Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Posted by Simon Chambers on 16/02/2012 22:34:49: New smilies look rubbish - aren't clear what they are. I thought that at first - then realised that the old smilies are still there! They're lower down in the smilie box! As in - new smilie (yuk!) - old smilie (much better!)

Edited By ken anderson. on 17/02/2012 10:40:31 Hi Ken - had a good look with both my 61 yr old browsers - can't see this 'broken box' thingy anywhere! Can you treat me like a doddery senior citizen and give me precise page/location please. Terry SW France - confused dept! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks Ken. I can see that in Internet Explorer 8, where I don't seem to need to use it, but I can't see the same in Firefox. What I've done for the time being is set up Internet Explorer how I like it, and that will work for the time being. Cumbersome as it is... Cheers Chris PS - Test Link to Greenacres website seems to work fine in IE8 (Wrote the words first, highlighted them, then clicked the button) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken anderson. Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 herllo chris and terry---- the address bar is the long box at the very top of the pc screen.......left side on mine has the words http://www.modelflying.co.uk in.......and at the right side there is 5 icons...... in the middle of the icons is one that looks like a broken box or set of false teeth ....last night when whoever changed the forum settings i couldn't put a pic on from my albums...... and they only way i could get it to work was by hitting the compatiblity button(it was greying out the same as chris describes)...i use win 7 and IE9. ken anderson ne..1 where's the forum advice dept.... chris-the test link works OK....

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi Ken yes you are right, that is helpful in IE9 My problems are with a different internet browser called Firefox. (and another called Google Chrome) Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ken - thanks all understood but no good to me on Firefox. Are we going to get any 'official' advice on where we are with this? It would help as I do not want to keep swapping broswers at my age!

Steve W-O Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'm using Firefox, and I managed to post links to replace the t h i s and to post photos without problem My Firefox was updated this morning, so I have just tried again, and it is displaying what I did Edited By Steve W-O on 17/02/2012 11:49:40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 H'mm ...I'm not as keen on the new format.....but I'm sure I'll get used to it!!! Most irritating thing so far found is that when you insert an emoticon the screen reverts to the top of the page so you have to scroll all the way down to the reply box again.....a bit tedious!!

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Things are getting better for me. Buttons work in Firefox now. I just enabled "spell as you type" and even changed the dictionary from American to British. So I won't be told that "colour" is spelled incorrectly any more Keep up the good work guys. I like it.

Terry Walters Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well just managed to do this so getting there - but its less simple isn't it and the pics are so small - why? And so poor quality when enlarged like this . Surely any changes should be to make the system work better and also to do what the users want?

Terry Walters Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Just discovered the camera icon to use with your album photos! That's more like it!

Tom Wright 2 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Don't like this format at all the old one worked very well. Photos from photo bucket wont enlarge . Inserting emotions takes you to the top of the page. Posting anchored links so far has been impossible can only get a long url. Do we have a tutorial for this new format .I certainly need one as its virtually stopped me posting anything useful. Don't mind the double spacing as it makes long posts easier to read. Tom. it cant even put a emotion in line . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Jones Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well I am pleased to see the spell check as you type (that's the ABC with a tick icon) as the majority of posts I make have to be edited to deal with my typos so that's a for that one. Smiley's or whatever they are called today always have been more than a line deep, though they were centre aligned and it was less noticeable. Double spacing paragraphs, I've always done that anyway. There is no paste from Word option perhaps that isn't an issue any more but if it is then the Word formatting can be easily removed with that blue eraser shaped icon. It doesn't look as nice and doesn't offer underlined text it’s strikethrough instead but all in all I think I just might end up preferring it. (Post was pasted from word) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chambers Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Try selecting the text and pushing Ctrl-U on your keyboard Ctrl-B does the same for bold Ctrl-I does the same for itallic! On chrome and firefox you can install a dictionary to get spell checking in all forms. Very useful if your dyslexic like me and can't spell for toffee!
