It's ok I've merged the threads, glad to see so much positive feedback from people, one of the new features we have is a blog, feel free to start creating your own blogs about your latest builds etc, also you will have noticed the gallery has gone, I've still got all the pictures just trying to figure out how best to index them, the gallery has been replaced with your own albums which you access through the community drop down menu below the header

Hi John,

You asked to report any errors or issues so appologies if this is a known issue.

Some graphic images don't seem to download or be shown. For example your last posting, shows "John and Founder" but the image (could be an animated smiley gif) is only shown as a dreaded red cross. However, all Avatar's are shown. Hope this helps in anyway. Thanks again for the great new format.

Thanks can you first just try either pressing F5 and/or clearing your browser cache see if that fixes it

Sorry John, Cleared cache, history, temp int. files etc. and it still doesn't redraw the icons when refreshed. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or is it just me? If it is just me, please ignore the issue John. Thanks again.

While it always takes of ages to get the hang of something new, I have a couple of questions that may well be down to my computer ineptness! On the homepage, the list of posts is not shown in chronological order which is confusing & the posts themselves start with the most recent one & end with the original-shouldn't it be the other way around? Other than that, it's a massive improvement & I hope my questions aren't seen as whinges! Patrick

When you say home page do you mean the main portal page, www.scale-models.co.uk or the main forum page www.scale-models.co.uk/forum.php I'm still moving the main portal page around and adding content (if anyone want's to write something for it please let me know) so it might change quite a bit over the next days/weeks

edit: I think your on about the one's on the main forum? they update every 30 mins so they might not be up to date

Not sure what the problem could be then, if anyone else notices a problem please can you let me know

After browsing the new layout i must admit you have hit it spot on.

Index on left, latest post on right and reviews smack in the middle. The Google ads are even very unobtrusive. Not one single problem yet in firefox 3.5.5.

John, very nice upgrade on the site congrats and thanks for all your efforts

 

[stona]

I've been away (with cr*p connections 'til this afternoon) so have only just been able to have a good browse. Looks good to me and I do understand the hard work that goes into something like this! A big thanks and well done from me.

Incidentally,though I haven't noticed problems myself, it is both good and important that people are comfortable and confident to raise them. It all makes a great site better for everyone.
