New version coming in the next few weeks. Minor cosmetic and performance improvements. After upgrade, we will look at changing the way ratings are done.

EDIT: Just did the upgrade. What the heck.

I now have indented boxes with X's  and N's and it all looks wierd....

Don't like it...

Something has gone terribly wrong Rossssssss!

I'm  afraid... I'm    going... to   ..... Jump....

When in danger, when in doubt... run in circles.. Scream and shout!
Parent - By jrw159 (*****) Date 01-22-2010 18:58
Same problem here. WTF!! LOL
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-22-2010 18:58
Don't worry, Ross is here, he'll fix it. Looks like I need to set it up to look for pretty icons someplace. Everything else seems OK, so far. Can't wait to try some new features.
Parent - By ross (***) Date 01-22-2010 18:59
The N is new and the U is unread, I guess. Pictures would be better, though.
Parent - - By welderbrent (*****) Date 01-22-2010 20:17
Ross,

Are we going to be able to see names?  You know... at the top of a post, so we know who's post we are reading and responding to.

I did just notice that when I am in the 'reply' area the name of the poster I am responding to shows up.

Have a Great Day,  Brent
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-22-2010 20:19
You don't see poster's name?
Parent - - By jwright650 (*****) Date 01-22-2010 20:21
Nope......no names whatsoever, anywhere on the forum. Titles to each forum is there, but no icons.
Parent - By ross (***) Date 01-22-2010 20:26
My name isn't above my post? No date either? Is my photo there?
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-22-2010 20:29
In your options, what is selected for "Style?"

Ross
Parent - By jwright650 (*****) Date 01-22-2010 21:08
Default
Parent - - By Lawrence (*****) Date 01-22-2010 20:26
Along with not seeing the poster's name... If you click on the red X  where the name should be,,, Nothin happins.
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-22-2010 20:27
Can you log out and log in again? Thanks.

Ross
Parent - - By Lawrence (*****) Date 01-22-2010 21:00
Logged out/in... tame ting
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-22-2010 21:05
OK, I wasn't seeing the problems cause it only happens with Internet Explorer. Will. fix.

Ross
Parent - By jrw159 (*****) Date 01-22-2010 22:37
Ross,
  It is messed up when using Firefox as well. I do not even get the letter designations.

jrw159

EDIT: There is a letter designation on my new post. Still not good. :-(
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-22-2010 20:46
OK, just tried with Internet Explorer and I see what you all mean. Will fix.

Ross
Parent - - By jwright650 (*****) Date 01-22-2010 21:06
the Avatars do work.
Parent - By ctacker (****) Date 01-23-2010 17:45
not mine, it got deleted,lol
Parent - - By Lawrence (*****) Date 01-22-2010 21:22
Also when we have responses to messages listed on the top of the page and we click on it.. instead of the hyperlink directing us right to the response it only goes to the top of the thread...
Parent - By jrw159 (*****) Date 01-23-2010 13:51
What Lawrence said, still that way.
Parent - By DaveBoyer (*****) Date 01-23-2010 03:17
Us hilbillies don't like change.
Parent - By welderbrent (*****) Date 01-23-2010 16:51
I wasn't on line for a while when you responded to my question.  Weather here has been messing up our internet.  Others took it up very well.

What I also noticed was a new color to designate what post one responded to.  I like it. 

Have a Great Day,  Brent
Parent - By Tommyjoking (****) Date 01-23-2010 18:44
"I now have indented boxes with X's  and N's and it all looks wierd...."

I had the same problem at first......I just chalked it up to a bad batch of beer.
Parent - - By Metarinka (****) Date 01-23-2010 03:21
now that's change I can believe in.

what fancy new software is this?
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-23-2010 03:26
That's a funny sig, Met.

Think I've got it working now, except the stars aren't loading but I know how to fix that. If anybody is still having problems, log off, then on again, and tell me if it's still all messed up.

Ross
Parent - - By ctacker (****) Date 01-23-2010 03:43
logged out, back in, same damn thing again, the red X and ratings look screwed up
Parent - - By ctacker (****) Date 01-23-2010 03:44
dont care for the advertisements either, and you only go to the top post of the thread when looking for unread posts
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-23-2010 03:59
Ctacker,

What method are you using to look for unread posts?

Ross
Parent - - By ctacker (****) Date 01-23-2010 04:01
by going into a topic and clicking the unread posts button!
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-23-2010 04:05
Ctacker,

What does the unread posts button look like? I am not sure what that is.

Ross
Parent - - By ctacker (****) Date 01-23-2010 04:11
same as the info, add topic and all other links at the top of the page. (its not actually a button, just a hyperlink)
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-23-2010 04:23
Ctacker,

Make sure your bookmark to the forum is http://www.aws.org/cgi-bin/mwf/forum.pl
not http://www.aws.org/cgi-bin/mwf/forum_show.pl

That's what marks what you have previously read and makes the unread posts function work right.

Ross
Parent - - By ctacker (****) Date 01-23-2010 05:35
I log in from the AWS homepage!
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-23-2010 14:18
OK, that's good.
Parent - - By ctacker (****) Date 01-23-2010 17:44
not when the homepage takes you to http://www.aws.org/cgi-bin/mwf/forum_show.pl
I put in the other but it keeps going back to this!
Parent - By ross (***) Date 01-23-2010 17:49
That's working the way it's supposed to. Don't worry. The trouble you are having with going to the top of the topic instead of to the specific post is something bad in the upgrade installation that I am working to fix.

Ross
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-25-2010 15:40
OK, this is fixed now. Takes you to the proper post.

Ross
Parent - By 522029 (***) Date 01-26-2010 01:04
Good job Ross.

Griff
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-23-2010 03:49
Do you see the names of the posters?

Ross
Parent - - By ctacker (****) Date 01-23-2010 03:52
yes, I see the names!
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-23-2010 03:53
Thanks. Then the red X is where the stars should be? The stars are MIA at this point, but does it look fairly OK otherwise?

Ross
Parent - By ctacker (****) Date 01-23-2010 03:55
fairly, Im old tho , and don't like change :)
Parent - By ctacker (****) Date 01-23-2010 03:57
hen i click notifications, it only goes to the top of the thread!

Yes, red X is where stars go, stars next to red X ****
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-23-2010 04:07
When I said the stars are missing, I should have said diamonds. That's what I meant.

Ross
Parent - - By Stephan (***) Date 01-23-2010 17:42
Ross,

I beg your forgiveness, but I'm still confused.

Saying: "When I said the stars are missing, I should have said diamonds."

Does this mean the little 'stars' to be seen now, will future replace the 'diamonds'?

Have I overlooked something..?

Cheers,
Stephan
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-23-2010 17:51
No, when I get back to the office Monday I have to re-add the diamond graphics to the system. We'll have ugly *'s until then.

Ross
Parent - By Stephan (***) Date 01-23-2010 17:58
Thanks for the info Ross!

A bunch of work to do as it seems to me, but no one better than you to cope with!

Stephan

P.S. You should propose this action to the National Geographic for their "A REAL BIG FIX IN WELDING!" :-)
Parent - - By ctacker (****) Date 01-23-2010 03:53
my avatar Disappeared too
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 01-23-2010 03:57
That's weird that your avatar disappeared. I see other ones. Your profile says you don't have one. Is that possible?
