Forum Software Upgrade

We’re working on the last poster thing for the forum display pages. We wanted to clean up the home page a bit, but that info is obviously useful when viewing a forum’s threads.

yay! the underlines are gone!

but the good-looking features for advances posting are gonet too

i like the new outlay…looks a bit more clean, though the size of the font of the homepage will need a bit of time to get used to

What does the font size look like to you, wherethetree, and what kind of browser are you using. Is your font size set to “normal”? Screen res info might help too…

Test of quick reply

im using firefox
the font is set to normal
screen res is 1280x800
its not a huge difference, just a minor one
the font size is just a bit smaller than it used to be, thats all

also, where it used to say

Sub-Forums:

<pre><code>* CC Top Universities

  • CC Top Liberal Arts Colleges
  • U.S. Service Academies
  • Alphabetic List of Colleges
    </code></pre>

now it has those but theyre horizontal and it looks really messy like the page misloaded.

The font shrunk a bit, I think a bit too much on the forums list, but in the forums they are a good size.

i use firefox myself, i dont liek the smaller font myself, it is of normal size in IE tho.

No, i recoded the layout of sub-forums to use css, versus hard code, if you decrease the size of your browser/desktop, they will layout to coinside with it, this benifits everyone down to the smallest desktop size, up to the largest.

I readded the last poster & time info back to the forum display pages.

i have a larger desktop size and it looks terrible… i think the old way benefitted me more :slight_smile: so you cant do an old fashioned < br> tag?

i really dont like it, at all.

Not a major issue, but your favicon.ico file (the logo that shows up in the address bar) has reverted to the vBulletin default instead of the CC logo
Other than that, I like the option to edit posts without loading a new page but the extremely small font (I have to increase my font everytime I load the page in Firefox) and the horizontal subforum listings are annoying :confused:

Edit: I was looking at the code and it seems like the “smallfont” CSS class is being used on all the dates, poster names, the words “Subforum” etc but not on thread titles. I don’t kniw if it’s supposed to be this way, but on my computer the text using the smallfont class actually appears larger than the text not using the class. In fact, all the text in the “smallfont” class is readable without changing my font settings.

I’m having a weird flash of color while loading the page.

EDIT: This only seems to happen in threads

Doubt it. Literally every message board I’ve been too, including the crappy free ones, counts posts. They probably accidentally turned it off.

I think that’s because the entire background for the website is blue (#000066) and then each table element has it’s own backgrounds manually set

After messing around with the CSS a bit, it seems that’s it.

What happened to the WYGISYS Editor…with the bold, underline, and italic tags?

what happend to the number of replies column in the forum index for a particular thread?

I want to be able to edit my old posts.

me too .

I do not really understand what the meaning of hard code versus css means, but all I know is that hundreds of people have mentioned that the font is simply too small and the layout looks like [fill your expletive].

What about hard coding BACK to what it was. It used to work and now it does NOT.

Maybe reading what Tanman wrote might help as well!
