What is going on with the Forum format?

[z3r010]

I've not seen a setting for that yet.

 

[Ex_Brit]

OK, no big deal.

 

[endeavor]

It's nice that you can edit PM's now (I don't think we could before?) ..and that they show in a live type of view or something...

 

[z3r010]

The PM's are now more like a thread, which is much better.

 

[endeavor]

seems nice, and I like that you can edit PM's quickly if you see a mistake after you send it.
I don't think you could edit it before? like that.

Are you thinking of doing the Seven, Eight, and Ten Forums like this too?

Testing, How to attach an image, but don't have it show on the bottom of the post as an attachment, and it only pops up when you click the highlighted linked link? ..and, it should be able to pop up in a separate window like we can do on Seven Forums

Hopefully in the coming month or two we will have them all converted, there is quite a bit of stuff that needs to be coded up first, but I've got people on that and hopefully what I learn from converting VF early will help make the transition of the other sites very smooth.

 

[Ex_Brit]

Good luck ;-)

By the way, I can see "Editor Templates" when I click my name up top or go to edit my Profile.
Should they be showing to us mere mortals?

 

[z3r010]

Yeah, we have them on the other sites, you can setup canned responses etc to save you asking the same info every time.

Once you set some up you get an extra button on the reply box to select your template if you want to use one.

 

[Ex_Brit]

Ah, that's good, thanks.

 

[z3r010]

@townsbg is everything working now for you?

 

[townsbg]

Well I'm not too crazy about it. I'm still looking around.

I only notice three things:

• I can't choose an alternate skin (sniff - but no biggie)
• I can't seem to stay logged in when I return back to the page. No cookies are blocked on my end.
• There is no section for OS in the hardware profile (again no biggie)

 

[z3r010]

There are no alternate skins atm while we get setup.

The logged in thing maybe a cookie conflict between the old site cookie and the new one - try clearing cookies.

The OS selection and system specs will be back in the coming weeks when they have been re-coded for the new platform.

 

[Ex_Brit]

I stay logged in, so one of those is OK

 

[Jody Thornton]

Clearing cookies didn't fix my login issue. But that's OK. I'll work at it.

fwiw, if I just close this webpage completely and come back, I'm still logged in as well; I'm booted to Win7 at the moment.

Wow that's interesting, I just logged on with Win10 on the computer next to me and came to this thread, and I noticed the same reply message that was sitting half finished in my reply box on Win7, automatically shows up in the reply box on Win10, and so I just continued typing to finish my message to finish and clicked to post it now. Closing the browser and come back to this forum I'm still logged in which is normal.

Yes same with Win8 too which I'm now booted to editing this message; it also keeps me logged on when I leave and come back.

 

[z3r010]

BTW I've added a basic dark skin for you folks that think the default is too bright.

 

[Ex_Brit]

Thanks. Default for me. Any chance of a wide one?

 

[z3r010]

Try the DM2018 skin, then above the search box at the top of the page to the right of the alert icon there is a button to change the page width.
