Killied Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hi, Firstly the new forums look great but I have noticed a couple of issues. The first is the background image you are using. It's too big it's 760kb. With all the members that will eat into your bandwidth and can cause loading issues. I have attached a new compressed version for you. It is only 176kb now but will look exactly the same. Second issue is the banner at the top. It's 1.87mb it's massive lol! That's why it looks that grainy amateurish way. I've attached a new version that's the proper height and width and is only 86kb now. If you need any help give me a shout. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thank you. In the meantime, users can always click 'Theme' at the bottom left corner of the page: Select 'Default' And this happens: It's what I use, as the ghostly image of the players was a bit freaky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, users can always click 'Theme' at the bottom left corner of the page: It's what I use, as the ghostly image of the players was a bit freaky. The new forum is tremendous. I have a couple of niggles which annoy me slightly. 1. The ghostly image looks professional, but my eyes can't cope with the transparent background behind the text. 2. I don't enjoy the forum font - i find it difficult to see, hard to put my finger on it, probably an antialiasing issue. 3. On mobile, I don't like the fact that the forum rules are so prevalent. They just cause unnecessary scrolling and slow me down. You can't please everyone, so I've gone for a grease monkey script, which tweaks the styles slightly to suit my preferences. No transparency, easier font (imo), no forum rules on front page. I don't imagine it would be too difficult to incorporate some of the ideas into another theme if there was demand for it. Happy to help out if needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killied Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 The issues regarding the HUGE images are still there. Who is the admin I think it's a simple change. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killied Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I have noticed this issue has now been fixed. Well done to the admin! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 In the mobile site Reply box, there is no option for the "wee eye thing" ... just Bold, Italic, Underline, Smileys & Link. Also in mobile, when you quote another user, you can't delete the quote box if you change your mind. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathematics Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Forum keeps logging me out and then timing out when trying to log back in. However, if I try to log back in and then cancel the operation and refresh the page, I'm miraculously logged back in. It is a pain in the arse and you lot are missing out of my amazing chat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bKb Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 should there not be a link on the forums main page to take you to the Killiefc.com homepage? there was one on the old site. are we getting any more of the old smilies? we've only brought over two and one of them's for a Killie Pie! I'd choke on one of his Killie pies now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless baz or allan has copies on backup somewhere, they be gone. I might have a few on my own hard drive. But, I can't get into that at the minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 You don't need the old forum to get smilies, they be all over the net. We didn't have many that were Killie-specific anyway. It would just take time to find and copy them to the database here... ...see? Easy peasy lemon squeezy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bKb Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 they would help us to post without folk taking things so bloody seriously, it's only a fitba forum not the Oval Office. I find I can't express myself properly without them now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click the logo at the top of the forums it takes you to the front of the site. I had the code changed to do this previously but the template clearly reverted when I had to upgrade the version of the skin to the new version of the forum software. Its all a bit of a hit and a miss with this new stuff...the comments here help us see what if anything we've missed. I'll have a look at the smilies...I might do away with all the blue ones and just lump in anything else I can find. Or find a good all round set and we can install that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently trying to change the colours of the text on the header bar so its not white and you can see it. You have no idea the amount of options there are and it seems like even more when you don't know what you are looking for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bKb Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 no worries thanks Baz. what it is it works when not logged in but not when i'm on my personal activity stream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baz Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I've changed the code again and took some superfluous (I hope) bits and bobs out and it should go straight to the front page now. Fixed the text on the header as well so you can see it now and it highlights in yellow when hovering over it. Just need to find a one size fits all set of emoticons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
