Forum Upgrade

[Weazl]

Hey Dan,

Like the new look, prett simple to use. Nice.

[Mr. Chi]

Me too, I like having the links at the top instead.

[Break68]

I like the old setup better.

[imozzie]

Hey guys...looks great! Nice and clean and easy to navigate! Well done!

[DecoyOctopus]

This

I like the old setup better.

[DenisO]

They're both mediocre at best. With the new layout at least there is more real estate to use, however the actual forum is not really making any use of it by expanding to the browsers width so there's no point.

[John]

I'm with a few of you guys, thought the page looked much better before!

[nokids]

What'd they change?

[jonf]

I like the new look. The big buttons up top are much easier to navigate than that old tiny menu on the side.

[Break68]

What'd they change?

Pablo, go back to sleep!
Try clearing your browser history and cache and maybe, just maybe you will see the new forum setup.

I know on another forum I read they went to a "fixed" width style sheet, which looks like what Dan has done.

It makes coding the layout for certain features simpler/easier. On that site there were a few different style widths to choose from to account for people with different resolution monitors, preferences for reading in full-screen or windowed mode, etc.

My two cents, I don't mind the change.

[Kilroy]

The style changes are site-wide, not just the forum. As jvincent said the fixed page size makes layout easier to do and results in a more uniform style. The main menu should be much easier to use on tablets and phones. There are also other under the hood advantages to this change.

Everything is still there, and page addresses have not changed so there should be no impact for back-links to pages which will all still work.

There are those who will always prefer a side menu to a top menu, or an expanding page to a fixed width one but one must decide on a style and this one has it's advantages over the old one from my perspective and hopefully some users will have a better navigation experience. I think the downside is small so I went ahead with the changes.

Hi Dan,

Any plans to implement different widths? Just curious.

[Kilroy]

I was not planning to.

[gbower]

At first I didn't like the new layout until I tried it on the ipad and it is now so much better. Thanks Dan!!!!!

[Gropper]

Much better on my iPad. Since I use it the most. Well done!!

[jeffc]

definitely better on my iphone.

[Kilroy]

Excellent. Now if someone on an Android will chime in too...

[Gropper]

Phone is an android. Looks ok font seems real small

[jvincent]

I'll check on my phone (Android) later.

[Marcos]

Should send an e-mail in advance to us old guys. I thought I was on the wrong forum for a awhile. Looks good to me now.

[jvincent]

Excellent. Now if someone on an Android will chime in too...

When the page is in fullscreen mode the font is a little small on my Android.

Hi Dan,

just wanted to say I love the new design with no left hand nav bar.

I spend more time on here than watching or playing golf these days, and it works way better on my BB.

thanks.

[leftygolfguy]

I like the new look... its much better on the BB... and the navigation is way easier to read.

Dan,

As feedback, the new site layout looked messed up in the button bar section when viewed using an ics enabled android tablet in desktop( full site) format.

[Colby]

Dan,

Looks great on my Windows Phone and on Windows 8 with IE10

[Kilroy]

Sounds like some goals were achieved.

Androids not so happy though it seems.

[Big Johnny69]

Dan, any chance of a "Reply All" function to the PM system?

[Kilroy]

Sorry but not if it isn't already there.

[Colby]

Androids not so happy though it seems.

I feel really sad about that
