Woman in the Stands (WITS) 0 Posted October 19, 2010 Seems like there''s too much on the page and not so easy to navigate the pages. Will have to see how I get on but not keen so farPlus we''ve lost our pink colour - how can it be the Pink Un site if it''s not pink? [:^)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blahblahblah 2 Posted October 19, 2010 It looks like the page is referencing no .css files currently. I''m guessing that tweaks will continue, that the formatting will return once the tweaks are complete.Is this because of my 15 year old forum software quip ? I was only joking...

blahblahblah 2 Posted October 19, 2010 Tell me to mind my own business, but when the chaos subsides, you''ll want to do a 301 redirect from the old location to the new one I reckon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woman in the Stands (WITS) 0 Posted October 19, 2010 Pink has come back a bit. Obviously I wrote that observation prior to further formatting/changes. I was getting a whole list of stuff before the thread and had to scroll down half a page to get to each thread I was reading.The threads appear much narrower on the page or is that just me? It''s not filling my full screen as it used to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Raven 276 Posted October 19, 2010 Will look into the width. Imagine there''s a space on the right for future ads though...Will also see if we can get a set width for user details in the left on posts as the varying widths is already annoying me.I do like the nav bar making an appearance at the top though.

blahblahblah 2 Posted October 19, 2010 Nav bar is good, as it provides a consistent interface for getting around. For the sake of existing users, it might be worth finding out if the message board classes can carry the same typeface as the old board though. Verdana I think was the standard ?

blahblahblah 2 Posted October 19, 2010 Here are the main gripes as far as I can see...When using Firefox on a 1024 x 768 resolution ( there may be other issues for wider screens)Text is hard up against borders. give yourself 0.5 or 1 em of padding left.On threads with multiple pages, the page navigation used to be float:right, it''s now just floating.Reply and Quote buttons now appear below the title, which is fine, but creates a large empty space on the headerCells in general need a bit of padding, text is too close to borders to be easily read.Other than that well done, very smooth transition !

Woman in the Stands (WITS) 0 Posted October 19, 2010 I''ve lost the facility to open multiple tabs from pink un website as I used to keep a particular thread open and have discussion menus open on separate tabs by clicking on pink un logo at top of messageboard main page. I expect there''s a way round it but I''ve not discovered it yet.Also some features still to be tranferred over but I guess that''ll take a while longer as well.
