The starting screen has just changed!

Looks better.

Just one niggle though... now have a horizontal scroll bar when the thread titles are too long to fit the frame. Didn't they used to wrap?

Prefer the wrapping method.

Other than that, cool, so far.

They do wrap. The only time you get the scrollbar is when someone creates a thread titled something like "LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL" where you get one word which is too long. Then it doesn't wrap and you get a scrollbar. Find the offending thread, mark it as read then refresh the thread list and the scrollbar will magically dissapear :)

It's still there!

The thread "A favour from arty typestyle people" or something like that is causing the scrollbar.

As far as i can tell I have read it, and marked it as read. But it is still there. :[

Is it my puter, or am I doing something silly?

The Start page, not the thread list pane.

He's talking about the start page, not the main thread list.

The page with the gallery on it that lists recently accessed threads.

Yup, that's the start page.

Oh was it meant to look like that? I thought i'd just caught a random forum hiccup.

After having another look, i much prefered it the way it was. If the coding wizards could make it wrap instead of having the scrollbar prblem mentioned above, then i might change my mind.

 

But for now i don't like it.

Wrapping should be sorted now. I've added some of the functionality from the thread list as well.

Looking better now.

 

HOw about adding the drop down menu in there as well, so you can go straight to unread to:me, etc?

That would blur the differences between it and the thread list too much says me.

Wasn't that the point in changing it in the first place?

No.

A simple To:Me counter somewhere might be nice.
Like how it says "you've got 2 unread PMs" or whatever.
Can't think of where a nice place for it to go would be?

Then what was the point?

That's muchly better... (hug)

Just a thought for another addition. This may/maynot have been mentioned in past history.

The bit at the bottom of the posts that says something like:

Show All 1-20 etc.

Could we have that at the top as well?

I've found that if I'm catching up on a very long thread that scrollng to the bottom to advance to the next lot is a pain. Just a thought.

To redesign it.

Just fancied a change?

 

Fair enough then.

Seconded.
