For the skins where the text runs off the page... decrease the font size in your browser....

For the skins where you have everything on one age and borders but to small of a font... to read... increase your browser font....

Works for me.....

Man i was just getting used to the place and then bang... a whole new deal.... now we're all newbies of a sort....

The brown skin seems to be workng best for my eyes.....

Did anyone know that this change was happening? I logged on and was blown away by the new look. I have been online for only a few mins and I already hate it.

There was an announcement of server upgrade, but I don't remember an announcement about ugrading to a newer VB setup.

According to the latest update from Manu, they're trying to find a skin that is closer to the old Lit than the ones that exist now.

As for the scrolling, fixed chocolate also doesn't make you have to scroll to the side due to locations, but I hate that it's so damned narrow.

JR, I assumed that the option to turn off AVs &/or siggys still existed. Is it not there anymore?

 

[Guest]

The new look, and feel, and additional options are fresh and invigorating.

I like "Skynet - Liquid" skin, and as for adjusting font sizes, don't forget you also have that option in your browser settings.

Nice job, Manu!

 

[yui]

Yeah, it is taking a little to get used to it. On the other hand it's better than my monitor in work. (Green.)

Chu Chu is kiss kiss? I like that.

I'll still hold and protect you from the board if you need me to.

Green?

Yep, it appears I'll be saying "kiss, kiss" forever.

My hero...thank you!

For those who are a trifle hard of seeing, you might try the Bluesaint 3 skin. By the by, this is the new Georgia font.

I am using that one with largest text size setting in my browser, I can almost red stuff. Who are all the new posters, did they come with the new skins?

Thanks Min

I guess I'll just wait and hope we get a skin similiar to the old lit if not I'll just try to adjust.

Yeah, I had the same problem and I think I have readeble now. BTW, I can before the new skins. I can't get used to this yet.

It would be nice if there was one more option similar to the old look, this really does hurt my eyes. I don't want to change my screen resolution for one site, but I may have to, my eyes can't handle this and its largest text size.

Oooh well I recognise all this, it is the basic version of what my hubby uses for my bulletin boards but my husband customises his alot.

So what questions do we have? you can edit most stuff in User CP.

To see your buddy list you need to go to quick links in the user CP and launch buddy list, it comes up in a seperate window and you just tick a box and select to send a PM I think it may make a noise if someone comes online (not 100% sure though)

I cant see an option to edit title, but I would assume it will come under edit profile once Manu has fiddled with the settings, he's not added an option to change it right now it seems, if it doesn't turn up soon someone should PM him *L*

If you get weird rrors like sig too big, it'll bebecause it's set to the lower default, I imagine itwill be something manu is working on (there is a site announcement saying he's working on stuff)

I'm quite happy with this, though as I say I'm pretty familiar with the set up

Any questions? I might be able to help with what is where....maybe....*LOL*

EL....I swear if you can take care of my problem I'll erect a monument at your effigy

I've messed up, deleted my AV and now I can't get it back up....it's like if I hadn't 100 posts..no options to download a new one...something I'm not doing right or what?

 

[dr_mabeuse]

PM from a post

Hey, if you click on a poster's name, you can PM them from the drop-down box.

That's a relief. Sort of.

[yourdestonie]

I think its great that we're undregoing change.

 

[sphynx's dragon]

i like the new look! ...but...where are my posts? admittedly i don't have a lot but out of 7 only one still exsists! <sigh> oh well...

Yeah, my eyes hurt too. I'm going through each of the skins trying to find one that might suit me and my eyes. *sigh* I'm trying to adapt really.

Anybody seen a 'Search' facility anywhere. It's not where I left it . . .

The search feature is currently disabled on individual posters, so it might temporarily not an option on the threads either, maybe?

 

[English Lady]

'twas up in the top bar last i looked, it must be being worked on

 

[Liar]

Beginning to make peace with the new style now. I'm running Aria Citrus Liquid. It has no side scroll problem, and it is quite nice on the eye.

The small font size and the huge, unnessecary space and graphics between evey post is still a beeyotch though.

And those guys look silly:

But from what I can see, it seems like different skins shows diffeent smileys. No?

EL, Search is there, it's just not working.

You know what I don't get? Why the font is so tiny, yet because there is so much white space, everything seems to take up more space, and be more spaced out.

I have ADHD- and I have a really hard time w/ change- especially this drastic. It's bad to the point that I'm even mad at the people who aren't mad about this awful change, or who actually like it.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

S & P,

Give Bluesaint a try. The font is much larger and, to me, easier to read.

Does anyone know what the difference is between skins that are fixed and those that are liquid?

[Black Tulip]

I like it.
All new possibilities. I've been fiddling all afternoon.

Just take some time to find your way around and try out all skins.
I have picked the Skynet so the AV's are still on the side. LOL

I am still wondering where Manu got hold of my age though, I don't recall ever putting in my birthday.

 

[Liar]

It's the width of the table which contains the posts. One follows your browser window, the other has a permanent width. If you run the browser maximised anf your screen has the same width as the table (800 pixels, I think), then you won't see any difference.

That explains why there was no difference between the two on my 'puter. Bless you, Liar. I don't care what everybody around here keeps saying about you, I think you're a real, well, Liar.
