If you click on them, they take you DIRECTLY to the last posts on the thread. Way cool. No waiting for the whole post to load ('cause it's, um, slow.... Did I say that it was a bit... slow?)

Yeah, Dennis. I got your point. It's slow. Has anyone missed the fact that Dennis noted several times that it's slow? We just moved in today, Dennis. We have some tuning to do. Did you want to help, or just "notice"? By the way, you spelled "directly" wrong
Rich ps: The little blue arrow takes you direct to your first unread post in the thread. Kinda neat. |

Rich, I'll help if I can (and you want me to), but I'll "hang around and notice" if I MUST...

Moving from General Forum to Suggestions and Feedback Forum.
Thanks for volunteering Dennis. We knew we could count on you. You can start by picking up all the brass over in Lock and Load (George's guys have been busy lately). This should free us up for the important stuff.....like moving threads to their appropriate Forums. Touche. Wanna nuther round? Rich |

Off topic... but it would be nice if we could have a different color for links (threads) that have been "read" like we had with the old system. It makes it a lot easier to scan for new info that way.

Joe...your assistance, please.
I need your help understanding this question on the link colors.
As an example, I look at http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/...php?forumid=12 In Netscape, I see the folders change for new posts and the threads I've visited turn from blue to a rather distasteful purple. (I'll change that in time). In IE, I see the folders change for new items but the threads I've visited remain black. Is that what you're referring to? What Browser? Thanks, Rich |

Rich,
I'm using AOL 4.0, which uses it's own browser, which in essence is IE. The threads are all black and after I read one, they are still the same color as before as are the folders. When I hover over or "click on" a thread it will turn blue for a short second and then revert back. I'll get back to you in a bit. I'm going to check it with Netscape and IE. Joe |

Update: With IE everything looks and acts as described above. With Netscape 4.7 I am seeing blue links for the threads and a dark purple for the "read" links. The purple doesn't look bad at all in IMHO. The folder color doesn't change after reading a link with either browser. I think the folders only change color after so many hours, like to let people see what has been posted overnight.

Thanks Joe. That helps. Our software Guru, Caeca Invidia Es, is looking into this now.

It actually looks right in AOL eh? That surprises me..... I really really really dislike that software sometimes. And the AOL browser is a very twisted and distorted version of IE, I wouldn't say it is the same as IE in essence or any other sense.

Caeca Invidia Es, Rich,
It doesn't look the same on AOL as it does on Netscape (blue changing to purple), but at least the links now change color (black to blue) with AOL which is a big help. I know AOL browsers leave a lot to be desired, but IE is doing the same thing (black to blue) as AOL. More people use IE than Netscape, so IMHO I would not worry as much about Netscape and concentrate more on what looks good for IE and AOL users. *wink* Thanks for the dedication and hard work guys!

The idea is to make it look good in ANY browser..... I wish it was that easy.
