New ECF Theme!

[AzPlumber]

So, which Moderator will be the like system referee?

I think this has been answered during X-gate

Hit or miss for me sonic. Works fine as long as you're in the same thread. Move to another to quote and ??? Don't understand what breaks this function but it doesn't uniformly when selecting text from alternate threads (tabs, alt windows) or if you hit reply first. May be my old v6.x Safari. Use it when I can tho.

Now on to weird stuff don't work. Any insights on why I might be experiencing local thread search crash loop? I've cleared cookies, reset browser, etc., etc. Do still need to test on alt browsers.

Thanks and good luck.

p.s. @sonicdsl, here's loopin' at ya…

My apologies, I wasn't aware of the restriction to staff on quoting on closed threads.

As for your search quandary, Retired or Oliver will have to answer that question.

No apologies nec. The best nod is getting it right. We have a bunch of great observers on this thread. Thx guys.

Good luck.

Is it just me or did someone mess with the background color scheme of the old "ECF" theme?

Don't think it is just "You" - but then again I'm old and wear glasses . . .

I don't know - I just flipped back over to it and I think it looks the same ?
But I have been staying on the Aluminum theme to get used to it...so I could have 'forgotten' already.

Looks the same to me. I tried the Aluminum and switched right back to ECF.

 

[tearose50]

I'm using aluminum on an Android
and am adjusting to most changes ok.

What is annoying me that I haven't seen mentioned is that that darned ,B, indicating blog, makes many names split into two lines--for example

B. Katy
a

B. Ross
um

B. Katdar
ling

I'm sure hoping that gets corrected right along with reworking the various labels and changing back to square avi's

PS -- get rid of green reply circle.
Redundant, gets in way and is too darn easy to tap when scrolling

Happens even on my PC (ECF skin) with longer handles.

If you mean the blinking online status green dot, it annoys me too. I have more than enough blinkers in my life as is.

I don't see the names split up

And I agree about that bottom right green thing - I keep thinking there is an Avery Dot Sticker on the screen !

Had to switch back to Aluminum to investigate. Reply dot bottom right. Got it. Another green dot. Hmm... Does look like a sticker. But at least it doesn't blink.

I don't care for it either, and not sure why it's at the top of the page as well... Perhaps there is some place it could be affixed at the bottom of the page for those who missed seeing all the chances to reply on the way there?

 

[Katya]

[tearose50]

Avery dot sticker. Perfect description.

And there are 2 on the floating top of every page.??

The one at top is stationary, but...when at the top of the page, the floating one also appears...so you see 2...

 

[Katya]

I see one on the top and one on the bottom--in addition to the the reply box.

Awww, I like the green dot post button

As for why there's one at the top while the bottom one is floating regardless, I don't get that either. Top one is definitely redundant.

 

[Katya]

Top one is definitely redundant.

Not only is it redundant, it also creates that huge white space on top of the page (to the left of the dot) which I really dislike.

And a question. What are those little boxes in front of thread titles (threads with no new posts) for? When I click on the box, I get a check mark.

ETA: Not a new feature--I just never figured out.

 

[sonicdsl]

And a question. What are those little boxes in front of thread titles for (on my watched threads page)? There used to be a rather useful blue dot there (last read post). When I click on the box, I get a check mark.

The blue dot will still show up when there are new posts in a thread (and you can just click on the title, not necessary to click on the blue dot, to reach first unread post). The checkbox is there to manage the threads in your Watched Threads list. Say you want to Unwatch more than one thread, click the checkboxes, then click Manage Watched Threads at the top right. You can then click on Stop Watching Threads, and voila!

(Alternately, if you want to stop email notifications, but select Disable Email Notification in the last step).
