HI,

a nice option would be BLACK text except the light blue one on the main forums site. It's to hard to read for those 30J old men like me ;-)

Its probably been brought up already so I apologise, but I miss the link back to a forum menu at the bottom of a post!

Ha! I noticed that and corrected it - our posts clashed.

Keith, While I was pondering how to respond to your post,Stonk beat me to it! However he got one crucial word wrong.
Stonk said "and be automatically taken to the newest post he hasn't already read" Whereas I'd like to be automatically taken to the oldest post I haven't already read!

BTW Stonk, Nice nostrills!

No 'sort posts' doesn't achieve what he means. He would like to click on a thread that he has previously visited and be automatically taken to the first post added since his last visit - just like the old forum used to.

Bit like trying to explain the offside rule isn't it!! (for the benefit of our USA members, that's a rule in soccer)

Andy,

Surely you already have that option under "Sort Posts" at the top of the posts.

Hi Lee. I know you have six million things to do and that you need to prioritise, but the tweak I'm looking forward to most is new posts. Being able to go to the oldest unread post and not the newest. I'm getting RSI in my scrolling finger! Hope this is high on your list.

We will try, but please bear in mind this isn't the old BeoWorld !! It's a different site with a completely different layout and format.

Its rather like trying to Make your new Mercedes look like your old BMW..

9 LEE:
Does anyone have any comments by the way?

Lee

With regards to

Double Spacing when you hit Return - This will be looked at, and single return will be implemented if possible.

This should be easy because the forum uses HTML and by default it uses <p></p> at the start and end of each line.

However if you just us <br> at the end of each line it provides a single line.

By pressing the HTML button, you can change yourself.

There is actually a Beo-Mac Forum on here, and also a Beo-PC forum...

I use both machines, so you can't accuse me of bias!

However, i will say in defence of Mac users, that when something just "works" and is a pleasure to use then you cannot help but to tell people about it. What do you think BeoWorld is all about !!

However, i can see that it must get a little tiring if people constantly repeat the same thing time and time again, as this was how i felt before i got a Mac.

As i said, i use both, so don't flame me!!!

Any chance we can have an Apple / Mac / ıPod /Airport site?

I would really like it if anyone wrote anything in a threat containing these words in the General Forum, that it would be automatically moved and filed to their own forum (God knows how many there are on the web) and not clutter up this forum.

Us purists (I think there may be one or two of us out there somewhere), have a huge difficulty trying to read through this forum trying to find one or two topics on Bang & Olufsen (you know...that quaint esoterical hi-fi manufacturer that borrows all it's ideas from that company Mr Jobs gets backdated share options from).

Thank you for your consideration.

Well done Lee and Van. And all seems to have done whilst I was asleep! Congratulations on the tweaks already done.
