• We’re currently investigating an issue related to the forum theme and styling that is impacting page layout and visual formatting. The problem has been identified, and we are actively working on a resolution. There is no impact to user data or functionality, this is strictly a front-end display issue. We’ll post an update once the fix has been deployed. Thanks for your patience while we get this sorted.

Welcome to the new PCV forum

So, we know where the text formatting is and the colours
Is there any way of putting colours into the signature box on the log in? The signature (if any) would then be set to a different colour to the post so that the signature would be shown as being a fixture rather than as part of a post.
Also is there any possibility of adding 'stickies'? If we had a sticky showing casual browsers who are members who can't log on now how to do it easily we would keep most of our members.
I've had emails from members who are having difficulty because they hadn't changed their usernames.

That's what I mean
 
I'll have a look at changing the signature colour tomorrow, at the moment it looks to much like the main post text. I don't think that you will be able to choose your own colours though.

Smileys are on the list as well.

Anything else feel free to ask, we will try and do our best.

I just work here
And your wife must be going mental at this point...
Point taken about signatures, though I think a space and a line will have to do, which we should be able to sort fairly quickly.
Am doing the recovery of the errant posts now...
 
Ahem, Mr Techie Guy (or Guys) Sir, you know those icons at the side of each forum which, according to the legend at the bottom of the page, are supposed to indicate which threads have new posts in? Umm, well, they don't at the mo, they all show no new posts.......well, they do on mine anyway.

Aaaaaaaaah, now I get all this talk of 'icons'! You're right, they don't. We had to remove the functionality of displaying number of new posts on forums, because it was bringing the site to its knees. We'll probably remove the little legend at the bottom, rather than reinstate the 'new post' indicator any time soon, as I suspect there may be quite a bit of work involved.

Ditto, and mine. It would be nice to have a 'view unread posts' or on the main page the headings in order of the most recent posts. Unless I'm missing something :O(
Anyway, I'm off to bed, it's been too much excitement for one day. I bet I'll have nightmares tonight.
 
I just thought i would have a quick peek around

.......getting the hang of it with the help of Parksy!
Looks to be much more user friendly and versatile.
To infinity and beyond..........Well Done.
 
well done, I know from other forum 'upgrades' how hard it can be, so this is going well by most standards!
One point though, if you can oblige, will you make the page fit available space? it don't fit my baby laptops 10" screen and I don't appreciate scrolling left to right and back again :no:
