Also, is there any reason that we should actually have a font size large enough to ensure that one letter fills the entire screen and can that be remedied?

OK, I have made up my mind. Change, just for the sake of change, is wrong. We had a perfectly functional, plain, forum which was easy to understand and navigate. We now have a less intuitive, U of Illinois coloured forum which is less functional, less navigatable, and annoying. Please tell me again why we are doing this?? Also, how the hell do I post a new poll??? Edited by New Harumf, Jun 3 2008, 08:34 AM.

When you create a new post, look right near the bottom, under the smiley's and you'll see the "Poll Setup (Add Poll)" here's a nice picture to help Posted Image As for the colors, you you'll look at the bottom of the main page of the forums you'll see a option to change the color scheme to our old layout Posted Image

A better res will make everything smaller and on screen. Y'know, some of us have moderately crappy computers that can barely run on higher resolutions.... Anyway, as for a logo, I bet I can PhotoShop something together. Just give me some preferred dimensions and I can see what I can do. 352*72 You may use the Zetaboards logo to help you: http://z1.ifrm.com/static/1/logo.png

Also, how the hell do I post a new poll??? We made this change for two reasons: 1) First and foremost, because Zeta is supposed to have a working search feature. Based on the strength of this, I cast my vote in favour of change and convinced Paradise. This has yet to be delivered by Zeta... but we're hopeful. 2) The admin CP is much, much nicer to play with. On the admin side, we've got a lot more control.

I don't understand what you're talking about... :huh: This is what I'm talking about. These screenshots were captured from the "Military forces of Kruzakistan" thread: It starts out regular size, the you scroll a little way down and it gets larger. Posted Image And larger... Posted Image And larger.... Posted Image I think you get the point. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

Resident bureaucrat Posts: 2,268 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: December 23, 2003	The problem apparently came from the conversion. I edited the message and removed most of the [ big ] bbcode and the problem was solved. There may still be problems from older messages written before the conversion, but all new messages written after are going to be fine.
