Some of those tabs were redundant, so I removed them. It should be better now.

 

[Luckylizzy]

I just wanted to say that the tabs at the top are awesome! I used to have to go back to the main page and click the forum link but now it's always just a click away.

 

[The Dude]

Thanks. There is a bit more tweaking to do, but we're seeing light at the end of the tunnel

 

[ksech]

LMAO It's like learning how to walk, baby steps...It IS getting easier

Now if only we could do something about the background colors...

Just wanted to let the meister God know, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!!! (It may take until I'm 60 to get it all, but there is always hope)

coupla questions..

Hi Bryan,

Just OOC, will the section on 'threads updated since your last visit' be returning eventually? I'm sure I'm missing new posts by clicking the 'new posts' button. For example, before me Ksech posted here today, but when I click on new posts this thread is not contained in the 'today' section.

Also, I went looking for the key to the icons... little shield, flamey shield, etc but could not see them on the forum homepage. the legend there showed different icons for me. m I the only one?

Thanks.

Don't worry - I'm still working away at everything

At the moment, I'm having issues with the "Show Roster" plugin which lists the i-gaming reps. For some reason it's not functioning and is sucking up most of my time this morning.

As for the legends - on my to do list, just like the icons and such.

There is a "What's New?" tab, but like you've noticed only shows unread messages. I've already checked into this and I'll have to create a "New Today" tab on my own, which is a PITA.

I still have the blogs to reinstall and a number of other things. So bear with me ,and keep pointing out things I need to do so I don't miss anything

The likes are not working. You need to reupload all contents of the VBSEO 3.6 install and reapply the xml plugin. This did the trick on my politics forum

I turned the "likes" off

 

[ksech]

Now I know I'm losing it...where is the "new posts" button/tabby thing located? I just click on the grey/blue forum button to refresh the page...
*Still lost*

It's beer O' Clock, Emmeline! Good one! Didn't need the reminder, but thanks!

You're not losing it...I have to build a new link for this. It's on my "immediate" to do list since I use that too.

 

[maxd]

Sorry B, got another "am I losing it ?!?" problem for you (sorry if it's already been mentioned): as far as I can tell almost all of the rep names on the i-Gaming Reps page just point to the forums (https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/). The odd one actually points to the rep's page but the vast majority don't.

That's a project in motion. I've been working on that page for most of today

 

[The Dude]

Blogs are back up:
Link Outdated / Removed

 

[The Dude]

Slowly but surely...

Today's Posts are located on the Navigational Toolbar

 

[The Dude]

I hope people notice that I'm slowly getting the colors sorted. I'm basing the color scheme off of Simmo's Stylin' Style from the old forum.

Tonight I'll be working on the images to give it more of a "meister" feel.

And yes, I'll be tossing out the cheesy "easy board" Post icons

 

[silcnlayc]

Will you be fixing the faded washed out blue?? It is very , very blah and somewhat hard to focus on....at least make it a bolded soft blue?

[The Dude]

icons fixed

Which faded blue? You mean like up above in the quoted text? Yeah, as soon as I can locate this in the back end

 

[OC Elliott]

One thing I noticed straight away was the speed, the site on a whole seems much faster to navigate around.

Cheers,

Elliott.

 

[Gremmyboy]

Hi Bryan,

My home screen for the forum is still funny and not lining up. Any new on this?

Just a friendly question.


Cheers
Gremmy

 

[The Dude]

Thanks - I'll check on it.

 

[petro]

Unless, someone has already pointed it out.
I has spotted another bug.

On the sidebar where it says, for instance; Thanked 9,365 Times in 3,283 Posts.
It is off centre with the other text.

 

[The Dude]

I've spent a good portion of the day working on the colors and a few images. I hope some of you noticed. I've pretty much replicated Simmo's Stylin' Style back into the forum

But I'm having to put this on hold and get back to some of the other weekly/bi-weekly tasks (newsletter, webcast, etc.). There are some unfinished items (images replacing the "reply" buttons etc.), they'll just have to wait.

I'll be dealing with issues as they come up. The i-Gaming page is a known issue at the moment. Both Webzcas and I are looking into this

 

[chayton]

I think it's coming along very well! I have one request if I may be so bold....on the tabs, would it be possible to switch the Forms and Member Blogs around? Or maybe change the title of "Forms"? I always click it by mistake thinking it's FORUM, with the two so close together and my peripheral vision being what it is.

I'm having the same problem. I just can't think of another term to use besides "Form".

And the correct plural form for "Forums" is "Fora", but then no one would click that

I would click it thinking it meant 'girls' hehe . 'forms' should be the last subject with 'contact us' etc. no? I am very comfortable navigating around now more than before. Your colors are considered traditional by some I think and there's a lot to be said about tradition. It's looking good.

 

[The Dude]

i-Gaming reps page is back up
https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/members/?key=staff_members

That took about a week to get functioning properly

It has it's own "tab" in the navigational tool bar up top.

 

[chayton]

Much better!!!

 

[Simmo!]

May have been mentioned, but when I edit a post I keep getting IE8 saying "This tab has been recovered" and reloading (the edit does take though). On one occasion it was "unable to return you to Casinomeister".

Well that's strange. Didn't notice since I'm using Firefox at the moment.

Probably a bug. I'll try to squish it later next week

 

[The Dude]

By the way - the "Way to Go" button is a known issue. I hope to get that going sometime next week. Sorry

 

[Elgoog]

missing "new posts"

didn't read the whole thread
i am missing "new posts" that is since i last visited very much

 

[The Dude]

That should be the "What's New?" tab on the menu bar. Those are your new posts.

 

[Elgoog]

Thanks!
I owe you a beer!

(would have been a nice tric to have everyone visit the forum every single day, lol)

 

[Stovetopp]

I just clicked "forms" to see what it was and got the same SCREEN as when I clicked on FORUM
What was I supposed to get..... or forms was for us who think forum and form is the samer thing

 

[ksech]

Hmmm, should have posted this here and not the other thread...



My toolbar is still messed up, I know I need to get my eyes checked , but damn! I'm seeing doubles and triples now LOL and I still can't figure out what's supposed to be there...

My toolbar is ok, strange..
But I see from your screenshot that your Slotmeister leaderboard from 32RED shows the correct list.
My leaderboard still shows an old outdated list from months ago.
Its been like that ever since the upgrade.

 

[De Beuker]

This is how my toolbar looks like.
Only the searchbar seems to cover.. something.

The leaderboard shows people with only a few hundred spins.

 

[RedAndi]

Mine too

Just noticed my searchbar also covers something.
My 32Red scroll seems OK, spins in the 5 digits.

 

[ksech]

I think the search box is covering Main site? And depending on which way I cross my eyes... CM casinos is covering Today's posts/ CM News is covering Private messages/ and Newsletter is covering ??? and calendar. The Forms Tab takes you to a forums' home screen with a link to PAB near the bottom.

 

[silcnlayc]

The blue/grey is still too pale IMO...When I load the page for new posts, it looks like one big sea of pale blue including the ehaders etc.......there is no definition between the postings...I also truly do not like the fact that before, if you clicked on new posts...only the posts you did not read comes up whereas now, you click that and every post is listed...

The only way I realized I was re reading some of the posts was when I glanced at the sheild and tried to differentiate why some had fire coming out of them and others didn't...definitely dislike that setup...even the shields are like melting into the faded sea blue colors...if i want just the posts unread, I really do not want to dig through those I have....I know, just look to the side and check the shield...but if the shield looks like everything else on the page....whatever....

[jod5413]

Silc,

I think I read that Bryan was going to have the options to change to "Casinomeister Classic" mode, he just hasnt gotten to it yet? I really liked the old page type for reading too. And I am, as you and others are seeing, we have to learn what everything means all over again.

Progress always makes me cranky!

 

[The Dude]

WTG (Way to Go) button has been recreated. Unfortunately, we have to start from scratch with this one since the original code could not be merged with the new plugin - thus all old WTGs are in cyberspace

But it works now in screenshot forums etc.

By the way, the WTG button is a way to show your "thanks" to posts that are just cool. There are no rep points involved.

These are displayed in the User Profile member pages.

Hey Bryan, I was just snooping around (looking in the cupboards etc) and under the "Quick Links" tab there's an item called "View Site Leaders" and I wondered what it was and clicked on it and it's really ugly. Not only that, it kinda looks like the same info that's under the i-Gaming Reps tab....

Just FYI

 

[The Dude]

Yeah, that's something that needs to be fixed. The i-Gaming Reps is a "plug-in"; it's a separate module that needs to be installed and modified to your liking. The "Forum Leaders" comes with the vBulletin package and is useless at the moment.

Keep snooping around, let me know what else you find

 

[RedAndi]

Keep snooping around, let me know what else you find

Will Chayton be getting "Quality Controller" Salary?
And are any other postions open?

 

[ksech]

My "What's new" tab and my "Today's posts" (overlaidby CM casinos) do the same things And as chayton pointed out the view leaders (under the quick links) goes to a list of Reps which is very difficult to read...
