New Forum Version

Here's what I found uncomfortable. Only 10 items are displayed per page. Can increase to 20? This will make it easier to search.

Private message's are red on black and black on red..... both very hard to read can I change my end or you change main settings on colours ?
edit the update overall is a good thing

Can you post a screenshot? I don't see this.

old forum had a “what’s new” search on the menu, now i see that we have “today’s posts” and “new topics”. If i don’t read the forum every day, how can i see what was written 2/3 days ago? (New posts)

I will figure out how to get us back to a What's New feature, including more than 10 results. Be patient, it may take a day or 3.

[Carl-NC]

Thanks David, that's a feature I've never used. Colors are fixed.

When you add an image attachment to a post you have the options of Thumbnail, Small, Medium, Large, and Fullsize. No matter which one you choose, you can dynamically stretch the image after it is placed in the editor and make it any size you want. The image stretch maintains the proper aspect ratio. This new feature alone will save me a lot of time getting images the right size.

I think we all need to learn the best way to use new style... but it is a massive improvement over the old one not complaining more suggesting this a better ... LOL

I apologize for going a little off topic. But this is like a bolt from the blue for me! This new forum look. I still can't adjust my eyes to all this!
A lot of things are not the same, and for 16 years I have been looking at one forum layout. Ugh...
",,,I have browsed around a little and it looks like everything converted over properly. Please let me know if you see anything missing or rendered incorrectly.,,,"
Too many things are new and tough to accept so fast and easy. But here is something, the degree symbol is shown as "?":

Carl that is educational info and will help a lot.

P.S.
Ok, switching to "Geotech style" makes bit a difference.
Oh Carl... this is tough!
My eyes hurts for real!
A wise man once said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"!

Cool! You corrected it.

[David_1]

so the red and black problem went away after I changed the style setting to Geotech style

I only fixed it in the Geotech style. I have not touched the "vB5 Original" style.

[Carl-NC]

Cool! You corrected it.

What did I fix?

You don't see it on the screenshot?
The same I reported on another topic.
Ok...
I spent too much time on this, time to move on.

The GBP, U.S. dollar, degree, copyright and pi special characters are not being accepted. It just posts a blank reply.

I think you are talking about the contrast between an inserted pic and the screen background. There is always a chance that an image has the same background color as the screen, especially when posting a screen capture. The only fix I can think of is to place a border around the image, like a black box. I can look into that. In your post above it looks different because it's in a quote box, which has a darker background.
