SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted May 20, 2008 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted May 20, 2008 As you can see, we have moved the Chat Box and Forum Statistics from the right hand side of the screen to the left. There are a few reasons for this including the fact that when it was on the right at times it got pushed off the side of the screen when a large photo was posted and a few other coding issues. It also makes for a change. But the change is easy to undo and we can quite easily put that lot back on the right hand side. So, we'd like a bit of feedback on that. Which do you prefer, left or right? Give it a bit of time before voting perhaps to get used to it. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I think I am used to seeing it on the right side. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted May 20, 2008 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted May 20, 2008 We all are - that's why we'd like you to not vote immediately --- give it a bit of time! Link to post Share on other sites
Rag-Doll 0 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Not really chat box related but is it possible to turn off the preview function? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted May 20, 2008 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted May 20, 2008 It is currently a universal on/off unfortunately. We are looking into the being able to make that an individual preference setting, which would be best. Please wait a bit as we look into things. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 This may possibly be operator error, but I can't see the chatbox or forum stats at all. I'm using Firefox. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted May 20, 2008 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted May 20, 2008 Firefox should be ok. Thats strange. Can you send us a jpg of that please soubs (email)? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I can't use the chatbox. It says I have to make 20 posts first Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted May 20, 2008 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted May 20, 2008 Please read the FORUMS UPDATED thread. http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthread...html#Post271312 The permissions system for these Forums has been totally revamped. This basically gives us a lot of flexibility and does not affect members directly. However, it means that regular members will need to post at least one new message on the Forums in order for their Private Messages to restart. Members will also need to have posted over 20 messages to use the Chat Box. Once you have posted once in the new system you will be able to use the Chat Box once again.

soubriquet 0 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 OK. A couple of screendumps emailed to editor@.... Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted May 20, 2008 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted May 20, 2008 And I have replied - I hope that works, if it does please post here so maybe others in the same situation might benefit. Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 SJF: I think I might know what is happening. Please go to My Stuff > Preferences Make sure Turn off the left column? Is set to “No”. Hope that works! Works a treat Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted May 20, 2008 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted May 20, 2008 Great. Next! Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 My option was not there: I dont care - I had that column turned off anyway... new changes look good, the more functionability the more enjoyable the experience. Link to post Share on other sites

I have good news Rag-Doll. We have made some adjustments and also added a new preference field - meaning that you can now turn off the Active Topic Preview thingy if you want it off. Go to My Stuff > Profile. Towards the bottom you will see Show Active Tooltips (1=yes, 0=no): Put 0 in there if you want the previews turned off. Put 1 in there if you want the previews turned on (default is on). Hope you like that. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted May 20, 2008 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted May 20, 2008 No problems - it was a good point, some people will find those annoying. We welcome comments and ideas like that, it is what forms the basis of lots of what we do. Sometimes they are easier to get done than others, happily this one was a fairly simple adjustment. Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 It just looks a tad strange just now, maybe it'll grow on me so for that reason I haven't voted yet. Its like I am sitting about 3 feet to the left of my screen though, very weird!! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 also, that preview thing is well annoying Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Why don't you just turn it off then? Anything good to say perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I voted for right to restore normality Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Originally Posted By: oo Why don't you just turn it off then? Anything good to say perhaps? this is a poll thread, is it not?? That means that the staff are looking for opinions, which in turn means I can say what I feel about the issues raised. What would be the point in the SJ staff running a poll if everyone just said they liked it whether they did or not?? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted May 20, 2008 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted May 20, 2008 Yes we are looking for feedback and opinions. It is also nice to hear words of encouragement and positive things. (I like to hear them, especially when you have been up coding for well over 24 hours after a few weeks preparation). So thanks for them. Link to post Share on other sites
