Big change's a comin' - SOON

Noice one

Much quickerer.

iSpy seems to still be there .

[Burnsy]

I haven't los tit, iSpy that is

Ispy is definitely not on my screen my tabs don't fit like echidnas, could it be hanging off the screen where I cant see it? I am running IE but don't want to change resolution as it messes with other formats.

Edit : Just tried changing my screen format and it did not help Ispy, still not there. I logged onto the renovation forum last night and there was no Ispy there either, should there have been. I had Ispy this morning before the tabs showed up.

The Renovate forums does not have the iSpy feature.

As for your missing iSpy Burnsy, try one of the other skins, the wiki-blog default skin is missing it for some reason, will let Neil know.

Thanks DJ, problem solved

[ubeaut]

Already know. Wiki and iSpy are both missing from wiki-blog skin, will send out a search party but for the mean time all other skins have it on. Skins are in the drop down bottom left of all pages.

iSpy will go onto the Reno forum some time in the future. Not sure when but should be in the next few days with luck.

I am trying to get a floating version of the tabs so they fit on all screen sizes but for now they will stay as they are as the majority of users now have resolutions set at 1152 x 826.

It's new - There will be teething problems hopefully not too many.

searching has now become very convoluted
I just tried to find a thread I started "Free House Heating" using the google at the bottom of the page and I get a directory listing but can't connect to the thread

This the thread you're looking for Bob?

[ubeaut]

Bob - we moved this entire site over to the new one just so we could get the Reno Form off here and onto there.

There are more than 69,650 posts, in over 7,900 threads in the Reno section alone. To get each one to be found in a search would have meant putting a link to each. As it is the google search engine is searching the Archives for the old threads then woodwork forums and then sending you to the new site and into the forum but not the exact thread. Without many thousands of hour work this will not be fixed. None of us unpaid volunrteers are going to do that. In the next week or so the entire site will again have been spidered and the searches should be more precise.

But for now..... Like I said above It's new - there will be teething problems and all will be ironed out in the fullness of time.

I found it alright by using the forums Advanced Search and the key word heating and Echnidna in username.

I like the concept. The old front page was waaaay overdone to the point where it was a problem. However, I too get the tabs overlapping (just the end one wrapping around onto the first one). No, I do NOT consider changing my settings to suit your forum an appropriate answer and would suggest that you keep the experts working on the problem. Having said that, I realise that you are working on it (as you always do), I'm just responding to some of the posts above.

I'm a little concerned that things could get lost - for example, it took a while to find 'Nothing to do with Woodwork' - but that's more a product of the number of forums you're running now. I do wonder if all the non-woodwork sections are necessary, regardless of the amount of traffic they get. Anyways, that's for you to consider.

I do like the tabbed concept though.

Oooo Fixed.

Interestingly, the tabs are far clearer too. Not sure why, maybe because they are slightly smaller, but they look very sharp now

Like the tabs, good solution

Having a problem with closed forum sections not staying that way though and the buttons to do it are red x's, prob with my settings?

[ubeaut]

G'day Cruzi - You've got me with the closed forums bit. Can't say I know what you mean.

Are you talking about the image that compresses and expands the forum sections or the locked threads. A screen shot may help. What browser are you using? What skin are you using? Does it happen in all skins? Any other info?

If it's the there are none on any of the front page forums that I can see any more. Dunno where they went but they sure did went.

Cheers - Neil

That's the button that is missing, using www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au domain, tried wiki skin and ubeaut skin with same result.

When red x is pressed to compress forum section, it only stays compressed for that page view, when you navigate back or reload the section has expanded again.

Using IE6. something with cookies enabled.

Must say that tab system means that forum sections not staying compressed is not as big a prob as it could be now.

Edit: tried all the skins, no button for any of them.
