Re: New Look Forum
The more I look around the more I like the new look. I really like being able to choose between two different board styles. I guess some of the old grouches on the forum just don't like change.
Re: New Look Forum
Too soon to say if I think it's better but it's important that the admin thinks so.
I guess the admin will be killin' one bug at a time for awhile.
Then there the instructions for uploading pix and such will need a redo.

Re: New Look Forum
Thanks for the heads up on the prosilver style Heath. I hate to be a stuck-in-the-past kind of guy but the new default format is very unpleasant. Maybe it just takes some getting used to. Prosilver is a lot closer to the old format and uses the entire width of my monitor better. Interesting, the Prosilver forum index says Moderator: Nick. Anybody know Nick?heathicus wrote: As a workaround, in the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, I changed my setting for board style to prosilver. Although the color scheme is not "Shopsmith" colors, I like this style much better..

Nick was at one time a member of the Shopsmith staff. He is the one who does the demonstration videos for the Sawdust Sessions; the little short guy (shorter than me).
Yes, thank you for leading me to prosilver. This screen is still a little too bright but it is better.

Actually I can see some good points and the fact that it is more of an integrated part of the entire Shopsmith web site makes it more likely that I will spend more money.

Re: New Look Forum
I had a problem with the "photos in text" issue in my recent post regarding my new TS sled.
When I posted it (old format) the photos were in the text. A couple of hours later I checked in (new format) and the codes were in the text but all the photos were at the bottom and not in the correct order to relate to the code positions. (ie: first code position isn't the first picture shown below)
My post is quite simple but that could be really confusing on a more complex one.
Is this something that will auto-fix when the bugs die or will posters have to go back and edit?

Admin, among other things to check up on, the search function does not seem to be pulling up all relevant threads in response to searches.

Yes, I can alter the screen brightness but that is universal to all screens. My other screens are okay.beeg wrote:Dusty, can you turn the brightness down some on your monitor?dusty wrote:Yes, thank you for leading me to prosilver. This screen is still a little too bright but it is better.
This is not a big issue. It is something with which I can deal.
