New site

[Scooter]

I like all the added features, and its still easy to use, however I think the old look was more comfortable/ welcoming and looks better overall.


Cheers

I prefered the look of the old one as well but unfortunatley when you upgrade to phpbb3 you have to use on of the phpbb3 templates/themes. There were only two red themes to pick from and the other one had a a big red rose for a background image.

So where is the rose?





Oh sorry, Kara is into knitting and its Rebecca who is into gardening.

Yeah, since being over run by roses at our new place I haven't been a big fan.

Hey Fred,

Is it possible to make the CEC logo in the top left corner into a clickable link to the board index? I want to say the old version had it, but honestly can't remember for sure. For some reason I keep going to it and trying to click it.

[Fred]

when I get a chance I'm sure it can be done

you can also click on "Board Index" hehe

I know it is taking some getting used to the new site but I will say this. Since the switch, we have not received one bit of spam.... knock on wood

[chossmonkey]

Yeah, I know about the Board Index tab. Just thought it might make the site a little more idiot friendly. I'm getting better at going to the correct spot the first time. If I don't get it right, the weather tab usually drops down on me as I scroll down and taunts me.

I am enjoying the lack of spam so far.

[Fred]

yeah I haven't decided yet if I like the navigation bar I added. Might look for something else.

Something I just noticed was when making a post and previewing it if someone else makes a post while you where typing up yours it will let you know and you can see the new post so you can rewrite your post if need be.

When I first saw it I thought I had hit a wrong button and was about to accidentally modify a post. It said something along line of, "Are you sure you want to do that, someone has already posted to this thread?" I quickly back pedaled and hit Preview again and it still came up so I did what I should have done the first time and took the time to see what was really going on.
