Chat Board Upgrade

[Brejen]

Steve not sure if it's only me or not but the times seem to be out also the time at the top is a day late and out a few hours. As i said may only be me, but may be something overlooked by yourselves. Mate the new board looks the goods as usual. Great job once again.........
Thanks
Brett

One problem I'm having is with word wrapping in the post message. I'm using Firefox as my browser and whe nI actually open a post, I'm only viewing about 1/3 of the width of the message. I have to scroll sideways to view all the message. It's like it's not picking up that there should be a word wrap limit or EOL characted there.

The Forum lists open fine and I can get rid of the problem by hitting the refresh button once i'm in the post but it's very annoying.

Any ideas ?

[Hoges]

Also using Firefox but not having the same issue as Richard with text wrapping. All fine with mine as it fits the page exactly. Can't think of the solution for you but I am sure someone smarter than me will be able to assist.

One feature I have noticed missing is under where it says who the thread was started by it still lists who started it but no longer has when the thread was started. I allways found that helpful when first opening up a new chat page.

Keep up the good work Steve

setting default font size to 12 (like this) would be better than 11. There seems to be plenty of room to go bigger, with lots of blank space on most posts.

Seeing the start date of a thread was most helpful too.

Member profiles have been reset. Did I really join 1 day ago? Do I really make 96 posts per day? Very minor issue here, just thought Id mention it.

Seems the times are out (going backwards :o)

[imported_admin]

As you can no doubt see there has been a change.

I have upgraded teh chat boards to the latest version.

As a result there may be a few features that have not been transferred over.

The bulk of them are here and the others will be added over time.

If you find anything not working please feel free to post here and I will look at it as soon as possible.

Yes the font is too small even for :omy eyes.
Eye strain from too much ausfish surfing is no good, be great if you can increase the font to 12
As always getting used to web site changes takes a while.
cheers Gerard

I run Firefox as well, but cannot see any of the message... :'(

I've had to resort to Internet Explorer just to do this!

I'm also with Hoges on the "Thread Creation Date/Time"

[Fishin_Dan]

To fix the date/time issue, go and edit your profile (Click on your name on the top left of one of your posts). Go through the options, and you will need select the GMT + 10 (Eastern Australian Time) from the drop down list on about the 3rd page.

You will also need to resetup (if you had it turned on) to email you about PM's.

Just check all the settings as you go through your profile.

Once you've done that, the dates & times will be back to normal. The reason they are out is because they are displaying in GMT time (10 hours behind). I don't know how to fix the days since joining though...

[DaneCross]

Where's live chat? :-? :(

[mackmauler]

Will be back up as soon as I can get the bug out of the new version.

cheers steve...........

Steve - The site seems to be screaming along! Definately an improvement in performance. Great job!

The site doesn't seem to let you stay logged in though. Used to keep you logged in all the time (When you ticked the box at login time the first time). I'm assuming that "Keeps" is meant to be the same thing, but every day I open the site, I have to log in again...

This is what is called a "feature" in the new version.

This feature will be removed very shortly :)

Steve,
Can or will you be able to add a pic to an existing thread?

[straddie]

Hi Steve, it might be a good idea to get some limits back on graphics sizes for avatars and sigs as well before too many of the life size pics and monster file sizes get uploaded.

Yes, but you will need to use the Reply option, not the quick reply.

Appologies Steve, saw a 1.7mb image on one of the recent posts but didn't look at the source. It's an external domain. :-[

[saphire]

Hello,
I am unable to change the avatar with the new softwear.
Can you please let me know how to do this?
Cheers,'

Guys, guys, guys,

This site is obviously work in progress at the moment.

Steve, site looks great, it looks more professional.

It just gets better!

I still can't believe we get this for nothing!

I spend at least an hour in here every day,

Thanks Steve,

Cheers

Macca

[saphire]

LOL,
Macca you are right.
We should chill out a bit.8-)

[Burley_Boy]

Took me a few days to get back in as I had the site as my homepage and just got to the admin login page when the site changed.
There may be a few guys out there who are still in neverland thinking the site is gooooone. Maybe place a reroute to new site button at that page steve. Or else maybe it was just me!

[searaider]

Geday again Steve ,
One other little issue , and it may just be me as I'm colour blind .
I'm finding it extremely difficult , if not impossable to read the Names of Ausfish Platinum members .
As I said this could just be me , any one else having the same problems ?

One a good note :-
I'm still using dialup , but I'm impreseed how quickly the site loads up now .

[searaider]

Geday Steve ,
Boy that was aQuick response with the colour change , now all the member type / colours look great [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
I originally thought that I like the old format better , but with all the moderfication you are putting into it ,the new site is turning out great .
I really appreciate all the time and effort that you put the site .
Thanks

thanks.

I tried over the weekend to log on from my home computer and kept getting the message " invalid user name / password" though both were correct.
Today, as I never logged off site from the work PC, was onto the site in a flash. Is there a problem with being logged on at one computer and then trying to log on from another. I think it worked in the past OK.
Regards Cameron.

[imported_admin]

You should be OK to login from two locations, although very difficult to do ;D

If you leave your work computer logged in it shouldn't matter.

Just make sure you have entered your Membername and Password correctly. They are case sensitive so Cam is not the same as cam

Try logging off your work computer and them login again using the Login option, just to check that you have the details correct.

[imported_admin]

Display problem in Firefox should be fixed now. I haven't had the problem since I fixed it last night. Well, I think I fixed it.

If it happens again let me know.

In the "Last Post" column I see when the last post was made - but not by whom. Is this the same for everyone or just my puter ??

Have added this one to the list, it is a bit more involved though with the new version. Hope to have it added soon.
