    Oooooooh it's all new and modern, how will I cope?!

    I think it's fair to say we all owe a huge thank you to Mick and the rest of the team who have worked tirelessly on this over the past 12 months or so - well done! I've only just logged on so have yet to explore the site but it's looking good so far and theres more to come

    Awesome Mick. Loads to discover. Keep at it with the other features. As long as the forums work then folk can communicate and respond with any problems they're experiencing

    The site seems to work well on my Android phone. Anyone with an iphone deserves whatever they get

    I hope so. We can't go back now This version must work (with the right settings), if the old one did.

    Re: Welcome To The New Site

    Try moving the mouse pointer over the avatars. They zoom bigger. No higher in pixels per inch, but this is the best would could go to within the limits of vB 4, for now anyway.

    And there is something nice going on with photos in posts. Click on one and it opens in the page, not new tab, then click on the right or left half and it show the next or previous picture. To exit the slide show, click outside it on the post behind it.

    In case anyone has not noticed, there is a style chooser at bottom left that allows to chose a mobile template.

    The mobile style is limited in content though Ian, good for speed on keeping up with posts etc.

    Yeah, it's slimmed down both for less data sent and so it's easy to see and use where a desktop template maybe too crowded.

    And which browser? Mobile or desktop template?

    As said the club really appreciate the effort you have put into this site. No real issue with like/dislike if not available through iPhone but do have an issue with menu up at top where new posts and private messages are covering up shop and tech apps buttons

    I guess there maybe a few little bugs. When mick gets his breath I'm sure all will be fixed.

    Re: Welcome To The New Site

    no sure if all the problems can be fixed, ive now got no time at all, this took 10 hours solid yesterday to do and obviously everyone knows the amount of time before ive done

    im also away 11/25 april, sofas from dfs coming today, mikes car to do before i go and endless other things


    my things ive noticed, not compatible on full view with iphone, ie incompatible in places and other minor stuff

    personally id change back now and loose the has 10 hours of posts i could do this in 3 hours today and then go back to testing in may when i get home, otherwise your stuck with what you got till i can get the coder to try and fix which he may not be able to,

    i need a answer quick as once theres to many posts the more will be lost as they cant be moved back to 3.7

    Mic I tested on an iPhone 5s last night using safari and it was spot on. Not sure what the issue is. Yes there are some issues with text spacings in general which I'm sure can be worked through over the next few weeks.

    lots of the external pages scoff created (links)now don't work as there written in a different php

    this can be fixed but not sure on other stuff

    even the links on external pages don't work which means people cant register atm I could setup something on the home page hopefully for now but its up to people what to do but I need to know asap if we are swapping back to old vb

    Re: Welcome To The New Site

    Registering is the only biggie I can see so far. If this can be fixed within a week then don't roll-back to 3.7.

    Mick, create a central bug list at your end and prioritise it in terms of importance so it's not swimming around in your mind This upgrade was always going to be buggy and will probably take a couple of months to resolve and settle so don't let that bother you or stop you doing the non-RTOC things you need to do in the meantime.

    Edit: there's no tab for articles in the top menu like there used to be. Is that intentional? one for the list?

    Using desktop PC and Chrome I just clicked on homepage Join and it did go to the registration page. One spammer has registered successfully maybe 10 times since last evening.

    Yes, Mick was trying to shorten the populated area of the bar a bit so it doesn't have the problem Dale pointed to with it overlapping. As it's doing that anyway I could turn them on and some can see if it gets worse? On Android it doesn't shorten and overlap.


    The Live window is a pop-up in Chrome, but a new tab in Firefox. Used to be a pop-up in Firefox.

    Top menu: Ok cool. If you add back in, 'files' could also go back on. If you keep these things out - no probs.

    New bug: I can't add files to the site. The upload images button takes you to this page:

    my net keeps going off this but is because of code differences in php trev nothing else all scoffs external pages need modding again

    files should be switched off now for the moment

    ive had a email from coder hes busy busy but can start tom, this will be done on dev3 my test site and then moved to here once tested,

    bear in mind im away for 2 weeks soon but ill try and get extermal stuff done before not sure on rest

    as I say if you want to switch back to 3.7 I can do later today when I get time

    Here's another one.

    The live page doesn't show the quoted box.



    And this time in Chrome, it opened in a new tab instead of a pop-up.

    There's No Going Back

    Mick,

    Stop all thoughts of going backward! If there are problems to resolve, then I'm
    pretty sure most can be fixed. The new site looks and functions well, so no more
    talk of regression.

    If there are some PHP issues, I _may_ be able to help. I run a big web site in it
    and also run a phpBB Forum on it - only a tiny one by comparison, but it's still
    the same language.

    The text-spacing issues can/should be fixed by one command in the body tag
    of the main CSS file, rather than trying to fix a myriad other tags in several
    specialised CSS files. I use this...
    PHP Code:
    body background#BCF2C9 url(../image/hband7.jpg) fixed; color: #007; font: 100%/1.25 Verdana,Arial,Helvetica, etc... 
    The operative bit is 100%/1.25 - that sets a ratio that any browser can work with.

    Two suggestions for your future list:
    1. The dimensions of our avatars needs to be amended upward from
      the present 80 x 80 pixels - that way, when they get enlarged they don't go blurry.
      I'd suggest that we go to a 6 by 4 ratio, so 120px by 80px or 150px by 100px.
      This makes creating avatars from bigger pictures much easier for peeps to do.
    2. Is there a difficulty with increasing the number of {video] tags we can have
      in one post? Currently, the limit is 1, but I have a series of them (7 out of 9) outlining
      my entire rebuild experience which I'd like to place into post 1 of my thread.

    Currently, I have two articles waiting to go into the Detailing Reference section.
    I'll not upload them until my permissions are sorted. You probably have more
    than enough on your plate.

    If there's any way I can help...

    Regards,
    Steve
