It must be the settings you're using. Zion and I both have full-color photos as avatars and they're under 5K. Are you using the "Save for Web" option?

12 Kb FOR THE AVATAR WOULD BE PERFECT.

12K @ 25 posts per page (typical) would be 300K for avatars alone. While users with slow connections can disable avatars, I'd prefer to keep the forum accessible to as many people as possible.

I actually agree with you 100%. It's one of those things I never noticed during development, but while scanning all these posts, my eyes keep looking at the member sign-up date and I have to try really hard to find the post date.

I'll work on this.

Thanks for all the feedback.

I wish everyone's old avatars carried over (and stretched to fill the whole avatar box, or at least didn't have a blue boarder around them), there are a lot of people who don't post here anymore, so if you go into any old threads you are met with a zillion blank faces.

You have a good point about the old avatars. I might be able to accommodate that request :)

I did it for that reason and for search engine purposes. Without a proper redirect, we'd lose our search engine rankings.

Can you guys give me as many details as possible regarding what you're seeing? Browser/OS, error message, etc.

Thanks.

JAY, IT'S NOT THAT BAD. I'LL ALWAYS LIKE THE OLD VERSION BETTER, BUT THIS WILL DO.

The old version is ugly.

Great job to be sure! Congrats. I do have a quick question though, how do I get my icon to fit in the whole "window" for the av? I can't seem to make it bigger.

The ideal avatar size is 80 x 80. I'm working on a way to have the avatar centered in its position rather than flush top/left so smaller avatars look better.

I could force the image size and let the browser stretch it out, but it would be ugly.

Should be fixed now. I was mistakenly caching topic posts during the user login session, so if a topic were updated within that timeframe (15 minutes), you wouldn't see it until your login session refreshed.

Bug testing is so much easier when you have a small army of testers. I really appreciate your patience guys. Thanks a lot.

On this particular topic, it's reporting a total of 3 posts even though there are 4.

Obviously I still have some bugs to work out :)

Edit: My reply seems to have fixed it. This is really odd. I'll look into it.

Anyone else having this problem? This is something I haven't experienced myself, so it's hard to diagnose.

OT Lite isn't really done. Could be a failed experiment on my part. Might drop it.

I dropped post count into user profiles. The page still isn't formatted, but at least it's there. Unless people really scream for it, I'm not going to place it within posts.

I vote to have them back within posts.

Get at least half the membership here saying that, and you've got a deal.

I like the new look. there are a few things that i miss though. I haven't got a clue how to add an image, links etc to a reply anymore. Is there any chance of re-adding the buttons to do this again?

At some point, yes, there will be buttons. Probably a WYSIWYG editor, actually.

In the meantime...

Made a minor tweak to the script that rewrites the old forum URL and maps it to the new forum. Should work now.

It does need a cleaner presentation, I agree.

I'm working on a first page/last page/first unread post scheme. How does that sound?

I'm having to re-enter my user name and password every time I come to the site,
Checking the "remember me" box doesn't seem to help, either.

Silly question: do you have cookies disabled? "Remember me" requires a cookie. If you do have cookies enabled, try clearing them out.

What browser are you using?

For the first issue, I'm automatically assigning the moved post as the last post in the forum even though it's not the newest post by date. Thanks for catching that. Will fix.

Post delete should be removing that post as the last post. Not sure why it's broken. I'll investigate.

The last issue was caused by me repeatedly editing that topic to be an announcement forum-wide because other issues were causing it to be stripped of its announcement status. Any time you post an announcement or reply to it, that post is listed as the newest post in that forum. That should go away now that I fixed the issues causing the announcement to break in the first place.

Is there any chance you could bring back the old colors, though?

Ooh, does this mean we don't get email notification for every single post in a subscribed thread but only one until we visit? Hoo hoo! Gonna like this.

You'll still get one for every new post. I can add single notification to the feature list though.
