The New VJ (3/2010)....What do you think?

[kizza 1]

Thanks Ewok for all your hard work.

Will we be getting back all of our PMs or just the ones from the last 6 months?

There is no rush, but there were just a few PMs I wanted to hold on to that were probably from October or so.

Must be some of the jobs Obama promised from the Stimulus bill. LOL

I will try to get back older ones too. It will take some time for ones beyond 6 months. I am roughly 50% of the way back to 6 months (maybe a little more).

I will get the link to the calendar fixed soon!

I will hopefully get the site speed better. Today has been improved over the past. Hopefully more to come! I will not stop working on this one!

Glad 800x600 looks better now!!

The colors and flow of the site are not final yet . If it is akwards give us a week or so. The old design had years of tweaking -- only been a day or two on this one!

I just dislike the quoting system. I have to re-read what others have said before I can get to the poster's reply because it's all just thrown into the same thing without borders.

Other than that, I could get used to it in time.

Are you referring to a topic or feature ?

Not any thread but the feature. It wasn't there yesterday. I like greeting people (VJers I appreciate) on their birthdays.

It's back today.

24 member(s) have a birthday today

Cool, Captain.

once again - clicking the orange box with the arrow does not consistently take me to the first unread post in the thread, it takes me to the beginning.

I know the "new post" and the "quoting" are not back in full steam yet but they will be. The quoting should work fine for all new posts.

It should be working (I see the box; try a hard browser refresh if it is not showing up for you).

Do you have an update on this? I am going back to all the threads I read and being taken to the first post - it makes the site unusable. I am using firefox if this make a difference (worked fine in the old site.

Soon I hope.

I am exploring getting us a new faster server. Ours is already fast but if I can get us some striped SAS drives....

Not sure if this has been addressed or not yet, but the orange blob "newest unread post" feature also seems to be local to each computer you read on. So when I get home, all of the "newest unread posts" are still at whatever state they were when I read VJ last on that particular computer.

[Captain Ewok 1,891]

You are correct on this. I am working to fix. I have it restricted to save server resources at the moment.

After having used the site for a couple days I'm of the opinion you painted the house another color, looks different, but still the same house.

[Captain Ewok 1,891]

I will be upgrading our server in the next 24-48 hours if we are unable to get the loads down. Either way the message should be that things will get faster!!

competing CSS ?

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Electronic_Processing

is missing major section headings now.

I've done NOTHING to change it up, either.

I have to think it's competing style sheets.

Looks the same (now) in Opera 10 and IE 6. grrrr

[Captain Ewok 1,891]

It is possible (for sure) there is a competing css issue. I blended the css of the main site and the wiki and had a really hard time. I will go take a look and see if I can fix it right now .
