FerrariChat.com update - Questions

most likely, if there is a way to host the image here that would be great. maybe there is...

 

We will need to come up with better solution for signature images... host on our site, dimension limits, etc

 

Okay, so I finally am able to check out the site on my laptop. It's much more usable on my laptop than on my phone.

So now I'm wondering, what doesn't it look the same on my phone as it does on my laptop? It did with the old site.

I know a lot of people like a mobile version of websites, but I've never liked them.

 

looking at code on my end, if make your browser window less than 1170px wide then the side bar will be put at bottom.

 

page width of 1170 is odd for desk top, 2000 looks better.. to me anyway.

 

< 1170px is if you want side bar gone, anything over (which is many if not most) will have side bar.

 

I know these are all design quibble issues. The wider page view reduces apparent the padding between posts. Helps streamline the view on desktops, to me at least. With the large screen formats that most of us use the large tracks of land on either side is horrible. The side bar is is very tolerable to massive padding.

 

I'll have to look at options and see if there is a desktop version or not.

But I wanted to at least give my input that it's much friendlier on a computer, and all of my "complaints" were based on mobile.

Interesting. Thanks.

Not sure if it was mentioned in the Bugs thread, but what about multi-quoting? I guess we now just hit reply however many times as I did for this post.

Thanks.

 

Hi,
Just suggestions about initial impressions:
I agree with another comment that I saw that the font is somewhat on the gray side. Total black would be much easier to read.

There is too much white space now. Can each entry be scrunched vertically? Then more entries would could fit on a page and less scrolling would be required to go down the messages.

Regards,

When I post a picture from my pc, it doesn't show up in the post as an embedded picture but rather as a link. I don't want to click on links to see a picture. Can this be changed?

 

Maybe you need to get rid of sig lines. They break up the page way too intrusively. I'm deleting mine for this reason.

 

But how will I know how to feel about lawyers now?

 

I was more referring to Jack's post than yours. Your post, aside from the sensitivity/kid quips, was fine. Jack's response to me was dismissive. That's what I was annoyed about.

I found what I did wrong. I'm in the old view but I didn't see the options for thumbnail or full view when uploading the picture. so I'm good now

 

Just pay attention to our postings. You'll surely hate us soon enough.

 

is it just me or did the layout change? seems to have widened out and the side bars drop to the bottom. I dragged the desktop window to half screen and then when going back to full screen it kept the side bars at the bottom and widened the page.

 

I think multiple clicks is the way to go. should be able to click through pages and text will stay in bottom reply box.

added to list

 

Yes we are looking at having side bar at bottom at the moment

 

what happened to If it ain't broke don't fix it ... I cannot find a way to display newer postings first like on the old VBulletin

 

I think the User Control panel on the old site was better than the new "watched threads" and "watched forums" now being separate pages.

 

narrow page view back... :yuck:

 

I addressed this in the running bug list thread. New software does not support that.
