Looks nice and seems to work ok. Well done with the upgrade guys.

Great job guys. Looks great! I'll be on the lookout for any quirks.

Edit: Whoa. It's a whole lot faster than before too.

There's lots of new things on this as well. Well worth a fiddle

Search function is now back to full power (might still be doing some calculations, but will be a matter of hours before it's spot on.)

PMs are also much easier, especially if you've got a lot.

Embedding is also improved. For instance, videos, simply post the URL

Like this...w.w.w.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2fhVnTuxv4..

I really like improved unread posts option, makes it a lot easier to keep up with what is going on, thanks again.

SO much easier to find the threads you've posted on...awesome.

One strange thing: the timestamp is off by a few hours??

Robert,

You can adjust the way the time and date are displayed in this forum by clicking on the Profile option on the top of the forum and then adjust the time and date preferences when you click on 'look and layout' option on the left hand side of the profile menu. The current forum time is set to GMT if you do not adjust your preferences as listed above. I hope this helps you out.

Richard

You can set your timezone preference in your Profile page (top menu bar)

Server time is in CST, but will be displayed with your own offset.

Looks very nice. I first noticed it when I checked on STS-124 status on my PDA at work and noticed the new format is VERY PDA-friendly! I'll update my bookmarks to stay on top of all the new posts!

Time is off by an hour... I am in EDT (-4) but it's saying it is 343pm -- my clock says 243pm.

Yup...I had to set -7 for MDT, which is what it is for MST. Also, auto-detect doesn't account for (automatically or manually) daylight savings time.

I think the image in the top-left, with the NSF logo, should be a link to the home page.

ShuttleDiscovery · « **Reply #36 on:** 05/25/2008 06:49 pm »

There is a big dark blue space up on the top right. Could something be done with that to make it look more interesting?

Yeah, it'll be for an advertiser
