Upgrade: New Features

[Banana]

Well not sure what they all are. So if you find one then post a reply. Your fellow Bees supporters can then find out about them too.......

In the bottom left hand corner there's a drop down box that says "GPG" - you can change this to "Bulletin Board Standard" which will change the colours and virtually everything else on the page (maybe for use at the office.......).

 

[RT]

The standard colours look a lot better than the Red ones :computer:

Yes, not finished yet. Plus I'm crap at creative b***ocks like that

 

[Aussie Bee]

I've gone "blue" as well - lot easier on the eyes

 

[Luton Bee]

There is a link under quick links that opens up a "buddy list" that would appear to be a quick way of sending PM's.

Course it's no good to me as I have no buddies.......

 

[Vicky B]

This is strange, gonna take a bit of getting used to.
Alot more moden looking though.

 

[Vicky B]

Where's my angel gone, help

Nana, When you go to "who's online" you can see who the private messages are being sent to by the poster that is sending them.........

I thought that was happening. Don't see how to disable just that feature at the moment, so Who's Online is off for all users until I've had time to investigate.

Spoilsport :shake:

 

[Jay Bee]

If you hover over the title of a topic, you can see the first few lines of the first post.

Should be fixed. Although Who's Online won't give you as detailed information as what was on the previous board. Who's Online is "open" again.

When you're looking at a forum, the "thread envelope" has a downward arrow on it if you've posted on that thread, which I don't think we used to have.

It used to be a black dot on the envelope.

Biography

Users now seem to have a biography section in the User CP, this biography is visable to users browsing the memberlist. I trust there is a limit on what can be put into this field?

 

[Vicky B]

Report a bad post

Does that mean you can report that person by clicking on that button?

 

['Ayes B]

When reading a thread, If you scroll drown to the bottom of the screen it tells you who is reading it at the same time

 

[Mikey Bee]

It's going to take a while but I think the new board will be an improvement. I like the fact that a number of features are a single click away with the new interface. Colour scheme sucks, though. The Standard setting is much easier for my old eyes.

Well done 'Nana on your hard work

 

[Simon C]

Little icons at the top left of each post next to the date and time which show you whether you've read that post before or not. Smart.

 

[Wee Dave]

I like the blue colour scheme - exactly what I've been after all these years :bound:

Wossis 'event reminders'?

 

[lady bee]

am i right that we can't hide any more?
like it alot btw
nice work nana

 

['Ayes B]

Wossis 'event reminders'?

I dont know it wouldn't let me add tomorrows funday :sad:

 

[Edmundo]

No, you're still hidden, 'cept from mods and admins!

 

[RodBee]

Blue might be easier on the eyes - but hey! our colours are red and white!

Blue and white reminds me of Brighton, who must be the luckiesty play-off winners yet.

 

[abee]

What is the default time available to edit and delete posts???

 

[Romsey Bee]

Nice look but very s-l-o-w.


Could be my isp though


But the time delay is very handy for making cups of tea whilst switching forums. :yes:

 

[nocoat]

how do you edit posts?

as in the next morning when you sober up

 

[Mikey Bee]

I'm finding it a bit slower today though it could be Bank Holiday traffic jams....

Interesting feature that when you hover over the name of a thread that it shows you the first few lines of the thread without having to open it. Does that make sense ?

 

[Brickie Chap]

Where has the PM option gone?

Sorry pal but it was decided that it should be banned so that drunks can see the havoc they cause :computer:

 

[Edmundo]

Where has the PM option gone?

To PM someone, click on their name and it's one of the options. To get into your inbox, click on Quick Links at the top right of the page and it's one of the choices.

You have 240 minutes to edit a post before it's set in stone.
You can also edit the Thread's Title up to 60 minutes afterwards too.

[West Ealing Bee]

Looks very smart, will take time to work things out, but that's not a bad thing.

 

[Leonardo]

What are profile pictures and why don't they work?

 

[Banana]

Without stating the obvious Leonardo - it's a picture that goes on your profile.....

In what why "don't they work"?

that means i'm gonna have to be up near the geeks with my extra posts thru posting my winning horses... :computer:

 

[Leonardo]

OK it does appears to work although I did get some error message when trying to upload the image. You do wonder about whether it's neccessary to have this function as aren't the more images stored going to use more disk space or is there unlimited availabilty?

Now I must dust down that wonderful picture of me ...

A couple of winners would be nice this week :suspect:

 

[beesbeesbarmyarmy]

On the front page on the latest topics bit, it used to say 'Last Post By' which I used to find useful, has this disappeared?

Yes it has. I'm working on it.....

Well Done!

Done.

Just one more little update, clicking on the thread's title now takes you to the first new post in that thread.

 

['Ayes B]

Whenever I open a thread, I start to read the page and then it jumps, up the screen so that where my eyes are looking is about two replies down

I suspect this is the browser drawing slowly. This could be because i) you're on dial-up or ii) crap browser (please say it's IE )

The browser displays as it downloads but may have to make adjustments to cater for pictures etc. A solution could be to turn off avatars etc.

 

[JBN]

Some one could have warned me, I tried to navigate the new site on Sunday morning, with the hangover from hell.

But so far, it seems pretty good

 

[davebee]

would it be possible to get ones private message inbox listed in the list of forums like it used to be?
