Post by: Jim on August 29, 2006, 01:31:04 pm
Hello everyone,
The database and system files upgrades went smoothly ! ! !
I'm ALWAYS nervouse when it's time to upgrade for new features, security updates and just staying current...
Anyway, as things progress over the coming days, please post any changes I may have missed or modifications the system may need as an improvement...
It seems this upgrade was a complete rewrite of all the system files so it will take me a little while to get all the images, text, etc., etc. back to the way it was... Some things, I may just leave as is just to refresh the look...
Hopefully helpful,
Jim

Looks good Jim!
A little note to everyone: you may want to click your refresh button so all the new content loads. I had a mix of old looking and new looking buttons on my screen until I did this!

Jim,
One thing i have noticed that is different. A PM used to be readable in the email notification, but now you have to log on to SMC in order to read the message. Not that big of a deal, but it was nice to be able to just read it and then choose whether to answer it right away or wait until later.
Everything else looks fantastic!
Also, capital letters are being converted to small case on posts. If I go back and edit the post, the caps take hold.

I noticed this too.
it's like the anti-shouting feature that is used in the subject line is also working inside the posts.
I just checked it and the only Etiquette Filter is for post titles.

Thanks everyone!
i'll look into the pm email messages...
i did enable the "no shouting" feature which may be limiting the caps; i'll turn it off and see if there's a difference...

Jim,
I am in UK, and although I utilise the board very little
currently, I still appreciate greatly the work, you all do
to improve the soda enthusiasts world.
I am arranging to meet up with "Dave the Birdman" shortly so he can show me his collection and hopefully his V56, as soon the paint job is completed!
My V81 is still awaiting restoration, so hopefully my trip
to Dave might inspire me to move that project along!!!
keep up the great work!
Regards Ginger

Couple of small suggestions for you Jim
1) Can the "members viewing this topic" be moved back to the bottom of the screen (this is how the old skin was I think ?)
2) Can we make it so the pink tile pattern covers the whole screen ? I get a thick pale blue box around the entire forum on each page because the design is set to 95% of the screen width instead of 100%.
Attached is a screenshot so you can see what I mean.
I'm happy to help with the above if you like

Hello again,
I'm attempting to include additional attachments dialog boxes but the code is for an older version and this doesn't appear to be functioning...
A previous post seems to be lost in the system somewhere; it's not showing... Oh well, back to the original code for now...

Jim,
It looks great! I know one time there was discussion about sending you some $$ for your work and costs to maintain...I don't remember the outcome of that discussion...but I would be glad to contribute if you would accept.
As for me I like the members viewing at the top of the page.

Hello again,
Just a follow-up:
I'm having difficulty with the Rating System; it doesn't seem to maintain a rating. I'm still consulting with higher powers...
Is this something we need or want...?
Lastly, I like the new look and actually think the light blue border, of sorts, adds to the feel a little bit... So, if you really didn't mind Chris, I would like to keep things this way for a little...
If anyone has additional input, please post...
Thanks again & enjoy!

I like the new look also. I know skins are a PITA on some boards, is it difficult on this one also?

Jim,
I also like the blue look. Not sure what the rating system is or does. I can live without it.
Thanks for all!!

Would we be rating each other? If so, I don't think it is needed. The page looks great!
Hmmm, my avatar isn't showing up anymore. I guess I'll have to fix that.

I think I like the new look, it is just taking a little bit to get used to the new layout. Ratings are a toss-up, but I'm not really sure if we need them. The big bonus is that the speed of the site has improved a lot!
Three cheers for Jim!
