uncertaintraveler Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 It used to be that when you clicked on a topic, you'd see all the posts at once by scrolling down. Now you have to click on each post within a thread -- a lot more trouble to read an entire thread. Just wondering why that changed?I just found this forum recently but love it!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I agree---the new format is a lot more difficult to follow now. Is there some way to go back to the way it used to be: click on a topic and you can read all of the posts by scrolling down? The new format takes too much time, is too cumbersome for me to follow completely, and (in my view) is hardly user-friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YakuzaIce Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Maybe you two have some different setting on, but I see fifty posts per page without clicking on individual posts.EDIT: Just wondering in the area at the top of the page (blue bar with title). To the right are there three options? I want to say there used to be and it was different ways to view the board. But I don't see it anymore, but that may be because of my firewall.

editor Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 I'm with Yazuka - I get 50 messages per page.It sounds like your Display Mode has somehow been set to Outline instead of Standard. I'm not sure how that happened, and I'm not sure why the option to change the display mode isn't shown. I'll have to research this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 I've done a little research, and it appears I've screwed something up. I'll try to fix it in the next 72 hours or so. Sorry. That area at the top where there the " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Woo hoo! It's fixed. Look toward the top of the page on the right and you'll see the options Outline, Standard, and Linear+. Pick the one that you like best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 I liked the old icons better. These seem a little cartoonish to me.

YakuzaIce Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I see you changed some of it back. It looks better now, with a mix between the old and new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewMND Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I like it better when it would say "today" "yesterday" etc... for the last post of a subject, now it will say "22 minutes ago" and I'll think 22 days ago or something, I'm afraid of change and I just need to get used to everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YakuzaIce Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I agree, or at least limit it to like 12 or 24 hours. Because "3 days ago" is kind of pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YakuzaIce Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Yeah I like it like this. Or if you wanted to do the X minutes ago I think it would be better if it was for only an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbigtex56 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 The past several days I keep getting pop-up error messages: "Internet Explorer Script Error", followed by gobbledy-gook about Object Expected Line so-and-so, etc. In order for the page to load, I have to hit 'yes' repeatedly (depending on the length of the page, 20, 30 times!) before the error messages finally quit. And yes, I've unchecked the box in Internet Explorer under 'Options' ("Display a notification about every script error"). But, it being Microsoft and all, of course that has no effect. Anyone else having this problem? Can someone offer suggestions? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, "Sorry, but you do not have permission to use this feature. If you are not logged in, you may do so using the form below if available."Granted that is the first time I have ever even tried to log out. It does that to me, too. I keep meaning to look into it. Thanks for the reminder. It doesn't seem that the threads are recording views now. I thought it was just me. I guess that's another thing to look into. If I don't post updates in the next couple of days, bug me about these. Yeah all those options to the right of the name (on the profile page) are gone. I am trying to think of the other two. I know one that has been gone for awhile was view topics by user. It appears to have been disabled. Even on the forum for the company that makes this program it's not there. I'll have to ask them why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssullivan Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 And yes, I've unchecked the box in Internet Explorer under 'Options' ("Display a notification about every script error"). But, it being Microsoft and all, of course that has no effect. That checkbox in IE does work -- it works for Javascript and VB Script errors. These are scripts that the browser runs locally on your computer. It has no effect on SQL errors, which run on the server side. The error you describe is a SQL error, not a client-side error. The error you get if that checkbox is checked when you go to pages with bad Javascript is a popup box that asks you if you want to continue running scripts on that page. The web page will continue to load as best it can with the bad script though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
