The new format is mucho confusing.

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

I'm using Chrome 10

[knotty]

I'm using Chrome 10.0.648.205

thanks, dmv, that's what i'm talking about, the little box on the left hand side. i guess when there are new post, it's a very faint gray, then after reading the post and coming back, it's white.

[DMV]

Thank you Don T, it's working now.

I also see my screen like DMV reported in post 81, with that block of 'Join date, age, etc' not aligned to the top and plenty of space in between.

My browser is IE 9.

My browser is IE 9.

I've tried Chrome, Firefox, safari, and I get the same as DMV posted.

Even if a post has only one line, the post from top crossbar to bottom crossbar takes up my entire screen.

Another minor issue I've noticed is that when you click on a post number (on the top right-hand corner of each post) we used to get the post on a separate window, which was useful to post links to specific posts in other threads, but that doesn't seem to be working now.

I get this message about 20% of the time I click on any posts in ISOC:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage



I know I don't have the fastest connection here but it is ONLY this site where that happens. It also happened before the upgrade. I highlight and "copy" every post I make because of this..... so I don't have to constantly retype it.

I was just about to post a screenshot of Chrome with it looking normal.

Funny thing DMV between your posts at 9:15pm and 9:41pm when I "fixed" it I was already in bed, asleep. And while Jimmy is great with paying the bill and uploading the best pics, I ensure you he didn't fix it either.

I have access to IE 6, 8, & 9. Firefox 3.x, Chrome, & Safari for the PC. Sorry I don't own a Makingtrash. And they all look "normal", of course there are differences but nothing crazy like what you are talking about. It might be your browser/PC settings especially since I fixed DMV's problem from my dreams.

I have noticed that our provider has been experiencing a lot more traffic delays. They are a liberal ISP, hence why we are with them.

I thought we had our own server?

I remember that let me look into it, might be a VB4 change.

Yes but our server shares it connection to the internet with all the other servers they sell.

Pick a color, any color.
Actually 2:
New Post color
Old Post color

I will change it.

DT,

I've attached below what I see, and I am using the default setting for IE 9, which doesn't cause any issues with all other websites and forums.

any darker color or one that just stands out would help.

Ok it was an issue on both ends, I have nothing smaller then 1600X1050 resolution, clearly you do. The spacing issue is fixed for all resolutions going down to 800X600. If you have smaller, UPGRADE!

This Style had alts to use:
Gray-blue = OLD
Yellow = NEW

Sorry you are SOL on this one.

In 4.x there is no showpost anymore, that's why clicking the link scrolls to it in the thread. This is not a bug, the View Single Post feature was removed to reduce duplicate content for the new VB4 SEO feature.

It looks OK now, thanks!

The new format is working great. I like it.

Thanks again for all the work DT has done to get us where we are.
