Forum Software Upgrade

[Koc]

please, make search work ASAP.

Also I propose use old style of links http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96722&p=2 instead of http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthrea...-Upgrade/page2

I would suggest to add the code box icons to the quick reply. We have too often that user post code without these boxes which make posts unreadable.

Please make 'black' text in forum posting really black. Now it's #333333, which makes it much harder to read (if you read a lot) as contrast is too low.

Same for the 'blue' in threadlist titles. Now it's #0464BB, too bright.

I can see that you want a nice looking forum, but I think the readability should be maintained. As above mentioned by other posters, the yellow/blue contrast is too low as well. Not everybody works with a LCD with very high brightness/contrast settings.

This layout works very well for a large monitor, but for a 15" 1440x900 (Macbook pro), there is an aweful lot of scrolling required to see stuff.

Why is search hidden?

[steffenk]

The users box miss informations was visible before, like
#number of posts
#registered since ...
#users location

The first one is an important info imho

[jay@moduscreate.com]

Not a huge fan of the profile info on the side. The width for our content is now reduced considerably.

[steffenk]

there is space beside the avatar could be small font.

These infos shows if a user is a newbie, important for help. Also it raises the community feeling which i miss quite often here, but this is another story.

[edit 3]
oooh, also missing the total number of posts made by a user (previously found somewhere under the user's avatar)

[edit 4]
core.css appears to still be missing after the forum upgrade:


[edit 5]
also missing the old "Users currently viewing this thread" section at the bottom of every thread

+1 for this. I used this all of the time to keep up with the newest posts from ALL forums.
