Let me know if anything's not working, awkward, worse than it was, or just looks odd.

Screen captures or page addresses are great. Thanks!

W7, SP1, Firefox.

Stuff on top, i.e., search bar, is out of proportion to the rest of the page. Mixes old & new fonts and style.

PS later The colors don't match.

The design of everything will be evolving toward the header, but we're not going to make all the changes at once to minimize any pain of changing the forum design and to avoid errors.

My comments are the same as Stu. I had just had a brand new computer installed at work some I am on the latest version of IE 10, Windows 7 Enterprise.
The reply with quote and the quick reply features seem clumsy, or is it just me?

I've been trying to use the new site this week and I agree. I'll do some work on the posting forms this weekend.

They Screwed Up The Web Site

I don't know what was broke, or what they were trying to fix, but they did a stellar job of screwing up the web site.....

But I guess they can do with it what they wish.....

Re: They Screwed Up The Web Site

Don, I'm going to combine this thread with the other that's already started.

Keep in mind it looks a little different on every combination of web browser and operating system, so if there's something that's broken for you please let us know what it is. Believe me, we want it to work well for you.

when hitting post reply before signing in the words "user name" and "password" are offset not lining up in the box for it.

When posting a reply the the box above the type in box does not have any explanation of what the top boxes are for just arrows pointing up and down.

The boxes below the arrows are spread out awkwardly taking up way to much space.

am using internet explorer 11

I'm working on a style sheet scheme that will restore everything to the way it was before. Well, not the nav bar and header, but everything in the forum layout. Hopefully that will be done by Monday.

Is the "all discussions" option coming back? Or is it still there and and I'm just overlooking it?

Good grief, how did we miss THAT? But we did. Thanks Gene, you're a hero!

BTW, I'm hoping to have the forms restored to their original state by the end of today.

Phil,

havin' fun yet? Whatever change you made has the big menu on top, requiring scrolling down a LOT. Not so good.

Keep it up, old buddy. :)

Okay, forum display should be restored to exactly what it was before the change. Only the header should be different.
