The new format is mucho confusing.

DT,
When I go to "What's new" a thread I started does not show up. I can find it in the section it is posted in and other guys have read it so I assume it shows up for them.

Don't use that whats new link...that is no good....

click forums....

then you'll see the arrow next to the new posts...

when you click the arrow you will see "todays posts" thats what you want

Yeah, right! That's what Bill Gates keeps telling us!!

Really, I was quite happy w/ the BB sw before. Everything worked just fine, now I do not like it any longer. I am not sure I want to put in the effort to make the transition. And I am one of the IT savvy and young-ones on this board...Go figure!

Then surely you understand the term "end-of-life" in the IT world. Support is nice on the net especially when so many 12 year old script kiddies target you.

Yeah it was always that way, if there are no unread replies or "poll votes" it will never show up in "New Posts". That's why people like "Today's Posts" so much.

Suggestion Request: Replace What's New with Todays Post when you upgrade the skin.....

[Seville]

In the old version, under Search, there was a quick option to "Find My Posts". Is that still available?

I plan on having both.

Yes I will add that also.

NOw I know what is bothering me about the new format; all the wasted space!

Go to any thread, and each post takes up almost an entire screen of my pc.

Theres a ton of wasted space.

My screen looks great.

i don't know if this has been asked before since i'm still trying to get use to the new look of the board, but is the box that highlights last post seen in each thread going to return. i forget what's the last post i read. sorry, if this has been asked before in a previous thread.

I like it! I like the new format, the new color and the desire to make upgrades. Yes, I need to make adjustments and learn how everything works and where it is, but overall I think the new format is an improvement. The whole feel of the format looks fresh and contemporary while also providing all the informational and conversational pieces we enjoy.

As for me, I say a sincere "Thank You" to Don Thomas and any others who have worked and continue to work hard on our behalf.

Muchas gracias!

No that hasn't been mentioned, but can refresh my memory on where the highlight was?

I see what you mean.
Example: The posters name and info was on the same line with their other information (joined date, number of thanks etc.). One was set ragged left and the other ragged right.

Now it's on a line below, still flushed right which is good but leaves that big white sapce
Example 2: There's an extra line or return after a poster's last line of text. Look at the white space before you get to the grey/light bar.

Not real biggie just different.
Does this happen because of the defaults in the upgrade or a certain browser?

I use 3 different browsers

IPAD-Safari (by the way, the site looks so slick on the IPAD, very clear and the colors are vibrant)

IE-At work

Blackberry-Totally fucked up

Uhmmmmm that's what I'm talking about. Your screen shot is what I think it should look like, but I get that empty space to the right.
I just check using IE and Chrome. Still not seeing the setup like your screen shot.

[knotty]

i actually think i see it now, but the color is faint so it's hard to tell.

There are so many features on the board and everyone uses them differently that I'm still lost. If you have time make a screen shot and circle what you are talking about. I'm sure I can make it stand out more.

Can you post a screenshot? Also what version on IE? I have Chrome on a laptop but don't have it with me.
