February 4th was supposed to give us updates. I'm not sure that there have been any. Posts are still all squashed together, making the board absolutely horrible to read.
The "Search" function is really bad too. I can't find exact posts that I'm trying to look for - the search function now only returns entire threads rather than individual posts and it doesn't even do that properly.
By "squashed together." do you mean that posts appear in a narrow column on the left, with a big wide margin on the right?
Does this occur just for the first and last posts on each page, or for all posts?
This is the last post on this page right now.
The new patch has not been released yet. Be assured that we are on top of this.
If i can help, posts appear ok, not in a narrow column and not any big margins on the right. It takes all the page width and they are centered in the middle. They look fine. I ve lookedwith mozilla & chrome in windows xp / vista and linux platform. I havent seen the IE version.Originally Posted by Mathman
So maybe BoP means that when you go to reply option (advanced version) the posts below you look packed one after the other, without the blue bars seperating them. But that doesnt look like a problem anyway. They are just seperated with a black line.
The forum is loading veeeery sloooooowly.
Quotes in replies are sometimes very tall and skinny - hard to read.
Type in reply box is still tiny.
And all this seems to be affecting participation, I'm sorry to say.
And now this post is tall and skinny. Why?
As far as we can tell, for people with older version of Internet Explorer or Firefox, the first and last post on a page gets narrow. Expand your display of GS to a whole page, and it is more bearable, although still small. AFAIK, the small reply box affects everyone, and I hope it will be fixed soon. The reply is better if you pick the Go Advanced button just below the Reply box.
OK, thanks. I do use Firefox so that clarifies even if it doesn't help very much. Expanding display does help some.
I don't mean to whine but it's a drag to have to use extra clicks ("go advanced") in order to find smilies. Type in reply box is still tiny though.
Some of the spontaneity and fun of posting are lost. I fear this whole change was a mistake and I don't see any gains. Sorry, but I mean this only as a loving warning!
