Opinion On Forum Style

[Head Surfer]

If you use the "Classic" forum style, please read this. If you use the default style (Appraisers Forum 2015) please disregard.

I have done some work lately on our default style titled Appraisers Forum 2015. I have separated the posts with a bar as well as made the text larger and and easier to read. To me this default style is much easier on the eyes than the Classic style.

It would be a favor to me if you would switch your style from Classic to Appraisers Forum 2015 and use it for a while and give me your honest opinion on the changes I made. To make the switch scroll down to the bottom left of your screen and click on "Classic" which will bring up the style chooser. After using the Appraisers Forum 2015 style long enough to evaluate it and give me your opinion you can then switch back to Classic if you choose.

One reason I am doing this is that the Classic style has not been updated by the author in quite a while and the base forum software will soon be undergoing an upgrade. I just want to be prepared in case the Classic style don't work properly after the upgrade. In other words I want to make the default style as user friendly as possible in the event that happens.

I have previously asked a few members who used the Classic style for their opinions of the changes in the Appraisers Forum 2015 style and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

Thank you for your time and for your forum participation!

I must have opted for the Classic back when you did the forum change over.

I'll give the 2015 style a shot, the font is foreign (unlike an old friend) but something I could get used to.

That's strange, the font looks the same to me, the only difference is the the 2015 font is a little larger.

Hmmm...you are correct. Same font....it looks 'thinner'...did the word doc copy/paste to compare...then a couple of comparison screen shots....I agree, must be a bit bigger in the 2015.

I like the new format.
Still can't get it to work for me in firefox, but I gave up trying, as it works in explorer.

Overall I like it better than the old format.

How come we can't delete old conversations from the PM box?

As for Firefox, I use it almost exclusively and no problems with the forum. Must be something on your system.

As for deleting conversations, put a check box beside the ones you want to remove and select "leave conversation" from the popup.
