Only a test

[Freddy]

Thx for your constructive reply. But I am afraid you have to keep in mind that my knowledge is rather limited concerning this stuff.

Like I did understand it, on the homepage the images of

the folder

and

new or not new posts

needed to be changed together. So, it is either the 2.1- or the 2.2-look. I prefer the new 2.2-look, but I must agree with e.g. aquaMat that it has an important disadvantage. Whith the 2.1-style, when scrolling down the whole MMF, one sees IMMEDIATELY where the new posts are. While with the 2.2, one has to stop scrolling a few times, to be able to know if there are new posts.

I really don't know if the images can be replaced by others. E.g. keeping the new look for the folders and adding something completely else to show the difference between new and old posts. Although no orange circles, IMO. Maybe Joe will later find an answer on that question. Anyway, I do hope so.

I am seeing the NEW icon at the beginning of quite a few posts throughout the board tonight and some are from way back to last January. Has something gone awry? [smiley=huh.gif]

Have you been gone for awhile or not on the forums? The admins and Vern worked hard to get the newer version of forum software! Yes, there where some changes. The icon is new in the default template/theme of the forum, but on the MMF template/theme the icons telling you if new posts are in or not has been changed back. Why? Because it animated when there where posts in on default template/theme. When you where scrolling down, you couldn't see if a new post was in at a glance. With the icon orange, you can see it clearly and it stands out so you know just like that.

Does this answer your question or where you talking about a different icon?

I'm new to the boards, Wingy, and missed out on most of the conversion discussions. This is what I was referring to. Thanks for your comments.

I don't think there is anything wrong Jackie. When one is new on our forums, the software

knows

that you haven't seen ANY of all topics, and tells you that they are

new

for you.

It would be worse if it keeps on telling you that those topics are new AFTER you had a look at them. If THAT is the matter, please tell us!

You are right, of course, Freddy. I had read the messages before in Guest mode so when I started logging in they all turned up as New. Duhhhhhh! :-[
