Welcome to the new look forum!

[Dave]

I had to do the update a little quicker then I wanted because the last forum was getting quite a lot of spam bots signing up! This new software has some great security that should hopefully prevent then from joining!

One small downside to the migration was that everyone lost their avatars, so im afraid you will have to reupload them.

Anyway, I hope people like the new look forum and if you have any problems, questions or suggestions, please let me know!

Thanks for your work. The new look is very nice indeed.The only problem I came about is the new font, that is used everywhere. It looks very raw, even when I am using spatial antialiasing. Is there a way to install a second theme (same design) but just with another font? I am experiencing this problem everywhere in the forum, except when using a textbox for replying to a thread, editing a thread or composing a new thread.

 

[Dave]

Thats very strange. I'll have a look into it xp.

 

[Dragonfly]

It's great! Thanks for setting it up Dave x

 

[Dave]

Thank you Dragonfly

I saw, that I am allowed to upload a screenshot, so I attached one herein to show you my problem.

Update:
Ok, the image is automatically compressed by the forum software itself, so I put it into a zip-file, so you can see the original image.

Thanks xp. I can see what you mean, the text in that looks awful. It shouldnt look like that and certainly dosent on my three browsers!

I'll have to take that over to IPB to have a look at, what browser and version are you using?

 

[xp_xyz]

Dave, thanks for having a look. I really appreciate your help and devotion!

I am experiencing this problem with the following browsers:
Mozilla Firefox 3.6.28
Google Chrome 14.0.835.163

Internet Explorer 8.06 seems to use another way of spatial antialiasing, here the font is looking good. But I don't use IE at all.

I will test the forum later at another computer to see if the problem depends on the operating system, which is now Windows XP and later is Windows 7.

 

[Dave]

Thanks xp. I'll post all the details over at IPB and hopefully they may be able to come back with something. Im off to work shortly so will check back for any updates later.

Thanks it looks very good.

The font looks very decent using Windows7, not matter what browser (FF, Chrome, IE) I tested. The reason for this should be the fact, that Win7 uses another method for spatial antialiasing than WinXP. It just mysterious, because I never experienced any problems like this on that XP computer and I use it for a lot of browsing on different sites. I will look into that tomorrow. Thanks for now.

posting this from my phone: the mobile theme of the new forum is really awesome. a great pleasure on the go! it just needs a rss feed and push notifications and i am on top of being lucky

 

[Dave]

Apparently there is work ongoing to creating an android app which will have push notifications!

 

[xp_xyz]

Woohoo. But I have to admit, the mobile theme alone is a big thing for me and makes me very happy.

 

[xp_xyz]

Once again on the raw font. User lemonchw used an other font in his posting. This font looks decent on my xp computer! Just if you might compare or something

 

[Dave]

Thanks xp_xyz. I have asked but not heard anything back yet.

Dave, it seems like there is a bug today. I am just getting times of edits and new postings from 7:07, 8:08, 9:09, and so on... Even when the posting was made at 9:40 (like this on here).

 

[Dave]

Sorry xp, you've lost me on that one.

Where abouts are the edits showing up?
