Pete B Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I've just found that the reply box now takes the format recently introduced when using the PM section. It's rather unwieldy as it won't take mouse commands for cut/paste etc - you have to use the keyboard. I could tolerate that with PM's but it's a darn nuisance for normal posts. At a stroke we seem to have lost the 'quote' function, which is a real pain The whole appearance of this facility looks as if it was designed back in the days of Windows 95......if we can't get any better than this can we have the old one back, please? Yours disgruntledly, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Whisky Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I've tried several times today to post photos from my albums into a thread, but as soon as I click the Image icon button in the reply box headers the screen instantly greys out like a white fog and nothing happens. I have posted photos many times before using Mozilla Firefox as my standard browser, so what's happening?

Pete B Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I think it's all going pear-shaped, RW. I've just had a gripe about the new reply format and have just tried to post a piccie as a test. The piccie has appeared, it seems, but what is the Latin text in the insertion box all about? Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Maecenas feugiat consequat diam. Maecenas metus. Vivamus diam purus, cursus a, commodo non, facilisis vitae, nulla. Aenean dictum lacinia tortor. Nunc iaculis, nibh non iaculis aliquam, orci felis euismod neque, sed ornare massa mauris sed velit. Nulla pretium mi et risus. Fusce mi pede, tempor id, cursus ac, ullamcorper nec, enim. Sed tortor. Curabitur molestie. Duis velit augue, condimentum at, ultrices a, luctus ut, orci. Donec pellentesque egestas eros. Integer cursus, augue in cursus faucibus, eros pede bibendum sem, in tempus tellus justo quis ligula. Etiam eget tortor. Vestibulum rutrum, est ut placerat elementum, lectus nisl aliquam velit, tempor aliquam eros nunc nonummy metus. In ers metus gravida a, gravida sed, lobortis id, turpis. Ut ultrices, ipsum at venenatis fringilla, sem nulla lacinia tellus, eget aliquet turpis mauris non enim. Nam turpis. Suspendisse lacinia. Curabitur ac tortor ut ipsum egestas elementum. Nunc imperdiet gravida mauris.

David Ashby - Moderator Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yes, our people have made a change to overcome the compatibility problems with IE9 Pete but, as you say, looks like a few compromises have gone in as well. I've asked them what they're going to do about it......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark R Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Love the translation of latin to english Lorem itself pain he is amet consectetuer to come up to elit. Maecenas feugiat according to reason diam. Maecenas fear. Vivamus diam spotless , a race a , to make fit not , easy life nulla. Eneus word lacinia tortor. Now a thrower nibh not a thrower some orci lucky euismod worthless , but ornare massa mauris but skirmish. Nulla price mi and laughter. Fusce mi pede , transitory this , a race and ullamcorper and not , in fact. But tortor. Curabitur annoyance. Duis skirmish augue condimentum but , avenging a , lamentation when orci. Up to the time when pellentesque to extreme poverty eros. Whole a race augue upon a race faucibus eros pede bibendum prefix meaning half- , upon time region equity anyone ligula. As yet eget tortor. Vestibulum rutrum , is when to please first principle , bed nisl some skirmish , transitory some eros now ninth fear. Upon ers fear pregnant a , pregnant but lobortis this , unseemly.

Pete B Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 A couple of observations off the top of my head: The picture insert box shows the preview below the list boxes, rather than alongside. This means having to go to full page to see it or you have to scroll the reduced box to see which you have selected. Backward step and very inconvenient. Inserting a picture from an album file produces liittle better than a thumbnail, blurred at that. The only way to view it properly is to click on it which involves going backwards and forwards to read a post and look at the pics properly. Very inconvenient. Posting a pic from Photobucket inserts a much larger, full definition image. For an example of both types in the same post, see here. Pete I've also noticed that it has compressed the Photobucket pic laterally and cannot be expanded to correct proportions.

Martyn K Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Intriguingly, the inserted images are now blurred, whereas the fullsize linked images are sharp. The rendering engine needs a service (perhaps new spark plugs ) Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn Johnston Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I do quite a lot of posting in works time (when nobody's watching !). As you're doing some changes, would this be a good time to ask if it would be possibly for you to ask your web-designer techy blokes to remove the display of the 'time' of each post. Displaying the 'date' is OK, but the 'time' could be incriminating. I've seen other places where they display the time if the post was withing the last 24 hours; but only the date if it is older than that. That seems quite sensible. That way I could ask some of my colleagues to go and read my build-log without dropping myself in it . Just a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn K Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Testing from Chrome on Win XP. All buttons visible, but Insert image still generates lots of latinish that I can't seem to delete. However, the rubbish doesn't appear when the image gets posted. New smilies are more modern as well Formatting works OK but no text colour options. What happens with links now - do they work properly? testing http://www.czd.org.uk/aeromodel/kwik-fli3/kwik-fly3.jpg and a real link http://www.czd.org.uk/aeromodel/kwik-fli3/kwik-fly3.jpg Regards Martyn Edited By Martyn K on 16/02/2012 15:48:41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
