Changes to Boards - please read as we go along

Have any font changes been made? I logged in tonight (using Firefox, which I have used for a while now), and the font size is much smaller (and nicer to read) than it was when I signed in this morning. The smaller font is great for my 20/20 eyes at 1024x768. I'm just a little curious.

There's a new config feature in your MyHome that will allow you to choose how Posts are shown in showflat (ie Newest or Oldest First).

Thanks Richard! It's working great!

The right order has returned!

Thanks Richard, and thanks for making it look more firefox friendly

Yes, thank you Richard for all your work in making everyone happy. The option of chosing which post displays first is a great feature and I official love the new forums. Having everything display in Firefox better now makes the formatting issue not so noticable.

Thanks again!

Richard,

One thing I would suggest is reverse the Viewed and Posts on the forum thread lists.

Do you think it would be best read as POSTs first then Viewed second?

(From an astetic POV that is.)

If you're taking requests, could we have a 'mark all as read' or 'update Last read pointers' button? Sometimes you don't want to have to enter every single thread to clear the 'new Messages' marker -- whatever it might be, graphic or color change.

There is already one there in My Home (the main page), below the descriptions of the various preferences sections.

That's a mighty strange place to put it. I'll let me suggestion stand, and append that the location should be on the top of each forum (thread list) instead of hidden away in our config settings. You're only going to want to update every single forum on the Boards when you've been away for six months or something and don't want to bother to catch up on all of them. The rest of the time you'll only want to catch up on ONE forum at a time.

Indeed. It is, however, exactly the same as the one from the old forum software. It would be nice to be able to update the Posts of just a single forum Category.
