The blue smilies seem to have decreased in number in line with the latest trend of Tory popularity.
Another political thread!

It used to be sensible to shoot the messenger when bad news arrived, these days it's the web designer.Non me minoris aestimo - 1 October 2012 20:05193801i have every confidence in chris sorting out any teething problems with great efficiency. i was going to lay a bet on it earlier but am only allowed out with my carer nowadays.

2 October 2012 08:44193837I must admit that I thought at first that I'd clicked on Chris's website by mistake! At least now I don't have to look at two places.
Looks good, well done Chris. Perhaps now PB can eat his pot noodle in peace.

2 October 2012 08:53193841PS It took a while to find the log out!
TerryQuis custodiet ipsos custodes? - 2 October 2012 10:22193854#47 I went exploring, found the logout, and promptly logged myself out again before having done anything else, including posting!
Well, this is a change, and quite a surprise. I see there's quite a lot going on, and am i right in thinking one can have a personal blog too? It'll be exciting using this new set up.
Well done to the team for getting and keeping things going all this time - somewhere to chat and catch up, and very useful for info. So no more Paul B(oss)! - but impossible to believe that you weren't to be going on for ever ...
- but I don't doubt you'll be about.
Three questions, please. Do you have a hi-viz skin for people with visual impairments? Also, please would you add DWMP (The Dover War Memorial. Project) to the list of businesses/groups/organisations (unless it's there already, and I just haven't seen it!
) And finally ... is there a preview option on posts before you put them live on the forum, as before?
Off for a bit more exploring now!The Dover War Memorial Project
www.doverwarmemorialproject.org.uk - 2 October 2012 10:35193858As for the 'preview post' option Maggie, as the text box now expands to reveal all one has written there is less reason for it, no reason really.Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
- 2 October 2012 11:36193864Ah, but for me there are reasons for having the preview. Without going into the reasons, having the preview helps me greatly, and I used the preview facility every time I posted.
That's why I asked if the option was still available - because I find it helpful. If it isn't too much trouble for Chris, I'd like that restoredThe Dover War Memorial Project

2 October 2012 12:38193872I have a small request could we have the Thumbsup smiley back, if space is a problem possibly instead of the Tongue or Smilewinkgrin.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

- 2 October 2012 12:55193875In reply to Maggie - yes, anyone's welcome to start their own blog!
There aren't any alternative skins at the moment, but it's something I can add to the list for future updates. The 'preview post' option is currently available if you're starting a new topic, but I can also get it included for when you're replying on an existing topic. - 2 October 2012 13:28193878would appreciate it chris, very handy when uploading photos.

- 2 October 2012 14:22193882Re. Preview with images. When an image is reduced in size/resolution for posting on a website there is a marked decrease in quality which can, in part, be corrected. On the old site you had a general idea of what you were posting because you previewed the whole thing, including the image, prior to submitting. On the new layout no such facility appears to exist and the only indication is a tiny thumbnail. I'm afraid I don't have the time to submit a picture I'm not happy with only to delete and replace it.
Is there any possibility of a return to a full Post Preview? - 2 October 2012 14:31193883Thanks to PaulB for all he has done and to Chris for taking the extra on !---------------------------------------------------
Lincolnshire Born and Bred - 2 October 2012 14:32193884Hi John - the post preview will be available soon, working on it at the moment.
- 2 October 2012 14:36193886I think you want to get rid of me still having to log in each time.
- 2 October 2012 14:39193887Not at all! Just not sure what the cause is yet - is anyone else having the problem of needing to log in each time?
Vic - you don't have any software on your computer that blocks cookies do you? Possibly some kind of anti-spyware program?
