PriusChat Software Update - 3/3/15 Discussion

Mark, on my work computer (have not checked how things look on my home computer yet), I have an ancient Pentium computer but a fairly new and very large monitor (30" I think). Resolution is set to the maximum - 1360 X 768. I am using Internet Explorer 8 (no choice on my part). Before the software changes, this problem did not exist.

 

No overlap on a Chromebook either.

I will say though that the poster information takes up a lot of space. This results in short posts having a lot of white space until the following post. Not the end of the world to be sure, but not aesthetic or functional.

I use the spacebar to scroll down, shift-spacebar to scroll up

 

Thanks, Danny...I like the new look-and-feel a lot. And I really like the post-by-post scrolling...saves my mouse button finger.

 

Yes the avitar is real big on IE8 on XP, you can go to Firefox or presumably Chrome.

 

Unfortunately, I have no choice on my work computer. I do not have the ability to use a different browser. If I did, I would use Chrome, which is what I use at home.

 

Smaller font ?
The photo is what I see on a Mac using Safari or with a Chromebook

 

Didn't check if this has been addressed already but I just wanted to let you know I couldn't login to PriusChat using my usual password for some reason so I had PriusChat email me a temporary new one. Well it won't let me change the password once I'm in.

 

Yes, I agree exactly. That did not occur until the recent revisions. The huge fonts for titles waste a lot of screen space, as do the larger white spaces.

 

All the web browsers I use work this way. It is not site specific.

It has actually become something of an annoyance for me, because my fingers are so used to the behavior I get unexpected results in other programs

 

The pictures / avatars look fine on my home computer using Chrome. So it is definitely related to IE8.

 

surprise of all surprises - it finally works! And no, I don't mean just side loaded. It's actually working without having to monkey with it. I had all but given up on tap a talk. Yet, here I am ... A tappin' and a talkin'. Good job. Here's to hoping the next down time will be a little shorter.

Danny: Still need to get this line locked at the top of the screen when scrolling through posts:
Mark Forums Read Search Forums Watched Forums Watched Threads New Posts

 

What's the blinking green circle on the avatar for?

 

If you hover your cursor over it, a box will pop up to tell you it means that member is currently on line.

 

Perhaps we're looking at two different places! Here are screenshots from the New Posts screen; the first one is when it loads and the second one after I scroll down one notch. The main menu bar remains at the top of the screen but the "Mark Forums Read" line immediately disappears.
