PM tracking not yet working.

Also, can the "Members online today" be re-enabled on the main forum index page? I've always found that useful for linking quickly and easily to profile pages.

We are only on here to get Cyber Bling right???

Thanks for your time.

Yup... Hoipefully it is fixed by Monday... or else I could get in serious doo doo at work....
Not that I should be on KB... But there are some things on here that do relate to my secondary duties... Honest.

Thanks. I pass all these style issues onto the style designer to fix for the next release.

Now I can appreciate the better security, bugfixes and features offered with the upgrade, but how difficult would it be to go back to the old black 'n' yellow KB look/layout? (or has that been deliberately dropped for some unknown reason?)

and out of interest, what is the process for these site upgrades? do you simply upgrade and see how it works or is there some trialling done without affecting KB online?

the threads themselves are now ok and I prefer the new homepage, but the bar/buttons at the top of the page are hideous and in the forums the huge X logos are equally unapealling. Also, can we make the bgcolour of the sticky threads a little less bright?

[Gremlin]

Where are you going to make my one look normal again??

your not ignoring me are you ash??

Looks like only significant people are listened to... I have bad news for you farmer boy

Students... they never can read. The old Dark Zone is not compatible with vBulletin 4.

Spank ol boy, under New Posts, say you have 17 pages, you're looking at Page 1. You can't quickly navigate to the last page (page 17). As a number, it isn't listed, and only one arrow box is shown (the play symbol). This button increments by one page only. The double play symbol (or similar) doesn't exist. So you have to click on the highest number shown, again and again, to eventually get to the end. No drop down to type in a page number either.

I like the new KB, I've got so much time for other things now.

Exactly what I was saying last night!! It'll make work easier to go back to next week knowing that I wont just be able to sneak a quick peak every so often!

when I quick reply or leave comments like this, or go advanced...The default font colour is white because I cannot see it? When I highlight it, it becomes blue. I have to select the colour font before I type? Is this right? I thought black would have been the default? Is it just my issue?
Thanks.

That's not what i meant; learn to read yourself

he mentioned he had a style designer (whereas I thought most of this was spankme's own work), and I'm aware of why we "need" an upgrade - so I ask how difficult it would be to get the old look/layout back. This means changing the .css styles to get the site to look like the old familiar KB. I'd hope it was as simple as giving the designer an old printscreen and waiting an hour or two....

Then, on reflection, I posted what was actually bugging me the most as the new thread format is pretty good now the wrinkles have been ironed out.


maybe we could also change "settings" to "user cp" just to end all that confusion

what browser are you using? I'm using google chrome and it's white text on a black background, and firefox seems to work the same too
