Upgrade issue "Post Here"

[Brie]

Here is the issue, VB (the board software) will not allow any pictures to scale of the forum pages. It is a function of the software and can not be changed, as you saw before it will just cut the picture off at the edge. So this is the next best thing and I cant do a darn thing about it.

Ok its no big deal, I was just wondering... It just kind of sucks that its so small... But if there's nothing you can do, theres nothin' ya can do. No worries.

Yea when they put out this new version, they made that the standard. I guess so many board owners complained about pictures taking up to much space and slowing down the boards they decided to make that the norm now??

Question not a bug?? Is there any way to see how many people are in the CHAT room before you enter. Like a population count next to the chat room link at the top? I feel stupid going in there when it's empty.

Haha!! Just go in there and talk to yourself for a bit. It's fun :lol:. Naw, I don't think there is a way to do something like that. Chat requires logging in for anything related to it. That would be cool though.

K...What about Polls?? The old site had them showing up on the homepage to let everyone know of the current polls going on. Is that option gone now with the new upgrade or do you plan to bring that back?? I just started a poll and it shows up like a regular thread...

When we were doing the upgrade, we kept it on the front page, the problem however was that is was huge!! and took up half the column, so we decided to remove it from the front page. "Sorry charlie" that one for the moment is back on just the forum pages. I want to leave some room their so we can look at some new neat stuff.

"On the width of the forums I just did an alteration and made them wider, I hope this does it for folks let me know. You must understand that when I change the width like that it creates other issues with gapping and so on through out, which then will create another round of complaints. I am trying to get a toggle so that folks that dont like the background/skin layout we have can just run the board in the Default skin from VB,

But let me know if this width now satisfies folks??"

Looks like his is addressed above, but I would like the toggle as I have a wide monitor and have to scroll over...

However, on my primary computer, the reef picture still takes up 2-1/4" on each side.
It's kind of like watching a standard def. tv on a widescreen.

I can deal with std def on a widescreen TV, because the bars on the side are black. Although it's a sweeeet reef picture, for me, it's really distracting to the point my eyes kind of go buggy after a bit. Am I missing how to use the default skin to make the background plain?

[Edit: nevermind. Finally figured out which "default" skin to pick in my settings. Figures I try them all... except for the one that makes it work!]

I'm working on other default skin options but right now it isn't done, work in progress!

Scooty, I checked out the one you had up last night titled "Scooty" and it wasn't bad at all.

I don't like all the colorful and beautiful coral. I don't think they have any place in a reefing forum LOL. Love the new setup

 

[barrierreefcf]

If possible, widen the center even further. Feeling cramped right now. How do I change my skins? Can't find anything in settings but I'm sure I'm just missing it.

Question... Where is the sponsor button?

 

[Faciosity]

This is a very minor issue, but I just posted the first classified ad in "equipment for sale" and inserted an emmotion icon that doesn't show up as a laughing face in the post.:lol:

They were to the bottom left of the screen yesterday but I don't see them today. Maybe it was removed temporarily when the new patch was installed last night?? That is something Scooty or Mike will have to answer, but it was there.

I just checked and saw what you meant LOL!! It was a box with the word "laughing" in it and a red X Mayeb the classifieds don't support smiley's...Not sure.

Right now we're at out limit, any more it changes the entire layout. I will bring this up and see If there is anything else we can do.
