Farmer Ted Jul 06 2007 07:56 AM

Meet the new site, almost the same as the old site. Great work guys. This feels like home already.

metirish Jul 06 2007 08:00 AM

I love it,have never been happier about moving ,has that ezboard feel to it...

*62 Jul 06 2007 08:08 AM

Thanks for the e-mail Let's Go Mets !

Willets Point Jul 06 2007 08:10 AM

It moves with lightning quick speed. All bow before Yancy and KC!!!

Farmer Ted Jul 06 2007 08:18 AM

Bow facing what direction exactly?? All this place needs is good old #52 for that old school feel.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 06 2007 08:20 AM

lightning speed

duan Jul 06 2007 08:21 AM

Great work! It does remind me of the old place. Very nice.

sharpie Jul 06 2007 10:25 AM

When I try to post the first time each time I come to the new site it redirects me to the main choose-your-forum page and only after I re-enter that forum and that thread will it let me post.

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2007 11:35 AM

My only complain is that the display is wider than my screen requiring me to scroll to the right in order to read everything. Am I the only one? Can it be fixed?

Benjamin Grimm Jul 06 2007 11:40 AM

Does the banner scroll off the right side of your screen? Or does the combination of the phpBB graphic and the banner fit okay, but only the posts scroll off? I'm not having the problem, but I have my screen set to be 1,024 pixels wide.

admin Jul 06 2007 11:42 AM

That's kinda weird, is your screen resolution set to 1024 x 768? If it's less that's the only reason I can think of why that might happen. KC

admin Jul 06 2007 11:49 AM

Just a side note, cranepoolforum.net now points to this board. Please change your bookmarks to cranepoolforum.net and not the http://cranepoolforum.qwknetllc.com/phpbb2/index.php one as I'm not sure how long that one is going to be working. KC

I've had that problem with only one post so far...and that was Iubitul's post about the billboard. I was thinking that was due to the picture he posted. I'm curious to see if I have the same problem using my laptop from home tonight. Nice job, everyone...much appreciated.

metirish Jul 06 2007 11:58 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 06 2007 12:04 PM

Can I ask a dumb question,thanks. Is there a place in my profile to have only twenty posts per page,seems that the pages are not going from one to two. Disregard this question.....

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2007 11:59 AM

]Does the banner scroll off the right side of your screen? Or does the combination of the phpBB graphic and the banner fit okay, but only the posts scroll off? Both the main page and every post falls off the right side.

Edgy DC Jul 06 2007 12:04 PM

Don't scroll. I'm hiding something there. Try this. > Go to your start menu. > Select Control Panel. > Choose the Display icon. > Select the Settings tab. > Dial up your screen resolution a click. > Repeat as necessary.

metsguyinmichigan Jul 06 2007 12:14 PM

I LOVE the painting of Shea and the Unisphere in the new masthead. Wouldn't it be sweet if they really were so close together? I always thought it was a shame that you couldn't see it from the seats. Heck, when you think about it, the way Shea is facing affords the worst of views. North would show you the bridges, west the Manhattan skyline and south the park and Unisphere. East, and we have chop shops. I understand why is faces that way, just lamenting.

Nymr83 Jul 06 2007 12:22 PM

I love that the threads with new posts i havwn't read keep that "sticky-note" icon next to them even when i click on other threads and then go back to the forum. the old board didn't do that.

Kid Carsey Jul 06 2007 01:03 PM

metirish, I changed it so that it's again twenty posts per page.

Great fixing. Rick Peterson couldn't have done it better or faster.

Iubitul Jul 06 2007 01:50 PM

I have to join in with Metsguyinmichigan - I LOVE the masthead - it looks fantastic.

Kid Carsey Jul 06 2007 01:50 PM

Anyone get an error message if you log out? When I log out I get a: phpBB : Critical Error Error obtaining user details DEBUG MODE SELECT * FROM phpbb_users WHERE user_id = -1 Line : 457 File : sessions.php

metirish Jul 06 2007 02:03 PM

I just signed out after I read this and I got the same error.

Farmer Ted Jul 06 2007 02:17 PM

Like the old site, if I'm inactive for a few minutes, I have to re-sign in to post.

Giant Squidlike Creature Jul 06 2007 02:46 PM

ROWRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Squid digs the new site.

Beenso Jul 06 2007 03:36 PM

the colors are very 80's. or something.

metsmarathon Jul 06 2007 04:29 PM

the colors hurt my eyes. but otherwise i like it a lot. anyway we can have the same background color as the sky in the masthead - that's a pretty, mellow blue.

DocTee Jul 06 2007 04:36 PM

Love it-- great work guys!

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2007 05:18 PM

Changing the settings on my screen accomplishes nothing. And, more to the point, why would THIS place be the only website, forum, whatever I visit that is too wide for the screen?

Kid Carsey Jul 06 2007 05:33 PM

I'm having deja vu, didn't this happen before?

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2007 05:36 PM

Not to me - at least I don't think so.

Iubitul Jul 06 2007 05:43 PM

FK - what is your screen resolution set to? If it's set to 800 x 600, then the masthead and the phpbb logo at the top are what's causing it. they combine for 920 pixels across, which would make every page too wide for you.

Kid Carsey Jul 06 2007 05:44 PM

Ok, so couple of questions ... What operating system and version are you using? What browser are you using and what version? OE: You first mentioned it during the day today, is it occurring on a 2nd computer now meaning that maybe you were on a work computer today and now it's happening at home?

MFS62: >>>I never got an email. <<< There was nothing special about who got an email, it was globally sent to all registered users using the admin control panel to the address you used to register your account. About a dozen were returned as undeliverable, but yours wasn't one of them. Your address of record is an aol account with your first initial and your last name. Don't get me started on aol.

Kid Carsey Jul 08 2007 02:06 PM

My favorite so far ....

Edgy DC Jul 08 2007 02:07 PM

You're not buying the frosty FFFFCC?

MFS62 Jul 08 2007 02:07 PM

Thanks. Kid. If it didn't end up in my spam folder (haven't checked it lately) I'll probably get it next week. Later

Kid Carsey Jul 08 2007 03:15 PM

EDC: >>>You're not buying the frosty FFFFCC?<<< Doesn't go, to my eyes. How is off-yellow frosty? Colors and contrasts are grouped for a reason. It's one thing for an artist to have license and do what they want with color, but for a message board I just think it's better to be con- servative and not pick things that don't go with each other. The orange on the screen shot above is enough of a departure for me. I'm just saying, it's not something I'm gonna go the mat over. http://www.dusek.ch/utilities/colors/FFFFCC

Rockin' Doc Jul 08 2007 09:19 PM

Thanks to KC, Yancy, and anyone else that may have been involved in making this move possible. This new home just feels right and it is markedly faster than the forum had been of late. Hopefully, we will all still be happy with the move a year from now.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 08 2007 09:20 PM

Like the greys

metirish Jul 08 2007 09:55 PM

The road greys are very nice.

Gwreck Jul 08 2007 10:29 PM

Current scheme = perfect!

Nymr83 Jul 09 2007 12:01 AM

keep the 2 shades of gray.

Frayed Knot Jul 09 2007 07:17 AM

Agreed on the colors. The greys work well and that's the best shade of orange.

Iubitul Jul 09 2007 07:22 AM

The orange just doesn't seem to work for me. I would replace the orange trim with either black or Met Blue.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 09 2007 07:27 AM

Iubitul wrote: I would replace the orange trim with either black or Met Blue. That wouldn't work. The color of the trim is also the color of the Author and Last Post columns on the page that lists the threads. If we went with black, those columns would be unreadable.

Iubitul Jul 09 2007 11:07 AM

Thanks Yancy. It's just surprising that they are both reading the same style.

Centerfield Jul 09 2007 11:11 AM

Great job guys.

Zvon Jul 09 2007 01:10 PM

You guys have done a fantistico job!

A Boy Named Seo Jul 09 2007 08:58 PM

Yeah, I also dig the new look a lot. Thanks for all the hard work.
