Test out the new USMB Skin - Feedback appreciated

[protectionist]

I searched for that web site after you referenced it.

Looks to be deader than a door nail.

I dont know where you went. The one I go to is alive and lively. When I get 2 alerts here, I get 10 there.

Only 8 options are on the top line in the reply mode. PoliticalJack.com has 18. That's what should have been fixed.

Xenforo forum also................most likely an older version.

Make your window wider and you'll see 18. I do. The icons get removed if they run out of room. I addressed this with you already the last time you complained about it.

 

[elchorizo]

Not a win, IMHO

Look at the date of the post you quoted.

Xenforo forum also................most likely an older version.

People say the fonts here are small... ours are 17 pixel in the message body. Theirs are 14 pixels... you can barely see them. Makes a lot of room though!

Just popped in to see if any positive changes were made during the day. Alas. This site looks very clinical to me, now. It has lost its charm, it's warmth. Drab-looking top bar and flag. Not at all inviting. Loved the previous one. But, I will adapt.

I've made it available here to use. You can change the skin/style to "Stock Xenforo" and use it. This link might allow you to change it as well: Style chooser

Note: We will not be changing/fixing anything on the stock skin. So don't complain about anything. It's "As Is" only.

And I know everyone likes large fonts so I've updated all the Typography in the Stock Xenforo skin by 2 pixels.

Hey, thank you, elchorizo! I'm there now and prefer this stock skin to the newbie! Thanks for working with us to try to assist as many as possible, find their comfort zone. This style is more colorful bringing with it a less clinical and more friendly experience for my preference. I like the wider heading also. It's size is juxtaposed better than the new skin, in my opinion.

Good. I just switched.

I did, too. Much more to my liking here.

If your window is wide enough the Remove Formatting icon shows up, so does the color icon. My guess is that we have side columns here and the other site you are on does not. Thus the editor window is wider. Not much we can do about that.

Your guess is wrong. Politicaljack.com (check it out) has both left & right side columns, same as USMB.
The difference is that political jack has TWO rows of icons. USMB has only one.

Consequently, with USMB one has to take an extra step to get to another row, whereas with PJ it's all right there. More convenient.

We aren't the site you mentioned. Deal with it!

What's the matter ? You never heard of constructive criticism ?

I noticed that some of the members here are ''administrators'' over there, though.

Looked like a pretty boring pace, honestly.

I am seeing cropped signatures, like maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the sig.

Perhaps a setting I can adjust? It is not the end of the world by any means. Just passing it along. Sorry if this was already mentioned. I did not read this thread.

This is what I see….

Signatures are limited to 120 pixels in height. If the image is larger than that, it'll be cut off.

Got it. Thank you!

Most people dislike change. In time one will get used to it.

If you don't update your browser you may run into issues soon.
If you can load that above image, you are good to go.

Well, it isn't that I don't want to update my browser just that right now I CAN'T. To do that first I must update my OS. And My computer is not something you easily change. It is a very complicated professional computer that Apple itself has been remiss to support since I bought it and this time, I'm going to have to hire someone. And when I start updating that crap, then I'll need to update a whole bunch of other stuff like my virtual machine. And frankly, I have far more pressing matters I'm dealing with than constantly updating perfectly good software just because the IT industry keeps capriciously changing stuff to force me to keep buying crap.

But the good news is that yes, I was able to open your webp file with the USMB logo and flag.

What were the security issues? Inquiring minds want to know.

I also see that I can search through my conversations. The question now is can our conversations be hacked?

Can we recover deleted conversations?
