When I first go onto active convos, all threads I haven't read are in blue and those I have read are in purple - think this is how it always was....?
Anyway, as soon as I click onto a thread all text within posts (including links) is in black and active convos is also in black for unread threads, though still purple for threads I've been on.
Is this right? It looks horrible.

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 26/10/2007 19:49

Bloody hell....spent all this time trying and trying again to start a new convo to see if it was working now.....just noticed the new area!!! So not so urgent but the button below either needs fixing or removing.

Debbiethemum · 26/10/2007 19:05

I want to ignore a thread, but I cannot see the button anymore. Where has it gone

Lawrene8 · 26/10/2007 18:54

Hi tech - not sure if it's me but the topic list doesn't sem to work anymore - what am i doing wrong?

ADragonIs4LifeNotJustHalloween · 26/10/2007 18:51

I can't seem to find " Mumsnet Local" on the list of topics I can ignore. Is it theresomewhere?

GrapefruitMoon · 26/10/2007 18:41

Don't know if this has been mentioned - but before the recent changes you could, for example, tick the "without buying/selling" box and "active conversations" would always open without buying/selling, even if you weren't logged in. Now it seems you have to log in first before your preferences are adhered to - or have I missed something? (Sometimes I just lurk for a bit before logging in - usually when I feel like posting - and I'm finding it a bit daunting to be faced with the "unedited version" of active conversations as soon as I open the page!

roisin · 26/10/2007 18:37

I think it's lovely

FrannyandZooey · 26/10/2007 18:32

Poor Tech. We think you are doing a fine job really. Just keep tweaking.

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 26/10/2007 18:18

OH NO.........NO new convos can be made right now!!!

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 26/10/2007 18:11

Any idea why I can't start a new convo on Employment Issues???

CatIsSpooky · 26/10/2007 17:54

am starting to feel sorry for tech

Jas · 26/10/2007 17:52

Firstly, a big thankyou for losing that Z in customise

(I am also here just to remind you my problem isn't fixed yet. When you said tomorrow at 3am today, did you mean tomorrow? I'm kind of hopeful that you really meant later today.....)

tortoiseSHELL · 26/10/2007 17:48

Um, the number of posts is still wrong Tech!!!

IdrisTheDragon · 26/10/2007 17:40

What is happening with ignore? Sometimes it is there and sometimes it isn't. And I just ignored the book one (sticky) and went back to active onversations and it wasn't ignored (ie without closing the window).

CatIsSpooky · 26/10/2007 17:09

thanks tech (re profile icons)

SweetTrickorTreatFA · 26/10/2007 16:49

Could you spare a moment to help me out, please Techy?

I'm trying to post in Lone Parents and have written quite a long post, evrything else is working but I can neither preview nor post this one.

Is ther an issue with the 'create conversation' thing in that section, please?

DumbledoresGirl · 26/10/2007 16:29

Hello Tech.

Sorry to add to your things to do, but I find I can't get rid of the pinned topics even though I have asked to ignore them. This is not a huge problem, but something is obviously not working there.

More importantly, despite asking to ignore for sale threads, I am finding that sometimes they are appearing in my active conversations. Usually, once I click to something and then go back to active convos, they have gone, but again, something is not quite right.

Apart from that, I like the changes. Thank you for doing it.

Highlander · 26/10/2007 16:19

Hate, hate, hate the pages.

I have customised back to the good ole days, luddite that I am

vacaloca · 26/10/2007 16:04

I haven't read all the message so I'm not sure if this has been said before: I'm getting confused with the icons for page navigation, the fact that the icon for moving just one page has a line followed by a triangle, while the one to move right to the end has the triangle followed by the line. Not that difficult, I know, but wouldn't it be simpler to have just the triangle for moving one page, and the triangle plus line to go to the end?

Other than that, congratulations on a seamless move - it's a miracle that you managed these changes without any disruption to the boards, so well done.

RubberDuck · 26/10/2007 15:35

Thanks Tech

Tech · 26/10/2007 15:16

Hi RubberDuck, re Threads I'm on not jumping to the right page - I'll have a look at that. We fixed a similar problem on "search all" last night. I may not have done TIO as well.
