New Interface?

[admin]

 

It's loading fine for me in Google Chrome. You're using IE 8, is that what you said or is it doing it with all the browsers you have.

Have you tried running MalwareBytes? The free version is plenty. It's a quick scan so I'm very curious if it finds anything. Lots of viruses out there that try to make ads on a webpage where none are and they are often bad code recognized by your virus software which can keep it from loading and send you into this loop of insanity!

Yes - IE8. 

I have not accessed this site in firefox and I never use chrome.

And I cannot load or run anything like that as our permissions on these government computers are very limited.

It seems like if it was malware it would not go away by just reloading the page (which loads up the next set of ads).

[DaveW]

Hmmm - I am accessing this forum at home on Firefox 13.0.1. Either we got another change of interface (not a major one) or it really looks different than IE 8 that I usually use.

[Nevertheless]

Different how?

I see the old header on my Netbook and the new header on my desktop. Both running XP and using Firefox 14.

[DaveW]

I have IE at work and the background is a light blue-gray.  The nested quotes are a couple of different shades of blue, darker than the main text.

But at home where I tried FireFox, the background is stark white and the nested quotes are white and a very light blue background.  Without having them side by side it is difficult to enumerate but some of the buttons look different or are moved somewhat from IE.

Okay, I will attach a screenshot of what I see. This is on FireFox 14. I don't know how big the attached photo will show on the post, so here is a LINK to a large image.

Same on Chrome. 

[DaveW]

OK - that was pretty much what I see on IE 8.  Perhaps my color definition on my monitor at home is a little off.

I know its too late, but maybe this could be done somehow on the next up-do we get here?

When you hit the manna button, it would be awesome if a message could be sent to the person you were blessing about why you blessed them, or what the post meant to you if you didn't want to announce it and go off the OP.  Just a thought. 

[DaveW]

OK - I thought we had put this puppy to bed.

Apparently not.

Today the posting page was changed radically and a "Spell Check" button added that deletes entire posts.  Right clicking on a misspelled word (as flagged by windows) no longer brings up the browser's spell check and suggestions for correction.

Wonderful.

Just checking doing a bit of  testing

Seems to work like before when I press the reply button, but when I quoted you I got a quick reply window? That is unusual.

My browser's spell check works as before and the sites spell check seems to work fine.

I am using Chrome.

[Carey]

This is the quick reply box I get when I try to quote your post Dave.  Notice there is no quote from you.

[DaveW]

If you will notice the post box is at the bottom of every page and the posted posts are above instead of the last ones being right below the edit window.

it also shows color and italics without showing the codes.  That is a bummer.  I usta like getting in there and editing those by hand .....

[Nevertheless]

Try this:

Profile --> Look and Layout --> scroll down to options.

[these are check boxes]
    Show board descriptions inside boards.
    Show child boards on every page inside boards, not just the first.
    Use sidebar menus instead of dropdown menus when possible.
    Don't show users' avatars.
    Don't show users' signatures.
    Return to topics after posting by default.
    Don't warn on new replies made while posting.
    Hide messages posted by members on my ignore list.
    Show most recent posts at the top.
    Show WYSIWYG editor on post page by default.

[these have drop down choices]
    Choose Quick Reply Type
    Topics to display per page:
    Messages to display per page:
    First day of the week on the calendar:
    Use quick reply on topic display:

Is there an option in there somewhere to allow cut and paste within the editor window? Often when I right click I do not get the "copy" or "paste" options to show up.  But not all the time.  Sometimes it does.

That would be a good thing! I still cannot cut and paste while using my normal browser, Firefox.

I also find that sometimes I cannot edit using the little icon on the lower right of the message, either. It goes to a blank message box, and doesn't replicate the text within it.

That's odd. Have you tried using Ctrl-C & Ctrl-V?

[DaveW]

It seems to be working ok today.

It was not working or was working depending on which editor box came up.  Occasionally the old one with the codes and the posts under the box came up and it would work there just as it did before

[Lively Stone]

I still cannot copy and paste.

[MeMyself]

spell check is still broken for me...when I copy and paste its hit or miss and has anyone else got the highlighted (pop up)words in people's (and their own) posts? I HATE that! 

[DaveW]

I found that if you post your stuff and then immediately call it up by hitting the "modify" button, the spell check and cut and paste functions all work just fine.

Tried that...can't even modify.    Maybe today it will let me. Thanks for the tip!

I have notified Admin about these problems.
