Title: All Problems & Requests Here.
Post by: Dave on January 10, 2007, 07:05:29 PM
This morning we upgraded the forum software. There are plenty of reasons for this, namely security and features, but the main point is that the theme/skin we had previously does not work with this version of the forum software. We are working to try and fix this, so please bear with us. We are aware that plenty of features you are used to using do not work at this point and that it looks quite shit; unfortunately until the old theme is reworked we are stuck like this.

The forum will NOT stay as it is. It will be fixed, so in the meantime you will have to do the best you can.

Cheers,

Admin team

Well......

I've been looking at the code and to change it will require lots of hours fannying on and tbh, I don't have the time or patience to do it just yet. If anyone wants to have a go at designing a theme for here, be my guest.

Title: Problems with site and new format
Post by: ujpest doza on January 10, 2007, 10:07:38 PM
The site keeps rejecting my password and telling me to log out etc and then when i do get on it gkeeps gibing me a load of gobbldygook rather than the messages.

The new format etc is a bit hard on the eyes as well, preferred it the way it was.


Title: Re: Please all read: The forum is NOT staying this way
Post by: Dave on January 10, 2007, 10:10:50 PM
It's fucked atm. We're working on it. It's not easy.

If anyone finds it easy, PM us. We could do with your help.

Logging in is easy. Log in as normal, then when the shite code appears, press back then refresh. When I did that I was logged in.

Title: Testing... (ALL Problems Here)
Post by: BlufPurdi on January 20, 2007, 05:08:48 PM
As you can see the forum is back, but there still is some work to be done.  So could you please post in here any problems you have. 

If you are wondering where the quick reply box is, look in your profile, and enable it, this is not something we can change.

Cheers.


Title: Re: Testing...
Post by: Toon's Taylor on January 20, 2007, 05:11:51 PM
cant access PM's yet, but am guessing thats on the to do list.

Also red writing, is that something i need to change or the forum?

Were open to ribbing until its changed ;)


Title: Re: Testing...
Post by: BlufPurdi on January 20, 2007, 05:12:52 PM
What red writing? 

PM thing is being sorted.  You should be able to access them though, just not see any of the old messages, no?

Sorry, better way to describe is, everything you can link to is in red writing.

Topics, names, profiles, options etc...

Any way of showing more than 14 topic titles?

Looks a little slim to the 50 or so we used to have, or is that a skin thing which will be sorted later?

Title: Re: Testing...
Post by: Dinho lad on January 20, 2007, 05:24:53 PM
yeah, but not anywhere near 50 please. :D

Any chance of having a hide button? To hide the other section i don't often use. like Hall Of Fame ,House of The Banned etc.

It looks quite OK I think.
Better than the last one.
You could do worse than stick with this

That said - some of the smilies dont work - the "rolls eyes" comes up as a smile, for instance ::) (see ?)

Thats what I was thinking as well.

Change is good sometimes, the old theme was getting a bit boring.

Is there any chance of getting the link think (Newcastle-Online Forum > Football > NUFC > Please read....) thing at the bottom of the page aswell so you dont have to scroll up?


Title: Re: Please all read: The forum is NOT staying this way
Post by: Dave on January 20, 2007, 07:52:47 PM
This theme isn't fully compatible with the forum software (keeps giving errors) so we can't keep it anyway.

Doesn't work for me at all :( Is there something somewhere in profile about it?

I like the black n back skin though - no more red writing.

I believe you can only see hotmaill address, not your actual signed up accounts.  Whether that happens to be the same as your MSN account, then so be it.

Normally they rank you in terms of how many posts you've made, but due to us having post counts off it just gives everyone 5 stars.  We'll probably remove it at some point.

And I think

1. The RED element to the theme needs to go - for no other reason than it is aesthetically displeasing.
2. The smilies need to be restored to their former glory.
3. My ban needs to be reinstated.

I received two PM's earlier (although I was lucky to have found them, as with having apparently 90 unread (I never did), it was difficult to notice), and both have now dissappeared. in fact. My total number of messages has decreased from 121 to 119.
