Re: Changes
Yes, it does seem quick. The text is smaller on my machine when side by side with the current site. There's nothing to frighten the members as far as I can see. It looks like a better use of space at the moment but that'll change back to `normal' when the avatar graphics go in! Is there any way of placing the graphics alongside the member text details instead of above it when they get inserted? I like the panorama banner graphics - you could do a sideline in selling them to railway modellers for use as backscenes on their layouts.

Re: Changes
I can't see anything in the admin control panel that would control the position of the avatar, I think it is set in the the stylesheet or the template for the page. Only setting are size of allowable image and on/off etc.Tizer wrote: It looks like a better use of space at the moment but that'll change back to `normal' when the avatar graphics go in!

Re: Changes
Text size struck me of course but Firefox will cure that for me if I have any trouble. You should see the size I have it set at to let me read the page at the moment!

Re: Changes
The text size on here is controlled by a mod and is set slightly larger than the default size shown on the test site. The size of monitor or display will have a knock on effect here as well I think.

Re: Changes
It doesn't look like too may people are up in arms about the new design, so It looks like I'm going to give him the go ahead.

Re: Changes
Reading what everyone has to say above about the new OG makes me think it must be like preparing for a new baby to be born - Are we all ready, have we done everything, will it be OK? Or the opening night of a new play - Will everything work, will everyone like it?
Oh the pressure! ...

I know I'm in my own little world, but it's OK... they know me here.

I suppose at some point we'll find we are using it and haven't noticed!

Re: Changes
He hasn't got back to me to confirm, so its up in the air I'm afraid.
It will still be the same platform, we're not changing from phpbb, its just going to be a simpler phpbb.

Re: Changes
The "man" is going to work on the board overnight Thursday 21st November. Starting at about 16:00 GMT. You probably won't be able to use the board until he's finished.

Re: Changes
Wow, it has changed. Slightly. Cleaner, uncluttered look. I like it.
Seems to work much faster for me. Well done.

Re: Changes
China is right, this isn't going to scare anyone off as long as they are used to using 'active topics' which is what I always do. I'd say it was faster as well. No doubt we'll have to niggle a bit and adjust but so far so good!

Re: Changes
One little glitch I have noted on my version of Firefox is that after submission I don't return to the topic automatically. No problem if you right click on the arrow in the top left hand corner and select 'active topics'.
I note there are no bots in the who's online panel. Does this mean they are there but not noted or have they lost us?

Re: Changes
The bots are there now Stanley. No problem returning to topic after submitting a post for me...it just takes a second or two.
Re: Changes
The not returning straight to post was an addon on the old OGFB, it was a conscious decision to leave it as standard phpbb, the developer commented on it. I've mentioned the lack of images to him. It is noticeably faster to my eyes

Re: Changes
I think it's faster as well.
One thing noticed apart from no images, the larger go to last post icon has been overwritten. I have a copy of the larger icon and can fix this, but I'll wait until our friend has finished, he may already have it in hand.
