Default Re: Welcome to the New Forum software!

The big buttons and font will take some getting used to for me, and that together with the not quite as wide boxes around all the important bits of the forum give me a bit of a claustrophobic experience. The width just does not seem sufficient, like it's all compressed beyond good aesthetics.
So, I suppose I'll need a few weeks to start to like it, or else Z'd have to rescale it to match the golden ratio

Also, the new code messes up my old colour tags in the RP section (gasp; disaster!) but other than that, things move smoothly.

You are correct! What you said Luv reminded me I set the forced display to 5000. (I was pruning posts in books ---getting the TV and Movie posts moved out to their own forum) and forgot to set it back to 30.

WHOOPS!

Should be fine now, as it is now back to defaults

I can go into any user panel so easy now, and add a post count, that as people mention they lost posts, I drop into the panel, update it, and 2 seconds later, your back to normal.

As for the new forum, it seems a little "big" to me. Buttons that are a tad too large for my taste but otherwise the new options are cool.

I know, I'm running is a resolution of 1900x1200. I figured most displays will be huge soon, but I may shrink them a bit.. But hey, its easy on our over 40 crowd now. :rofl2: j/k..... hehe

I agree, but its how vB does it. I do play to try to fix that--and other things--input boxes--especially in PM areas. the input box is laughably small.
