The forums have suddenly got nice and legible.
Thanks.

 

What's the difference between NEW POSTS and RECENT POSTS? Which one corresponds to the old LATEST ACTIVITY?

 

New: to be read by you yet.

Recent: all, includes those alteady read by you.

 

As someone mentioned before, there's too much white space. It's like reading a newspaper in bright sunlight and I'm concerned that all the brightness may burn the screen on my monitor.

 

@Glenn Holland If you are using a CRT monitor relax, phosphor aging is not a problem these days. If you are using an LCD bleaching of the filters has even less of an effect.

 

While I agree there is still a little too much white space on pages for individual threads, overall there has been a great improvement compared to the last time I complained. At that time, I had done a comparison with EEVBlog, which seems very compact, except for all the advertising. If one scrolled to get rid of the ads, the content per page far exceeded AAC. Today that is quite different:


At 90%, I still need my +2.00 readers, but I am getting used to them.

 

All of the changes are certainly taking a lot of getting used to. But the new listing of threads and only showing a very few is unfortunate, since sometimes I miss days, not just a few minutes. And there are a few threads where it would be better to just point the starter to a good book on the very basic circuit theory. It is one thing to have questions but quite another to argue based no not even having a clue.

"Few" and "Many" are relative. Your data? Your standard/criteria?

The current display of the last five is way few, a listing without a preview pane can provide many more in the same space. It is simple enough to click on a thread and be able to see if it is something that I can offer anything useful. And before we could see how many had viewed and how many had commented. That was a very handy bit of data, I think.
And I still claim that on a world-wide basis, at best only half of all changes are improvements.

 

@jrap

Any idea as to when blog attachments (i.e. uploads) will be restored? -- As stated earlier, I'm in no great hurry - I merely wish to 'coordinate' my 'on-line time' scedule

Many sincere thanks for all you're doing!

I kinda miss the members-on-line list.

Hello,

@MaxHeadRoom , Here is a direct link for members online:

That is not intuitive, but effective. Maybe some kind of direct link that new users can find would be helpful to some.

I don't see the direct link for that list?

Clicking the direct link provided by bertus worked for me. If your browser has disabled the ability to click links in posts, then copy the link text to your browser address box.

I agree with Dick that adding a button with that shortcut link would be nice.

 

Hello,

There is no direct way.
I use the orange theme and in there you use the following:

That's why, I use the blue legacy version.

There has always been a direct link in the menu:

On the Blue theme you can click the "Forums" menu and then select the drop down button on the Members tab (circled in red) to get the Current visitors link.
