Yes I wish I could insert some columns to the left and right so messages don't stretch the entire width of my wide format screen

Oh noes! What happened to old faithful SimHQ?

I miss the narrow middle column, everything's so wide now.

Thanks for the updates, RacerGT.

I run my wide monitor with the browser as a window (as I always feel websites are absurdly wide in a maximized widescreen window), so I hadn't noticed. I did somehow feel that the font is a touch smaller. Something I'll check for in my settings panel.

still a lot of work to do, the old template doesn't work well with the newer responsive parts... a more modern template is the UBBCentral Crimson option, you can select it at the bottom...

I like the new board.

Nice job.
Has some good features.
Only Tooltips are annoying. You can turn them off.

Sadly, no image uploads. But thanks understandable as far as it will cut spam and bandwidth.

Using Firefox; If you don't like the style or think its slow
You can always select from Firefox menu > View > Page Style >
No Style.

Similar in most browsers.
Useful if you are working on something or stuck on a phone or command prompt.

...so, we can no longer click on a link directly back to the parent from when we reached the bottom of the thread, just a "top" link?
I hope it doesn't stay that way. Also, I think that most themes are too bright. I'd like to see one that is easier on the eyes, if possible. Of the current themes, "SimHQ default fixed" is the least annoying, but still isn't ideal IMO.

That said, switching the forum software is a thankless job. A lot of work to change everything so things can things can stay the same, and people hate it nevertheless.
So, thank you, webmaster(s)! I appreciate your effort, even if I do not yet appreciate the new UI. wink

I'm guessing it was just an oversight amongst all the things that needed to be configured for the conversion. Along with your post in this thread, I have an inquiry in about it. Thanks for pointing it out!

I agree the roll overs were a bit of distraction,,Thanks to FsFoot I figured out why my fonts were overblown for some reason they got very large and couldn't fit a whole post on the screen ,,Adjusted the zoom and it's cool now

Is there no longer a 'mark all threads as read' option? I can't see one,unless I'm missing the obvious.

It's way down below at the bottom of the main page. However, it just goes to a blank page afterwards instead of showing the main page again like the old "mark all threads as read" option.

Looks fine to me, with some new features. I just hope the ability to attach images is restored. Judging by CyBerkut's post it looks to be the case.


No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Since when did you start putting on pants.

This place has really gotten strange.
