Re: New Format
Good morning Heliport and a Very Happy new Year!,
I must agree with the Captn, my old eyes are also finding things a little small!
But I like the colour and new sort of layout.

Re: New Format
I like it all.
I particulary like posted "10 minutes ago" etc. But I can understand peoples view point of prefering the old method.
Maybe one could combine the two?

Re: New Format
I love this new format...have played with the various features...some on purpose...some not but overall...much improved over the old format.
Re: New Format
Just two comments, requests really:
1) The size of each post has enlarged somewhat - the header bumph is now a significant proportion of the overall post. Could this be reduced slightly, to reduce the amount of scrolling required to read through a page ?
2)
Otherwise, looks nice and clean and probably has vastly more facilities than I'm ever likely to use or even discover the existence of.
Edit to remove 2 - just found 'forum jump' !!!

Re: New Format
Just trying the quick reply here... hope it works as I expect.
Heliport, on using the "Forum Tools" - "Mark this Forum Read" it seems the default return after it is marked read is the "sub forum". ie "Non Airline Forums" for Rotorheads. It used to just go back to the forum you were in.
Perhaps this could be changed to leave you in your "User CP". Seems a logical place to end up..................

Re: New Format
Well, the Rep Power numbers don't seem to have any connection with what the 'green box' says and why Nick would only have 4 points is beyond me? I note, on another thread, that BOAC has a score of 16; so I guess he must be very highly thought of!!
I agree that the active members list was a nice touch before.

Re: New Format
I assume rep is shorthand for reputation.
I notice FLs rep power is a big fat Zero! Thats not a dig at his profession is it Heliport?
I'd give him a few more. You never know when you might need him.
Edit: Oh Dear! I notice mines just reduced to zero too.
Edit. Now its gone completely. Good riddance.

Re: New Format
Could someone please explain how to get the search function to work??
All I ever get back is
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
I have invented some different terms of my own attempting to get a result
Otherwise new format seems fine to me

Re: New Format
I like the new format, it does help that I have used other forums running the same style.
I also find the bigger text more pleasing to the eyes so I use firefox which allows me to choose the text size appropriate to the website

Re: New Format
The search function isn't yet set up.
Priority was given to having the forums shut down for the shortest possible time while the software was changed. Danny and 'Ridley' (PPRuNe's IT expert) did an amazing job over the weekend to achieve that.
At the moment, the programme is running in basic 'default' mode but various aspects will be tweeked and changed to PPRuNe's requirements as time permits.
I miss the search function most of all and hope it will be set up soon because I use it at least once a day (usually more) for moderating purposes, but have no idea at what stage of the tweeking process it will be possible to do that.

Re: New Format
Heliport,
The full eitor is extremely irritating as it strips spaces between paragraphs making them more difficult to read in a long post.
Is there any way of avoiding this?

Re: New Format
Re the 'rep' system:
I've also noticed it comes up with some very odd results.
I don't know how it's set up or exactly how it works, and have no intention of using it.
Re other questions:
I don't know the answers. I'm slowly getting used to the new system myself.
Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I'll ensure the points posted here are seen by PPRuNe's IT experts.
