As everybody should have noticed by know, I've made a few changes. Most noticeably, the buttons have changed, and there's now a blue band at the top of each message. The band has always been there, it was just never blue. I'm still experimenting with the buttons inside this band, so every time I change these buttons, some threads may look weird because even though the buttons have changed, the layout will only change when a new message is added to the thread. Another thing that has changed is the quoting style. The reason I changed it is because I noticed that a lot of times it didn't format properly (because of used UBBCode in the quoted text) and that made it very hard to read. The new quoting style looks like this: | | | quote | | Originally posted by Cliff Pennock: The reason I changed it is because I noticed that a lot of times it didn't format properly (because of used UBBCode in the quoted text) and that made it very hard to read. |

The new quoting style probably needs a bit getting used to, so give it time. As long as I'm not entirely done with the changes, I suggest you check this thread to look how it is supposed to look. I'll make sure that this thread will be formatted properly after each change. Also, if you have any comments, please leave them here. To make sure this thread stays formatted properly, please do not post pictures or use your signature in this thread.

Looks great Cliff!!!!!!!!
The only thing I'd still like to see is a "subscribe to" option that allows you to check a box and recieve e-mail notification when someone replies to the thread. Like I could check the box here and then whenever someone replies to this thread I would recieve an e-mail telling me that someone replied to this and I should go read what they have to say 
Anyway, the forum keeps getting better, thanks for all the time and effort you put into it  Hopefully editing this post doesn't mess up the formatting of this thread...
Nick

Very nice work Cliff. I have noticed how hard you have worked to improve this Forum in just the short time I have been a member.
Having a website myself (can't even come close to comparing to the quality of work put into this one) I know how much time it consumes !!

To start off, I don't mind the changes. These are just my reactions & ideas. 1) The 5 "Radio buttons" currently underneath the "New Topic" & "Post Reply" are hard to read. (maybe a different color text might help ? red ? font ? The Profile,Email,P.M.,Edit,Quote buttons are alittle easier to see, maybe it's the darker blue backround. (?)
2) When using the quote option, can that information be made to display in the normal width ? Just seem's a little to small. Again, it makes the font harder to read. (I must be getting old !!) lol
3) Can PIP be limited to display 640 x 480 ?
4) Is there a valid reason to allow larger that this ?
Any larger, the whole posting gets to wide. With my laptop, I'm limited to 800 x 600. Thanks Cliff [This message has been edited by CoolBlue87GT (edited 11-05-2002).]

Yes! I like, too! Regarding Avatars...
I don't think that they are necessary.
Sig pics are enough. (Just MHO)
Although it might be cool to have a line or two to add a comment. (Yes, I know people do that already.)
Although Avatars can be cool, I have seen some forums that are so cluttered with "goodies" that they are truly a PITA to even read. You *can* have too much of a good thing.
I like the layout of this Forum better than any others I frequent. Kind of like "home". [EDIT] ...to repair effects of cranial-rectal inversion. [This message has been edited by Raydar (edited 11-04-2002).]

Very nice Cliff! Good Job! I am running 1024x768.
Is it just me or the font on the buttons is too small? I can hardly read what is says. ------------------

One thing I would like to see is a short cut for the UBB code. Since I do not use it much I have to load that UBB page to see how to make something bold, quote etc. I'd like to see a crid notes area just above or on the right side of this message area with the common ones listed. [b] Bold, quote etc Rodney
