OK Guys, regarding the
blog we will be fixing the bugs that we all found.
1. we're going to add the threaded view to
the (recent) links so that you know what the reply was to.
2. For the inbox, we're going to put a few
spaces at the beginning, and a line to separate the question from
the response. Kind of like how MS Outlook works.
3. Also for inbox we'll make it where the
unread messages are a different color so that they stand out.
4. Currently let's say you are in Market
analysis but you post a reply and place it in Off Topic, you will
not see your new post because it is in Off Topic but you are still
in Market Analysis Forum. There was some confusion today
about this because members would post a message and then not see
it. We'll set it to where it takes you to the Forum that you
posted the message to.
5. We have a bug to fix on the search By
Member. It adds a space and that needs to be deleted out.
6. We plan to add a view at the top where
you can choose how many topics to display on the page. Also
we plan to add a Font Size display at the top.
7. I will probably play around with
formating/styles and colors still I might try a slightly
lighter shade of gray, etc.

#2 - Done
#3 - Done, i have a feeling though that people won't like the
colors. The designer should be looking at this soon and we should
have something in keeping with the professionalism of the rest of
the site.
Hey James, please fix how it looks in IE, it's formated fine for
Firefox, but in IE the date/time is not on the right hand side like
it should be, it's on the left. thanks

Blog bugs; #4 has been
fixed! therefore now whenever you click on the (Recent)

there was a toggle, but now just click on the title.

#7- We will also have a look at one shade lighter
gray for the back ground which will help with contrast and for you
older folk

If you are on the recent view, clicking the title of any post
will take you to that post's parent page and scroll down to the
relevant comment. This should make everything MUCH more intuitive.
Just remember, when in doubt click the title.
I can make these default to opening in a new tab if you guys
think that's the best way to do it, or you can just hold down ctrl
or use your middle mouse button to force the link to open in a new
tab.
Matt: When considering a font color please realize
that some of us older readers experience eye strain when reading
light gray fonts. We need the sharp contrast of black on
white.
Blog Fixes - we'll work on fixing these tonight

Something else to look at:

Something else to look at: My inbox indicator continues to show how many new messages I have even though I've already opened them.

My old eyes would like to see a larger font for the time signatures on the messages and the posters. Thanks.
font size

Hit Ctrl+ or Ctrl- in IE
yep
Posted by James_Roe on 27th of Jul 2009 at 06:53 pm
hold ctrl and scroll your mouse wheel or pick a number 1 - 9, 0 and ctrl will reset your font to default.
Pretty sure this works with all modern browsers.
