Guest FourAces Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Big thumbs up to OZ & TY for the useful refresh of the MER Forums! Everything from the easier to read font size and color contrast to the thread previews and more is a huge plus! Quote
TotallyOz Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks. I didn't even know this was going on last night. There were some issues with vunerabilities in the older version of the software and the programmers just upgraded it. I'll be checking today to see if any issues. Please let us know if you guys see any! Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Please look into why you can't access the forum on mobile devices. I tried this morning and there was no way to load it at all other than a shell without any ability to click on threads. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 I love it! Love you TY and Oz for doing this!!!! Quote
AdamSmith Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Please look into why you can't access the forum on mobile devices. I tried this morning and there was no way to load it at all other than a shell without any ability to click on threads. Having no problems on the iPhone 4S. ...though I have not yet checked what Siri thinks of the change. P.S. My avatar even shows up on mobile with this new environment! Thankee! to the programmers. The new envt is noticeably faster on my phone also. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 This is my first post I've been able to do on my iPhone 4s. In the last version you could login from the forum but now you have to login on the main page then go to the forum. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Hmm I didn't have any problem.. What about anybody else? Quote

Members MsGuy Posted March 23, 2012 Members Posted March 23, 2012 As I've mentioned before, I HATE CHANGE. That said, the new format does seem easier to read and more attractive to the eye. No doubt I'll like it once I get used to it and be equally opposed to any changes to it in the future. Quote
Members lookin Posted March 24, 2012 Members Posted March 24, 2012 MsGuy, I do believe we were separated at birth! I'm sure I'll get used to it too, though I do miss the old color scheme which I thought was elegant, warm, and tasteful, much like many of my favorite fellow-posters. Perhaps it will return over the coming days and weeks. I know I will. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Facts: 1. Lookin and MsGuy are both good at finding interesting pics. 2. Lookin and MsGuy are both intelligent. 3. Lookin and MsGuy think alike.. 4. Lookin and MsGuy have the same tastes.. Thus it is likely that they are twins??? Quote
TotallyOz Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Dude, look at their avatars. Lookin in smoking something and MS is a shadow. Should we pick an avatar for him? Quote
Guest FourAces Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Dude, look at their avatars. Lookin in smoking something and MS is a shadow. Should we pick an avatar for him? I think the update deleted several avatars. MsGuy used to have one as did CharliePS plus Axiom2001 ... and Lucky did as well but he might have deleted his? Quote
AdamSmith Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Hitoall, you can't have lookin TOO. He's spoken for. FourAces, MsGuy's avatar was Foghorn Leghorn, after it was Elmer Fudd, if memory fails not. Corn squeezin's to lookin's mega-spiff. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Hmm Adam Smith you seem to know more about MsGuy than I do, Do I have another competitor here? Hitoall, you can't have lookin TOO. He's spoken for. FourAces, MsGuy's avatar was Foghorn Leghorn, after it was Elmer Fudd, if memory fails not. Corn squeezin's to lookin's mega-spiff. Quote
Members MsGuy Posted March 24, 2012 Members Posted March 24, 2012 AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHH! It took me months to figure out how to link to an avatar; more months to find one that would work on your rinkydink software; & NOW IT'S GONE! Somebody better fix this. You don't want me to have to come over there... Quote
TotallyOz Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 So sorry, but I think the difference with your avatar and the ones that lost them and the ones that didn't is the linking the avatar. I uploaded my image to the site. It has stayed consistent for ages. If you have the link for your old avatar, I can download it and edit it and send to you. Sorry for the inconvenience. Quote
AdamSmith Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Not sure, OZ. My avatar is linked from an external site and it shows up fine now. (Unlike before!) Quote
Guest FourAces Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHH!

You don't want me to have to come over there... Hey MsGuy If you want to send me a link to your avatar or anybody else wants to for that matter I will also be happy to capture and size it and email it back for you to upload. With the new layout the avatars really stand out so lets make the forums look pretty Quote
Guest FourAces Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Hey guys not sure if anybody else noticed this yet but the new forum brings another cool feature. We now have slideshow Basically this means if you click on a pic in a post that has multiple pics you can move through them using the forward and back arrows. I've been trying to add a slidehow plugin on my wordpress blog but cannot find one. If anybody happens to know of any please post the info. Quote
Guest CharliePS Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 I think the update deleted several avatars. MsGuy used to have one as did CharliePS plus Axiom2001 ... and Lucky did as well but he might have deleted his? I never had an avatar here, so none was lost. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Gotta love you! ...though I have not yet checked what Siri thinks of the change. Quote
Members axiom2001 Posted March 24, 2012 Members Posted March 24, 2012 I very much like the updated features; now I'd like the main page to have new pics when we open to mer if possible. Quote
Guest FourAces Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 I never had an avatar here, so none was lost. Charlie didn't Lucky set you up with a avatar? I thought it was a pic of a historic person ... but I could have just been dreaming it Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 I think so cute it was a pic of king Charles or something like that wasn't it? Quote
