What's Up with the New Forum?

It says I can't view certain pages. Am I in trouble?

I was able to enlarge the text and that helped/

 

Yeah, now you have to go into "Advanced" if you want to enlarge the text.

Did spmeone say they thought the new setup moves faster? I'm moving much slower.

 

I do like the new features. And can't see some of the pictures right now too.

Anyway, it's good looking

Just stuck some in the rear of the CPU. Didn't help.:computer:

 

Nice timing. Do it over a weekend.

I suspect there'll be some interesting comments showing up later tonight and tomorrow as revelers come back from 4th of July celebrations to the homestead ..

Personally, I'm gonna unplug my keyboard. It works every time.

 

Where are the smiley faces?

 

UMMMMMMMMMMM.

I just posted something in the "Classified" ads. When I did it, I got a message about the fact that I didn't have a default "SELLER" profile or something like that. I just clicked through.

OMG.

I've opened the item I have for sale on the CoinTalk Classified ads. My user name "Pocket Change" is in blue which means I can click it. When I do that, I get an error saying that GOOGLE MAPS is having an error finding me.

GOOGLE MAPS is looking for me because I listed two $7 coins on CT?

What is this about. Potential buyers can track us down to our houses?

Very worrisome. Bad error message

 

Yeah, should be a "check the box" to ad the PM ticker.

 

I like it! It's FAST!

 

Only problem I really have is I use the Windows 7 Snap Feature, and I normally have two different screens up at once, one on CT, and on either on eBay, iTunes, or YouTube. The problem is when any CT page is put to half screen, it looks like crap, and the text is going all over the place, overlapping different areas, really looks terrible. Never did that on the old site.

Although I agree it is extremely fast on the new site, and I haven't noticed a whole lot of things wrong and I'm sure Peter is working on everything else!

 

Peter,

The thing I didn't care for about the "Recent Posts" was the fact that if someone was conducting a contest or a "Guess the Grade", everything else got pushed off the list real fast. The same thing would happen when "Welcome" posts are inserted for newcomers. In many instances, you still had to go into each forum to check on new posts.

I'd rather see the wider format for posts which would allow us to view more per page. It would also allow us to post larger images, or at least place them side-by-side (which would nice). There is a lot of space wasted on every entry because personal data, i.e., Join Date, Location, # of Posts, Mood & Blog Entries is listed beneath the avatars. NGC used to use this format, and it was changed so that this info now appears in the top right of each post. It saves a lot of wasted space for each entry. I'm wondering if it is even necessary to show "Blog Entries". What is the purpose of it?

Mine, too, and I just performed a clean-up of my system.

Apache is not the software that was upgraded. Apache is web server software. What really was updated was the vBulletin forum software, which runs on top of Apache.

 

Me too? I'm all confused.
