Forum Feedback

i can't see my image gallery anywhere...yet.

Yes the forum looks a little on the weak side...but hey have they finished with it yet???

[Floating_Red]

If they have finished with it, I've got Feedback and Questions:

- The Text is too small; make it bigger so I don't need to use a magnifying glass to read the text.

- How does one stick, or "Float", a Thread to the Top?

- Whenever I Open the "Insert/edit link", it seems to clash with something on my computer.  Not sure if it's Norton clashing/Scanning it.

- How is one meant to know if they've got a P.M.?  Does the icon light up and do a light display for you when you get a P.M.?  Does it sing to you?  All you've got is a tiny, wee number which most users will not notice - until somewhere five months' down the line ("Whoops!").

Hi Floating_Red,

You can float threads to the top by going to "Topic Options" and then to "Float this Topic to the Top".

I agree that the font (including the PM envelope icon and number) is really small. And I still can't see or access my image gallery or anyone else's image gallery.

I agree that the text is way too small for my aged eyes.

Thanks, Yaso.  Still, it was nice when one could do it while not in a Thread...

Also think for the Date & Time on the Boards needs to be changed because it clashes with the "Newbie" Colour.

Also, the Description of what each Forum is for loads first, and then there is a small pause before the rest of the Page is Loaded.

Could the dividing line between stickies and other posts, be more obvious as before, i. e. a different color ?

You can go into preferences >display and there will be font size, the default is medium which is small, but you can change to large or X-large and everything will appear larger. Though for me X-large makes you lose the right side of the forum post listing cause the Kudos and whatnot charts overlap...I don't know how to float anymore.. So I book marked and "Sank" what I want to read on the forum front page.

Also when I went into Edit for this post... my font went really small like amoeba size small and I had to hightlight and change the font to 2 (10pt) just to be able to read it again.

Little sad that my icon is now classic and none of the new bright and shiny ones doesn't have a sun.

1. Inseting an image into a post using the new interface fails big time under Vista.

That aside, the issues I see with the new  interface are as follows:

1. The font size - too small in too many places. Refer to previous posts for verification.
2. The 'Top Kudoed Post' column should be moved back to a horizontal line at the bottom of the page.
3. Moving this column will make the ellispsis on the existing Subject lines dissappear.

In addition, if a post has been kudoed, then the font colour of those kudos greater than zero should be black. Too pale to highlight a kudoed post at the moment...

Here are some things I noticed in the new engine:

- by the posts the replies and new, plus the kudos numbers are a bit confusing by some topics

- I miss the Mark all post Read function from the top menu on the main page (or just not found it yet :P)

- I didn't noticed this before: When I go to edit/create messages in IE8 loading the Rich text editor makes IE8 a bit slow like it will freeze in a moment. When the load is done, everything works fine.

EDIT:
- it would be better if by inserting a picture the default Image Alignment would be Inline

- by inserting picture if I uploaded the picture to the symantec site it started the browsing from the default download/upload folder IE saved, now it is going always to My Documents -> the previous mechanisum I liked more :D

- the highlighted topics should have some different color, or have more space between them and normal topics
