I miss my spinning star. Everyone seems so similar now, with just the color differences.

Sorry but I'm not fond of these 'things' on the bottom right hand corner.

No doubt will get uses them over time but why are they there?

See the post I made above - an option to hide/remove will be added soon.


What a miserable lot of messages! I couldn't believe what I was reading!

I love the changes. Absolutely great!

Thanks, Russ, and all involved! 🙂

The flags are not nearly as clear as they used to be. It's now more difficult to identify flags from certain countries.

LOL! Thanks. I expect critical feedback right after a release, so its all part of the fun of running a site like this. Its better people tell you what they don't like rather than just moving on, so its all good.

Someone else sent feedback about this, and yes, there was a bug. The captured piece was not shown, but this has now been fixed.

Ahh. I thought there was something... Glad it is sorted now.

One other thing that I am noticing -

The "My Games", Open Invites, Tournaments and Sieges screens main content panels extend to the right of the window past the logical end of the box (I.E. beyond the red bar).

I don't remember this before, I think before everything neatly fitted into the screen size.

This issue is presented when you have a slightly smaller browser window than fully expanded - the red menu bar scales to fit but the main panel doesn't seem to any more.

nice tweaks, but...

1) When viewing threads in FF3.0.14 the 3rd level menu bar (Public forums/Thread List/Search Forums/My Private Forums/Recommended/My Bookmarks) appears to the right of the thread content, splitting the screen 50/50 I've a screengrab if you want me to email it.

2) Also, there's no longer a cursor marker in the box I'm typing in, so it makes moving about to correct typo's etc much trickier.

P.s. Oh, and my rating is too low, and my star disappeared a while back. Can you fix those for me too?

1) I am only testing against latest releases of browsers, with the exception of IE. So I'll get a copy of FF3.0 to check this out. I'm assuming you are on Win?

2) Are you sure? Anyone else?

I thought my ff updated auto, am i behind?
Yes, windows vista on that machine.

Defo on no cursor earlier.

3) am posting from opera mini (mobile) now, and the new button bar doesn't stick to bottom of page as designed, shouldn't be a problem as i don't think it's obscuring board or owt. Will post if it is.

3.5.3 for FF in Win.

The dock bar should render in a friendly(ish) way if not supported. I've turned it off for Opera Mobile now anyway.

Cheers, upgrading. Not sure why I wasn't prompted (by FF, not you!)

Cool re Dock Bar... sounds like a place I drank in down in Bristol once.
