[Closed] New Forum....

Whoah! What happened there!

Have I slipped through a vortex in the space-time continuum to an alternate reality where everything else is the same but STW IS ALL DIFFERENT ?

What recipe for eating own shorts?

This is the new forum. Where have you been?

you're greyer, idave

Have you not tried the 'New forum' link up there?

I think it's alright. Maybe not as big a step forward as I'd have expected though and I don't really think the new font is an improvement. I do prefer the colour scheme though.

The 'block user' option seems interesting though...

is that Times new roman up there? ^^ (Chat forum & title), have we gone back to 1985?????

EDIT: does seem clicky clicky faster though?

Is this what happens when people all start agreeing with TJ?

If everyone agreed with TJ this forum would cease. But just like flowers aren't going to get wiped out by people picking them, this isn't going to happen.

POSTED 3 DAYS AGO # REPORT-POST

It has begun......

I'm going to come back as a man.

One minute...

is that Times new roman up there?

New PC here and it's horrid TNR. Is everything black and white for everyone else with a 10 years ago feel?

work PC, so no idea, how/where do I change? TNR is insulting to my eyeballz

Edit: yeah black and white/grey here to.

....but it is faster..........

I like it

ummm. I can't see any difference whatsoever ❓

Reminded me of this...

TNR on Windoze wiv Chrome. Sorry admin.

Is everything black and white for everyone else with a 10 years ago feel?

It's monochrome-arific!

Coudl we have some nice purply bits to brighten things up?

some of this around the edges maybe;

It's very err.. grey. And not in a good way?

ah, ctrl-refresh. Ummm, at least it isn't comic sans I suppose

Yup

You now all live in my black and white world!

Firefox = Times New Roman
IE = Some other skinny hard to read font, similar to TNR

Even though it seems they have only changed to the colour to black and white and done something with the fonts, I'm finding it harder to scan the forum! 😯

After a solid 30 seconds of use, I have concluded that the old one is much better. 8)

Whooooooooah there, what's just happened? Have the STW chaps forgotten to pay their Colour Forum license?

This looks very sombre and doomladen.

Pssst... check the home page too. It's gone a bit BBC!

Yup

You now all live in my black and white world!

I know it's your birthday and all but regardless, that is the post of the day already 😀

like it Jamie - and maybe the background on the buttons at the top of the page too?

Is there a point to the "// +" in the bottom left corner?

(Firefox 11.0, if that makes any difference)

Very cool, though. No I'll go further, cold and uninviting IMO.

Edit: just the greyness, like the front and newsy layout.

[i]my black and white world! [/i]

it's all shades of grey from where I'm sat 😉

YUCK, can we have the old one back now please?

Home page looks OK, but the forum is absolutely awful and it looks even worse on my Andriod phone.

And is the copyright C meant to be halfway up the K on the title?

Middleclasswhineycookbags!

The forum now looks far less obvious on a work PC, can only be a good thing.

Saddam deserves it. I know Bush is unpopular, but... oh, wait.

What Kingtut said. Homepage - yay. Forum - nay.

I don't like change.

At least it's more legible for the visually-impaired among us.

I assumed it was a CSS bug. 😆

Personally, I completely love it. In fact,I think I am in love with it. It's simply delightful and has changed my life completely.

Compare and contrast...

I guess this chrome-free metro-esque look is all the rage now, but the TNR really does jar.

If your an elder PC yes you will get TNR if you're Android you get Droid fonts.

I get something remarkably similar to TNR on iOS 5.1 as well, so it's not a PC related thing.

Edit: on WebOS it looks the same as it used to - what's going on?

I did not notice at first it had changed, not enough tea this morining I guess....

Looks perfect to me - on Android and Chrome

seems identical on my android (using opera) and ie8 - including the use of TNR. can't say it looks very appealing but it seems to work fine.

oooh monochrome

seems identical on my android (using opera)

Same set up here and the forum titles look a little TNRish, a bit crap.

Bleeugh - Serifs and sans serifs all jumbled together there at the top of the page.

Its does look a bit CSS error with those default fonts just cluttering up the place.

I like it. And i'm glad it's not gone all web 2 (or should that be 3 now).

Two things I would change.

The 'posted x minutes ago / report post' font has become massive. It's bigger than the text in the post.

And the buttons circled below look a bit lost/floating.

Otherwise good work.

EDIT: One more thing. Can I be picky and point out the title of the thread doesn't line up with the text directly below it.

[img] [/img]

Just so long as they don't throw me into the cooler, again. 😉

It looks exactly the same to me. What's TNR?

We'll get used to the boring grey. but the TNR is just a crime.

at first I thought the page hadn't loaded properly. Now it just looks unfinished and amateurish (just because of an innocent font...) and there are too many different font too. stick to one type.

i like it. when they going to sort out the search function: thats what i want to know.

*Reports Solo's post.

Loss of colour is a shock at first and is the TNR (although I actually like that as an old fuddy-duddy!).

Much faster which is a bonus and no lime green anywhere - phew!

Needs some kind of border around the options lines (ie, Home, News ....etc and Overview, Bike Forum....etc) as these look a little lost.

How do I block posters?

Mark's Twittered that the TNR is an error & is in the process of being sorted

Well yes if that's your system font. I'm using default serif and san-serif fonts so really it derpends on your machine. If your an elder PC yes you will get TNR if you're Android you get Droid fonts.

I'm on a shiny new Mac - I wasn't aware it even did TNR 😯

Ohhh its all gone Ubuntu font's. Nice.

WHAT'S A TNR?

WHY IS MINE IN COLOUR?

HELLO? HELLO?

Woppit,

CTRL-Refresh

TNR = Times New Roman

Just pressed control F5 with trepidation. Everything still seems to work. All good.

TNR = Times New Roman - the font a lot of people are seeing.

Yours may be in colour due to caching of previous site - try doing CTRL-F5 to reload everything.

from wikipedia

"TNR is promoted by the ASPCA as a humane and more effective alternative to euthanasia for managing and reducing feral cat populations as per APSCA NYCFCI feral cat sterilization guidelines"

STW branching out?

@woppit

Times New Roman

Press ctrl and f5.

Mr Woppit

TNR = Times New Roman

Press and hold Ctrl then press F5

[edit] 4th slowest at typing that WINNER 😥 [/edit]

O.K. Let's see.....

You wait ages for a bus... eh Woppit? 😀

Does Ctrl F5 work on macs?

Well. FWIW - for all the difference it makes, I don't know why STW bothered...

Hmph.

If you want to get anything done these days, you have to complain 'til you're blue in the mouth (B. Fawlty)... 8)

I wish I hadn;t hit Ctrl-r now, the old one was better

Does Ctrl F5 work on macs?

cmd+r

[i]'til you're blue in the mouth[/i]

or, on stw, a slightly lighter shade of grey.

they've still not reinstated Tags for the freeloaders like myself.

cmd+r

A Whiter Shade of Pale?

Thanks - used that by still, grey and TNR!

[i]still, grey and TNR! [/i]

it worked then 🙂

What ! ?, what have I done now ?.

Oh, I do hope the Mods haven't e-mailed me with warnings.
I don't log into the mail very often and......
I think mails from Mods [i]might[/i] now go into the....err.......spam folder....... Maybe.

**Looks upwards and whistles**

Oh, hang on - it makes the adverts stand out more.

Ha.
