Like the new site mike and thanks for all the work you must hav put in.
I liked the old site part where you could have all the forums displayed as one page.
Will that be possible again when you have got the rest of the site running?
Also there seems to be another mrs feka should i chane my user name.

Hiya Mike, first of all when I tried to open web page from my favourites list said web page not found, hadn't been on since Friday so didn't know new site was open. :blush:
Found it on Google page and lo and behold there it was :) have not tried anything yet but if any probs will let you know.

PS thanks for all the hard work you have put in to this site, and how do you make a donation?

Mike, on the main forums page, the "Information & FAQ" topic header doesn't highlight when there are unread posts, although the individual thread does highlight once on the page.

Another problem... I highlighted this new site on RLFans, and it's receiving positive feedback... form 'them lot' on there... that is strange!

:( Cannot access the site from my computer at home even through google links.OK at work.Not sure why a change has had to be made and agree with those who find the text too small.Not sure yet whether I like it. :(

FOr those who are finding the text too small, you can use your browsers text size options to increase the size. Usually in the View menu there will be a text size increase option.

I will probably increase the size of the fonts in the stylesheets very shortly so you don't have to do this. When I've reinstated the ability for users to choose their own site styles again I'll make large and small font size versions of each one.

Another slightly strange one: when you access this topic from the "Info & FAQ" forum, it defaults to the duplicate in the "web warriors" forum. Means going back through the board index to get back to "Info & FAQs".

And another minor one: although the date format for "last post" is fine in the topic lists eg: Mon, 25 Feb 2008 at 13:46, on the board index page it's: 2008-02-25 13:46:28, which is a lot harder to read quickly. (especially since I never know what the date is!).

Hey your post didn't appear twice. Did you do anything different (like delete on of them!)

You can make the font bigger in your own browser for now to avoid eyestrain...

This posts is an announcement. Its home forum is the Web Warriors one - thats why it does what you outlined. When I improve the navigation to access the other forums from a forum post page this shouldn't be a problem.
