The New Forum Software!

One thing that would be nice is if the window that we type into could be made a bit larger. It's a little hard to see what you've written sometimes with the small one.

The settings for that are in your profile

I don't know if this was intended by the admins:

Topic with over 100000 replies or 100000 views

It seems a bit high IMHO

I've been informed that the admins were considering removing the hot-topic feature completely, so setting it very high (like 100k) is an easy way to accomplish that. I'm fairly sure it's intentional.

To whomever changed the font size (Richard?), making it smaller, I have but one thing to say: THANK YOU !!!

[Karacan]

Yes, a heartfelt thank you from me, too.

[The_Tauren13]

i really like being able to see who posted the Last post on a thread, especially for sticky threads.

overall, i like the new look alot

BTW, in case folks hadn't noticed: contrary to the notice that was originally on the forum (and has since been removed/rewritten), you do NOT need to log off and log in again to get notification of PMs. A simple refresh (just like before the forum upgrade) is sufficient.

Once again, a heartfelt thanks to the good folks at Shrapnel for all their hard work in providing this upgrade, and for their ongoing task of ironing out all the kinks in the new code.

Cheers!

Yes, the font is now 2mm high :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( An no wonder, look at this EVIL stylesheet:
Code:

---

BODY,P,TABLE,TD,TR {   

  font-size: 11px;

  font-family: sans-serif, arial, verdana;

  color: 000000;

}

---

Ouch! Never, ever, under any condition, specify font sizes in px. It is the only totally surefire way of making the pages unreadable for somebody. Could you please kill that line? Or replace it with font-size: small; or something like that.

Thank you.

Alternatively, could we use some of the other stylesheets in the directory (threads//stylesheets)? I notice you can set this from the preferences, only the choice is non-existent. I don't care if something breaks

Actually, specifying font sizes in px is the best way to do it, because it guarantees that the fonts will be the same size in all browsers accross all platforms. pt is a very arbitrary measurement that varies from OS to OS and even browser to browser. You can still increase the text size in the View menu, however.

Richard has stated that there is a possibility he will use this new forum capability to allow a range of font sizes to be selected from. He just has to make some extra style sheets.
