User CP is 'Settings'. Don't know about marking forum as 'Read'

New threads and new posts, I think

This new format is fookin' shite! I'm flouncing.

I am glad the cabbage rack is back.

...Now with added dog-turds!

It was boring being on a full rack.

Onya Admin!

Now we have our New Forum.

It needs tweeking, but, as opposed to moaning about it, lets have some solid suggestions we can all/most agree on and
hopefully admin will listen and take action.

Font size larger for me please.

Up from the default "2" to a more readable "3" please.

Also the reinstatement of the "My Relies' button please.

What is needed is a mod to write down what the changes mean and how to do the stuff you used to do. They're very stand-offish, aren't they.
Explain what's happened and how to go about things. Also, a bit of communication now and then would not be amiss, like explaining why a post is deleted.
As it is, we all have to discuss and experiment. Quite rude of the mods, I think and self-defeating.
Mind you, as it is it generates more clicks with us discussing it, so maybe there's their reason for leaving us flounder around.

>>D48 Font size larger for me please.

If you are on Firefox Dave use the >View>Zoom option to 120% it does a good job of bumping the fonts size without trashing the rendering. It also remembers that the setting is for all TD pages and not for other sites.

Would you like me to forward you some? You could probably use a few logs to build a battle scene for you toy tanks.

Why is it so dark? The links are difficult to read

^^It is funny you should mention that. One of the early battle-tank modifications was to fire human shit out of the barrel at the enemy as a way of demoralising them.

I shit you not they did do such a thing.

I am too. I have no patience for such a completely different user interface. I know we all complained about certain things but now EVERYTHING is different and very frustrating.

Someone said that "My Replies" are under "Settings", but they aren't. And that is how I view Teakdoor.

Bye bye.

I'm going outside, and may be some time..........

Like ...

"Dear valued members. We will be upgrading the forum software next week/tomorrow and we expecte to be offline for 5 or 6 hours starting sometime in the afternoon."

Instead of what actually happened: Switch on computer, connect to internet, open browser, click for TD, find that TD is offline for an upgrade promised 3 years ago.

What the fuck is it with the lack of communication by those who supposedly run this place? Over three years and not a fucking word then, WHAM! Fucking upgrade without even a single post - apart from the 3 year old post some people thought was really an April Fool's joke!

I can't mark all as read cos the search bar is covering it..

I think the admin will be trying to sort the mess they made out of the sponsors banners first

Hey ... that works




Now, if some could simple place a 'My Replies' button ON THE FRONT PAGE ... that would be greatly appreciated.

My Replies.???

No argument from me. I have no idea why an announcement wasn't made, seems very strange.

Easier to hit the "reply with quote" tab and then edit as you wish.

Nothing odd at all about this activity, Bob.
Non-communication and apparent indifference towards the membership has been the cornerstone of TD since Eric's passing.

The change.

Might want to have a look at your CSS there - the responsive(-ish) version is fucked.

You're such a paragon of manly stoicism. The way you endure the vicissitudes of life on an exceptionally minor, slowly decaying forum is a wonder to behold.
