Suggestion for the forum

There should be just 3 settings - the default one is 12pt, smaller is 10pt and larger is 14pt. I've checked through how the developers have coded the template css file and I think they've mixed some classes in the same line which should be separate. I have made a couple of changes and hopefully it should be right now.

Thanks, Jan (including for knowing your techy stuff so well!). It's all in order now! I'm very glad for that last '+' sizing, as the smallest size is, though readable, a bit too tiny for me...the next one up is still a bit small...but the biggest size seems to be just right! Hehe, I think I went a bit Goldilocks there!

I have trouble seeing when a new post is made. Is there any way to make it more noticeable? I can see fine on the main index, but when I go into a specific forum I find it hard to tell which topics have new posts.

How comes this place is now too wide for the screen? It cuts off at Fan on the header.

Anyhow...I like the blue.

That's weird, because it's fine for me, and then I've got two blocks of blue on either side of the screen.

Elle, the template required a width setting to be input (it wouldn't accept 100% had to be a pixel value) so I opted for a width of 1024 pixels (and made the banner that size) which should be visible on most PCs and laptops. Do you have a low resolution of say 800 x 600 set on your PC ? Does it not have the option to scroll right ?

Sammi, do you mean you can't tell in the list of topics - are the post icons hard for you to see ? If there's a new post (by someone other than yourself) it should turn from grey to red. There's also an option to view new posts from the Board Index which lists any topics that have been added to since you last read the board.

I can see it fine on the main index, but if I'm in a forum (say roles for example) I struggle to see which topics have a new post. Could just be my crappy eyesight though!

Might be worth using the Mark all topics read link, that way older threads that you haven't gone back to for ages will go grey so when someone posts to a new thread and it goes red it will stand out more ? The settings of what you've read or not are held as cookies on your PC I think so it's up to the individual user, I can't reset it for you. There's also a Mark all forums read link as well.

Yeah they've already been marked read. It's just on the old look of the forum it was much easier to see when a new post was made. I think the colours don't stand out as much now. If no one else has a problem then I guess it's just my crap eyesight!
