VR6Pete 1,455 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 As you have probably noticed, the forum has had some tweaks... Please feel free to provide some constructive feedback on things you like, dislike etc... It's a fluid layout, so will resize what ever your screen resolution / screensize / device is... so is optimised what ever you use....It has a clean layout that is touchscreen friendly hency why things look a littler larger than before...Still need to tweak menu navigation, the logo and add a drop down to display the inbox / outbox / send message links oat the top of the page...Below is an example of how forum images will eventually display (click image)...anyway, please feel free to provice some useful feedback, or post any issues you have, please dont say "i dont like it" its not constructive CheersPete Link to post Share on other sites

russj249 2 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Only a small silly thing, and might be just because I'm on mobile... on the new posts bit (which is working perfect) I like the fact that the posts don't clear after you've clicked on them, but I can't see the difference between new posts, and ones I've already read. Is it simple to alter the colour or font on hyperlinks that have already been clicked on? maybe keep the same colour/font but in italics or something.I keep clicking on the same post thinking its another reply that's all.

J5KE F 0 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 The new site is lovely crisp and clear on my ipad, havent had a chance to look at on laptop yet but would expect similar format..Still finding mobile (iphone) ver cluttered and hard to navigate whereas before it was much clearer and simple which really is whats needed for phones?? Perhaps the information / headers and avatars for peoples profiles could be either shortened or on a drop down?Overall, 8/10! For mobile and 10/10 on main! Link to post Share on other sites
