Good job on the upgrade, Whoey! The only thing that quite distracts me when reading topics is the color coding of bars under the name of members.

There's still much to do. And most of it by myself. All in due time, please be patient.... The old forum was insecure, and we had to upgrade it one way or another... Rome wasn't built in a day.

Is it possible to align the sigs with the bottom of the allotted 'post space' rather than having them start right under the last line of the post and leaving a massive gap between the end of the sig and the end of the allotted space....if that makes any sense!? No rush though i can live with it like this if it's not easy/possible :)

<PROFILE>
<FORUM PROFILE>
Then a couple of rows down from that:
<MODIFY PROFILE>
<BUDDIES/IGNORE LIST>

Just had a test, it works well  :tu:

Hey, with black top and grey sides is much better then with the blue ones! Now I like it!  :tu:
IMHO the titles and the line under top black bar should be a little warmer - like the color HOME button (R-253, G-150, B-4 instead of R-202, G-45, B-11).
Will ever be logging to the forum on the secure site? I do not log at work in insecure sites because I do not want them to see my pasword...

Question about the new site set up...
Reply #50 on: November 05, 2010, 03:11:36 PM
Did we do away with the bookmarking option?  Also, what is the simplemachinesforum in upper right?
Thanks!

waiting for upgrade... this isn't an eyecandy upgrade, it's full on.

SMF = the forum software... I admit the logo looks terrible on dark background, but they don't provide an alternate or vector etc. at least not that I've found...

Hi, I'm a ignorant newbie.  :)

Ever since I got here I've been using bookmarks to keep track of my active threads, whereas in many other forums I instead use a "subscribed threads list" which is shown in my "control panel". Up to know I've assumed this is how it is here and have adapted. Since bookmarks are now (temporarily) on hold, and I'm completely lost, I ask, "Does this other method I use elsewhere exist here too, but I'm too stupid to find it?" Alternatively, when (roughly) will my bookmarks re-appear?

Thanks.

P.S. I do see the "Notify" option but have no interest in email notification if I don't have to, or is that the only way to have a "subscribed threads list"?

If you click on these links. They are in the top left.

Show unread posts since last visit. This will show all new posts since your last visit.

Show new replies to your posts. This will show all new posts in threads you have posted in.

Hope this helps  :tu: Took me about a month to work out the wonder of these links :D
