The Fix List - lafinfil - 09-17-2008
Please state the specific problem or feature that you have problems with.
We are experiencing some growing pains here but be assured that admins are working through the issues.
Once we get the big problems solved we can address minor issues.
Thank you !

I'd like to see the text in the message creation box be larger (the box I typed in to make this post). It's much smaller and harder to read than the text when the message is submitted and posted. I think it should be the same size as the created message.

I believe that request #7 can be closed. It was addressed last night; the "Tips and Deals ---- 'Friendly' Political Ranting" is now above the posting box. I think that's where it was in the old forum.

Special characters e.g. accents are not working. See bell pepper thread.

In viewing a thread with 2-3 pages, the page indicators at the bottom right are too close to the edge of the window/scroll bar-- need some padding to push them back toward the center a bit.

Regarding the thread-level appearance, the post-level subject, user and date from the old layout (or the current dealmac layout) truly is more functional, even though there's extra text present (the "posted by" and "Date" labels.) The reason is because it manages to convey the information in a concise, space-saving way. Lotta "air gaps" now, and the little "person" icon (is that where an avatar would go?) needs to be deleted without a second thought. The date without the date label now blends in more with the post text at first glance.
PM and Ignore links are redundant. Make us click on the user's name to do that stuff.
"Goto" menu should be at the top of the thread page. Wait! It is! I missed it without the gray border. Still doesn't really need to ALSO be at the bottom of the threads.
Make sig text one or two points smaller than post text.
Regarding this post entry box: With only two options to click, can't they be placed side-by-side? The author/username is superfluous, unless there's been a widespread problem of users who think they are logged in as themselves but really they aren't?? If you keep it, consider also placing Subject to the right of it, not below.

Please DO NOT remove these. There is not an ignore feature when you click on the name, as far as I can see.

I'd be in favor of teaching forum users how to quickly and easily get to these less-used features in return for less clutter in each post. For example, if user didn't know to click on a user's name in order to PM them, they might not even know what a "PM" was in the first place, making the ever-present link useless anyway.
