Way2Go Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Well I don't like it at all.Font is far too small (don't see why I shold play with the zoom just for this web site) and there's lots of dead space around. Don't like the silly graphics and don't understand why my default colour is light grey when most other people's seems to be black?It also doesn't seem to like IE9 as I can see what I've typed in 'preview' but when I then hit 'submit' nothing happens . . . . but after 4 attempts it does but as you can see the delete button doesn't work!!!!On the whole - unpleasant to use as you can see from the very little that I now post.W2G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brambles Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Just trying something here to see if mine has changed to grey. edit - Waytogo, go into your control panel and under your profile have you selected Rich text edit. If not change it to yes, and then make a post and change the colour to black. Then go back the control panel and change back to Rich Text edit off. If you already have Rich Text edit on then just use the menu when composing a post to change the colour to what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way2Go Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 . . . . . and turned rich text off again. Thanks for that. Now can you fix the layout of the web site B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way2Go Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 The other bizare thing I've noticed is that if I choose 'preview' it shows me what I've typed. If I then add something else neither the 'submit' or 'preview' buttons work!! All I can do is copy the whole ramblings (with additions) then hit the 'back' button then paste it into the box again - rediculous. I don't know whether its the web site or an IE9 issue although it only seems to be this web site that I have problems with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Might be an IE9 issue or yoru computer, works for me. Well actually I don't know, just away to test now by previewing to make sure. Add a bit - well that works. Now to submit. ( are you sure you are scrolling down the screen properly to the edit window below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way2Go Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 er . . . . yeeeeees . . . . . . . . There's only one submit and one preview button. Once I've used the preview button neiher button works unless I hit 'back'. Well, I'm not having that so I'll just lurk instead and not post anything >:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 All I can suggest is it is your computer is far too slow (or internet connection) and is taking ages to load the webpage and enable the buttons. You also need make sure yor computer is not cluttered up with loads if cookies, malware and other memory hungry things. All slows you down and prevents things running properly. But for me the buttons work fine so not a lot I can suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 It was reported by me a week or two ago that there was a long pause between pressing submit and the posting appearing, this was acknowledged by Daniel (Editor). W2G - I think the issue may well be to do with IE9 as I use Firefox and have also tried IE8 without a problem. Has anyone else noticed how quiet the forum is since the change to the new format .... :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also need make sure yor computer is not cluttered up with loads if cookies, malware and other memory hungry things. All slows you down and prevents things running properly. Please don't take this the wrong way, and I know you're only trying to help, but I know how to use a PC. I've got over 25 years of commercial computing experience and have been a computer consultant for the last 15 years. I've also built several web sites for fun. My new PC is only 3 months old and is of a very high spec running Windows 7 (64-bit) operating system and is using quad core processors and 4MB of memory. I not only know how to use a PC but my job has involved running courses and training people in using PCs so I think I'm qualified to know when a button doesn't work! As I say, I know you're only trying to help and I appreciate your responses. Since the new web site layout went live I think I've only posted once or twice so the issue hasn't arisen before. I wasn't sure whether it was the web site or an issue with the new version of IE9 which I recently installed. I'm glad the buttons are working for you. Mel - appreciate your comments.

Update . . . . Just uninstalled IE9 (back to IE8) and the buttons are working as they should. So that's resolved that issue in that the buttons on the new web site layout don't work correctly with IE9 . . . . well the submit and preview ones anyway.

Robinhood Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I had already noticed the "preview" issue, amongst others. Running the site in "compatibility mode" under IE9 appears to overcome this. (This text was added after using preview for the above) HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
