Big Upgrade of Forum Software this evening. Disruption Expected

[Jim]

I'm also not seeing membership number - even when I hover over the avatar.

look down

 

[peterc10]

Go to the very bottom on the left and change the width

Did that @Jim, but it does not stay that width when I next come onto the forum

 

[Jim]

• I thought I'd bookmarked a few pages - but either I hadn't or they didn't get transferred across ?
• I'm also getting the "members online" duplicated.
• We used to get the number of unread posts alongside thread titles - I'm not seeing them [on a PC]
• Not that it's important but I'm also not seeing membership number - even when I hover over the avatar.

Just relax ..The whole structure of the site will change over the next couple of days

Yep @Jim same here I have lost all my bookmarks. Are they lost forever?

 

[Lenny HB]

@Jim I need to change the width for every page I view. Can it be set to the wider setting to be used every time I am on my PC, but not when using my phone please?

Yep mine has gone back.

Me too.

Maybe, probably not. Working on reviews at the mo

 

[Ditcha]

Looks fantastic, much cleaner and modern feel ?

Sorry - not stressed - just thought you might like to know small stuff you might not have noticed whilst looking over the bigger picture.

 

[JockandRita]

This is my first chance at trying out the microphone for text. Nice one @Jim.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[DBK]

I see there is now a "Your threads" option in the menu. Very useful.

It was there before but several clicks deep.

Cool that worked, never even thought of looking there lol.... Thanks

Thanks, didn't notice that.

I did say at the bottom of the page

Love the change width option at the bottom of the page. Nice to have full width...

 

[Jaws]

No need for Siri. I just dictated this. Just click the microphone button bottom right of the iPhone screen keyboard and talk.

That explains it then !

 

[Yorick]

The only thing I don't like is the new blue box along the top. It takes over about a third of the screen when using my phone.

 

[chaser]

@Jim all seems fine to me except the recent button has disappeared, new, is not the same as once you have looked at the latest post the whole thread goes away till someone else comments.

 

[peterc10]

@Jim A couple of questions please.

Is the dictation just applicable to Apple based systems, of will it work with Android and/or Windows?

Every time I come back in Chrome the tab is prefixed by a number in brackets, and it will be the same number for all of the tabs I open for that session. The number increases by one for each separate session I start. If I open a session while I am still in one the number increases both in that session and the original one. I do not like the idea of a visible session count going on for ever. the wife might see it and completely ruin my protestations that I am hardly on here at all.

I was using an Android device Peter, when I experimented above. The microphone is at the right of the onscreen keyboard. I did have to give Google Keyboard access to the microphone.

HTH.

Jock.

 

[peterc10]

Thanks Jock. I use Swiftkey ion my Android phone and do not think it has this facility

 

[snailtrailer]

You're all too asty!!!! Be patient my children.

Not all, Auntie Pam.

I'm just bimbling along as usual.

Cheers,

Peter, SwiftKey has the microphone icon on the comma button to the left of the space bar.

Really liking the new look. Much cleaner on PC, phone & tablet. Everything I've tried is working great, including the re-sizing.

(Win10pro, Huawei M5 10 and Pixel 3XL, both Android 9, just in case it helps @Gromett )

[nicholsong]

Jim

This is not a complaint but just to make you aware that chronology and page numbers seem to be working in reverse.

Last post I can see is '4 mins. ago' on page 8.

.... to you I say, comb your mulletts and go out for a spin in your ford Capri ...

A mullet and a Capri? Now that does sound rather modern. Thought this lot of silver surfers here were more Austin Riley and a DA
