OK I might have some time this week to check in here more often... :024:
so if there are issue with the site that are annoying you... let me know
 
Thats to test your visual acuity. If you fail the test we been asked by SCCA to capture that information and send the names to club licensing :)

Seriously...
A) The is a workaround template available from the drop down at the bottom of each page.
B} Changing the default for this template (style) is high on my list ... will be done as soon as I can verify I wont make unwanted changed elsewhere.
C) I see no reason for it to be "gray" either. Black woudl help adn I bet I can do that ASAP

Not going to the last page of a multi page post?

A 'post' is a single response. They are never multipages long. Kirk & Miller have tried!
A thread is a group of responses to an initial topic's post.
Threads can span multiple pages.

So you are saying that when you go to a topic that you have never read and you click on the topic title that it jumps you to teh last post instead of the first?

The behaviour changes depending on whether you have look at the thread before (even clicked on it) or not.
 
Maybe the length of each page? It seems like the amount of text / posts are pretty short before creating another page.

Font size default is a big one on my list.

I think it might be the teeny tiny default font size, for those of us that run high resolution...

It was previously posted:
  • Go to User CP
  • Edit Options
  • Under miscellaneous, set "Forum Skin" to "Default Style"
Or is that not what you're talking about?
 
You asked for bitchin so here it goes...

Larger PM capacity. The max is 50 messages, another forum I frequent allows for 500 and another 250. I would think server space is an issue and that's why it's capped at 50.

Otherwise, this forum is great!!!! :D
 
It's now set to 150

Delete your old ones as there really is no reason to need more than 150.
Email is for your personal archive of important stuff, not IT.com :)
 
Wow... 10 posts per "page" ... you aint kiddin that's short.
I'll bump it up to 30.

Page load speed should not be an issues as we dont have tons of embedded photos etc.
 
All good changes! Actually the PM thing is an issue for some of us who get "official" hate and love mail...ok, more the former, or other info, and it's great place to store it for when it's needed.
 
For me, only in the General Discussion forum, it defaults to showing only the posts made in the last day. The rest of the forums show the last 45 days, iirc. I haven't found a way that I could set it (and stay set) to view more than the last day in GD.

On edit - I'm a fan of the Chromium skin. Of course, I have "young" eyes, so that may help...
 
I'm pretty new, but the first things I've noticed are the small font size (holding Ctrl and moving the scroll wheel helps a little) and the color contrasts. The light blue tint behind the text makes it difficult to see the text even when I enlarge it. The site isn't too easy on the eyes, and I'm not an old fart by any means.

The bg color behind the text should not be blue. Thats probably your monitor. But it is shaded slightly gray. I'll see if I can remove it.

Around noon I enlarged the text 1 pt and made it black instead of dark gray.

Seems that nobody noticed? :017:

I think a different font would be easier to read also.

It was the skin I was using. I changed it to default as someone else noted and now it is white behind the text. It's much easier to read. I now notice you changed the text. Also, much easier to read.
Thank you.
 
Webmaster, I would propose the following changes:

1. When I log onto the site, I think you should make 3 naked chics, 8s at a minimum, appear in my office.

2. When I start a new thread, I should be rewarded with a 25 year old bottle of scotch. You can overnight it to my house.

3. When I delete spam, $100 per deletion should be credited to my pay pal account.

4. When I smite an unworthy arguer on some obscure GCR provision, I should be awarded a t-shirt stating "I kicked ass on It.Com."

The above are obviously reasonable requests and I think you should implement them immediately.

You work at a cool place! On the "other site" somebody deleted my avatar in a thread because it was offensive and unsafe for work!

Now, when your girlfriend stops in for lunch, which naked girl will she like? :cool:
