Great. I just got ****ing used to this new one now you going to mess around with it some more. Buggers.

In this case our hand is being forced. The style we are currently using (Lights Off) hasn't been supported for some time, and is a big part of the reason many little problems have been cropping up (visually). By doing further upgrades to the forum software, it's going to get more & more unstable so we have to go elsewhere. What we're doing is taking the situation & turning it into an opportunity to give the place a makeover. Think of it as the OZgolf Block. ;)

Expect the forum to go down for a period of time very soon, but only for a few hours, to get this upgrade and style change done. I hope to get it done tomorrow night.

AndyP
18th September 2011, 03:06 PM
The upgrade to both the software and the style have been done, without too many problems.

There will still be a few small things to fix up to make it look better, but we'll work on those. If you come across any problems, please let us know.

One of the major changes that I've noticed with the software is the automatic saving of posts while you are typing them. It's handy for those of us that like to type novels.

Horizontal scrolling is back in threads when using lightweight.

Also noticed you can resize it to super small or super big. Probably needs to be locked to the screen width.

I don't mind the new look at all just have to make sure we get all the colours for tags tweaked so they blend into the colour scheme. the NSW 1st tee colour and wanted are the worst so far.

In the "Gamer Green" style the autosizing of the webpage to the screen doesn't appear to be working on my laptop (screen res - 1024 x 768 ). Also the buttons overlap on the top menu bar. POTY/search bar and Quick Links/Advanced Search overlap each other.

Tried the "default" style and it seems fine.

Shaz, I suspect that the menu bar is too wide to shrink that far. You may need to stay on the Default or Mobile style while using such a low resolution.
