Thread: Site Upgrade (05-01-10) - Post Problems/Requests Here (READ INSTRUCTIONS IN POST #1)

Have you guys changed the new post layout?

Mine appears like below with a larger row height than usual

No we haven't but the latest version of VB has. there are 100's of CSS changes we are having to sort out. We will get to it, it is on the list but thank you for pointing it out

Hi all

Just to keep you all up to speed, I have sorted out some of the little bugs in the Classifieds and it's looking a little better. I have removed the most popular and the latest off the bottom of the page as these were not working at all well. If I get 5mins I'll see if I can re code them.

The Blog has a background now, Yes it's white but at least you can now read it.

I hope you are all enjoying the new found speed of the new server and hopfully this will mean we can get all the other fixes done. I have been asked not to make too many changes (infact they asked me to make none, but that ain't going to happen) for the first week as they want to keep working on the database and tweeks to keep the speed up.

As always let us know what you find, like, dislike etc and now the server seems to be working we will see what we can do.

All the best

Whenever I click Mark Forums Read I get the following message:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid.

Is there something I need to do to fix this? Thanks.

Hi guys, I quite like the black theme... very discreet in work!

Would it be possible to change the thread icons? I'm finding it very difficult to distinguish between the threads i've read and the ones I haven't.

Also, I see above that you are finding IE particularly troublesome. I really hope you can sort something out, as this is my view from work!

POSTED IN THE NEW COLOURS THREAD ALSO:

Not sure if this has already been mentioned but since the new colour I find that it's a lot slower to navigate around the site.
Doesn't seem like it's an internet connection speed or anything, more like when you are running a memory hungry application.
For example, when I scroll up and down or click on things there is a noticeable pause before anything happens. Especially if I click and drag the scroll bar at the side and move the page up and down, or use my mouse scroll button. Pause pause pause pause.

I'm using IE and it has happened when browsing the site from a few PCs.

Anyone else notice this?

colours are 100% better in the A3 section now. alot easyer to read. Forum is slightly slower but still better than it was before.

top job fellas

much better looking site now, much easier on the eyes with the black background

Good Work

I've looked at forum today from my laptop without logging in using firefox. I think it opens it on a different skin and all you can see
is white background with blue letters but everything messed up properly. Exactly the same way when I change skin of the forum.
Other than that it absolutely flies when I use GG Chrome

tis white writing with black bacground Slepy

Personally I much prefer black lettering on a white background. Is the black background the only version available?

Hi,

I have to say i like the colour theme!

Just some feedback, not sure if these have already been posted or are IE related problems.
- There seems to be a huge black space area at the bottom of threads, (like this one)
- "forum tools" and "search forum" writing colour is very dark, almost unreadable
- It seems the site is a little slower scrolling down the threads with pictures.. again that could be IE
- is the site now set to centre on the page? when i resotre down the page into a window, it squashes all the infor on the page, writing over writing.

God, this new skin is awful. Hurts my eyes!!!

Why not a Dark Grey back ground with Light Grey text? would have been much better than flat black!

The What's New is not working correctly for me. I'm using IE8 and it worked OK before the site went black. Now the Replies/Views column shows as 1 character wide.

Any timescale for a fix to this problem?

I've just had the mis-fortune of viewing ASN on IE6, all I can say is .

Totally understand all the frustrated users here, but I highly recommend you get Mozilla Firefox installed, it took less that 5 minutes to download and install it, and all is good viewing again.

You can do that too, I just find FireFox more virus proof.

firefox or ie still looks crap...............obviously admin dont give a toss

Are we EVER going to get a working What's New?

I'm going on holiday to Austria with my A3 tomorrow. I wonder if there will be a reply by the time I get back?

Don't be silly.

Since the upgrade, I can't the option to change the login ID (or visible name at least).... is that still available?

AFAIK it's an admin only task. I thought it always was.

Sorry i cannot do it for you either.

Thanks for the reply - weird - pretty sure I saw it somewhere previously....

Not sure if this is the right place to post but theres a thread that every time I try to open it gives an internal server error - http 500.

I know that other people can open it because they have been posting in it!

Any ideas?

Well it does seem to be working at long last. Now all we need is to sort out the horrible colour scheme or at least give the members on option of black and some else.

OK, just a couple of quick notes:

1) To the masses, we're working on some things at the moment. A full statement including apology, and chronicles of graft, pain, suffering, and triumph in equal measure will be forthcoming just as soon as the graft, pain and suffering has died down a little.

2) Yada yada - Dave, lets sort it out.

Update 23:24 23/07/10...

The graft, pain and suffering stages are now all but done - we're going to be in a position to provide not one, but several decent solutions to one of our main problem areas in due course. I know this sounds like a bit of a teaser, but it's simply just because we're not quite there yet; but in real terms our biggest headache is imminently gone...

More soon...

Rob.

Hi guys and girls.

Seem to have a slight issue with PMs being very squashed when opened. It seems to give the username, details of user and the date/subject of the PM, then have a space, followed by the message.

But it looks like the advertising banners (nice addition by the way!) are pushing the message down too far, making it quite difficult to read!

Will get a screen shot to help explain!
