Tweaking continues and will do for some time.

Reading flow should be better as of a couple of minutes ago.

What is this rating of "Rep Power:X" that is posted with a person's name ?

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 ?

Search Function
 

... is still not working.... :{

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

Much better now that the user details are to the left of the message.

Good work :)

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

The rep power thing is probably a moderator tool - and its gone anyway.

This is better still thanks PPRuNe Towers and all...

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

I don't see a problem - and I don't see many others complaining either, so it may be something with your browser setup, especially if you are using a very high-resolution monitor or an unusual browser. Have a check in your browser settings. I'm using Opera, and the text size is no different to how it was on the previous iteration of Ppune - and, having checked, that's true for IE6 as well.

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: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

Getting better every time!!

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

The tweeking is working.

Only concerned now that 'search' doesn't work

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

Arkroyal, try using the Advanced option - worked fine for me.

(Well it did an hour ago - still being tweaked perhaps?)

Search function
 

Am I the only one that are unable to perform a search on pprune?

Re: Search function
 

I believe it is not working at the moment.

Just use google, but after your search string put "site:pprune.org".

For example search for: bmi baby site:pprune.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
 

It's good

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:ok:
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.

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

Works for me!

Well worth the effort.

"Onward and upward"

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

Spell check - I definately agree

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

The search facility being fixed is my major wish!!

For spelling check, simply compose your stuff in word, then cut and paste it.

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

Your quiet rite off cours.

"Can we make the spell-chequer compulsory to stop infuriating errors"

is this the ultimate irony?

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

You spelt Phantom incorrectly;)

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

well, you try registering "Phantom" on pprune.

anyway, I used to phly them when I was young so poo to yoo. :8

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

This problem with logging in seems to be intermittent in nature for me. It is a bit inconvenient. :sad: I hope you will be inclined toward fixing the problem at your end if possible. Sometimes I can visit several threads without being required to log in again. Sometimes the server forgets my login right away. I do not believe there is any problem with my browser and I have never had any such trouble before your upgrade. Nor have I had any trouble at any other sites I visit. Therefore, I am hesitant to make any changes to my settings which may affect the functionality or security of my computer. I am not an advanced computer user and as a consequence, am not equipped to enter into a debate on technical computer issues.:confused: I do hope that the problem with your software is resolved soon so that I may continue to enjoy my visits to this site.

Otherwise, I am pleased by the new appearance of the site and find the functionality of the features I use to be exemplary. Please keep up the good work.:ok:

Best regards,

Westhawk

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

Preferred the old layout. Is it just a forum now? Where's all the old info re interviews etc that was not part of the forum?

PPRuNe Search function STILL not working!
 

Could any of the mods comment on when it is likely to be reinstated??

Not the same without it!

Over 250 posts so far. Perhaps I should click here and order a Personal Title"

Re: PPRuNe Search function STILL not working!
 

Will fix as and when time permits. It is on the to do list.

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

Looks good, and for me, the logon problem has gone the other way. Pprune used to always forget me in a day or two, no such problem anymore!

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

Well, I've waited a bit, but the search function doesn't work for me any more.

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

I wasn't sure at first because the gaps between the topics grew but now I have got used to it I prefer it. I am especially impressed with the topic description/content boxes that appear when the mouse is placed on the topic subject line. Excellent work, thanks

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

Talking of personal title; I've tried for some time now to get one but the system wont let me pay for it - hence no title. Is that problem server based or locally i.e. firewall? Can someone help me out here?

Can't pay for a title
 

Hi N38OUA,

Do you want to borrow my credit card?

Greetings, FC.:)

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

Danny and team,

this is a great job.

The layout is clean.
The screen ergonomics are pretty good.
The colours are good and balanced.
Within the limits of a web-app, the functionality is improved and good.

Most important is that the performance, judged only by my perception, is certainly no worse, and not an issue.

For your next update, maybe check-out the new, and inexpensive, thin-rich client (or RIA) technology.

Good job all round.
Keep up the good work.

Thank You to PPRUNES
 

Please feel free to move this to wherever as I could not find an appropriate forum to post.

Just wanted to extend a big thank you to the owners of PPRUNES for the new format. Much easier to navigate and the "new posts" options provides the opportunity to surf through many messages on many different forums that I've never taken the time to visit before.

Way to go!

Thanks.

PS.........is the "invisible" option still available? Can't seem to find it anywhere in the User CP.

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
 

Hi FC

Thanks but I think I'm not maxed out just yet. The problem must be elsewhere. But you can buy me a beer with your card anytime, same place.
Cheers
