Mrs Frugal Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Made me jump, SarahJo . I love that font colour, by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I think there are too many colors going on in one page. Name Of Poster Posted Date Font Signature Users browsing this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I also agree about the external links. I've got so used to them being in a separate window that I keep closing the whole forum each time which has made me shout at my computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi James, Good job! I agree about the external links - a new window is so much easier I cannot change the colour of the font on my signature... When you preview a post,the font is still defaulted to green,which is hard to read.... Apart from that it looks nice & shiney & new - I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Ah, yes I see them too. What are "bots" please? I'm a thick person. Bots are "robots" that go around websites and collects info from them, for google etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 They are lovely. I see them as spreaders of the chicken keeping word for anyone googling or using any of the other search engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBeale Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Thanks for the comments everyone. Nice to know I didn't break much (famous last words?) I'll have a look at the new links for everyone. In the mean while, if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel you can usually press that on a link to open it in a new tab / window. The green text in post preview should be partially resolved, that is your own preview should look OK, but the topic review at the bottom of the post page seems adament that it wants to remain green. Hopefully I'll be able it to get it to cooperate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Matt, is there any way that the mods online can be in bold font like they used to be? It makes it easier for forum members to notify a mod on duty of any problems if they are obvious and in bold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChirpyChirpyCheepCheep Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Could someone tell me what UTC +1 means. . . It's at the bottom right hand corner of everyone's screen or is it only special omleteers that have it? Sorry for being a thicky it used to say GMT +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Could someone tell me what UTC +1 means. . . It's at the bottom right hand corner of everyone's screen or is it only special omleteers that have it? Sorry for being a thicky it used to say GMT +1 Coordinated Universal Time or UCT seems to have taken over from GMT Some sort of progress I suppose http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChirpyChirpyCheepCheep Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Whoa. . . Thanks Rona. . . Forgot to add my thoughts on the updated forum. I think it looks fine although it will take a little getting used to. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Also, another thing I keep finding annoying is that when you hit the back arrow from the post it takes you to the index, rather than back to the forum you were using. I agree Other then that I like it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Ah, yes I see them too. What are "bots" please? I'm a thick person.

stoice Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Love it Although it says for example page 7 of 8 on a long thread i used to like a little underline under the page number to tell me how far into a thread i was. Any chance of having it back? Or just bolden (is that a word?) the page we're viewing? Also liked external links. Other than that GREAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 ooh ooh ooh I just remembered could we have a spell checker?? I am a terrible typer due to my tremor in my hands and sometimes I just forget to check the typing, whereas if we had a button I could press, I would have to check it, because I wouldn't want that button to sit there redunant and not fufill it's job If not possible I understand, it's a lovely board as it is, you'll just have to all bear with me. did I hear you all groan then?

Helly Welly Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 The little red rectangle that means "go to first unread post" doesn't seem to be working properly, at least not for me. I must have read the same post 7 times by now. And i would like a spell checker too but i can't say as i've ever seen one on any forum before.

Omlet Staff james Posted August 21, 2008 Author Omlet Staff Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi, Thanks for all the feedback. Clock At the moment the forum clock is incorrect ( i.e. + 1hr GMT ). I will change this back to normal late tonight so that all the post are correct as of tomorrow. Spell Checker We haven't found a good spell checker. The best thing that I can recommend is using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. It coming with a really good spell checker built in - so you can use it on all websites not just ours. You can download it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html . As well as the spell checker it also comes with lots of other goodies and is well worth a look, Keep the feedback coming - it is much appreciated. Thanks, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 yes maybe an uninstall and reinstall would work, I will try another time, the auto fill works, but this never has. anyhow......
