Please fix the buttons in the PM section..... When looking at your PMs, the 'Delete' and 'Reply' buttons are run right together, and one could easily delete a PM that one wishes to reply to.......... EDIT.....as are many other buttons....... Such as the 'post to thread' and 'subscribe' at the top of each thread, and the 'reply' and 'quote' at the bottom of each post.........

Don't like it either, grumble, grumble. Per Eric, David Anderson has made changes in the forum looks in the past. Such as the blue squares around the quote portions.So hopefully, when he is made aware of this issue, it will be corrected. Should he be the one that did it this time of course.

I think the last round of forum appearance changes were nice....... But you would think that they could catch something this obvious before going live with it......oh well.....Seti is the Boinc test platform again....LOL.

I find it very hard to read the buttons when they are not buttons but just words run together. What you do today you will have to live with tonight ID: 812161 ·

All the words are in a row instead of a small case...I think now it is more difficult to use them. It is certainly not an improvement!?!? Strange !! ID: 812176 ·

Maybe a missing semicolon in the colour script. But iÃ‚Â´m wondering why they allways implement such things before weekend. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. ID: 812187 ·

I've raised ticket #740 about this. So all we can do now is raise a ruckus...........these thing should really be a bit more tested before taking them live.......

I think you know my opinion about this not being tested first on the BOINC board, no need to repeat that. Besides, I remember well what happened the last time I allowed myself to express my opinion about this. So yes, you learn, so now I just perceive that they have mucked up the board again and then I let it go. I noticed the changed before I went to sleep, so it was implemented last night some time.

The developer has already responded in detail to the ticket as you can see if you follow or refresh the link: The white.css file on seti does not include the changes from changeset 16047. Only the code was deployed there - not the new layout for the buttons. Thanks for the quick explanation. I'll post it to that thread and let's hope the seti@home forum configuration can be sorted out 'soon'! ID: 812214 ·

In this case there should have been no visible change at all (although the buttons in IE6/7 should now have a colour closer to that of other browsers). At the same time pages should load slightly faster and use slightly less internet bandwidth. Unfortunately someone missed the file that describes the new button look when copying over the changes from BOINC SVN. This will be fixed shortly, I'm sure. [Edit:] As a little warning for the future, the underlying code for the buttons may be changed once more to allow for better display in text-mode-only browsers and screenreaders. Again this should not affect the visual display in most other browsers. ID: 812220 ·
