Changes to Boards - please read as we go along
 

Okay I am going to make some changes as requested to the current board upgrade. I do plan on adding a reverse order option again, however this is a code change and will require some design time.

One of the REALLY nice things about going to UBB Threads is since it is in php, and php is easy to code in, we can make hacks a lot easier than before.

Right now I have bumped the text size to 10, from 12 as it was before, to see what folks think.

I have also added an unlimited time edit to the SE:IV Board. You should be able to edit your Posts dating back forever. Let me know if this doesn't work...

I have added a quick UBB Code for a "Post Link" to help in getting back some of the links to individual Posts. It works like the URL UBB post.

I prefer 12 (I'd rather scroll than squint!)

I'll agree with that, scrolling is better than squinting.

Also, the old system gave us a little window on the page where we post replies in which we could scroll through the previous Posts.

Right now, typing this, I can only see the first post in this thread.

With the ability to choose a specific style sheet in your profile, it should be a snap for Richard to add a couple of "font size" styles, with the only differences being 8 pt, 10 pt, 12 pt, etc. fonts (as appropriate). This would be the optimal solution, rather than forcing the same font size on all Users.

Odd, I can get to this thread, by clicking where it is listed as the Lastest post. But I get 'Page cannot be displayed' when I try to open the SE IV forum.

http://69.56.133.54:81/threads/postl...mp;Board=UBB23

that's the one that won't come up.

hmmm... why is it using the IP and not a name?

[edit: still can't get to it]

Sorry Richard, but the old board seemed to flow a lot better on the eye, and everything you needed was right were you needed it.
Just my 2 cents, which converted to US cents is less then 0.
