bit strange at first Paul,but it looks good once me bulbs re adjust lol.whens the next update to the v5 radar?

Thanks Paul - looks good.

One problem with the mobile version: how do you jump to the last post of a thread? On the old mobile version the last post was a link so you didn't have to scroll through from the start of the topic, but now I can only see the link to the first post which is a bit frustrating.

Thanks!

[Paul]

Weirdly, for me on the mobile skin it appears to be taking me to the final post of the thread by default?

[Zenarcher]

I like the new look ties in with the main site well

[Backtrack]

Must say, I'm not a big fan of the new theme.

Will surely learn to like it as the days pass though, going to take lots of getting used to, but I liked the old one!

It's not as if he was going to change it back for me Stu. :lol:

[Paul]

It's true, but what's really annoying is that if I'd laid down my bet on you being the first to say you didn't like it then I'd have won plenty of cash!

[snow raven]

No problems with any bugs in the change over, but not keen on knowing who has liked /+ a reputation on a post. It's nice to know who likes what you have posted, but I feel it should be kept anonymous.

[Snowstorm1]

I must admit I'm not keen on it but that's probably because I was really used to the old layout but once I get use to this new layout it will grow on me most likely

[Fozfoster]

Hi Paul, like the new forum site, any problems will be ironed out soon iam sure, so come on winter2011 with all guns blazing. COME ON.

Weirdly, for me on the mobile skin it appears to be taking me to the final post of the thread by default?

Just checked again and it did take me to the last page of posts, which is fine. Maybe it is my phone (using Safari on iPhone 3) in which case apologies for the confusion!

You'd be a very wealthy man if you would of made that bet. Not like any sane bookmaker would take it, lol.

It's not that I don't like is as such, it looks cool. It's just that because I was such an active member, I took a liking to the old skin, it was ease of access, I knew it inside out. This one is more graphically intense and it will take some getting used to because it is very different.

Personally, so far I've found the new format more user friendly and it seems to load more quickly (on my netbook anyway). I like it alot

[BARRY]

what happened to the spell check on the reply posting

[sundog]

I like the look of the new forum. I think the addition of seeing who likes the posts is good,i think there was something similar on the forum a number of yrs ago or maybe my memory is playing tricks on me.

[cheeky_monkey]

its too colourful and happy..its hurting my eyes..i liked it when it was dull and boring..it made me feel kind of superior..now thats gone...damn you all...damn you all to hell

[johnholmes]

hi Paul

How does one get a spell check on a post prior to posting it please?

[mushymanrob]

there was a spellcheck?....lol

i might be missing something, but i cannot find how to post a multiquote after taging one...

[Paul]

Spell check seems to be working ok in chrome and firefox, if you're using IE then you must have IEspell installed, in which case it's worth updating to the latest version:

http://www.iespell.com/

For multi quotes, a small popup appears bottom right when you multiquote any posts, clicking the reply button in that does the trick.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone - good to know the majority seem to be liking it

[johnholmes]

thanks Paul

[Cakie]

Ah, an update. So it's not the iPad gone funny :unsure:

I'll get used to it..............in a month or so

Keep up the good work boys

[Paul]

No problems with any bugs in the change over, but not keen on knowing who has liked /+ a reputation on a post. It's nice to know who likes what you have posted, but I feel it should be kept anonymous.

See where you're coming from, there is the option to turn the votes back to being private again but personally I think there's something to be gained by making it transparent.

[Paul_P1]

Anyone else on Android not getting the mobile version of the site? Or am i missing something, it came up automatically before.

[Ladyofthestorm]

I like it, am I right in saying the fast reply and other reply has gone now? Now its just only one place we can reply from?
