Updating forum software

[PamelaE]

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

What do you mean the date time/stamping? I can see all the dates and times of posts

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

They may have older screen res and so have to scoll. It's been built for 16X9 displays on the Dallas forums. The rest of the site should adjust automatically. I think thats why you saw the banner slightly cut off as it auto readjusted but we fixed the width.

The general rule is to keep up to 1000px to meet older screen res but we have gone slightly over. I don't have to scroll on my TINY netbook but thats also new. So I guess it's people on old school monitors.

So to the person who made the decision to fix the width and makes me go scrolling all the time... will he/she buy me a 16x9 monitor?
Why this needs to be fixed, if that obviously doesn't need to be and is a BIG disadvantage for part of the users?

Do you need to scroll on the Dallas forum now?

[PamelaE]

Pamela, I can't see the date and time of posts or the post number (ex. 1-20, 21-40, etc.) It may seem minor (and it is), but I liked knowing what date things were said - it puts conversations in perspective.

[Matthew Blaisdel]

What if you scroll... to the left... to the right? Do those things appear then?
Maybe it's the same problem with that fixed resolution...

Oh no... now it's again scrolling time in the TNT-Dallas for me.

Too tiny you can always make bigger in your browser, but for me the fixed setting means constant left and right scrolling, it's almost unusable like that.

what browser are you using? I can see it fine.

[Scarlett]

I use IE8

The blue was way better on the eyes and for those that are sensory sensitive. However, I like the different color for the usernames on threads/posts.
Maybe a blue with a pastel color would be best???? Just my two cents... Maybe a vote would solve this problem. Democratic way...

How long has Soapchat been a "Television media discussion messageboard for the connoisseur"? Are you looking for a better class of posters?

Yes. Which is why you are being invited to stay.

Sure, registered and non banned users are all welcomed to vote!

1. If the current colors are difficult for visually impaired we will change to the blue but will enhance it first

2. Are you still scrolling in the Dallas forum? (we have not changed the TNT one yet)

3. I have no idea why you can't see timestamps. I can see them as usual. Can you provide a screenshot?

[Matthew Blaisdel]

to No. 2 - The old Dallas official Forum looks perfect now, no scrolling needed there.
Is there no way to implant that fixed or non-fixed appearence choice into everyones individual forum settings?

[Mickey Fairgate]

The only way I see time stamps, is if I go to the advanced option to reply to a thread, but they're not showing up otherwise.
The red is fine, but maybe it could be lightened up a shade or two??
Whatever templates you were using before the crash, there was no need to have all of this scrolling,
so it has to be something with the new templates, I have no problems with any of the other websites
I visit, so it can't just be because of a browser/monitor issue.
