It's caused by a bug when you don't use the default theme.

Also, am I the only one who uses the My Forums page mostly to find the threads I've recently posted in? Kind of annoying to have to click twice to get there instead of once like before.

No you're not, and yes it is annoying...

Argh, i don't like the new Advance Search.

Is buddies on the left side on top of categories now permanent?

It's a PITA to have to scroll down to the categories to change forums now.

I have FF 2.0.0.4 ... we need that Last Button for sure
Also, I do not see the curson Highlighting when I hover
over say a page # or the previous / next button .. Very
hard to tell which one you are currently on or trying to select.

Hopefully not.

Yeah, it's totally FTL. Categories is a fixed list, buddy lists shrink and grow. You can't even argue it's alphabetical order cos PM's are at the top where they should be.

I just noticed that is missing too.

The << is there but not the >>

Wait? I'm not seeing the options to turn off user avatars and smileys? Is there no longer a "light mode?"

There was a feature called Discussion Interface Type to removed them to speed up loading times, but it must've gotten dropped in the forum update. Hopefully they'll restore it soon.

Count me in on half the text going off to the right side when not using the default theme.

Count me in on the avater/title text being way too big in comparison to the rest of the forum text despite whatever size you make it

Did you even beta test this?? I mean honestly these are elementary mistakes. Every single time this forum software is 'upgraded' it gets 10x worse than it was before.. sorry but it's the truth :\

 

[thomsbrain]

the left frame with the menus is freakishly large now. i liked having the info there in the old one, but this one really cramps up the main frame's space. i guess i'm not a fan of fixing things that aren't broken.

What's missing? It looks very similar to before. I noticed sorting by date order has gone, but that seems to be the default behaviour now.

This is with the Graas Green color .. ok with Windows color

I am also having issues with the forum spacing. Topic tools is way out to the right.

FuseTalk revamped it for some reason, to relieve space and keeping it well organized into sections. At least I don't have to scroll down further to see how far I've progressed in the forums, I can just go from one section to the next.

Are the archives all gone???

Yeah, that's the problem i'm having with the Advance Search.

Here are some of the issues I've seen in the first 30 seconds of using the new software. This is meant to be constructive.. but you can understand why people are probably a bit upset I imagine.

So the search was "upgraded" again?
Sweet.

So what are the new features besides the upgraded visuals?

I prefer the mauve/tan/gray or whatever it was (I'm color blind). The white is too bright. Yes, I can turn down my monitor, but I was hoping I'd have an option to have the old colors. I can't find that in My Profile. To me, the change of colors is a downgrade, not an upgrade. Sorry...

In my experience, changing colors is usually a bad idea. I think the colors were fine. I just "upgraded" from Windows 2000 to XP Pro, and I much prefer the colors (etc.) in the former.

Talk about weird, I just made a post and typed "mauve/tan/gray" and when I hit the "g" I got a macro that sent 3 words to the screen! I'm WTF...

Uh, don't they test this stuff? I'm a programmer, so I know about testing before subjecting my users to my code. You hammer on it a while so you don't get embarrassed.

 

[K1052]

Any guesses as to why my cursor switches to the text entry icon on the page number selections?

I think Fusetalk got over that a long time ago

Right now the indexes are populating, expect some slowdowns over the next day or two anyway.

Good to see you here. Thanks for the updates. Is this why I can't find any of the archived threads, or did they not get moved?
