New format

papafsh · Dec 20, 2002

Well I don't want to be a complainer, but, sorry Chris, I don't like the new format.
I prefered seeing all the post topics together and then choosing which ones I wanted to read, this new format is way too "busy" and it takes longer to get through.
I know "you can't please everybody" and it's your web site.
This is not a slam on your fine effort, we all appreciate you, and I'll get used to it, but I still don't like it.

So I guess I'll go eat worms! but I don't fish with them :+

I think you have topics expanded. Find the option to collapse and it should return to what your used to seeing.

When I first logged on, it looked way too busy, too. I clicked on "collapse topics" and that cleaned it up a lot. See if that helps.

I like the calendar option we have now...that way we can just throw info. on events, etc on there.

When you get old the first thing that goes is your memory. I forgot what the second thing was.

Well when I first got here this morning and tried to get on I had nothing but problems. Well as you see I made it. When I got here I didn't like it so much but I hit the collapse topics botton and everything cleared up a little. As I see here it is just about the same. I'll let you know if I don't like it but it looks good so far.

I sent you a email because I couldn't get on. Nothing seemed to work but I played around a bit and now I'm here. So when and if you read it just dis-reguard it.

What happened to all of you smily faces. Your missing some.

Glad it worked out for you Jim. I have items like smilies missing listed in the topic "Forum Changes - Issues - Info".

flyflyaway · Dec 20, 2002

I noticed on the home page the topics on the right under Forum, Fly Patterns, Classifieds are all in huge font now. Is this part of the new format, or is there something in my settings I can change to make these smaller again?

Chris Scoones · Dec 20, 2002

They should be the same sized font as the text under the welcome message. Anyone else with this issue?

flyflyaway · Dec 20, 2002

I hit refresh and they look back to normal. Not sure if you did anything or if it just needed to be refreshed, but either way it looks good. Thanks Chris!

Thanks Chris, That was all it was....just when you think you are gettin' pretty good on-line...your stupidity rears it's ugly head, well mine did anyway!

Thanks for settin' me straight.

Your web site is my all time favorite, and just like a lot of others on here, I always check in here first.

Keep up the outstanding service to us all.

I'm glad that was it. Not even sure why expanded is even an option as it's worthless as you saw to try and sort through.

Regards,

Chris

The thrill is not in the kill---But to let them go.

Hey Chris it keeps getting better each time I come back on. I really like the pages instead of view all. . Hell I can't find any more to complain about so I guess I will keep my mouth shut. I'll bet that will keep a few people happy.

I remember you asked for the pages. Yep, it's an option now but I'm not sure if I like it, or at least it should be held to one way or the other. What I mean is that if others are responding in threaded mode and you have it listed linear (paged) I can't imagine the flow of the thread will make as much sense. Hope it works for you.

I find it eaisier to read as you don't have to click on each thread and they come in order that way you don't have to chase around in the post to see whats up. All these new words are screwing me up.Threads and posts. You'd thing that we were sewing and making fences. But why does the first page have to come up on each page. What I mean is the first story in line,it's on each page,in the thread. I'm starting to screw myself up I better quit.

I agree it is a difficult format to work with.I always have difficulty with computer and all the options.
Sorry

Chris,

I used to be able to change the font size by using "View Text Size" from the menu bar. This no longer works.
