Forum upgrade coming soon

I like the music box!!!! Country oldies..............

 

 

glad you like it. FYI - within each genre you can change radio stations. So let's say you pick Country and start playing it, well you can use the < > buttons to change stations within the country music genre. Some stations are old country, some newer and some mix. Same is true within the other music styles (rock and death metal). The music box only lets me select three basic music styles to have as buttons for you to choose from, which is a bummer since they have a bazillion styles of music available.

 

For those that haven't seen the music box, I think it's only visible on the main forum index page, not the new content list page. To get to the main forum index page, look in upper left of forum and click on the word "forums" and it will show the main forum home page. When the main forum index page opens, the radio controls will show on right hand side of forum.

 

Sometimes that radio player will stop playing if you hit "view new content" but you can keep it playing if you click on the button with the arrow in the upper right of the radio player. When you click on that it will pull it off the page and then will play no matter what page you are viewing.

Directions on how to find it posted in my post prior to this one.... I will go back and bold the text that applies to how to find it so you can find it easier.

What's a "Warning" point? Is that like a forum "Spankin" if we get out of line?

Yes....It's always been a feature of this forum software but I never have used it. I might even be able to turn it off.

Hi Amanda:

 

Can't find the "change theme" button. There are eight buttons in a horizontal row, but none is labled. Below that, there also is what looks like a one-fourth section of an orange target. Is one of these what you meant?

 

I've clicked on all of those buttons, but the black and mud-brown graphics do not change.

 

Also, is there a way to limit the number of days that are shown when I click on "view new content"?

 

Any chance of making the avatars larger as were those in the most recent "skin"?

Bill,

 

The "Change Theme" text is just to the right of what I think you are calling the orange target. "Change Theme" is just a text link, not a button. When you click on the text, it will show a menu with choices of skins.

 

Yes, there are ways to limit the number of days shown when you click view new content. After you click View New Content, look to the left margin and you will see many options to click on to set View New Content to show just the new content since your last visit, or since the last 24 hrs, last week, last two weeks, etc. Those text options are shown under "By time period" and you will see a pink highlighted area showing what you have selected. If you click on the other options, the pink highlighted area will be over your choice. Bill you may call me if you want and I can talk you through it. 928-200-0544.

 

I will check on the avatar size.

 

Keep the comments coming, and I will try and answer/address them as I can.

Bill,

 

I think I fixed the avatar size....does it look right to you now? It is 5 pixels smaller than the old skin because the same size was pushing slightly outside the border of the graphic behind the avatars. but it's larger than it was when you originally asked me to look into it.

I can't seem to find the music controls after going to the forums index page and looking on the right side...might still be doing something wrong...does it matter that i'm using an ipad to view the website?

I only found the music box after I logged out. It wasn't showing up when I was logged in.

Hi Amanda:

 

Yes, the avatars look great now. However, there is no text at all below the "reply to this topic" box on my screen, and no options appear when I click on "view new content."

Here are a couple pics of how it should look Bill. Take a look and see if this is what you see on your screen below the text reply box.

 

Are you using a MAC or PC?

 

I added a yellow arrow and text to point out the Change Theme Text.

and here is the view you should see after you click on view new content. note the list on the left margin showing the different time frames for the new content.
