NCE über alles!
kbkchoochand backround & font color choices are gone too.
I noticed that right off! That well and truly sucks. I can still use BBCode to change font colors though.
I'll complain if necessary, but for now I think I like the look, seems to have good functionality, and the popup banner is GONE! High five. Oh, and the old MSN smileys are still here? Rock on.
Ooh. No preview. Put that on the list.

BUT, is it my imagination or has the Search Function actually improved ?????
And, most importantly, we still have a forum. Thank you Kalmbach. I think.
......and I've managed to insert a photo.
Cheers, the Bear.

HECK !!!!!!!!!!!!!! No speel chekk, no font colours, or highlighting, no direct link to the last post, and while I've managed to change font size I appear to be stuck in BOLD.!!! (Probably finger trouble on my part). BUT, is it my imagination or has the Search Function actually improved ????? And, most importantly, we still have a forum. Thank you Kalmbach. I think. ......and I've managed to insert a photo. Cheers, the Bear.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS NO SPELL CHECK??? Are you on the same forum as me??? I HATE THE SPELL CHECK, IT NOT ONLY DOESN'T WORK, IT MAKES CORRECT WORDS A BUNCH O LETTERS THAT DON'T FORM WORDS!!! I have a quote I heard on the news that they used to describe the Obama care website, "I would call this a train wreck but that would be unfair to the train wreck!" It is my new favorite quote
Kyle It seems like the larger post run off the screen, I can't see the text on the right side, only the left one. Iabsolutely hate the spell check, it seems like it is to make nonsense words, and put several words together. . Did I mention I HATE THE SPELL CHECK, IT DOESN'T WORK!!!

Where IS the spell check on here???
I have had trouble with the old spell check for a while, but DO NOT SEE IT here?
The "preview post" shows up with a "group not found " answer...I thought maybe the spell check was there????

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
KyleWHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS NO SPELL CHECK??? Are you on the same forum as me???
Gidday Kyle, I think I must be, otherwise how did you quote me??? I'm with Galaxy on this one, if there is a spell check function, then it ain't working for me. Not that it matters too much, I will just not have to be so lazy.
Bheers, teh Cear.

Rich,
It appears,to be working fine for me! Who know's? Will probably take awhile, to get the bugs out.
Cheers,

howmus2. If you let your curser accidentally move over the black bar at the top just below the nerdy looking guy leaning on sonething, it pulls down a large thingy with all kinds of useless info for you to figure out how to get out of.... Or move your curser half way down the page for it to magically disapear... How about making that something you have to click on to make show up?
Yes, this is especially irritating. The navigation menu for the entire MR website pops up way too easy, as it's a big fat bar with huge font.
On the other hand, the Forum navigation menu just below it is in tiny font and a hard target to hit because it is so.
Maybe it's just a font size issue? Or a Firefox one (FF 25.0.1 in use here.)
This is an even bigger problem because of the length of posts on the page and no Forum navigation or Back to the Top at the bottom of the page as I and othrs mentioned earlier.
Also note that if you post a reply in a thread, you can't just use Backspace to navigate as you may end up with a double-posting if you're not careful, another irriattion with the lack of what's mentioned above.

Mike,
I have been going, around,the black bar, from the left side, or if I want to go through the bar, I do it fast, no hessitation and it works all the time. I also,have been using,my return fuction,to go back to the top,or to another thread. Works fine for me that way, a lot of other forums, I'm on,do it that way, so I guess, I am used to it.
As far as a spell checker, I'm not certain, but there may not be one. At least I could not find it.
I have been looking around the new site this morning and I like it. Seems very clean and so far, everything works. To me, a vast improvement as everything seems organized and no popups. Thanks MR!!
There's never time to do it right, but always time to do it over.....
Neil is right, expect change and with that change there will always be a re-inventing of the wheel. Even though the wheel's design was pretty much "Hashed-Out" a while back, technology forces it's re-re-re-invention regularly.

Nothing to it.
And when I click on the Emoticons, it places them at the beginning of my reply, not where I actually want them placed.
Isn't that the way it always works? LOL
No spell check here either!

WOW!
I'm using Firefox. I've come across some problems concerning this new setup.
New things for the complaint list:
Email notification isn't working, at least not for PM's so far as I know. Probably not for other stuff either. When I click 'Email notifications' in my profile I get an error.
I can't log out. Even if I wanted to I can't do it. I tried and all I got was a server error. Looks like I'm stuck here. Good thing I use 'tab' browsing.
This format carries over into archived copy - and therein I found a major rub.
A while back I spent the best part of an hour putting together a 'sort of' sketch of my benchwork design, using punctuation marks. The new format narrowed the field - and ground that diagram into meaningless hamburger. Bummer,,,

That's usually the way it is. The system I work most closely with for a living can be tested for months on end, and let them release it to the sites who use it and we get trouble reports starting almost immediately. Sometimes, those sites fall off and back to the old release. Running any software in "live mode" always exposes bugs.
Or, as somebody once said, "just when you think you have idiot-proofed your software, somebody designs a better idiot."
Last week I installed all the patches from Microsoft on my laptop, including IE 11. It appeared half the desktop gadgets were gone, with one being there but in a blurry pink color. Turns out IE11 creates a problem when the display magnification in Windows (at least Windows 7, maybe others) is set to something other than 100%. I have seen nothing to rival that with the new forum.
I'm using Firefox 25.0.1 on the Windows 7 with all patches current and have had no technical problems I can see. The ability to jump to the last post in a thread would be appreciated. Somebody said the new look is clean, and I agree with that. Somebody also mentioned they thought the search function works better. That would be a big help.

Aw, come on folks!
WHAT A BUNCH OF WHINERS!
Not really - just testing!
Hmmm. My smiley didn't appear...
