General Discussion

I having issues with viewing recent posts. For example, on the main page of this section it saids Maddog was the last person to post in this thread about 7 minutes ago but when I enter this thread the last post I see is Kat's from about an hour ago. Hope this gets resolved soon! (Y)

I was having the same problem until just a few moments ago, but it seems to be alright now.

Thank you Also notice the issue of the logo missing, I assume that will come in sometime soon.

Avatars are square now, I need to look at the size issue and all the rest of the stuff but I need to head out the door. Ill be back in a few hours to take a look. 

Scratch that, it's still happening in some of the other threads.

Having the same problem. 

On the bright side, being notified when one of your posts gets quoted is pretty cool.

while the kinks are getting sorted out I thought i would mention I think at some point it would be nice to try out different skin colors on the site to see how they look. Maybe something looks a tad bit better than the blue wouldn't hurt to try some different colors out to see what looks best. If people of the forum really like the look of a different color we could put up a vote or something

Are you volunteering to try it out? It's a pretty easy interface to do. I can probably give you access. I am not an artistic person so I can't help with the skins

I would love to! I like the layout but I think trying different skin colors might be interesting. That would be great  

I figure we can try it out after we get out some of the forum turnover kinks,etc.

And the mobile interface doesn't suck like it use to. I can actually reply and view as I am now. More options to waste time on BZ

Getting a lot of people sending me pm's over skype, or posting on here saying they don't like the small circles for our avatars. BB Codes are being requested because it's a hell of a lot easier then dealing with HTML coding, and is there a way to preview our posts before actually hitting the submit button?

So there is no more "preview" option, this is a true WYSIWYG (what you see if what you get) editor, so as you compose it will show up exactly as you see it. 

Should you experience any wierd issues please let me know how to replicate it so I can try to resolve it. 

Also what BB Codes are you trying to use? Please post any examples so I can try to help out. Thanks.

Yes, but if you can't view it, like me currently, it sucks!

Is there still an option to change font text, and add videos without knowing how to use HTML coding?

My understanding is just paste the link and it should auto convert to an embedded video. What site are you having issues with?

Test youtube:

^^ The paste feature wasn't working a couple hours ago which is why I had asked

Test:

WORKS! Yay

The big question about coding is being able to easily change text type, and if it's possible?

Also about the default spacing between lines of text in both posts and in the signature and can it be changed so that the extra space isn't there?

One line instead

of new paragraph

I think it's weird too, its as if the default spacing is double spaced. Hopefully that will get fixed.

Overall I"m actually really digging the update now besides some things like avatar size and the absence of emoji's and ability to change fonts, but I guess that will be sorted out/be just fine. 

I'm so in love with some of these updates! I'm smitten with @katchitup feature! omg it makes it so much easier to have a convo with someone

Single line is fixed, still not understanding the change fonts, so in the old BZ there were different fonts available? I see different Sizes and Colors available to change in the editor here, but I assume thats not what you are refering to?

YAY! Yes, you were able to change your fonts as well in the old BZ, besides just color and size.
