New Army.ca Style

Mike, looks great.  My only beef is the quote box.  I find the green with the black text is difficult to read now where it wasn't before.  Can you lighten the background??

Cheers.

How's this?

 

[Fishbone Jones]

I like that!

How's this?

This new style is very eye appealing. Good job!!!

George, do you have a link to a page which shows a last post icon?


Thanks
Mike

Sorry, the maintenance required to keep both the old and the new styles up to date for upgrades and improvements would be doubled, so I've decided to stick to just one. The new style is part of the upgrade that took place earlier this week, so some of the new features already don't work in the old style.


Cheers

Cool, thanks for the reply.

George,

Thanks, I got it now... was that icon there in the old theme?

 

[George Wallace]

We used to be able to access the last post in that thread/topic from any of the menu pages.

Mike,  thanks for fixing the quote box.  Looks great now!

I like it a lot.

Thanks Mike

Could you always "collapse" the different topics?  I just noticed that ability and have since cleaned up my front pag to hide the "francais" section.  Nice and clean looking site, the chat is great!  Would there be a way to add "mark as read" to the top of the main forum page?  I only see it on the bottom.

Looks a lot sharper and more professional. Good work Mike.

I seem to have apostrophes replace by junk in various posts... "it's"
Is it at my end, or leftovers from the crash? Thanks

 

[NCRCrow]

me too!

I believe Mike made a post awhile ago folks its being looked at and worked on.
FWIW I have it as well.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

New posts should not have these, but many older posts will. It's an unfortunate side effect of the system restore and upgade. The most helpful thing people can do is to identify a post where it's a problem, indicate what the "garbage characters" are and what they should be.

I can then do a full search and replace to [hopefully] restore them.


Cheers
Mike

Looks great Mike! I haven't found any problems so far. But I am using sucky dial-up right now, so I haven't done too much browsing lately..

Just noticing in the subforums it's titled Child boards? I understand the context of parent category and subsets - just a little confused on the naming of such...

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

That was me being lazy... in past updates I've changed Child Board to Sub Board, but didn't this time around. I've now updated that text so it's back to "normal" for us.

 

[ZipperHead]

I fear change  :crybaby: It's hard for me to read this on my 12" monochrome monitor...

Like many other things (CADPAT, realizing that soldiers entering service now weren't even born yet when I joined, the ballgag) it will take a while to get used to, but should work out nicely.

Good work, Mike.
