New Look of TechSpot

They haven't gone anywhere. Just click on the poster's nickname & you will be taken to his profile. Click on the little ball right next to his name & you will have a drop-down menu with more options including the one to view the user's profile.

It is odd that one can't report his/her own bad post.

If I have made a bad post then as a responsible member I should be able to report it to the moderators to receive my just punishment instead of having to silently edit it afterwards and hope that noone noticed..

RBS, you say "help", did you have a look at my post here regardiing recovering your old Avatar' does it look a load of nonsense, or not, I would appreciate your comments, or are we still not talking?
Could I send the Guinness image via the internal PM method, if so how?, & would it help.
As an afterthought, I guess you've used "Replace Avatar" or does it no longer work?

Trying to help,
Maurice

I'm running in 1280x1024.

Found the problem.

Ok.. here's how this thing is hosing up. I"ve attached 3 pictures to display- first how the search box gets cut off. Then how Display Options appears both on the first rollover, then on the second (where you see the line of the box, but it's drawn God only knows where.

I've figured out though, the proplem relates to the fact that my firefox box isn't maximized to my 1024x768 screen. With Trillian on the right, I have less than full real estate. It turned out that any substantial encroachment on the horizontal space was causing issues, not just one particular example. EDIT: To be clear, with Firefox maximized across the screen and trillian hidden, the issues that I've had do not appear.

This is yet another evil of a statically designed table. Although I'm sure this also has JS/CSS to blame. puke:

Any suggestions?

I still have my old Avatar (and a new, slightly smaller one) on my PC.
There is just not yet the possibility to replace/import your own avatars.
I am sure this hiccup will be resolved some time soon.
Until then I will just sit in my Director's chair.:slurp:
Correction: Julio fixed the problem, Slainte!

I tried the 1280x1024 resolution, but that hurts my eyes. Also such a resolution covers only a partial width of my screen's real-estate, big blue vertical side-ribbons are visible on each side. I don't see any distortions or cut-offs. Perhaps because of the superior drivers of my Matrox G550?
1024x768 on a 19" monitor is much healthier for my eyes, I'll stick with that.
I don't use Trillian or the likes, so I have no issues at all with other programs vying for desktop-space.

Now all we need is to make people read them

Much, much better, thank you for getting rid of the semi-Barbie look

Where is the Mark All As Read option now? That is a must have feature for a forum.

Noticed less comments on news posts, I think I know why.

Before there was a link to post a comment when it had no comments on it, now a link only shows up if someone already posts a comment, then the links shows up with the current number.

I still love the changes to the new site, great job

Doesn't look half bad at all... Will take some time to get used to, but that is the case whenever there's a change...

But one thing that I first thought was gone, and now have found only changed place is the drop-down forum navigation menu at the bottom of the page... It's gone from being under the lower right part of the thread to the lower left, with the permission having moved to where it used to be..

Are there any special reason for this?
It is quite seldom I have the need to check what permission I have, but I do use the drop-down very often, and thus I'd prefer it to be on the right-hand side...

Aside from that I've not found any problems yet (but I'm sure I'll come up with a few suggestion after a while )

Indeed, that was my ignorance of left and right showing through

I meant that it's gone from being on the lower left hand side to the lower right.
Not really a big deal, as I finally found out how to "close" the posting rules.
(But if that'll last I don't know).

BTW: Anyone else having a problem with the forum not remembering your login?
When I use the QuickLogin at the top of the forum frontpage I make sure the "Remember me" is ticked, but I have to log in anew every time I come here.
(Yes, cookies are enabled, using Opera 7.54)

All my browsers remember me, IE6/SP1, Firefox 1.0PR and Opera 7.54

I had that problem right after the change in format, but it seems to have resolved itself now. As far as I know I haven't changed anything, but I'm not having to log in now.
