Large Scale Central

New site testing

Hollywood…you’re not alone :wink: I use the links frequently.
The narrow forum and smaller photos are going to take some getting used to also.

To use Bob’s analogy, the kitchen may be closer to the dining room and he may not have to patch the roof anymore.
We’re now sitting at nice spacious tables with expansive views out the large windows. Soon to be crowded into booths with restricted views.
The service may be faster and more reliable, but I won’t be as comfortable :wink:
But, at least the clientele won’t change.

The new site has them at the top,

Forums » Track and Trestles

I could put below the “quick reply” box, too.

Bob,

When I quote a reply, how do I get MY response to NOT be quoted? I want it on yellow background, not the white quote. Does that make sense?

A quoted response does NOT show a picture in the reply. But, when I edit that same reply, the picture IS shown while editing. :o

No more emoticons? :frowning:

They aren’t “translated” in the new site.

Freight shed button brings up freight shed, but doesn’t post a picture in the reply?

I expected the Freight Shed button to operated the same way that My Files does in the current forum. It opens the Freight Shed in a new window, but doesn’t add the picture, like it does here.

Bob,
When I edit an existing post, I get the opportunity to optionally add another picture. It comes from my hard drive, and goes to some public location. Not my freight shed. Is this right?

That’s not only what I am talking about , but what I hoped you would do.
We have them at both the top and the bottom of each page on the current format, and this was requested by a few members of the site when you last upgraded. I personally find it convenient to read the page and use the topic or forum link to get to the next page, and not have to scroll back to the top of the page to get to the link.So yes please put them below the ‘Quick reply’ box also. And Thank you.

I think it’s just a pleasant addition to an already great site. And I do like the new site and the changes you’ve made.

/me makes more notes about what to fix…

Removed vestiges of “Attach a Photo” from editing a post.

“Forums » Track and Trestles” breadcrumb now at the bottom of the page.

I think I’d like this stuff to also be at the bottom of the screen - that way I don’t have to scroll back to the top to perform any of those actions.

Thank you Bob :slight_smile:

Done Moving on…

Dang. I guess I need to find something else for you to work on. :wink: (Like emoticons? :wink: )

Thanks, Bob. I like that a lot.

Direct link from the Freight shed popup to chat works. The forums is more problematic, since the forums now have the fancy editor. Working on it.

Need to get emoticons working again. They WERE at on point, guess I broke em.

Thanks for this, Bob. I use it a lot.

Fixed a user import bug that wasn’t bringing over your post count.
