Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
It all looks very nice but it doesn't seem to be working very well, it comes up with a lot of error messages and 'the administrator has disabled this function'
Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
I like the new style, but the search function does not appear to be working - try a quick search for something you know is on the board and no results come back.
Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
I don't like the current format, too much blurb (user data, coloured borders, etc to actual information. This is (IMHO) an information driven forum and the style layout should reflect that... It was far easier to read in its previous guise.
Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
I agree with mini
Threads are less readable with the new format.
With usernames, personal titles and user info appearing above each post, instead of to the side, this breaks up threads and makes it more difficult to follow a discussion.
With all this stuff off to the side you could glance at it when necessary - but now you have to wade through it as you scan down a thread.

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
I totally agree with the comments about too much eye candy getting in the way of information. The new software is very good - way better than the average forum out there, but if something could be done about increasing the infomation vs graphics ratio, that would be good. The space taken up with buttons, title bars, usernames etc is way more than the previous, and for readability of blocks of text it is well kinown that narrow columns work better, so the layout of previous system was easier to read.

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
I also agree with the above comments. I find the blue too bright and the personal info across the top breaks up the thread.
This is an example of a forum thread using (I think) the same software.
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=125195
I find that much easier to read.
Just my thoughts.

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
Can we make the data about a post much smaller? I seem to be scrolling more than reading.....
Funny enough when writing a reply and scrolling down the format is much better.

I agree, the layout of the photography-on-the net web site is so much more easy on the eye.
Also, what going on with the search funtion? I still can't get it to work.

Help! My private e-mail address is being infested with e-mails from PPRUNE telling me about every single reply that has appeared since my original reply - despite the e-mails saying I will not hear anything again! How do I stop this happening? Thanks in advance!

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
I agree the older format was easier on the eye, and easier to use!
That aside, I really can put up with anything that works.
My BIG comment is that I am personally aware of quite a few Professional Flight Engineers whom regularly use these forums and provide considerable input from time to time - my problem lies with the title of this Rumour & News....."lives as professional pilots" should read ...."lives as professional aviators" would seem more appropriate, I think!
How say you all?
Cheers, FD

Looks good! Though I do miss just being able to log on and see the list of the latest issues/headlines/posts down the right hand side of the screen.
Oh dear!!

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
In order to be objective I've given it a few days to see how I adapt to it. So far, not very well. I find it too much "in your face" and not friendly to the eyes (well mine anyway).
Too mean to buy a long personal title

- Go to your User CP.
- Go to List Subscriptions (in the list on the left hand side of the page).
- In the list that appears, check the boxes at the right of the row of each thread whose subscription you want to delete.
- In the drop-down menu immediately after the list of threads, go to Delete Subscription.
- Then click the Go button.
- Do as many times as necessary to unsubscribe from each thread that you don't want e-mails about.

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
Looking good, but it is difficult for me to figure out when some posts were posted. Like why "yesterday" and "today" instead of the actual date and time of the post?

Also agree with apparent consensus on putting the user info on the LHS, so the gap between posts is smaller, making threads *much* easier to follow.
