Old forum was better

Can you let me know what browser you are using and the steps you go through to see the emoticons in a single column like this please. If I can replicate we can fix.

FWIW I've just got rid of the emoticon box by switching to the Basic Editor in General Settings (I got used to using the Smiley mnemonics ages ago, so don't miss the icons).

That's good. But what browser are you using? Please let me know so we can look at the problem and fix for other users.

I agree. Why the padding in top of the screen, my post starts half down. If it works don't fix it.

Yup, admin fail again. I did not do my usual robust testing as thought you lot would be up-to-date, did not consider how many of you would be accessing through antiquated browsers on clients' sites where there is resistance to upgrades.

I did check the forum on FF and IE here but did not go back 2 versions to the 9 year old crock. Should have consulted the stats to make sure we were compatible with the systems being used to access us.

I did also ask for end user testing and had a lot of feedback but none from anyone using IE6. We will get the problems sorted I am sure, will just take a bit of time.

WHS, there needs to be a B+W, as bland as possible, turn off icons, avatars the lot option !!

HTH

I spent 5 minutes this morning changing the settings and it looks pretty much the same as the old one now

Me too, these filter rules make it a little more work safe, like it overall though

forums.contractoruk.com##DIV.textcontrols
forums.contractoruk.com##H2.title.icon
forums.contractoruk.com##TD.tcat
forums.contractoruk.com##TD[width="170"]

That last one looks a little suss though, can see that one back firing at some point.

How do I do this please? Just went to General Settings and it only gave me options re: my own privacy etc.

Yeah, use a browser and OS used by 0.0000001% of corporate clients out there.

Idiots.
