Gonna piss you off now I think. New Replies (top right)...

What should I see, no updates to New Replies beyond X5Sports 5:55 pm post. Is that right - would have thought all our posts on this thread would have populated that too?

That option is unread replies, so these ones that you have been looking at will not be in that list

I like.... :punk:

Well done team....well you anyway.  Sp3ctre being the Librarian an all......or de we just say "Oook".

I Project Managed moving 3,500 people from Novell to a new MS environment  a few years back and it was a teensy bit trixxy (and took a while longer) so I feel for you doing this.  Nice new look too.  Haven't played with everything, but if I find summat odd I'll stick a paw up.

But for now......WELL DONE! :bow: :bow:

Take a look at the top right of the screen.... does that achieve what you're looking for?

Much appreciated mate, bit more of a slog than I'd anticipated but we're getting there.

Thanks :)

Do we now remove any colour refs from sigs as they only partly work?  Red seems ok, but not green.  A very low priority and minor snaggette...I think the BB codes have gone walkabout. :blink:

Just added the BBC editor to the sig section to make signature editing a little easier

Yup.....works a treat! Thank you.  The old codes weren't always being picked up.

Now just got to learn where everything is now..... :headhurt:

Bad timing for you as well X5Sport as you have to go back to work. I was going to nominate you to write the new forum manual for us oldies from "where has it gone"  :))

Will try Show Topics From Past but these are time limited, Active Topic wasn't.

Edit: Tried this, nope not the same. No idea what I have read already? Old view would show with colour variation. I don't know now.

Also, got sent a PM from PVR (I know it should have been from someone more useful) but that came through as an email notification and when I clicked on it, instead of the post made by PVR, I got a link direct to as if I was replying to him (editing window), not reading pane.

That's normal, if you look on the email it says "Reply to this Personal Message here", hence when you click it you get the reply box.
