Two more things to be changed on the forum...

[M. Bates]

Firstly, the font size is one size too small for my tastes.

Secondly... the padlock icon ( ) is too similar to the standard icon (

Apart from that, all is well!

------------

[Madmatt]

Yeah, I was looking into both of those actually. Be on the lookout over the next few days as I may try to enact both.

[Madmatt]

Okay, I got a new padlock icon that is more obvious but I am not sure about the font size, its seems rather TOO big at 800x600 and 1024x768.

I am going to set it back to the old setting but I am curious what other people say. I believe its the same as it was before the upgrade though.

Madmatt

[109 Gustav]

I'm using 1024x768, and it's a bit too small. Maybe use a different font?

Could you come up with a slightly less obvious padlock though? A compromise between the current and previous ones is needed, IMHO.

[Madmatt]

Well, I think its important to have an obvious Padlock Icon and thats pretty much what we got now. I will see what I might be able to come up with in the future though. I need to doublecheck the font size and type from the old forum still.

Madmatt,

My humble request: please change the color of the 'Pages' page number. When unread, the page number is white; when read the page number turns to a cream-like color, which is very hard to distinguish from white.

Thanks

[JoePrivate]

I'm at 1280x720 and I like the font size, but I may very well be in the minority.

[aka_tom_w]

I would prefer a larger font size like it was before. One size up from this one would be great I think.

Thanks

The colours Look GREAT

Good Work Matt!

For a larger fontsize all you windows users try this: Hit Control and at the same time scroll your mousewheel down. Works for now.

I haven't figured out yet how to do this without the scrollwheel.

I think the padlock is just fine. Clearly different. At 1024x768 the font is fine for me on a 15" monitor. I agree about the color difference being almost indistinguishable for read and unread. Looks great and lots of great work done, many thanks.

[Madmatt]

Well, it will be visited and unvisted links, there is no special read and unread color thread. I will look at making the visited link color a little brighter.

[Radar]

Hey juju, thats works great! Tanks...

...I've got to admit its getting better,

a little better all the time...

[kmead]

Great improvement on the visited/unvisited. The font is a bit big for me but it is easy to read. Many thanks

[aka_tom_w]

I think the font is PERFECT now (IMHO) like the way it used to be

Thanks

The font size is better now. Looks like it's the same size as the old forum. Can you make the really big text, like "Displayed Name," "Instant Graemlins," and "Message" smaller, though? They really are too big.

Well now I can have my iMac on the coffee table with my feet up, Airport connection, with my beer in my hand and read the forum while sitting back. It is definitely something I can live with.

[109 Gustav]

Sounds like you need a laptop.

Apparently not, at least not easily and not worth my time anymore.

Madmatt

[109 Gustav]

Thats ok.

[Wilhammer]

The yellow font on the header bar that starts with Hello,Username [log out] is hard to see.

I am running Windows, BTW.

[Maximus]

The Yellow Directory Tree (links) are hard to read. How about Red? Also their font is a wee bit too small. Can you bump that up by 2 bits or whatever the term is. (Can't remember the typing term.)

[Michael Emrys]

This is much better! The white and yellow script is a little faint against the light blue background, but since we really don't need to spend a lot of time reading those once we are familiar with them, I don't see that it is worth the trouble of hassling with them. Madmatt's time will be better spent helping get CM2 on the road IMHO.

I don't know if it's just me, but the default text size seems far far too large - and I'm running at 1280x on a 19" monitor. In the old forum I used to always go to View -> Text Size -> Smaller and when you upgraded the forum I breathed a sigh of relief that I didn't have to do that anymore... Most other UBB-based forums that you will go to will have it on that size setting. Here are three examples for your viewing pleasure...

Regardless though I still will come (just since I know you guys were holding your breath to find out . Oh and one more thing - please get rid of the "edited by" messages, since they seem to show up above the signatures... Anyway, keep up the good work,

I think the forum looks super-great. Thanks for all the work that went into it. IMHO, most of the recent (and subsequent) postings are not much more than whining and nit-picking. Mainly, I just want to send my Thanks to BTS for making this forum available to all of us. Great job, and keep up the good work!
