only been on it for two minutes, first thing I've noticed is the difference between read and unread topics, the shading isn't vivid enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khevolution Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 i realise its early days, for the new format, but i think the background colour needs changing to something other than white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedrum2010 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 It looks to me that every other thread is shaded, regardless of whether I've read it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 99% of the time in on the mobile version, we seem to have lost the simple button for switching between mobile and main site. It was down on the bottom left of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I also geeenerally view the mobile version and it was very handy just to click the bars in the top right corner and then click view new content, i find the activity stream painful.Also for some reason my android chrome browser now constantly crashes on the new layout.

Tug Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Revisiting topics; instead of taking me to the last post I read, it seems to only start at page one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fontie Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Needs a darker background colour imho, everything else is good and I can get used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fontie Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 After clicking 'submit reply' it takes about 30 seconds to save. The server is busy still caching and reconfiguring, I would assume it will get faster when done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyP Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) I like the new look. Wasn't offline long either Can't see the preview post option?Edit: Prefix's in the For Sales are all the same colour.

Gaz! Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Preferred the older layout personally, suppose we have to get used to it though..... Edited September 20, 2015 by big gaz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Doesn't look as good as the old version. Perhaps just refine the style a bit and make it look a bit more finished. Still has the look of a work in progress although it seems to work OK. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Early day's - and change is often painful. Priority for me is for a darker background colour - the white is making my eyes bleed.Otherwise I can't seem to replicate 'find my content' - ie threads i've posted in. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
