personally prefer the started by in a separate column, spaces out the threads better. also a white background...like we have now

also in regards to the for sale section, would it be possible to once sold have the option the "archive" the thread. This would move it to another section "archived"


just been looking into this, and its not possible without  a lot of extra code editing which is beyond me. So it will be light grey, which IMO is easier to read, as opposed to black/white contrast.

I have edited it to give a clear line break between posts now.  :happy2:

I already miss the old "new" buttons. The orange clashes IMO.

I don't mind not having a "started by" column but having independent views/replies made it easier to find certain threads by sorting. Not essential.

Also miss the colour themes eg usernames in red.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

The orange "new" icon on the new forum will be changed. I agree.... its a bad clash


I don't mind not having a "started by" column but having independent views/replies made it easier to find certain threads by sorting. Not essential.

There is an independent 'views' and 'replies' sorting... but its merged into one column. Have another look and let me know.

Also miss the colour themes eg usernames in red.

Im sure you can cope with that. (unless I can find how to change them.... theres so many reference files you wouldnt believe) :grin:

They look awesome. Marked improvement.

The replies/views can be arranged only in forum views rather than a view of all unread posts which is how I normally use this forum.

No worries about the layouts and themes. Lets just get things working first.

Edited the menu bar so that the items are static rather than skipping around all over the place

I see your managed to get a thanks system going, any chance of adding to the user profile to see posts you've been thanked on like we have now?

Could someone like a couple of my posts? In the profile section the messages/topics (given) it shows up who I've thanked but at the moment the topics/messages (Become) are the same as they are on here but it says 0 members like this (even tho they are my thanked posts) so just want to check to see if its because its a lthank you from the back up or if it affects new likes

Looking good so far Rich..

If you click on an inserted image which has been downsized, it appears to zoom up to its original size.  Seems to happen both to ones which have links to a new window (Flickr for example) as well as others.  Hope that makes sense!
