My wife's iFad has a touch keyboard that does not show you whether it will type in upper or lower case. Its habit of capitalising the first word is a real PITA when you are entering usernames or passwords! It may well be an Apple thing but this 'new' forum is the only place it happens. New para gives a leading cap everywhere else i frequent including TB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwatch Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Do all gays and girls like pink? i like blue in this case, but I also like red, but not for a forum colour. i still like blue for the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. are you gay or a girl? - maybe you could throw some light on the matter. I learned the other day that blue and pink have only recently become the conventional colours for boys and girls - apparently it used to be the other way round. confirmed below: http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/10/pink-used-common-color-boys-blue-girls/ President FDR was a very pretty little girl!

Nightwatch Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm not a girl nor a gay chappy. i know girls of all ages and I know gay blokes and gay girlies. Just a question I asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john6767 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 What has happened to the default theme. It is not showing it in the list and the Shift theme, which is a disaster on iPad is the default. Can we have the original one back, preferable with a smaller logo at the top, but is unusable now.

Snap, ridiculous when you get offered a variation, aren't interested, and all of a sudden you get the variation anyway whether you like it or not, and have to find out from guruRoss how to get back to the one you were happy with anyway.

RichM Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thanks for the feedback. I posted an announcement last week of our intention to launch a new theme. Going further back to the upgrade last month, we advised from the onset that the upgrade would be a work in progress in that we would launch the update, review feedback and then implement improvements based on the feedback given. This enabled us to perform the mandatory upgrade quickly and we appreciate those who came along for the journey. We hope most people will enjoy the new theme but fully appreciate that some may prefer the previous theme. As such, you can revert back to the last one by clicking the "Theme" link at the bottom of the page, followed by selecting "Legacy". I would of course suggest giving the new one a try. - If you decide it's not your cup of tea, then of course you can revert back to the last theme. I think it's a given that we cannot possibly please everyone no matter how hard we try to do so but we hope to alleviate this to some extent by providing choice. We have also introduced other improvements based on user feedback. These are mentioned in my announcement posted here. Best, RichM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmr Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 "securing our future going forward" Feels like I am back at work rather than living on a historic waterway, can we not have a plain English policy, or at least stick to jargon like uxter plates and lock hobblers?. ............Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtB Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Some here might suggest the upgrade could be better described as "sabotaging our future going forward"... Not that this is my opinion, obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHutch Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Sorry if you don't like the wording Dave, I added that line, but ultimately myself and Rich along with the other staff are doing what we can to provide the best forum we can. The feedback to us was clear the new skin was an overall improvement andthat they preferred the behaviour of the previous 'veiw new content' to the new 'veiw unread content', but further more people felt it was important that the defaults where the improved version, both for new and less tech savvy members. That is what we have decided to put in place and the change you have seen today. However we also respect some members will have got used to the earlier theme, and so we have retained that as an option. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murflynn Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 we used to have post reference nos. which were useful when referring back to a relevant post. these seem to have disappeared. to be of any use they would need to be visible to all (not just an option).

I agree I would find them more or less essential in the long run. They help you to find the post you want to comment on and often just referring to the post number prevents a lot of copy and pasting.
