Post by: CaptK on May 01, 2016, 10:18:58 AM
Here's a thread for any comments regarding your input, thoughts, or issues with the newest software upgrade.

And here's to hoping there are none of the "issues" types of posts! :) Of course, if there are - we'll get to them ASAP.

Enjoy! :D

Looks kind of fancy, with a splash of additional color. 

I personally like the low overhead site, and this upgrade is consistent with that.  There are some websites that cause my browser to crawl or crash (excessive javascript from excessive marketing), and this is far from that.

Thanks for making it work!

Really like it.  Changes are not so extreme that it would require a long getting familiar with period for we old folks.  Has a nice look.  THANKS

one thing that is missing is the "New" button.  Instead, for me, it shows an empty missing graphic: (http://cpyoa.geekworkshosting.com/forum/Themes/default/images/english-utf8/new.gif)

The link is http://cpyoa.geekworkshosting.com/forum/Themes/default/images/english-utf8/new.gif which goes to a 404 Not Found page.

It kind of threw me off, since I normally click the "New" button to skip over previously read messages, and being a "broken" image, I haven't been clicking on it, although it does still work like normal.

It may be  that your browser is trying to load that from cache (history), and if so , it should clear up on its own for you.

Mine looks like this - are those the "New" buttons you are referring to?

I wish that when viewing a post, the most recent comment would be at the top instead of the bottom.
Is it possible to reverse and be new to old instead of old to new?
Is it just me?
Just thinking.....

Kurt-Thank you for getting the software issues fixed!!!

Fried Fish,

To get the most recent posts at the top, Click Profile, then account related settings.

You'll see a modify profile link in orange.  Click on this, then click "look and layout preferences".
You'll see an item that says "Show most recent posts at the top".  Click the checkbox, then click change profile at the bottom right.  Done.

I don't think it's part of the cache.  Here is a screenshot showing the "missing" button:

Just as an FYI, I have the same issue (using Safari).  Cleared the cache/history/cookies and it still does it.  Not really a problem per se, as the "fake question mark button" still works as intended, but it is a shame when you made the rest of the site nicer (thanks for that, by the way).
