pcnd5584 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hmm, not too impressed. Everything feels too spread out, fonts too large. (Subjectively, it feels as though it is shouting at me, or seems like reading a book for toddlers.) The previous incarnation felt reasonably concise. Whilst I too am grateful for Mander Organs' continued support of this very useful board, I must agree. I much prefer the look of the former board. I realise that new things need some time to get used to, and no doubt we shall - but my preference was for the dignified and comprehensive layout of the old board.

mgp Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Most of the changes seem a distinct improvement (teething troubles aside) - and thanks to the people at Manders for doing all this. One feature I can't find is the ability to see when topics were last updated and just pick up what is new rather than scrolling through stuff one has already read. Is there an option that I've missed? Thanks MGP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveBarker77 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Is there an option that I've missed? It took me a while to find it... look for "view new content" (or something like that) top right under the Mander Organ banner on the first page.

geigen Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 see that control minus will have the desired effect for those who find the font too large And Control+zero put it back to normal size. Alternatively, if your mouse has a scroll wheel, Control+Scroll wheel up/down will let you adjust font size in many programmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geoff McMahon Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Paging forum member "PJB" - you have opted to have the "daily new topics digest" The Organ and its Music automatically e-mailed to you by the forum software but it looks as if the e-mail address you have in your profile is no longer working. So the notification has bounced back. Please e-mail me with your current e-mail address if you want me to change this in your profile. Thanks.

Steve Thanks - very helpful. Though this doesnt do quite the same as the direct link to the latest post in a thread did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcnd5584 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I am beginning to get used to the new format now - and actually I think I like it. What I am sure of, is that it represents a lot of hard work on the part of John Mander and his colleagues - for which I am most grateful. Oh, and whilst it may be a little early to wish anyone a Happy Christmas (since it is still Advent), nevertheless I would like to wish John, his team and my fellow contributors a very blessed and peaceful compliments of the season. And no, I have not yet started drinking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwhodges Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Press "view new content" first; then in that list you will see blobs or stars that take you to the messages you have not read in each thread. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Geoff McMahon Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I did try to make the forum aware of Mander Organs' excellent work at the Sacred Heart, Wimbledon, and urging people to come and hear that magnificent instrument in one of the forthcoming recitals, but said post never appeared... I'm afraid I can't remember which address I used, but all now seems to be working. Thanks must go to you and Mr Mander for maintaining this forum - it's been most informative and amusing just to read. Thanks - still finding my way around the "control panel" of the updated forum. The Portfolio part of the Mander Organs web site will be updated soon with an entry for the Sacred Heart Wimbledon. Rachel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
