New forum! Post bugs & errors in here *CHECK FIRST POST FOR ISSUES FIRST - P.S. THE MM IS OPEN*

With his permission of course, I think you should make Thesnipergecko's changes permanent, and then build from there.

The difference is staggering when you turn it on and off while viewing a thread!

There is an issue with your theme though Thesnipergecko, the tags at the top overlap the title in smaller windows. Doesn't happen when un-skinned.

I gave my permission in my first post. OcUK can take it and do what they want with the CSS.

The error is not with my code it's with thread titles being too long (I'll see what I can do)

And using software full of security holes from 2003 wasn't? Give it a chance, it's been active for 12 hours!!!

No. We gave the shop a chance and it sucks still.

Needs a bit of work visually but it's functional at least.

I don't think my posts are missing, but only the ones before September are visible in "Your Content"

I also can't search for posts before today and back to September last year. Did the indexing get stuck perhaps?

 

[Housey]

I am struggling to me search work as it used to

This will been down purely to my lack of talent of course, but it's confusing my fragile little mind.

So how best to try the new themes that have been created, do you have to install some other 3rd party software?

 

[something daft already!!]

How do I change my DP?

 

[LambChop]

This forum's so ******* ugly even rice crispies doesnt talk to it.

I'd say OCUK have a better idea of what's going on with the shop site than you do. If they'd noticed a drop in takings, site visits and page impressions thanks to the makeover, don't you think they'd have changed back? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not been a success for them.

Yes, you need to install 'stylish' for them to work.

Ah yes, the site design is universally hated in the forums yet our sizeable anecdote is not statistically significant across a wide margin of people.

Or, OcUK staff are British and stubborn.

I do design - the main site is terrible for usability, objectively.

Did you make the new forum? You seem very upset that others don't like it. And yes, the shop website does still suck.

Don't be silly this is OcUK forums where everyone knows everything and anyone who disagrees is quite obviously wrong and stupid...I still dislike the shop site though.

 

[Arazi]

I HATE IT! I'M LITERALLY SHAKING OCUK YOU RUINED MY LIFE.

I couldn't even find the log in button for a good minute or two.

Haha same here

I don't think I've bought one item from OcUK since the shop changes, mainly because of the design. It's just so awful to browse.

Yeah, pretty much the same. Usability is terrible.

I'm pretty sure Daphne and Celeste wrote a song about these new forums 17 years in advance!

You ain't go no alibi!

 

[Thesnipergecko]

Let's not forget they provide these forums and upgrades for free people. I can only imagine the bandwidth costs it would accumulate to run a forum this size. Things are a little different at the moment but give it time and I'm sure things with either adapt to how they were or you will get used to the new way the forum looks/works.

People don't seem to appreciate how much hardwork and man hours go into making/maintaining websites/forums.

Yes, it's only taken me a few hours to throw together a bit of CSS to tweak the design, but that comes with 20 years experience from my line of work.
