New Format

[elZorro]

Just some things I've noticed while the changeover has been happening: the link to these pages is by search at the moment, because the what's new? icon has the same command as the last posts icon.

When starting a post, which icon/button do you choose? most of them are in fact quick reply, you have to also choose "advanced" to get a standard followon posting started.

If you insert a quote in the post, it now always seems to have a whole lot of air added above it, which makes scanning the posts a bit harder, and they're not as readable.

Trusting these are all quick fixes.. Like the new smilies.

Still slow, colors crap, as soneone said earlier why change. ST changed to common format few yrs back and other sites still retain that ie aussie forum, so they have changed this time on their own, but why? And everyone's happy because they've got smilies!!!

George is right....these muddy pastel colours ...pink/beige/grey/lavender, or whatever you call them, do not make the pages easier to read. There are plenty of other crisp,clear, legible,reader friendly colours.

How do I get the page with all the smilies on it?

[peat]

here is a link to open the page with the smilies directly

http://www.sharetrader.co.nz/misc.ph...=vB_Editor_001

but the way to get that is through the advanced reply option and then the smilies are on the right and if you want even more of them then click on the [more] link below that.

it seems that forums are now routinely offereing quick reply as the default reply option with the ability to then move to an advanced option that offers links icons smilies embedding etc

Thanks peat. You are a champ.

I would be out of a job if I had studied computers.

If it's a laptop- turn it over and they're on the bottom. On a desktop look underneath the top of the desk.

Previously when I read a post the blue highlight would disappear. Now it doesnt. Please correct. Thanks.
