The new look

[flea]

AO how do you post up images in this new one? Also i've noticed that when there are new posts that need proving is the moding heading meant to change colour or some thing so we know there is a post waiting? last few times i just happened to go in there & look

Just below the submit button, theres a tab called "Upload Attachment". Click on that, the rest should be the same as before.

Re. moderating, yes thats something I need to fix. But when thats done you should see a number telling you how many posts need to be approved. For the time being, whenever you see a list of posts, you should see question mark icon if the post needs approval.

Cheers mate. I'll give the pictures a go now. I went back to the old one to do it last time I'll let you know how i get on

Scroll down till you see the submit, preview, save draft buttons, then look towards the left (depending on screen size)

Everything is there Roy, you are just looking in the wrong place, if you scroll down, just past the submit buttons etc, to you left you will see options lit up in blue, next to that is another button....attachment, click on that and your good to go.
M-m

Not sure if this has been mentioned (can't be bothered to rear the entire thread so apologies if that is the case) but for me one thing that is missing is the ability to tag 'favourite' threads. I have spotted a couple over the past week where I thought 'oh yes, that will come in useful' but there's no option (that I can see) so create my own favourites list.

Is this something we can have added in?

I found it two days ago. piece of cake

At the top left you can "Subscribe" to the topic in which case you will get email notifications whenever a new post is added. That is probably what you need.

You can also "Bookmark" the thread though I don't know what that does...

[paggers]

Unless I'm going blind I don't have either a subscribe or bookmark option. The latter sounds like what I am looking for, I don't want to be updated on the thread I just want to keep track of it for future reference.

When you say 'top left' can you be a bit more specific?

[paggers]

Never mind - you meant bottom left and I have found it now. Bookmark is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

Ah, I'm still on the old grey theme so it might have moved in the new theme.

I often use the forum on my mobile. I try to use it the same way as on my laptop but have to zoom in to be able to click buttons/follow links.
So, I go to "View unread posts" then have to zoom in to be able to click the links. With the old look this was ok as the links to the various pages was on the left following the thread titles. That meant I could always go direct to the latest page. With the new look the pages are on the right so I mostly don't notice that there are more than one page and I go to P1... then have to go to the latest page.
Like I said, it's a minor annoyance but it would be so much simpler if the page numbers were next to the thread title like it was on the old look.

I'm still not using the new theme because of the page numbers being on the right and not on the left next to the thread title. If this one thing was fixed I'd be using the new theme.
