The Members list is located here: MEMBER'S LIST!

It can be found at the top of the forum at pretty much all times. On the same bar as the User CP, etc.

Hmm, well about that?

Does anyone else think that the pages feel cramped and clutered?

i do...they're kind of crammed in together...

It's because Phil's looking for subtle, but effective, ways to drive us all insane!

Well, Phil, the joke's on you! We already are!!!

Well, quite a change since the last time I logged into MuppetCentral.

Overall it seems to be working pretty well, but I have some feedback and suggestions.

(1) Is there a way to have it remember my choice for the "Remember username/password?" setting? Or maybe have it default to unchecked instead of checked? I don't want it to remember my username or password (which I assume is the same as automatically logging me in), but I have to be sure to remember to uncheck that box every time or it will start doing what I don't want it to do. (Whereas, if it defaulted to unchecked, a person who does want it to remember would only have to check it once and they'd be happy, and I just leave it alone, and I'm happy.)

(2) It seems to me since the Login boxes are at the top of the forum page, the "Log me out" link should also be at the top. The login/logout were in the same place in the old software...

(3) Is it just me, or does a lot of the text (forum and thread titles, and the actual message text) seem kind of large? Definitely larger than with the previous version of the software, and with all the new boxes for things, the lines are wrapping more often as a result. (I'm using Mac OS X, I checked with both Safari and IE.) I was a bit surprised to see folks saying "it looks cramped" - I was thinking it looks like there's lots of extra white space! I realize this is something of a matter of opinion, though.

(4) The indicators that there are more pages in the thread seem too subtle to me. They're in small text, unlike many other pieces of text, and the light purple text on the purple backround doesn't make them stand out (and their placement on a purple background makes them look very similar to the message headers). Several times I left a thread without sending the end of it because I missed the "page 1 2 3 Next" text.

Sorry, don't mean to sound critical - I know you guys did a lot of hard work switching over to the new software (and just doing the day to day running of the forums) and I'm sure there are new features that will come in handy - but those were my thoughts upon using the new software today.

Thanks!

That's funny. I'm seeing all the texts (other than the SIZE changer thingies) much much smaller.

Phillip is still ironing out some functions. However, the page has been centered and positioned to the menu since it went up quite a while back. It keeps things uniform with the other pages. The page isn't any more cramped than it was before the upgrade. Maybe there's a margin issue.

I also think you may need to adjust the text size of your browser. See if that works.

Why do I get this when I refresh?

r: #000000; font: 11px verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; } select { background: #CFCFCF; color: #000000; font: 11px verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; } .smallfont { font: 10px verdana,verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; } .time { color: #666686; } .navbar { font-weight: bold; } .highlight { color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; } .fjsel { background: #8080A6; color: #EEEEFF; } .fjdpth0 { background: #F7F7F7; color: #000000; } .fjdpth1 { background: #EFEFEF; color: #000000; } .fjdpth2 { background: #E7E7E7; color: #000000; } .fjdpth3 { background: #DFDFDF; color: #000000; } label { cursor: default; } -->

Just wondering.

Beauregard, what page are you refreshing? Will this error happen over and over for you?

Let us know what you were doing before this happened. Please also provide your operating system and browser type and version number.

I want to thank everyone for all the feedback. A lot of it is being passed on to vBulletin.

 

[Beauregard]

My browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer. I am not sure about the other things, but it happens just about whenether I refresh and all the background colors go white and the links go white too. The Usually on Compose the bit you write in goes auful too. Not sure though.

It dosn't matter, because I can see everything else undernieth but in a "funny" color scheme like I mentioned above. I can still see the flash menu, which makes it better than the old one where that dissapeared when that writing apeared.

Hope this helps.
