    How do I change themes on this thing? cool

     

    go to the blue man thingummy in the right hand corner, and click change themes.  There is a light them and a dark theme.  The theme works the same on both forum and store.

    W00t, thanks! No more eye-blasting forumblindness! I owe you a cookie...yes 

    Yea!  No more sunglasses required (literally!).

    I still hate how quoting works, that's the most user-unfriendly process.. click quote, scroll MANUALLY to the bottom and MANUALLY set a break, and type.  I'd fire the UX (user experience) engineer, too many clicks, too much interaction, no good common defaults.. so much fail.  I've canned people for this sort of bs shipping.  LAME!  And I'm on Win8! HATE HATE!

    For Gods sake I'm not an interaction designer and I know better!!! Angry face!!!

    Nothing I can do but gripe.. feh.  And no FEH emote.  So much fail...

    Arghhh... I was so happy that I could switch Theme to blissfully dark mode but discovered to my dismay that it doesn't hold. crying After restarting Explorer11 and returning to DAZ forums, all my pages are blinding white again.  Bah, humbug! angry

    The reason why KK's signature doesn't show is because KK has managed to put the image as raw base-64 rather than as a link to it. How about this, KK -- attach the image if you reply to me, and then copy the right link off the image after posting it?

    Where are my little green boxes?

     

    I had more posts when I went to bed.  Got up and I've been marked down to 2600.  Posted once and my total went to 2599.  It may be a long time before I post again.

    ...that's right, those are gone too.  Yeah I was somewhere around 17,000 posts last I remember..

    The formatting is just sloppy.  Stuff runs together, banners exceed the width of the right margin, signatures are often indistinguishable from the main post body unless the post is long enough to push it below the avatar/info block on the left. 

    Still can't get my flutterbys to show in my sig even though they are there in the signature edit window in my profile settings.

    What's worse is the way embedding images now works. (or doesn't)  Using the attach a file you only get a small thumbnail instead of a reasonably viewable image. This is going to hurt min-tutorial posts as one will need to toggle back and forth between the expanded image and the associated text.  The only way around would be to submit the image(s) to some gallery site then call it in form the URL via the "Image" button.  Rather clumsy option, and if for some reaoson that site goes down or is closed, the images will disappear from the post.

    Copying and pasting are clunky as well as you have to click several times to paste something into a post instead of just once.  The SCAYT option has to be reset every post as well which is another bother (sometimes I also have to reset the language too).

    Another thing I don't like is no BBS format. Everything is now HTML (which requires actual programming savvy to use).

    As I have said before, any update to a forum should only be done to improve the "user experience", this one definitely doesn't.

    What would you put in a post that requires BBCode?  The editor has bold, italics, strike through, numbered and non-numbered lists, indenting, even a link button, an image button, a special character button, smilies button, paste from text, paste from Word.  You couldn't do as much with BBCode as you can with this.  You can even specify whether a link opens in the current window or opens a new window.

    As for your "Flutterbys", maybe you need to put images on top, then text underneath...it's worth a look.  I don't know about you, but it seems pretty complete to me.  Spell checker works in Firefox (not Firefox checker, the editor SCAYT checker.  And you can add a word to the dictionary...I just added smilies!

    And it's WYSIWYG.  No need to preview before posting.

    Dana you can possibly use a transparent image as an avi ?

    ...well you no longer have tags that can be edited as in the previous forum. I could change text attributes like size and colour to get ones not shown in the selections offered .  No longer can that be done.

    As I've mentioned it is a real bother to have to keep turning the SCAYT checker on every time you post.  In the previous forums, the FF spell checker was always running. Having to do more clicking to get something done than was required previously is not an "improvement" but a step backwards in user efficiency (which I why I dislike the versions of MS Office after Office2003)

    Well, the formatting options seem to be enough. there is a good selection of colors for the font and for the background.  As far as the font size, that's not so easy I guess.  But between the paragraph styles:

    Heading 1,

    Heading 2,

    Heading 3,

    formatted (what does that actually mean in this instance?),

    and the other styles called "Styles":

    inserted text (really is an odd thing to call it...I guess these are just styles like in Word),

    Big and Small, there seems to be enough for just a darn forum post.

    A nice thing I like is that I can double-click a word or phrase, and apply mutliple formats to the selection without having to select it again and again.

    Like this!  I highlighted the text, then clicked the Bold button, then the Italics button, then selected "Inserted text" from the Styles drop-down.  I didn't have to hightlight it before each formatting application.

    Hopefully, they will see the post that show them how to keep the editor from disabling the browser's spell checker.  It looks like it's a fairly trivial thing to do.

    Do as Skiriki suggested, put the image in a post in this thread.  Then right-click, select copy image location, then use that as the link in your profile.  If the forum goes down, then it doesn't really matter because you won't have any posts visible anyway.  laugh

    They still do if you have a wired phone.  I have one wired phone on each level of my home. That way, if the power does go out, I can still make or receive phone calls if I really need to.

    I didn't like the popups - reminded me of invasive adverts. BTW Cho can you point me to a thread on how to embed images in the text? Preferably step by step. When I went to the manual for the new text engine, it shows me items on the menu for images that I don't have. Thanks. smiley
