Bring on the suggestions and complaints about the site

Good looking site.

Still don't understand why the little photo of my signature license plate shows up fine when I'm logged in but shows as a little red X when I'm not.

I was careful to meet your max 96 pixel criteria when I downloaded it. So what's the problem?

Again .. Good site! Keep up the good work.

 

Danny good work on the new look. place me in the column of wishing I could view the WHOLE screen with 800X600 monitor settings. I guess you are not as old or visually impared as some of us who prefet to use that setting. One way this could work would be to place the left margin stuff at the top of the screen and use the whole screen width for the posts. By setting my screen to 1024X768 I am able to view as I wish, but unfortunately that setting is for all my programs and my accounting software then displays in such small print I am going blind squinting. This message is in no way meant to detract from all your good work on this site, but PLEASE consider setting your own screen to 800X600 and working from there in the future. With respect for your doings...JY

 

Danny,

For the Suggestion box.

On the page showing <posts since last visit> add a check off box between the Forum and Topic columns so that <marking all forums read> doesn't become an all or none proposition. This would allow for 'weeding' some of the clutter without losing everything. I tend to mentally rank order threads of interest to me: (a) Must read now (skim), (B) save for later (important to me), © Got a few minutes to spare (yeah, right), (d) Might be good for laughs, and

Just one person's opinion. Thanks for all the great improvements. Wonder where you find the time.

Okay Dan I tried that but the response was that the photo must be 6kb or less. 6kb just has to be a mistake. Reducing it to 6kb made it teeny and totally lacking in sufficient detail for recognition.

 

Thanks Dan but I'm unable to squeeze down to below 20.8 kb (PriusChat now allows 15 kb). My Adobe Photoshop is starting to protest at all these changes.

By the way, what I had there before was 20.8 kb.

 

Re: "View posts since last visit" is even more bro

Agreed -- now that I know how to "clear all", so to speak, this is very nice. Thanks for clearing that up!

Too late -- take a look at the Aztec.

 

Danny,
The "Remember Me" box in the Login area doesn't appear to work for me.
Actually, I don't think the "auto log-in" in the previous version worked either!?
Does this box refer to the password or just the username?

Regards,
kenmac

 

Danny,
re the auto password again.
I use XP and Avant browser.
I tried using IE6 and clearing cookies and that appears to work and continues to when then using Avant.
However, once I disconnect the Internet, there is no auto log-in when I reconnect via Avant and open Priuschat again.

Anyway, this is not a huge problem, I can log-in manually whenever I need to.
It's just something I noticed.

Not sure if this is covered by "page layout sizes", but viewing the site in Safari on a Macintosh, the quote boxes don't seem to expand vertically to accommodate the entire quoted text (text gets cut off beyond three lines ...)

Then again, maybe this is a feature to prevent extensive quotes?

 

*smacks self*

d'oh!

Now that I know it's there, I completely like it!

(I just didn't think to look for an "expand" button, I guess...)

 

maybe a list in the knowledge base about the site, like what points are and the RSS thing.

Love the new site!

 

Re: "View posts since last visit" is even more bro

No offense, but how but calling it "View unread posts," then.

 

Danny,

Can you add a "Mark all forums read" link to the top of the page that is delivered after "View posts since last visit " is clicked?

In other words, view the new posts, select some to read and then clear the rest from one page.
