noob230 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I know its not very important but something that's slightly annoying is that the spell-check is on 'American' English and not 'English' English so words like "favourite" and "colour" are coming up without the U's. Is that something I have to change or is it something on the forum set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 If you're using Google Chrome, your spell-checker dictionary might be set to "English US". In which case you'll need to change it to the UK dictionary. You can do this quickly by right-clicking a dialogue box and selecting "Spell-checker options" and then selecting "English (United Kingdom)".If you're not operating Google Chrome, then I've no idea how to help you because I don't use other browsers as frequently! I was unaware TPM even had it's own spell-checker. :PHope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smidget Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yeah, I'm really not liking this look, the old one was so much better! The new colour is fine, but the layout and everything is just bleurghh. Seems a little formal, and as Sidders said, boring for TPM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'm also suffering personal image / avatar issues as someone else mentioned - each time I try to load a new picture it just reverts to the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 In the history of TPM changes, I don't think there has ever been a change that people have liked. In the past people complained yet after a couple of weeks of using it you forget what the old one was like. It's the same with Facebook, how many times has that changed over the years? I'm sure at some point Twitter will change layouts. There is always an uproar but really people soon get used to it.However, saying that, there are a few things I'm not too keen on. I don't like how the forum has swapped personal pictures with avatars and how your picture shows up in the "last post" column on the forum. I also don't like how it doesn't feel like a theme park forum. I know these issues are being seen to though so hopefully it won't be like this forever....

Benin Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Change is feared.Over-reactions are part of the internet.There are still improvements that need doing, but tbh, it could be a LOT worse. Once an unbland colour scheme pops up I doubt anyone will actually even care that it's changed.P.S. Needs MORE Bigheads!

Sidders Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'm still not keen on the images being used in the signature. I greatly appreciate all the work done thus far, particularly with the signatures, but I feel this will only add to the clunky feel of the new layout.

Sidders Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I still have my personal image (or lack thereof). I miss my Nemesis Inferno corkscrew shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Can't find my other picture, and it won't allow me to import a photo URL either, it comes up with a red box with no text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Signatures....Users can now choose to hide an individual or everyone's signatures so do not put anything important in there as you cannot assume that everyone will see it. You will notice that on the right hand side, under each post an "X" has appeared. Clicking this will bring up a dialogue allowing you to choose to hide that user, or all users signatures. Tried this just now and I don't see a dialogue box? It just takes me to the top of the page!This isn't a major issue but if you have time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Can I be a pain and ask again - is the 'todays active content' button gone or am I just being a dufus and missing it somewhere?I do like that button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Can we have an interim thing.. and just change the IPS community logo to a mania hub one? Even if it doesn't fit, or it clashes with colours or whatever, at least its something? Luke_A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Can't seem to find my 'change signature' button? Had a talk with Sidders and it isn't where his is so I'm all lost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I just noticed the navigation menu at the bottom is now gone as well? All I have is the "Back to ______" button, but the menu where you could flick back to any forum in one click seems to be gone. Will this be coming back? It was really useful.

Fred Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Right at the bottom you can choose Forums -> Forum - > Sub Forum that you're in.. but you have to scroll right to the bottom which is irritating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I don't like the filter on the view new content page. I like the idea of it but it's just too... big and cluttered?I dislike the new layout of our profiles too. I can't click any of the other tabs along the left side either or see all my friends?I also dislike pictures and colour in signatures, I think it looks tacky.And I miss the old skin, it was so nice and cute.But don't hate me for me moaning ;)Edit: Oh but but I've found something I like now... the bar at the top. The messages/notifications thing... Sidders and Cornflakes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I have discovered a new problem!When using the quick reply option in the Thorpe Park Staff topic, I typeda link to a YouTube video and used the media tags, then I clicked "More Reply Options" as I wanted to preview the post to t to check the media tags still worked since the upgrade.it took a while to load then took me to a blank page. So I closed the tab and opened a new one, but when I click on the topic, I get the same blank page!I cleared my history, cahce, all that shizz, which also obviously logged me out of TPM. When I click on the topic logged out it works. I logged back in...and it still didn't work!Myy browser is Firefox, I tried Internet Explorer but it still doesn't work.Restarted my laptop, still nothing.I went on my iPhone, using the mobile theme, and it took me to the topic! But when I clicked reply it then went slow and did the blank page thing.So, it's as if it;s got stuck and thinks I'm still trying to post or something? Hence why I cleared the cache etc but like I said it didn't work, it's TPM's fault :PHalp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 TPM is pissing me off.I click on the usual view new content stuff, liek the star next to it. It won't take me to the last unread post, I think it takes me to first post made today instead.Ie, I just went to read the thorpe park staff thread. It took me to marks Tower of Terror post.. which I've seen 3 times now, whereas the only post I've not seen is the one made by benin.It's extremely irritating.

Dan Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'm finding when I use the standard view on webpage on my I phone it's goes really slow and freezes on scroll down on posts and it's quite frustrating is there any cure to this ? It used to be the quickest site on my mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 There is quite alot going on on the main view which your phone browser probably can't handle very well, IPB reccomend either using the mobile skin or their own app. Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
