Very nice!

A couple of small observations. The layout of posts seems to be a bit off in IE6, at least on my computer ... avatars in the middle of the screen, with post text shunted to the right. This may be my computer though, and I doubt anyone will have too much sympathy for someone using IE6 anyway. There are probably other issues for IE6 that you won't be able to do anything about since it isn't supported.

Another thing, about the icons to the left of post titles in any particular forum. I think hovering the pointer over these icons is supposed to bring up little balloons with the status (New Replies, No New Replies, Hot Topic, etc). It does in Explorer, but not in Firefox. Maybe this is my settings, and anyway, it's a very small point since it's pretty easy to work out the meaning of the various black, grey, red boxes, etc. Just thought you might like to know.

You really need an up to date browser for everything to work how it should.

Your a gluton for punishment making all this work for yourself Andy!
Only thing, i liked the old active topics and on my phone I'm having problems distinguishing your site from another CP forum, apart from the name the layout looks identical.


The IP.Board.Mobile skin is default that comes with all IPB forums. So all forums will look the same on a mobile. I can get another Mobile skin though so will look into it asap.

Hi,
i've noticed, that some letters with diacritical mark in some profile names aren't displayed right. For example in my name is "�" in place of "á". Can be this fixed, or is there somethig i should do about it? Or is it possible to overwrite my name without diacritical marks?

Looks like I may have fixed your username. If there's anyone else's name needs fixing let me know what the letters are that need replacing.

In the previous version I always used the single click option to show all the post updated since my last login.
Now there is the View new content option, but it seems to show only what has changed since I last pressed it.

How can I get back the previous behaviour, or at least search for everything changed in the last 24 hours, for example

Thanks

(BTW Am I the only one to think the whole site is much slower that previously - is there anything I can turn off to speed it up?)

Sorry  "View new content" is all you got. And there is no going back!

I actually think the forum is faster but I do use Firefox. I do not like so don't use IE. But I hear IE9 is fast so may try that out

With the new skin you can change the background to whatever colour you want to, still not enough for some. I have enabled the default IP.Board skin for those who want a wider forum to look at. I won't be adding any more skins though, only enabled this one because I have to keep it for the Admin panel.

I like the new version a lot, and I think it works a little bit faster than the previous one (I'm a FF user). The forums could only use a nice CP-related banner on the top:)
