Site's New Look.

[PRESS]

Hi Guys

I love the new look of this site. Weldone to everyone who contributed to this mavelours work.

I am Sure Most of you agree with me that this new look is beautiful.

[paul_h]

Hate it. I was never a fan of the green fridgey guy (shown on the right of this forum), but never said anything about it before.
But now it's joined by some bearded guy in the blue shirt on the left kissing the forums like some kind on homo erotic thing, and the forum in just grey, grey, grey.
:'(

[tonto33]

must agree with paul its bit ott on the grey

[r.bartlett]

Of course it may be the newness but it doesn't seem as user friendly as before. I think it may prove to be less of a hit as hoped..

[paul_h]

[Gary]

I don't much care about looks, I'm more into how it works.

So far it seems more difficult to navigate. Maybe I'll get used to it.

[WebRam]

still working on it Gary, a few more things to add

[WebRam]

for those looking for more than "posts since last visit"

I have added

under "quick links"

"todays posts"
"Threads with no repies"
"posts from a week before"
"posts from a month before"

You can also click, "whats new?" to see the latest

hope this helps

[WebRam]

Also, members should look around the FAQ located here http://www.refrigeration-engineer.co...=vb3_board_faq

(yea, I know, it goes against the grain to read the instructions )

[Bigfreeze]

Of course it may be the newness but it doesn't seem as user friendly as before. I think it may prove to be less of a hit as hoped..

Gotta agree. Preferred the old look and was certainly much easier to navigate. It is what it is now though

[Gary]

Things change and we adapt... such is life.

[mikeref]

Yep, feeling a little boxed in here. Something like driving on the open road then placed into city traffic and in the wrong lane at night, not sure if i can get used to this format! Where have the icons gone? Sorry Webram, i'm not a city person. I like the open spaces.. Mike.

[mouse]

The new look work very very slowly.
Previous version work fast,why you change it ?

[NH3LVR]

I would like to see the home countries displayed like they were until a few weeks ago. Not a necessity, but pleasant to know without going to their profile.

[Goober]

Waaaaa! WTF!!!! Site has changed!!! What about us O.C.D. people, we don't like change! I haven't stopped counting over and over the 1" square tiles in my Bathroom since the change.......five thousand four hundread and sixty three of them, plus the cracked one at the bottom of the vanity....I'm off to my therapist...to talk about it......if I can tear myself away from the counting...3657, 3658, 3659.......

Hey Guys!

Like Gary says we are all going to adapt. The Web Ram is still adding some more features for us to love the site. I cherish the idea of change at least it shows some level of being dynamic.

[hyperion]

Guess it will take a while to get used to. It does not seem quite as easy to navigate, but hey ho!

[Sandro Baptista]

With the last modifications on the colors and when the today posts + the other new features appear again on the quick links it will be very nice for me.
The rest is only a question of adaptation to the new web page with improvements. In a few day we will not remember the previous version since this will be better.

[El Padre]

Some say a change is as good as a rest, but also say if it aint broke! Still a great site, I think that it will be an improvement it just might take a few of us a couple of years to get used to it.

Cheers

[Tayters]

But now it's joined by some bearded guy in the blue shirt on the left ...

The bearded guy looks very similar to a young Gary as pictured on the TECH Method book. I suspect some kind of Derren Brown subliminal message going on there.

Andy.

[Magoo]

Goober go and sniff some ammonia, like I told you before. It will clear you sensors. [ I know a good tyler to repair the cracked one ]. And stop beating the 11111 key on the mobile phone.
Mikeref, you definitely have a future as a shrink. How did you fare with the big blow and water.

[Gary]

The bearded guy looks very similar to a young Gary as pictured on the TECH Method book. I suspect some kind of Derren Brown subliminal message going on there.

Andy.

It's a "Portrait of Dorian Gray" thing, only in reverse. The picture keeps getting better looking, while I keep getting uglier.

[lowcool]

if this is evolution i think it would be better left with darwin

[lowcool]

heres another one,i posted in do you have problems using this message board or whatever title it is.highlighted my name and it tells me im offline,but here i am.also not having the inclination to check out the forum everyday it was good to see when i was online at the last session.lost in virtual space i am

[lowcool]

last post here also says im offline

give me darwin anyday

[mikeref]

Lowcool, have you got the colour or the plain jane version like me.

[Fri3Oil System]

It's a "Portrait of Dorian Gray" thing, only in reverse. The picture keeps getting better looking, while I keep getting uglier.

I have a picture at home that keeps showing my former beauty... but my face shows all the parties/beers/women/etc... I used to say I am the portrait, and my picture is Dorian Gray's face...
The new site looks much better and complete. I just think it will take us some time to get used to it, like with all changes. Regarding the navigation, let's give them some time to fix everything.

Regards,

Nando.

gday mike
grey white blue,can hardly read whats written on the home page due to shoddy background colour.still takes a bit to find just the right spot to enter user name

[mikeref]

lowcool, in that case i don't mind the all white background. Used to like the icons but many have faded away... Opps, they're back!! .

[brian_chapin]

Hate it. I was never a fan of the green fridgey guy (shown on the right of this forum), but never said anything about it before.

Funny. I always referred to it as the "Gay Fridge Elf" and am not much of a fan either.

If you go into your 'Profile' there is a button, top right, where you can 'customise my profile'
Here, you can change the colours for the background, text, etc.

[lawrence1]

Frank hi,
Why has member location been deleted ??
Lawrie

[monkeynuts]

There is no option to customise there:

[frank]

[Quality]

Back to normal I think. Would not say its any better to use but thats forums

[frank]

Frank hi,
Why has member location been deleted ??
Lawrie

It's a security thing. As you may have noticed, we have been inundated by spammers, so the Boss is working on a fix at present to try and stop future spamming. The location thing is central to keeping them out.
I'm hopeful it will be re-instated at a later date.

[mikeref]

Strange thing to see is when i use firefox, the page is white with black text and some blue titles, but change to Chrome and it's all there. just wonder if anyone else has similar issue?

[Brian_UK]

What version Firefox are you using Mike? I'm on 3.6.13 and all seems fine.

[mikeref]

Hi Brian, Lets see... 3.5.16. Maybe i should look into upgrade. Thanks for reply.

[lawrence1]

Mike,hows it up there?

[mikeref]

Hi Lawrie, just cruising through the days. Upgraded browser to 3.6.13, same version as Brians, but it made no change to the way these pages are displayed. There is a young computer whizz i'll catch up with one day who can sort out small issues like this.

[nike123]

@Mikeref
In Firefox, go to Vew=>Page Style=> and check that "Basic Page Style" is selected.

[nike123]

Is RE going to have Croatian version?

[mikeref]

@Mikeref
In Firefox, go to Vew=>Page Style=> and check that "Basic Page Style" is selected.

Hi nike123, had a look and i'm on basic page style. Thanks for your interest.. Mike.

[WebRam]

Hi Mike, just loaded all three browsers, firefox, chrome and explorer and see attached. Other than some style differences they are all the same. Only difference I have is that firefox is far faster.

regards,

[mikeref]

Thanks boss. I see on thoes examples that location appears, then between "blog this post" and "reply". there are symbols but not to worry, i run the mouse over that line to find them. Cheers, Mike.
