Hey Gang,

We were long overdue for an upgrade so as you can see the new board went live tonight. The new board is very similar to the old one with some additional functionality. Bear with us while we get things tidied up and organized and let us know what you think.

As with anything change needs to get use to. In a week or two everyone will be back to normal :)

I like it.

<<<- Right there where it has my username, image and says Eastern Ontario. Look at every entry in this thread, on the left side where it shows the users icon and info you can see if they are online or offline right now. Posted Image for online and Posted Image for offline.

If you click on their profile icon Posted Image and them put your mouse on "Profile Options" you can find all entries they ever made on the forum or all threads they started. That's just the start, there is much more functionality with the new board.

I think once you get use to it you will really like it. We will play around with the look of it a bit yet and see what we can come up with over the weekend.

Thanks for your patience everyone.

Check out the "Recent Discussion" link on the right side of the page a little down from the top. (2 inches down from the top on my screen) sweet.

You can do an "add reply" like with the old board or a quick reply at the bottom if it is just text. sweeter.

lol we hear ya.

We are still playing around with the themes (look, colour, font, etc) and you will see some adjustments over the next couple of days. It'll be worth it once we get it fine tuned.

We will get this forum into great shape for the users. We have a lot of different things to look into. As for forum backgrounds, we will eventually have more than one that you can choose from. We need to find the best fit that will keep some of our old look and feel and that also we work well with our headers, emoticons and the like. If you have ideas or suggestions please share them with us. Thank You.

The colours WILL change. We are trying different combinations. Problem is, not everyone likes the same colours so no matter what we go with some won't care for it. Stay tuned...

As Renegade touched on, I think Zetaboards supports multiple background wallpaper you can choose from to customize the forum for your own preference. There is also code for animating the header to toggle through multiple headers so you have a different one every time you move to a sub forum.

Go to the bottom of the forum you will see a drop down box that says "choose a theme" click on it and choose "Fawn Beige" much easier on the eyes, think you will like it.
We are working on more themes--stay tuned

Another option is having the ability of getting rid of your own categories.You will see a small orange dot with a - in it,click on it and the forum category will be gone,if you want it back up just click on the +.

Things are different and we will get things better and better. I gaurantee you will be happier with the new format once you get the hang of it. The active topics or recent discussion you want is located at the bottom right of the forum. We will probably try and get code for having recent topics at the top and your right the recent discussion section is crap. We will work on that.

Change is good, I would have to agree. We all become complacent with what we are used to. But on the other hand why fix what isn't broke. I am getting used to the new format but I really miss the 'view new posts'. I could be away from OTB for a couple days, and then get back online and see what has gone on since my last visit. Don't get me wrong still a great forum but kiss....and stick to what works. I know everyone working behind the scene is doing all they can to make this a great forum and thank-you. Just my 2 cents and I'm knitpicking. :thumbsup:

Hi Mark,

Are you using Internet explorer? In your browser menu you can select 'View' and then 'Text Size' and make the font in your browser bigger.

Is there a way to incorporate the "Light Up" icon on the left of a topic thread, similar to what the old site had. This icon would light up when a new post was posted in that particular thread....??

That's why are lot of members like the "Active Topics" link. It's at the bottom on the right side.

Still looking at what can be done...

Thanks, any chance of being able to move the "active topics" link to the top of the website. makes it a little more user friendly.

Thanks for the info

Font size was slightly increased as well Mark. You should notice it now without making any adjustments.
