A big software update is on its way!

Hi,

Any way to chance the default text that comes up in the reply box?
Mine is giving me "Courier" which looks like an old newspaper <chuckle>.

 

[magvitron]

But I loved the old one better
I loved the green bar now there is no bar. I am only a new member

 

[alec_t]

should get a drop down menu

Ah, that's where it was hiding. Thanks Eric.
Will we also be getting back a viewing preference for the number of posts per page? 50 is a lot to plough through.

What is the significance of the 'B' to the left of some avatars?
Will the palette of Greek letters/math symbols be returning?

Click the 'B' for the user Blogs.

Nice that you've kept the same color shades. I actually like it.

@ericgibbs I actually installed the wrong blogs module so that B is now gone.. Sorry for that confusion.

@Electroenthusiast Great to hear. It took a long time creating the similar style, and we've had it forever!

I don't post much but do read a fair bit of the forum and I just wanted to say thank you, I really like the upgrade to the software while still keeping the 'look' the same.

Was able to find my blogs with the "wrong module," but can't find them now. The only option is Community Blogs, which also seems dead.

BTW, I am using the Default style, which looks more like Windows7 than the style we are all used to. It gives full screen width. Still can't upload images or attachments form the local PC.

The bit I like is... You can swap to a completely different look by clicking on the "ElectroXen" button on the bottom of the page.... For a bigger look on wide screens....

Where do I find what used to be my subscribed threads?

Thanks for the nice feedback

Hi Ian and @jpanhalt, that actually was the original xenforo style which I was meant to disable - I don't intend on maintaining it so have now restricted it.

I understand that alot of people like the stretched width so I've create another style that you can use that gives you just that. To change styles look at the footer on any page and click the bottom left link (style - Full Width or Fixed Width).

Hi John,

The uploading from local PC option is actually next to the Post Reply button.. A little bit silly to have it there but thats where it is at the moment.. (btw, it allows you to select multiple files )

Link is in that navbar - Watched Threads.

 

[jpanhalt]

Just testing. Noticed the vintage ETO format appeared automatically. Here's the other format to which I referred...just to test posting from the local drive.

Edit: Seems to work. How does one control the location of multiple images at different locations? In the edit window, the Attach Tags are visible, which would allow that. But, in the initial post window, I didn't see them. Maybe the thumbnails can just be dragged. Will try that next time.

Hovering over a thread works badly. It always creates the box above instead of in visible space or doesn't work at all.

Hi KeepItSimpleStupid, good spotting.. I've investigated things and it seems that the preview only works for newly created threads. I'm finding out how to resolve this for all existing threads. With regards to it's function, i think that's here to stay however, i have no issues with it's popup location..

Hope you succeeed, EM. The preview is handy.

I can't access threads a year ago. Can anyone help?
