New Messageboard is now live
Welcome to the new messageboard on a new host. Initial testing has been completed and the board is ready for you to use. You should find that all topics, posts, images etc from the old board are available now. Still being worked on are additional features such as Active Topics and Avatars. These worked in the test board, so it's just a question of updating some settings, but I wanted you to be able to use the main features as soon as possible.
I will post some guides on using the new features in due course. In the meantime, if you find anything that is not quite right, then please email me simon dot mitchell at mmoc.org.uk
Enjoy the board.

Have to confess to that being a slight surprise this afternoon!
But so far so good, it even allowed me to post this...
Do you think it likely that the colour scheme will get updated, or is this it? (I'm sure there are far more important things, so tell me to jog on if you like ;) )

We did announce it last week on the old board and confirm that it was due today. We want to avoid any changes for at least a few days to make sure that everything is settled.Bowie69 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 3:10 pm Have to confess to that being a slight surprise this afternoon!

Re: New Messageboard is now live
I cannot be the only one that thinks that the font size is terrible and the colour differences between the letters and the background (black on blue) makes reading of the the text difficult.

Font sizewise, Ctrl+Shift and two prods on the + sign does it for me.

Theme changes are later, as above

Re: New Messageboard is now live
Done the font size but the black on blue does not make for easy reading.
Re: New Messageboard is now live
No promises, but if you had a free choice, what colours (text and background) would you like as default? I suspect that there will be many different answers to this question.

Re: New Messageboard is now live
Well done for getting us moved over.
I understand that you want to let things settle for a while, before changing colour schemes and restoring the MMOC logo.
However I have to agree with Phil on the default font size being too small at present.
Perhaps the default setting could be changed to size 12, for example?
I changed mine manually, to the next size up on the 'sliding scale' we have access to when typing posts but, as you can see, this (large) would now be a bit too large for everyday use.....
Best wishes,
Mike.

Re: New Messageboard is now live
It's black on very pale blue on my monitor which is fine for me.
I find black on white produces too much bright glare and after a while makes the eyes tired.
Have those that find the default bad tried adjusting the contrast on their monitor?
Or are you all using phones which IMO are unsuitable at the best of times!
PS - well done admins, a great improvement over the old version

Re: New Messageboard is now live
Must be me , when I read a new post ( highlighted in red in the ‘ circle ) shouldn’t it then revert to blue !! Am I doing something wrong
Re: New Messageboard is now live
Just tried this - I think you have to reload the front page for it to register and turn blue? Worked for me.Shropshiremoggie wrote: ↑Sun Feb 27, 2022 12:46 pm Must be me , when I read a new post ( highlighted in red in the ‘ circle ) shouldn’t it then revert to blue !! Am I doing something wrong
Question I have is can you rotate photos you post- just posted a portrait photo and it displays landscape?

Re: New Messageboard is now live
This is frustrating , reading posts but they still stay ‘ red ‘ . I must be doing something wrong — but what ?
