You remember the little colored folders and Eye of Horus stuff?

Let me know which you prefer.

My only complaint would be that when I post a reply, especially from my phone.....the SUBMIT button is way, way, way down there because of all the smilies.....I kept losing my replies because I couldn't find the button.

Of course, it could be said that I shouldn't even BE on this site when I'm at work, but that's another story [0068.gif] [0068.gif]

The spacing before the post starts looks much better now.. Yup! Might add an extra line, if possible...

I wouldn't mind a larger type in the reply box... I'll see if we can do that...

AND...you do know Adam is all squished up, right?? [0002.gif] [0002.gif] Yup, second thing on the list!

Thanks for all the hard work you are doing to make this board perfect....but I wouldn't expect any less from you [0146.gif]

You asked us to come to this board to make any suggestions.
I notice that things are already a lot more 'readable'; lovely, thank you!
I see the avitar is now on the right side of the page. Even though this is strange, I'm sure I'll get used to it. That will be fixed when we move to our own domain.

However, the one problem that bothers me is that I like to refresh every time I finish reading a thread; that way, the 'envelope' at the side of the topic title becomes dimmed and I can see which threads I haven't read. On this board, refreshing the page takes you to the main menu which needs to be clicked again on the 'Let's Talk' section. First of all, if you've read a thread to its last page, the icon will reset as "read" automatically. You don't need to refresh. I'm not sure 'how' you are refreshing, but for me either using the circle next to the URL bar or hitting F5 leaves me on the same place I was at but will add the new posts that may have happened while I was reading. Also, at the bottom of the page you can simply click on "Return to Let's Talk" or you may opt (further down) to click on "Board Index".

Is there any way to put all topics on one page, like on the Neurox site? (I imagine not, as I've seen several sites that are similar to this one.) Nope. That cannot be done.

By the same token, if the 'Let's Talk' icon is pink, this means some threads haven't been read, and I'm not interested in reading all of them; I don't know until I get into the section whether there are new posts in the threads that I do read. That is the norm for any sub-forum... even at IDF, if you saw the 'Concert' sub-forum as unread, you needed to go into it to see which venues had new posts. When you're in the Let's Talk sub-forum, go read the threads that interest you that have 'unread posts'. Once you've read all the topics you want, on top, click on Mark Topics Read and they will ALL become "read" threads.
Thank you for all your good hard work!
