[FORUM] Updating of the forum to new version 3.0.2

[nobeefstu]

Eric,

Sorting the new forum should take priority to any fancy new gizmos that are used by the minority

The problem here is the users browser must meet IPB 3.xx requirements for it to fully function properly.

"Front-end Requirements (for your users)

Our products work in any modern, standards-compliant web browser, such as Internet Explorer 7+, Firefox 2+, Safari 3+ and Opera 9.5+"

The price of progress sometimes requires a change to a more modern/up-to-date software thats capable to handle all the new/latest features and functions.

... I haven't quite figured out how to make Firefox the default yet ...

Firefox > Tools > Options > Advanced > General > System Defaults > Check Now

By the way: This is my 900th post. It could have been more by using repetition and other obvious strategies to raise the number. Anyway, 900 is a nice number, and it is time to rethink the amount of time to spend for this forum

Happy posting to you,

Happy Posting to you

Happy 900th posting to you Xaver

Happy posting to you !

Now I'm on my way to a bigger number too

I'm having no problems with the Forum.

Looks good and just enjoy reading others info

and feeling lucky I don't have many of the problems others sometimes get.

Have to spend lots of time traveling so don't have the time to creep up to 900.

Wishing everyone Happy postings and joy with their PTE work,

whatever the level or type of work you do........ enjoy it

I am still haveing problems with text wrapping, I've tred using IE8 & the same thing happens, printed text disappears under the bank of emoticons. Clicking in the box restores it into the box.

The new look forum makes it harder to remember to tick the reply required option. Previously the box to tick was visible, now you have to remember to open the section to allow the reply box to be activated.

Eric, are you talking about "Email notification" for topics you reply to ?

If so, this is an option you can activate in your profile :

But doesn't that remove the option to receive or not receive???

Yes, it does. It's a general option which applies to each topic you participate.

But in the same time you can choose for each topic individually to "watch the topic" / "stop watching the topic" (button on the top right).

Do I answer to your question ?

[Guest Yachtsman1]

Hi Dom

I have used the stop/watch topic button once, but it doesn't seem to be there on every post/reply???

Regards Eric

See attached SS.

Eric,

Click the green button called "Click to Configure Post Options" under Options.

"Click the green button called "Click to Configure Post Options" under Options"......

which appears when you are in the ADD REPLY dialogue.

I've fathomed that now, but I still maintain the process of tagging replies was easier previously
