Welcome To Websleuths # 2

@Tricia
My biggest issue is that the search bar still doesn't bring up new threads. This is making me not want to start any new threads, as I don't want to duplicate a thread. When I search for something it shouldn't matter if the thread was created today or 2 minutes ago, it should come up in the search. Sorry to keep complaining about this, but I want to make sure Dave is aware and still working on the problem. Any other issues such as likes vs thanks and colors of the forum are minor IMO.

Thanks Tricia (and Dave, and all who work behind the scenes).

As for the color issue, it has improved a lot since the first day with darkening some of the bars. Could the faint peach text also be darkened? I know some don't bother reading that area (poster's name and time posted, post #), but I do and my eyes are drawn to it (annoyingly so), but I can barely read even with enlarging. It does keep me away from WS as much as I was with the less eyestrain on the older forum. I think it would make a smoother transition for many... though I know you can't please all of us.

Yeah, these are my two biggest issues too.

I don’t know how to start a new thread yet...successfully...

I put her name in search, no results. So I apologize if this is posted elsewhere.

I can't find it right now but it has been posted. I saw it on the breaking news thread.

Here: Kate Spade, 55, Fashion Designer, Found Dead, Suicide

I had to manually go to the Breaking News thread to find the link. Not many posts there yet, probably because the Kate Spade thread doesn't come up in a search.

Are there any plans to make the old Websleuths links properly redirect to the new Websleuths site? Links from the old Websleuths site that go to a specific page of a thread no longer work here, and even if it did, the number of posts per page changed with the forum upgrade (20 here, 15 on the old site).

Thanks Gardener! After the search thread didn’t populate, I looked at the news on TV, versus here. But I trust Tricia is working on the glitches.

I just have one question... when we get “points” will we be told why? I’ve got 6 points and I can’t figure out how I violated the TOS.

You have 6 trophy points, not TOS points.

Oh. Well I feel a little ridiculous...

Is anyone else struggling with their avatar? How did those with nice clear avatar's get them to be small enough to use here without being all blurry? (@Gardener1850?

he he)

Whenever I try to change mine they are either too big or the image is small enough but it comes out soooooo blurry!

And I don't dare set a new avatar to see how it looks because I know that if I want to go back to my beloved Seattle, the image I have now will be too big too upload again.

Ignore me. Turns out my IT tech DH is useful...occasionally (Don't tell him I said that though )

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

While I was visiting here last night, DH asked if I was comfortable with the new site. I said, "Yes" and that, after nearly two weeks, I barely remember the former Websleuths

 

[Gardenista]

Something looks different. Larger fonts and bolder colors

 

[CoverMeCagney]

@Tricia Is there a way of seeing who is on a particular thread? I miss knowing who I'm prattling on to, makes it feel a little less interactive.

Agreed! I liked seeing when a thread was "hot", high number of members and guests viewing.

I also liked seeing when someone else was viewing on cold case threads, I was more encouraged to write something as someone else was also viewing.

No big deal if we can't, I'd just liked it.
