Jeff Wexler Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Trying out a new theme for the Discussion Group. Let's see if anyone likes this or not. Regards, your host: Jeff Wexler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hey Jeff, welcome home, hope all is well... The new look is clean and sharp on my end. I had no complaints as to the old look, but change is good in my book. If it's up for vote, I'll go for it. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Sanmiguel Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I liked the old look better than this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 what's with all the empty gray boxes? Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 It's ok. It's easier for me to read on this CRT since the type is bigger in the dialog box. Philip Perkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 what's with all the empty gray boxes? Eric You will have to tell me where the empty gray boxes are appearing --- I'm not sure what you mean. I am sort of liking this format/template and it seems to perform a little better. It is about as lean and clean as you can get and still function. We'll keep it for awhile unless there is a lot of dissatisfaction.

Eric Toline Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Jeff, The gray boxes are under the posters name, under your name there are 5 gray boxes. Then there are gray boxes at the beginning of each thread. I can't find the "reply with quote" link any more. I have a feeling that my web tv system doesn't have the ability to fully see all the new changes that have been made. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I have a feeling that my web tv system doesn't have the ability to fully see all the new changes that have been made. Eric Sorry, Eric, I believe the problem IS with web tv. I have checked the new user interface on several different browsers on several machines and everything seems to display properly. The "boxes" below our names are actually stars (a graphic icon) that represents the member status (in most case, 5 stars, Hero member, etc.). Also, the QUOTE button is still there, to the lower right hand side of a post, but the "Reply with Quote" is gone. Hitting the box that says "QUOTE" is the same as replying with quote. I have to say that I am really liking the look and performance of this new template so I am going to stick with it for now.

Eric Toline Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I figured it was my antiquated web tv system that is the problem. The new format makes it more difficult for me to figure out what the empty boxes are for. I assume there are supposed to be some kind of picture in those spaces. I will try to clunk my way through as best I can. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Maier Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I think the other was a bit easier to read scheme wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Somebody here who actually knows how to do the POLLING thing could set one up for voting on this theme. I really like it but hey, I'm only one guy (but it is MY group, right?). - JW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeffrey Colon Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 This does not look as busy to me... Whan I first logged on the typeface was super large... Apple key+(-) fixed that. Either one looks good to me... but then again, I'm neither red or blue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mick Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 My 10c likes it jeff, but if we're focusing on the look then we're losing track of the point aren't we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeffrey Colon Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hi Mick... sometimes I think the folks at fostex have this same issue :-) I will not defend time spent on making this a pleasant place to exchange info and ideas, My brain hurts enough from reading the word clock thread... Very informative and probably worth three weeks of my figureitout time... The fact that links show up in a different color on this interface makes any stress I might have adjusting to it worthwhile... Thanks to JW for running a nice establishment.

Jeff Wexler Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 I will not defend time spent on making this a pleasant place to exchange info and ideas, My brain hurts enough from reading the word clock thread... Very informative and probably worth three weeks of my figureitout time... I'm still reeling from the Word Clock thread myself (but fortunately for me it is a purely academic issue with my setup --- but I need to stay informed). I also agree that if we focus on the format too much we will miss the main focus. But as Eric points out, I am an Aires and that's part of the problem. - Jeff Wexler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Wow, all these years that I've known you and I didn't know you were an Aries, (what ever that is). So am I. Maybe I did know at one time, but today it is news to me. Lets start a new poll and see who else is an Aries, and who wants to be an Aries. Or not. As for the new theme for your site, it is very clean and all, but the colors could be warmer, or is that my fire sign speaking... Happy H 2 the O 2 the Ween.... U all.
