Forum Update - Information Here

[andviv]

I believe it's the default VbBulletin icon Andviv - probably just hasn't had time (or forgot?) to change it yet.

ahhh, good to know. Thx.

the favicon.ico that shows up now is less enticing than the one with the dollar sign,

The old favico was overwritten w/the default vb icon when I updated the files. Thanks for the observation, I didn't even notice. I switched it back.

Hit

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/favicon.ico

and refresh to change yours.

Is there a way to make the reply box bigger?

I made it bigger, but I can't get it full width due to the smileys. That fix requires a cumbersome hack that would be overwritten on every single update.

Any chance you could make the logo at the top, link to the home page, instead of clicking the 'Forum'

Done.

Maybe this can help with the smilies and reply box size:::
Move smilies to below text area (and optionally add to Quick Reply)

It's from Lynne, so the mod is good.
So far, it hasn't "reverted" with vB updates.

Hope that helps!

I already tried to install that ... it didn't work.

Ahh.... back to the drawing board.
Will update if anything comes to mind!

The link i used to hit all the time was "View Speed rep" because it took you to the user CP page that showed all your subscribed threads with new posts and you could access anything else in there. I dont know if it was even in the second version of the site. I may be the only one that uses it, but if I am not it would be cool to see up at the top.

Scratch that, i just realized "Settings" goes to the same page.

Although while i was reading i remembered the other thing. On the old forum you somehow hid news results in the "new posts" feed. That was nice getting straight to the members content without 5 pages of news from all over the place.

That is fixed. News is excluded from "new posts"

Awesome! Your changes are well appreciated!

*edit - this sentence either doesn't make sense or isn't grammatically correct, but i'll leave it here anyway.

You're welcome.

Finally got the FB Connect feature working and added some blog categories since we have some folks blogging.

Not sure if you're ready for feedback on minor issues, but here's one if you are:

On the iPhone you have to click links twice before they load, buttons work fine with just one click though (weird, huh?).

Finally figured out what makes the listing so hard to read, there is no contrasting font sizes. This helps it be a lot more readable, the threads themselves could probably use some tuning too. This may not be a problem for most, but its why i dont browse much anymore.

this change is from line 176 of your css file ( changed 12 to 9px)
.threadbit .threadmeta {
font-size:9px;
}
