Broithe Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 What options would you like / think relevant? The new look is the sites ' branding' as such, the only other option would be to have additional colours? The change has also added a matching Mobile theme To be honest, I don't really care, but it does seem to matter a lot to some people - it was a cause of great debate on my other forum and a few options seemed to satisfy people.

BosKonay Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 will have a look and see if there is a high contrast option! Quote
Dunluce Castle Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I'm loving the new look, very nice and modern! Well done. Just an observation tho there seem to be something behind the "Irish railway modeller" title in the upper right hand corner I think it says "forums" is this deliberate or a mistake? Quote
BosKonay Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 Thanks Dunluce! The forum is the first button - but there should be enough space? What resolution or device are you browsing on> Quote
Grambit Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I was trying to sort out an internet connection at home this evening on our iPad and went onto irm as I figured it was a site that she'd never visit. Internet is fine, the other website was the problem. Anyway, I couldn't access the resources section either. It seems that the IRM logo is covering both the 'forum' and 'resources' buttons on our iPad. The buttons are there, it's just the logo takes precedence. I checked it on my phone and there doesn't seem to be an option for that, but I'll have another look. Grambit Quote
GSR 800 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 This doesn't happen on my laptop or computer, only on the smaller devices like my iPad or phone Quote
BosKonay Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 It sounds like it's the device screen width impacting it. Will check it out. Thanks guys!! Quote
DiveController Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Yes, I just realized there is a problem on my iPhone too. Hadn't noticed until now as I have been selecting new posts rather than looking for a forum. Quote
BosKonay Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 Your iPhone should see the mobile theme which is customized for mobile devices? Quote
DiveController Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I'm on irishrailwaymodeller.com. Should I be on m.irish.... Or something? Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 You should be on some kind of medication Diver, but thats something for a different thread Quote
DiveController Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Could say the same after those MkIIIs, Dave. Not sure what prompted that? Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Its an attempt at humour, something that has been missing from the site for a while By the way the Mk 111's are kosher Lima/MM ones There seemed to be a couple of different shades around Quote
Broithe Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 There seemed to be a couple of different shades around What happened to the other thirty eight shades? Quote

It's all good! Genuine all right but yes more than one even back then. Still looking for a couple more and that restaurant you're holding for me. Quote
Glenderg Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Bosko, Thanks for returning the activity.PHP "what's new" module Quote
Horsetan Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys - any glitches or anything just update here let me know! Check out the new Mobile theme too the next time you are on your phone... New look is grand, but noticed a couple of things: I generally have three methods of access: PC, i-Pad/tablet, or Android phone (Xiaomi Note 4G) and can't quite get my head around the following: 1. On i-Pad, I can't see my own photo albums; 2. On Android phone, I can see my albums, but have no means of uploading to them, or adding new albums; Are my settings wrong? Note: not tried PC access yet. Edited November 19, 2015 by Horsetan Quote
Horsetan Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Update: I can access the Photo Albums via PC, albeit in a roundabout way (there seems to be no direct link) with full upload / expansion facility, but this seems to be the only method. Android only gives viewing access (no uploading allowed at all), and i-Pad/tablet no access to albums at all - it's as if they didn't exist. Edited November 19, 2015 by Horsetan Quote
burnthebox Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Well it's just over a month since the site was changed & as I said then I didnt like it then & I don't like it now, it was too bright then & it's too bright now, the change of text is not to my liking if I can change it I will, don't know if it's the fact I'm using an IPad ( 1st. Generation ) but I'll live in hope Quote
GSR 800 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Ehh..lads..am i the only one seeing the old design for the site? Quote
GSR 800 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Maybe was just a glitch,returned to normal now Quote
BosKonay Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 I've added the Ability to choose Styles (you'll find it at the very bottom) You can pick between the new style fluid (default), a fixed width version, and for those of a more change resistant persuasion, the Old Style Quote

Three cheers! Quote
Horsetan Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Does anyone know why, when I type out a title for a new thread, only the first letter comes out as a capital, whilst everything else remains stubbornly lower-case? Quote
Noel Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Does anyone know why, when I type out a title for a new thread, only the first letter comes out as a capital, whilst everything else remains stubbornly lower-case? That is a feature of your smartphone or tablet, not the forum software. Most portable internet devices especially touch screen ones auto capitalise 1st word of every sentence. Quote

Noel Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Just noticed the forum has returned to its previous theme (i.e. look), and I have to say it is much easier on the eye. Less straining as there is better contrast definition on thread listings so its easier to pick out topics from the rest of the info. Don't know if this is temporary, but it is less tiring on the eye. EDIT: I just noticed my login has switched to 'IRM Old Style'. Don't know how it happened, but thank you site admins for leaving it available as an option. It's sooooo much easier to read. There is still the option switch on the new style 'Irish Railway Modeller FLUID'. Edited November 22, 2015 by Noel Quote
GSR 800 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 When I went back to the old version I decided to stay with the new one. I've gotten used to it now, and the old one just looks to..old! Quote
Noel Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 When I went back to the old version I decided to stay with the new one. I've gotten used to it now, and the old one just looks to..old!Sure. I've been using the new one too since its release and it is nice and modern looking, but as I found the old one today I just find it easier to read. Quote

Glenderg Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Same here Harry. Attempts at updating the Ammonia assembly thread have failed. Flux Capacitor must be on the blink again. Quote
