I like the new look and the bigger script.

The Dallas on TNT forum icon's missing

Mickey, I think you need to play with your "compatibility view" options on the "tools" drop-down.

[Mickey Fairgate]

I tried "thread tools" and that won't work, , so I don't know.

[Daniel Avery]

not "site tools" for this site....the toolbar at the top of your screen that controls how you view everything. Not sure what browser you use, so maybe you don't have this. It's the same place you go to temporarily allow pop-ups and such.

PM storage limit is showing 300, it needs to be changed to 30 so we won't have bandwidth problems.

Like the new look, but it needs to be shrunk just a bit,

Mickey! So glad to hear your worried about bandwidth, I am sure then you won't mind if we nix all the kill off games as they eat most of it up!

[Mickey Fairgate]

I'll get Babsie to get the shotgun after you, Luke,

Daniel, I use IE7, so I'll have to play around with it.

I like this new version better (larger banner, less...um, denim looking), but I don't like the way it still says "Soapy Director" under my name.

Where's our lovely blue hue gone? It was far more pleasant on the eyes - especially at 5 in the morning.

I don't mind the new banner, but all the red usernames and thread titles... I need dramamine (or should that be Mel O'Dramamine).

[Pamela Barnes]

But the blue was like electric blue on the threads. I thought that would be worse

I like the new look, the top looks great and it feels funky.

Yeah, where's the pretty blue?

Also, the posts are no longer numbered or time-stamped.

I preferred it in blue but it's still an improvement on the old site. Very modern looking.

I don't mind the red, but I do miss the date/time stamping.

Ok, now THAT is really annoying!
I have to constantly scroll now to read ANYthing!!



That wasn't like this before the changes. Please fix this.
I don't have a widescreen monitor because I've got a TV for watching movies!
This forum is no movie and doesn't need to be presented in cinamascope-format...

[Mickey Fairgate]

Glad to know I'm not the only one with that problem, I agree, Matthew, I hate all of this scrolling,

[Matthew Blaisdel]

First I thought that it's the big banner. Because here in the Help forum it's (almost) ok, just a tiny too big, but in the Dallas-Forums with those banners it's really a lot to scroll.
But it can't be the fault of the banner, because the banner has been there in the former version of the forum as well, and then I didn't have the scrolling problem. And I could never see the whole banner too, but that was ok.
Still I don't get it why all must be widescreen today.

[Luke]

The scrolling is NOT the forum, it is your browser.
Not sure to fix it, but I know for me switching the compalibility may help

[Matthew Blaisdel]

Can't be the browser, because this is only one of more than 30 vBulletin Forums I'm using and the ONLY one with that problem. So i won't DARE to touch the settings of my browser... ^^

two examples:





See..no scrolling. NO problem of the browser (setting)!
