Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
Globaliser - many thanks for your help. Pleased to announce it is all sorted!
Regarding talk of a name change - I think you will find that the whole purpose of this board is to bring 'professional pilots' together. The fact that flight engineers, ground technicians, air traffic controllers etc all use it does not change the core client group that PPRUNE was set up to cater for. Due to the excellent quality of what is on offer here, many other aviation professionals have been drawn here and their contributions are obviously most welcome. The bottom line is, however, that this is fundamentally for professional pilots as it's title suggests.

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
My biggest complaint is certainly the font size.
I obviously know about the browser specific settings but the problem is that the relative sizes of the fonts are inadequate: reducing the main listing fonts to something acceptable makes everything else unreadable (i.e. too small) !
Is a per user setting supported ?

I've had a quick look on vBulletin's own user board and can't find anything similar to your problem, so it may be on your own setup. There is no way for an individual user to set relative text sizes through the User CP. That I've found, anyway!

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
Credit due: that is *so* much better with the poster details on the left.
Nice one.
Point taken - I realised you would almost certainly know yourself but many people don't realise they can do it without even moving their hands from the keyboard and/or scroll wheel, so I tend to point it out where appropriate.
Obviously you could also, in Firefox, hack the CSS in the Web Dev Extension
If the main font *is* bigger than it used to be, it seems to me to only be fractionally. Ah, sorry, you're referring to the listings, not the posts, in which case I kind of see what you mean.
Cheers,
Rich.

Re: Search function
I believe it is not working at the moment.
Just use google, but after your search string put "site
prune.org".
For example search for: bmi baby siteprune.org
Works a treat.
Edit to say those smily things should be a colon, followed by the first 'p' of pprune.

Change the titles?
Flight Detent and N S Fletcher,
As a professional pilot, who has flown both aircraft with flight engineers and ones without, I count the flight engineers as very professional cockpit members.
While it is over the top to expect PPRuNe to change its headings at this late stage, I am sure that the majority of us welcome the FEs as sterling fellows and natural contributors to this forum, so please feel included in the generic term.
FC.

It appears this software auto-fills in the "Title" field at the beginning of each post - that Re: line at the top of each post (except mine). Repetitive, redundant information like this interferes a bit with the speed reading most of us practice. And I can't recall any other vBulletin board where that switch is turned "on."
Otherwise, it's a good move, and a great look!

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
Suggestions:
IMHO To get even greater use of that scree real estate perhaps all the info "Joined...etc." could be placed in the light blue area left aligned on the line with the Quote icon.
Also the text of the ad for a personal title could be shortened especially as the No. of posts is on the info line - think that "click here for a personal title" would do fine...
Being able to jump to buddy's on the buddy list was useful - shame its gone
Cheers, Gofer

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
I LIKE IT
Just wish I could access it from home.
Have tried following Danny's idiot guide for those of us having problems but still can't get past page one.
Have had to change nothing on several work PCs.
