What's changed, is it Wise being removed from the banner.

[.comsaint]

Feck me. Thought I'd logged onto the UI by mistake for a second!

 

Looks good guys.

[Danny]

On my iPhone, Lambert overhangs the red on the banner, but on the laptop it's fine.

lol. Far more err..."class" of poster on here Granty. I like to think the UI as the Asda of forums...while this is without doubt Waitrose.

 

[Matthew Le God]

Should still work fine, if the URL has something like #post757304 at the end, it should jump to that post once the page has finished loading.

 

Still doesn't seem to work. Does it for everyone else?

Nope

Some epic new smileys here, it has to be said.

Aha, and in doing so I have discovered that smileys do not work...

Yeah I've just noticed some of the newer smileys don't seem to work, will look at them tomorrow. In the meantime, my bed is calling!

Did the old system resize images automatically if they were too big to be used as an avatar? I can't remember, but the new one certainly does.

Wanted this picture as an avatar for ages.

[Saintandy666]

Obviously you have to always get used to these things before you appreciate it and forget the old. No-one likes change, but at the same time... I am liking this upgrade as in the new features. Nice work This forum is well worth the £5 pounds I pay per year as well.

I'm sorry, but it looks cheap and tacky. Absolutely awful design at the top. Plain, boring and old fashioned.

[Deano6]

Wow - this looks sh1t. It's like how things were when the internet was just being invented. Is there a dial-up version too?

[Saint_clark]

For comparison that is how the place used to look (bar the colour scheme).

Right now I prefer the old way - whilst this new one is no doubt faster and has more features, it does sadly look the cheaper of the two - but i'm sure i'll come round to like it.

[Lets B Avenue]

Dont like it at all. Even allowing for my drunken inability to remember my password and log on.

[Big John]

The language options are English (US) or erm English (US)!

 

Is this an homage to Rob Green, lest he forgets?

[JustMike]

my first impression is it looks too "busy"

 

sure i will get used to it

[dubai_phil]

Arrrrrrrrrghhgh WTF I'm blind!

 

Infract yourselves admin.

 

Surely you must know that many regular posters tend to wake up with a hangover, how could you nasty cruel people have made the new forum so WHITE?!?!

 

And also, the red sash is supposed to go from top left to bottom right, not across the page.

[SO16_Saint]

Can you now not log in via tapatalk or is it just me?

[JustMike]

are we going to have a work safe style?

[Nexstar]

The old design was much nicer with the dark red colour scheme, also made it easier to see threads with new posts. Was that really the best banner of the lot?! Does look like a cheap knock-up job.

[stevegrant]

Not just you, Baj did the Tapatalk integration, he'll get that working again today.

 

Seems the smileys are working again now, which is strange as I've not actually changed anything!

[SFC Forever]

Seems ok to me. lot of work went into this by the looks of it.

[trousers]

Happy with the transformation - just one observation, the predominent white background is a bit "in your face"....the grey was much more hangover friendly (and probably kinder to the planet to boot....)

 

:-)

[Baj]

For all te moaners. Can I just pitch in and say this upgrade of the site (99.9999% of which was done by steve) is for mainly technical reasons. It allows us to better integrate all aspects of the site as well as keeping the software the runs the site up to date. To that end, the comments towards how it looks and feels, whilst taken into consideration, will take a back seat until the site is working completely smoothly.

Ah ha Smileys now work, can add the smiley winky thing to complete the my original post

[scotty]

I'll get my sunglasses

[Norm]

It's OK now that I've got my sunglasses on! Gosh, it's bright!

 

OK, I give in, it looks good.

 

 

Sorry Scotty, I didn't see your post above.

[OldNick]

How do you put up smileys etc?

[Hatch]

are we going to have a work safe style?

 

This, need a dull plain colour.

 

this red is a bit bright for a works PC..

[saint simes]

Looks fine to me... any chance of a screenshot to demonstrate?

 

 

[saintjay77]

1st impression is not good but just read Baj's post so once the techy stuff is all working I guess the looks will change to suit.

 

Suprised at the banner too. Not that I had a go at making one or would have been any better but it does seem like its a step down to what we had. That might just be due to the colour scemes and so on though so happy to wait and see.

[JustMike]

have noticed its quite slow to load at times too

[JustMike]

mine does this if i havent got the window maximised..........(in reply to saint simes screen shot)

[saintjay77]

Works for me in this thread but not on the poopy takeover saga in the lounge for some reason. EDIT: Url had 757150#post757150 at the end but the last post number was #27669 and the take me to the last post link took me to post #27652

 

Like the way the Reply with quote works though.

[Block 5]

I can't log in with the default browser on my HTC Hero.

I enter my user name and password and hit 'GO', then I end up with a white screen and nothing else.

Any ideas?

 

Problem solved.

Case closed.

Sorted

[saintalan]

Fine with the style but is there any way to change background colour and font size/colour?

 

I note at the bottom right there is only one style - default. Does that mean you have to subscribe to do what I want in order to read thru my aging eyes and specs?

 

Cheers

[Gingeletiss]

Where's my smilies?.......arggggggghhhhhh!!

[Shroppie]

Have the online games gone?

[dune]

I'm struggling to find anything that I like about any of it.

So now we've got the technical side done, can we now concentrate on making the look bearable again? Cant be that much work to change it to a different banner and perhaps ditch the very white background?

 

Can we have poll to decide on a banner? This one hasnt exactly gone down well.

[OldNick]

Lol now you know how Cortese feels Steve

Nope, ill be doing the modifications in my own time and ill be choosing whatever I think is best. Sorry to be blunt.

[Ken Tone]

Can't now log in on my blackberry. Anyone got a solution?

 

Also on my pc, when typing in this quick reply box, there is a 30 second or so time delay between my typing and the letters apppearing on the page.

 

K.

[stevegrant]

Just tried it on my Blackberry, managed to log in and it seems to work fine - are you getting any error message when you try to log in?

[Saint Billy]

Uhhhhhh, not sure I like the new look, will take some getting use to, course this has got nothing to do with the fact that my banner design was not selected.

 

 

Bloody travesty though!

[bridge too far]

have noticed its quite slow to load at times too

 

Yep, I'm finding that too

[Thedelldays]

after browsing around this place some more...i will say, what a complete error of judgement changing from the old format

 

this is terrible, slow, amatuer, kiddy, bright

 

sorry but hey ho
