neo33 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 There's no "PM" indication for me. Not sure how that happened. Does that mean nobody can PM me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAKO Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I see we are going to have some growing pains with the new forum look. Right now its too wide for my screen. I dont know if i can correct at my end. Or if the moderater can correct this problem. Ill wait and see what happens in the next couple of weeks. Every thing looks fresh & new. It reminds me of the Lansing forum in some ways. It was a rough first 3 hours for me to get some things in order. I still have to shift things L& R to post.

Marvel Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Neo, It shows for veryone else. You just can't see it on your own profile. I think they assume you won't be sending yourself PMs. Mine doesn't show to me either. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Oh! Really? You mean I can email myself but not PM myself? Strange concept! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisc Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Has anyone mentioned the new search engine or atleast the way it is displayed. It seem to be very sensitive and results in alot more irrelevant results. It also shows results for the same thread over and over. Now I dont know if thats a good thing or not. for me its just different, and seems harder to find relevant threads. The archives are my favorite part of the forum. I do like the ability to search all or multiple areas at the same time. and I really really like the unanswered tab, great idea!!!!

thebes Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I increased the font size and that helped a lot. Thanks for the heads up. However, reading this grey type is giving me a headache. Also the main page looks boring and really, relly bland. Yuck! Llooks like something an accounting professional organization would setup, instead of a place full of gearheads, rock and rollers and other assorted maniacs and wierdos. (got to stop talking about myself that way). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerFan Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Maybe we should start a heritage forum. I think that the old forum sounds better than the new one[] [][][] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Oh! Really? You mean I can email myself but not PM myself? Strange concept! I email myself all the time...not usually on the forums but I can envision the occasion (like if I find an interesting pdf or image). I can just click the email me thing button and then go from there (it just saves a few clicks). I suppose the same could be argued about the PM though [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 It seems to all mesh together when your looking for a particular section. Hard on the eyes. This one is alot slower for a dial up internet user. I know I am probally the only one left on the planet. I don't see my smilies, but I do see the insert smiley. I dont' know what they look like so I dont' know if I would use them. [] test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomac Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Avatars too big names too small! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Klipsch ought to make the block headings on each section a darker color so they don't bleed together. It would make looking for a particular thread much faster. I like a cool blue, anything would work better than it barely having any contrast to determine which section your looking at especially with the new smaller print.

formica Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Avatars too big names too small! Good point... I don't mind the big Avatars... but the name doesn't seem proportionate in comparison. Lots of options that would work better, just a question of making it look more balanced. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merkin Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I can barely read anyone's replys except steeler fans. His is nice and clear. All the rest are small and fuzzy/broke up. The home forum page the print is so small I just have to guess what forum it is. The RE at the top of each message is perfectly clear. All of the responses in the message part are garbled. I have all ready set my font size to large in the control panel. Are there other settings somewhere. This is the only website I'm having problems with. The pictures are perfectly clear.

wheelman Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 ya dial up is gonna be a ***** with all the pics Dude you were not kidding. It's slowed down to a crawl at best today.

LarryC Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Klipsch ought to make the block headings on each section a darker color so they don't bleed together. It would make looking for a particular thread much faster. I like a cool blue, anything would work better than it barely having any contrast to determine which section your looking at especially with the new smaller print. This gets at a couple of things that definitely bother me -- very weak contrast of the topic headings in each forum's list, and the lack of color richness and interest because of the exclusive focus on black, gray, and earth tones. So many web sites are so very lively because of a nice mix of spunky colors like blue, green and often a little red. While it looks like Klipsch is trying to carry a color theme with the rest of its website, it out-and-out lacks spiff and interest. At the very least, contrast should be increased by making the earth-tone lettering darker. And in the topic headings in each forum, the page numbers at the right should be both and darker. I'm still clicking on the first page of threads instead of the last, because those numbers are so pale and tiny, and require a hard search. Others have rightly referred to the readily apparent size imbalances between avatars vs. usernames and other information. On the whole, it seems to me that these matters could use more web design expertise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
