reb78 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I thought uBlock was a Linux add in too? I am sure that's what i have on the PC in the workshop that runs Linux Mint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missingsid Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Hi, Just noticed a feature that I really like which I assume is a new one as I have not noticed it before??? It may be I 've been off the forum too long to notice or just unobservent? When an old thread is resurrected and there ia a gap of maybe 6 months or more a banner shows the end/start, This makes the thread much more understandable as in the past I have had to go through the posts to work out what happened? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I saw that - it is new and it’s good isn’t it 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I agree! I also like the auto compress of quoted content. Plus I really like the logo and had forgotten about the competition and winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Probably going to get lost in the noise but ... I recall, perhaps from before the logo competition, a discussion about a descriptive tag line. I thought the winner was something along the lines of 'Shared ideas, independent minds'. Perhaps it wasn't a 'winner' just the one I thought most appropriate, reflecting a common interest in the technicalities while recognising that, whatever the problem, issue, or opportunity, different people were justified in making different choices. Was there even talk of logoed shirts, vehicle stickers, etc? Anyway, I'd like to see the tag line, and there seems to be space in the banner to the right of the logo. (That said, I don't view the forum on anything but a PC, certainly not a mobile phone). Regards. Later, found a related topic, from 2015. Warning, it develops over 3 pages!! I see I misremembered, the wording was Independant Minds, Shared Ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was ‘Independent Minds - shared ideas’ there was a run of stickers done as I had a couple on my truck. I don’t remember if it was on the front page or not in the end before the update.

Correction noted. I don't think it was on the front page, but I didn't bring it up before as the Admin people seemed to be busy. I mentioned it now as people are obviously re-focussed on the appearance. I see there was even a Poll. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbeaumont Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'm finding the move of the "Mark Forum Read" link to the bottom a bit of a mixed blessing. It was always a bit of a pain having to scroll back to the top when I'd scrolled down and decided I wasn't interested in any of the remaining unread topics - but now it's only at the bottom it's just as much of a pain if there are only a small number of unread topics at the top or if I've returned from reading the last topic I want specifically to mark the rest read... It'd be much better both top and bottom - but that'll mean modifying the a template which'll then have to be checked every time the software is upgraded in case there are changes that need copying from the standard template.

Bowie69 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Have to agree, Geoff, irritating placement at the moment, given I likely use it every time I visit the forum. As you say, not sure there is a pragmatic solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbeaumont Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Nope - having been the one responsible for migrating the customisations before it's not worth creating grief for the admins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Dead right Geoff ! we have had a major update , followed by 2 x more updates. ANY custom work has to be redone each time as there is it seems a move to a more unified invision look, partly due to peeps altering things and either causing chases / therefore work for them, or security loopholes... I am seeing what we can do on the right hand side bar, see whats comes of it ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sparkes Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Thank you for picking this up. Looking back to the entries for The Poll It is probably just a typo, but 'ideas' had a captal I (Shared Ideas) I also see some Poll suggestions included the words 'The Technical Forum for Land Rovers', and I think it worthwhile to try and include those. To avoid a single line of text stretching across the page, I wonder if both 'word tags' could be built into a single Image than would sit nicely alongside the logo, thus The Technical Forum for Land Rovers Independent Minds - Shared Ideas Regards. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
