Happy New Year to all!!!!!

And, great job on the boards - looks good.
;D

I wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR, too.

I actually tried to write this in the early morning hours of Jan, 1st.....and did so....but the forum didn't let me post a new message at all.
It greeted me with the new look, but didn't recognize me any longer (though I was always logged in for keeps). So I re-logged in, after which it knew who I was, but I still couldn't post. Don't ask me why.

Today I dropped by (using my usual (old) link) and everything seems to work again.
BUT: I always had my MM-forum starting-page set up in such a fashion that it showed me the latest 25 or 30 posts written. This was gone, too. And still is!
And I don't seem to be able to remember where one can make this setting. (I DO remember that it wasn't very obvious the first time around either.....it is somewhat hidden I guess, back then I think it was Brell who hipped me to it. A really helpful feature, BTW.)

I'm quite surprised by the new appearance (navy green, smaller print), it seems you guys are doing much work even after the maintenance closure is over. I'm not absolutely sure about the color, but that is a matter of taste.

If you did change other things that go beyond pure design questions, it might be a great idea if you could publish a small list of what they are and what we should keep in mind.

You're doing a really great job for our small community....thanks a lot for that.

This feature is still there at the bottom left. Only now you choose how many of the last posts you want to see.

Yeah, I know that. But it used to be possible to have it set in such a way that whenever I clicked on my bookmark (for the MM forum) it automatically showed me (as starting page) the last 30 posts.

I checked the links (I bookmarked then and now):
The old one used to be:
http://www.actionsoft.com/forums/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=recent;display=30

And the new one is called:
http://www.actionsoft.com/forums/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=recent
(no matter if you chose a setting of 10 or 25 posts first - it always says only

recent

).
I tried to manually add: 

;display=25

behind recent....   but clicking that bookmark still results in only the last 10 posts being shown - with or without

display=25

.

You don't happen to have an idea what the problem could be??
I fear that is has something to do with the update and/or maintenance of the YaBB software ?!?

Happy New Year everyone! I love the idea of a new featured mansion every week. Great job to whoever came up with that idea and is maintaining it!

All honour is for Anthony. Both the idea and the realisation of the picture-shortcut to the downloadpage are from him.

In the YaBB Administration Center of our boards I could change the maximum number of posts to 30. But it doesn't seem to be possible any more to get it set.

Was and still is on my TO DO list. But to be honest, previous days I was busy with the second area of Oline's Coffeehouse. Gets tested for the time being.

Great..... thanks, Freddy.
Take all the time you need...... it noh hurry.   

About the programmable

display recent 30

feature..... well, too bad if it really shouldn't be programmable any longer.
That used to save a lot of clicks.

Now I'll probably miss a few new posts on days where there's much new post traffic...... unless I remember to go to

Home

first and then to the bottom left and set it to 25 (each time).

You know...I'm lazy.....    :o

Happy New Year everyone! And great job on the switch over to the Admins.

Aquamat, you don't have to go to the Home page. On each page I see at the bottom the Forum jump and select 10 most recent posts. Scrolling down if they are all new, I then go to the web page bar and change 10 to 20 or 30 to see all of the new posts. Hope that works for you.
