…remind anyone of anything? 😉
I dont mind layout changes as long as it works better than the old layout. I.e – Not like what happened when google changed their image search and youtube layout.
:tired: 😐 8) I just had to try out the smileys. Now if I could figure out how to change the font color I’d be more happy. Tried that before and it didn’t work…rats.
Everything looks good, except…
+ Give users the ability to delete their own posts?
From a moderation standpoint this is a bad idea. In the rare event that a user makes a topic accidentally, it only takes me a few seconds to delete. Giving the topic starter the option to delete the topic (and all the posts within) causes more headaches than it solves.
If someone posts a comment accidentally, users have the option to edit their posts.Volunteer mod- I'm here to help! Email me for the best response: nambroth at gmail.com

+ I wish the store would bring back the dialog box letting you know how many of an item are left. It helps to know how fast-selling (or how rare) an item is so we can plan accordingly for purchases.
Also, I see a block with the initial poster’s signature (if they have one) or just their name at the top of every topic I’ve checked out so far. It’s kind of confusing to see just the name, but no text, and then see the actual post as their own reply. Dunno if that’s a bug or not. Here’s a screencap to show what I’m talking about.
Windstone collector in remission. 😉
I replied to this in the other thread, but let me copy it here for you Tyrrlin:

I don’t know if it can be fixed or not.
You should not see this issue with any new topic created on this new forum!Volunteer mod- I'm here to help! Email me for the best response: nambroth at gmail.com
My art: featherdust.comSomething else that keeps bothering me is how much space the “whos new/whos online/new forum topics” box takes up at the bottom of the screen. Maybe break the “new forum topics” into two columns, or move it up with “whos new/whos online” stacked vertically to the right or left.
Also, I like the “jump to” box when viewing a topic. Could we have that in the individual forum sections also, so I don’t have to return to he main forum page every time I want to go to a new section?
Being able to edit (not so much delete) posts is huge. I usually have to edit things 15 times for stupid spelling errors when I get too punchy with the keyboard. (especially when I’m at work)
Also, it will be ALOT easier for us to edit our previous posts such as in sale threads and such when items are sold and if someone wants to lower their prices and stuff like that.
I also agree with those first 3 that Jennifer suggested. (I don’t know how to quote or make things a different color quite yet)
+ I would like for there to be a section of the Windstone store where I can, at a glance, see: newly added items, and items that come back in stock.
+ I would prefer if the forum and the galleries were ‘smart’ enough to automatically re-size images so that they are not cut off by the narrow formatting and/or that the forum and gallery modules could be made a bit wider.
+ I would love if, when writing a post, there was an easy-access menu for text formatting that allowed bold, itallics, underline, easy hyperlink creation, images, font size and color, quotations, lists, and smileys.
Oh yea, and we have been in desperate need for many years for a “drooling” smilie ^_^

You should already be able to edit any post you create on the new forum! 🙂
Posts made on the old forum cannot be edited right now (known bug) and I am not sure if they will be able to be in the future. But any post you make on this forum, you can edit! 🙂Volunteer mod- I'm here to help! Email me for the best response: nambroth at gmail.com
My art: featherdust.comJen, I was able to edit an older post… so this must be fixed now. 🙂

My art: featherdust.comOk, I 500th the “view new posts” button like the old forum and…..
I liked when we could click on a member”s name or your name and a button came up that said “view user’s posts” And agree with Pam on Post or submit. New smileys are cute.Edit: My edit function seems to work too. Any idea how long it’ll be till avatars get moved over?
