Hi all, Has you can see the site now as a new look, what i personally think is more fresh and more up to date with where Home itself is at right now. All your feedback and views are welcome but i would like to point a few things out.Muti colour skins: They will return over time, don't worry New Regional News button: They are designed to help you find news from a set Home region much faster.Mobile Skin: We now have a mobile skin for the forums, that your mobiles should auto swap to, you are still able to view the full site skin via them if you wish via a 'Full Site' link at the bottom.
Regional News Buttons: Great add on. Quick way to access updates for any region. Mobile Site Skin: The set up is good BUT its all to small. I'm using a Galaxy Tab and the login, register, full site,and top links are small. I could imagine how difficult it would be on a cellphone. Last I have been clicking the Login link and it has not worked.
Keep in mind the Mobile skin is designed for phones that have small screens and due to that the links are not small
Understood. But now I am trying to access the mobile version on my cellphone (Motorola Droid) and its not coming up. Now that I think about it have you ever thaut about making a forum app for droid and iphone?
Mobile version is for old phones, smart phones will load the full version, but you can pick the mobile version if you so wish from the menu in the bottom left of the site. For app's the cost in making one would be far to high and with little user base that view the site in that manner the cost is just far to much. Also for iphone app's you need access to a Mac to make and add the app to the apple store. Would be looking at $199 to add app support and that would only be for android based systems because i don't have Mac access to add a iphone one.
i like it, the region buttons are useful and good job i like the colour scheme and the region buttons
Understood. That would explain the difficulty of the site working on my droid. Thanks for letting me know. You always respond quick.
The site has a new, fresh feel to it for sure and the "Regional News" buttons will be real handy. Thx for everything that you do to make the whole site so easy to use and so helpful. :jump::clap:
Like the new look but I had major trouble logging on. In the windows that you enter your username and password. The words "username" and "password" would not disappear when you clicked on it. Also when redirected to the failed log in page, it said that I had used "6 out of 5" attempts and to wait 15 minutes. It took me 4 attempts and over an hour to log on. Just a fyi
I really loved this new design with this nice blue background and the picture of an avatar 100% alike the one Carla Birch uses while on the personal spaces tours. I just want to report that some games at the arcade are not working, like the sudoku one.
oooooooh! SUDOKU!!! LOL I must play it.. I like the shift to blue! The forum is awesome. Very nice programming work there. Impressive!
Hey Carla, I have an idea. When I cruise the forums on my itouch, there is a small problem I have on the threadlist page. The little icon to go to "first unread post" in each thread is super small. On a pc it don't matter. But on an handheld, your finger is huge and hitting that tiny icon surrounded by nearby links is impossible. But I have an idea. If you can make the icon a clickable item, and link it to the url of the first unread post. Then it would make browsing on a handheld much easier! But don't do it for me. I'm actually fine switching between itouch and pc. I usually hit the "Last post" icon and work my way backwards.
Happy you like it and find it works good. Ps i never give info out to i launch stuff so yeah i did a little white lie before hehe.
