This new board layout

[Colonel Ronan]

Is there some sort of update I need to get rid of the lag on my work computer?

It might just be an awful computer.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

No problem. OK, iPhone should now display the "normal" front page, but without the sidebar on the right. Can't dig out the ads from the default template though :|

I should be able to dig them out of the mobile template, which, by the way, I made slightly more appealing by making it automatically send you to the forums page instead of forcing the user to click to go there.

Okay, so now it looks "normal" but there's a couple differences from what you describe:

1 - there's no first post ad (yay!)
2 - the right column does appear and stays expanded. (boo!)

So far so good!

No, its a new computer with Windows 7 that works great with everything else.

I went to "settings -> general settings -> and changed to "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing" and the "portland trail blazers" forum skin and it seems to work much better now.

Aha! Everyone should use the Full WYSIWYG interface, IMO.

I wouldn't have thought to ask you if you weren't running it ...

And yes, the ad and funky big white space in the first post of a page of a thread is gone!

I haven't read this whole thread, but I'm pretty frustrated with the new design of this board. What was wrong with the old design? I hate the narrow post width, and the gap between a quote and the top of the post, and the menu along the right side of the screen. If things don't become more readable, I may be out of here.

Click the >> on the right edge of the page, the right column goes away.

I don't know what you mean by narrow post width and gap between quote and top of post. See attached image - that's what I see.

What browser and OS are you using?

Wow. Why the fuck do I even browse the Blazer forum.

I clicked on the arrow you indicated, and the sidebar posts went away. That also solved the narrow width problem of my posts. However, there is still a large empty space between the top of my post and my actual message when I quote someone else. You have to scroll down to see the quote.

What browser and OS are you using?

I'm using Windows XP.

This does not happen to me. (Windows 7, Chrome)

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Oh, and I like everything about the new layout. Good job.

 

[Eastoff]

I'm using Windows XP.

I'm using XP with Google Chrome, and I don't have the problem. Maybe try Firefox instead of Internet Explorer

 

[Denny Crane]

Works in IE8 windows 7 for me (no gaps, etc.)

Okie dokie, Sports2 should now default to the normal view without the right column on the iPhone.

Great work guys!

I wonder if the people who complain about the new layout also voted for Obama and his "change".

Thanks... probably, but we'll fix them. Really. We've placed a series of subliminal, crypto-fascist messages throughout the site. I expect sales of Murray Rothbard and Ayn Rand books to skyrocket in the Portland area any day now...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Ads - still gone
Column - still there
Red/Black styling and Ripcitytwo banner are now gone.

This is not A change I can believe in.

Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to listen to some Rush albums.

No way man, they are the people that want to see Sportstwo's papers proving the site is locally hosted

Crapola. Ok, I feel defeated. Here's the deal. I can make the right column go away (I think it's just stored in your iphone's cache, I've tested on my wife's and it's gone). But to do that, I have to limit the iphone to a single style, which means you lose the RipCity stuff.

Which foot would you prefer to be shot in?

The style foot; I'm fine with that.

...Okay, I've cleared my cache... the results are:

Ads - gone
Column - still there
Styling - back to red/black

Perhaps the mobile detect is just turned off.

Thank you for attempting to fix this. Since it seems nobody likes the column, why not just get rid of it for desktop and mobile? It's not like any Blazers fans will post anywhere else...

 

[Rodolfo]

So a lot of the older threads left with the old format, eh?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Works & looks great on my iPhone right now.

I changed the iPhone detect to off. Gonna have to agree to disagree on the right column. We had it on VB3 too, and we want to at least give people exposure to the other stuff. It does seem that a fair number of folks go exploring, our views seem to be up in spite of the upgrade associated headaches. I will, however, keep my eye open for an update that makes it a user choice to default the column to off. I think I read that might be an option for a future version.

So a lot of the older threads left with the old format, eh?

No, they're back, we just had to rebuild the search index, which is now done.

Since this thread popped up, a couple of things bother me are that I can't rep (when I hit rep, the box doesn't pop up) and there is this big space after someone quotes.

If they can be fixed great. If not, I'll live.

Can you make your browser wider? And what browser/OS?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Thanks for the response. I don't know how to make the browser wider . . . but honestly it doesn't matter that much and I don't want to mess with the computer settings in case it screws up some format I have for business files or surfing the internet.

I know this sounds ignorant because I am ignorant when it comes to computers. Unless there is some button to click on for this site . . . I'll jsut go with it.



I do feel bad about my vote given all the work you put into this and helping me with my lap top questions. Can I change my vote?

 

[Denny Crane]

If your pc/laptop is running windows, you should be able to resize the browser window wider. If I shrink my window way down, I see the rep star move to the next line and it's not clickable. I'm thinking you have a tiny screen or your browser window is very narrow.

Are you running firefox? Internet Explorer? Google Chrome?

I'm on my desktop at work that has a 22 inch widescreen.

When i click to get on the internet the icon is for internet explorer. But my default window is google and one day I upgraded to google chrome.

I know I'm pathetic. Just imagine when i get my laptop and don't get to use business IT to set it up. My laptop might become a coffee stand.

 

[Denny Crane]

what % of your entire 22" screen is the browser window?

try double clicking above the tabs in chrome, or on the title bar in IE. wait a few seconds, then do it again.

About .75-1 inch . . . or a little less than half an inch of black on both sides of my screen when on this site.

Don't quite understand the double clicking the title bar.
