Head on over to the test site, and check the new "Easy-Nav(tm)" tab bar ...

url removed, as now installed

Post if it floats your boat, ruins your world, or anything in between...

Do the tweaks include a fix to the positioning of these things?
Because it still happens that when I type out a reply and then later decide to put in the pictures so the less interlectually endowed can follow the story, then all the pictures end up at the end of the message and I have to cut and paste them into the appropriate places.
If this continues much longer then I will have to ask for my money back.

Now to include the pictures,..

See? It's still doing it.
That does it!
Please send me a refund cheque for 100,000,000 dollars right now.
And no I can't wait for you to collect the 100 million from the Lotto jackpot.
Just take it out on your credit card and you can put it back in when you win.

love the easy nav tab bar!
Saves going to an extra screen to see if there's anything new on the other forums.

Yep like it.
However really liked the feature that was taken off ages ago where you could go to the next or previous topic without having to go back to the topic list screen.
Cheers

Great stuff.

Aussiex: Shall investigate the HTC issue

Pweedas: "all the pictures end up at the end of the message" ... I think if you click in the text box where you want the text inserted before you click the upload button, it will insert the text at the last caret (cursor) position.

sausage: "but can you add the "new" icon on the bar .." .. great idea, will see what can be done...

gregwed: "next or previous topic" .. It would .. it got dropped because (although it seems simple enough), the calculation of next/prev topic was bringing the server to a grinding halt .. it is on the ever expanding wish list to have it return...

I'm not talking about pictures. I mean the smilies on the left hand side. Like this,...
test test test,.. and so on.
And now more text text text and more text.
And furthermore, I say,.. blah blah blah,.
And now I need to add some smilies at the end of each line so that the kiters can understand the text.
Placing cursor at the end of FIRST line now, and the cursor jumps back to end of message, which is now here, and smiley goes here, not at the end of first line.
Now placing cursor at the end of SECOND line and clicking smiley but cursor jumps to end of message, which is now here when I click on smiley.
No matter where I put the cursor, when I click on a smiley the cursor jumps to end of message and inserts smiley at end of message.
Does anyone else have this problem? I'm using everything in the same way I always did.
It happens on both my compudas, both using IE8 on WIndows xp
It only started doing this since the day of the recent upgrade.

On samsung note 90% fit but from time to time odd topic thread goes wide. Iphonography on the general discussion page is doing it at the moment.

Not what you're asking about but may as well mention it...

On my acer android tablet, running either the default browser or dolphin; the blue part of the top menu bar ends half way through the word shop, and help is not visible just a vertical black line at each end of the button. The menus all work great though with touch, much better than the old site.
