Forum Tweaks and additions

[bubbles19]

Hey Admin

Keep noticing all the little changes (mostly visual) that you are making around here.

new icons/buttons along the top, additions to the poster's info on the right side of a post etc - all makes the forum look smarter and much more professional

[Admin]

Hello
Thanks. (I think).
There isn't too much you can do with this format, other than cosmetic tweaking.
It is after all a "forum kit".
Though I guess they all are.
Can't do much more now.
Unless I take a crash course in HTML.

Hi all ,

Since the last set of upgrades to the place a few things have changed for me.

The new posts that are highlighted in red when new do not extinguish when read. ? They stay active and it gets confusing.
Also it seems i cant see any if these thanks buttons or anything.

Just thought you guys should know.

Works as it should for me McT. The only time I thought that it didn't was when I had missed a post

[McstylisT]

It seems to be amended now. The threads showing they have been read helps.

Still cant locate the thanks buttons , can someone point them out to me.

Hi
I have a problem with the thanks button.
In some threads, but not others.
I can't pin down why that is either.
Added to which it is limited to one post per thread.
I'd rather pursue the Reputation concept.

Having said I no idea isn't quite true.
As there does seem to be a connection between having both "Quote" & "Multi-Quote".
Along with longer post titles.
Hence it is likely the "Thanks" button is "squeezed" out of the picture.

[bubbles19]

I can see the thanks button in this thread but it is grayed out.

Usually when thanks has been given in a thread the thanks button is not visible at all and the thanked post is a darker blue than the rest of the posts.

hello
I had already referred to this
http://www.knowledge-tree-uk.org/general-chat-f37/reputation-thanks-button-t86.htm
But I guess it is in the wrong section.

[Admin]

Hello
As I've not seen many (if any folk) use "Multi-Quote".
I have disabled it (temporary).
To see if that changes anything.

[Admin]

Hello
I believe I have it sussed.
By enabling the "Rep" to show in profile only.
It allows the the thanks button to appear.
However it is browser related to.
So IE users get the best deal. (AFAIK).
Cause Opera still isn't really showing the thanks at all.

[Admin]

Hello
Opera 10.10 Beta.


IE 8.


No idea how you FF users will get on...

[Admin]

Hello
Spoke to soon.
The appearance (or not) of the "Thanks" button is still spoadic at best.
So I have disabled it.
Enabled everything else.
With the "Thanks" only one person, per post/thread got to "thank you".
With the points, all members can show their appreciation (or not).
Of every single post in any thread.
Which seems to be a more fair approach to you all.

Hey - save the foxes


You could have something there Admin as your sig is not what it should be viewing through FF at the moment. Might just need to clear & restart FF - can see your sig fine through IE

[zebadee]

Hi
WTF!!!
Alex!!!!
Your sig keeps changing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What? Who?

What do you think?

[bubbles19]

Must be that pesky forum poltergeist that does it......maybe time to call in Scooby Doo & the mystery machine

Looks much better - thank you

[Hugo]

For those who can't see the Thanks button here it is. THANKS

[JayCee]

For those who can't see the Thanks button here it is. THANKS

THANKS for that Hugo. It's the only one I can see.

THANKS for that Hugo. It's the only one I can see.

or you would THANK hugo if you could find a thanks button

[Admin]

Hello
Well a changes have taken place over the last 7 days.
Including "Report post" & "Flags".
Also bubbles19 has created a info re UK forum....
So get promoting your area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The "Thanks" button just isn't going to work in the way I want it to.
You could only thank one member per thread.
If someone beat you to it.
It was all over.
The Rep bit allows you to give & take points for each & every post.
This is not affected by other members choices either.
So seems a much fairer way to go.

BTW The affiliates button for UDVDR takes to their site.
The Slysoft one (plus those in bubbles19 & my sig) are UDVDR affiliated.
So Ultimate should get any benefits.
