New Version of Forum Software Installed
« on: October 15, 2010, 07:40:07 PM »
The new version supposedly solves the problems that people were having with the textbox jumping back to the top in Internet Explorer.

There are some new themes installed, click on Profile and then "Look and Layout", and you can select a different theme if you would like.

There is an adapted theme that I made from a copy of the default theme that has larger font sizes, it's called largefont.

Please post a message in this thread if you find any problems with the new forum.

Thanks,
Karen

As far as I can tell, the v2 is fine.  Thanks.  Some are expressing concerns about "Christmas stuff"?

Also, can you tell me how to make changes in the list of moderators at the top of the page?  I've been through the admin section numerous times attempting to do so, and haven't found it.  Thanks.

Also, 53 members "went away" from the total member #.  Was this an automatic/built-in purging of inactive members within the new version, or something else?  (I've recently been cleaning out old inactive accounts manually, but again, I see 53 more suddenly gone...)

OK, I'll check.  Also, Tony sent me this in my email;

Tell Karen I changed templates and can no longer view the forum.
Going offline for a while now.

Ok, I'm going to remove access to the alternative templates, they will just be a headache that none of us need.

I'm going to force everyone onto the default theme.

Most people were using the default theme anyway.

New Version does the same thing.  For me, it is only IE8 where I have trouble.  Have IE7 at work and no problems.
