Title: Forum Changes!
Post by: ebewley on May 19, 2018, 09:04:26 AM

Hello All - In order to secure the webserver (https) it was necessary to change the theme and a few other settings. What you're seeing looks good to us but if you see something amiss or something is missing please PM me or reply to this post so we can solve it.

Thank you, Eric

A quick reply box?

I don't see a quick reply box - which I think of as a space that I can immediately start typing a reply.

What I am seeing, and I think is not how it should be, is a lot of wasted white space - the text of each post is below the poster details, rather than to the right of it - I can send you a screen capture if this is not what you're seeing.

I see both the Reply button at the top, and the Quick Reply at the bottom.  It will take a little to figure out how I like the actions now.  I did like that I could click on Unread at the top and get all sections of unread replies in the old form.

I think the new layout looks GREAT overall! I also see what Fordem mentioned with the text being below the user info rather than beside it, but only when it's windowed. If I maximize the window the text appears beside user info/avatar. Maybe a word wrap setting can be changed?
The other thing I notice is that if I'm not logged in, the newest post appears on top, so the OP is at the end. When I'm logged in it reverses to oldest (OP) first & replies after.

The change makes it difficult to follow the development of the thread. For example page 1 becomes page 5?

Still tweaking here and there... Adverts should be less intrusive now... and I think I've got the Avatars to function correctly. How does those two things look?

Thanks, Eric
