I Like the new look and the go to the top button....

Probably a few more things in there that I haven't seen yet....



Seems a bit slower navigating around though....

All in all.... yep./... I like it .

Good job PG folks

A lot of small changes that, combined, really modernize the look of the forum. But, it's not just the forum. Go to the support pages or sign into your sales account and you'll see the forum is actually one of the last spots to be updated.

My guess is they are getting prepared for the Christmas crush since many users only seem to visit the website when the (estimated) time for the new release draws near.

One issue I've noticed already is if you quote a large amount of text on a post, the Submit button is scrolled off the bottom of the browser window. Hitting F11 to remove the top bar doesn't seem to help. I replicated in Edge, Firefox, and Chrome.

Steve,

You might want to drop Callie, Andrew, Kent or one of the other PG Music folks a note to let someone at PG Music aware. They might not see your post.

I notice that if I use the Quote button to reply to a post and then click in the edit window, it hides the vertical scroll bar. I'm not sure if that is a new thing but it's strange that it would do that, will fix.

Lots of posts talking about changes to the forum. All I see is the addition of a sticky menu bar at the top. What am I missing?

Same here, John. I haven't noticed anything else than that.

Edit: Oh, I just found the "go to the top" thing.

It looks great!

I think an indicator for threads that we have responded to would be a great addition.

The preview popup is also broken. If you hover over the link to a post it used to popup a window with the text of the start of the post. Now it pops up raw HTML. So something's not quite right there.

Andy,
I just noticed that a couple minutes ago and passed it on to PGMusic via chat.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed. smile

Thanks for fixing the quote issue Andrew!

Another feature I'm liking is that it is marking a thread read when I hit the back button after I read it.

Before I would have to refresh the page of the forum I was in to see what I read.

Looks good and works better. Working better is more important to me, the looks are a bonus.

Confirmed.
I had to use CTRL + F5 to reload it, but it did end up looking right.
Thanks.
