This is an archived legacy thread. Replies are closed, but the discussion is preserved.

If you don't see the new forum system, then you have a favorite link that is connected to the old system, click the "Forums" option of the menu above, and you'll see the new one.

If you have problem with the new one, the old one entry point is:

http://www.neworderonline.com/ForumList.aspx

This will be active until the new version is stable enough, so please be patient.

Feel free to comment, I had to rush this release, so there are things that will not work, that's for sure. I'll fix them as they come.

And also, there are features not included yet, those will be added shortly once the bug list will be over.

Thank you for your patience.

I like it.

Mind you I liked the old one too.

I will probably like the next one so my opinion is a waste of time really.

I'll get me coat

Change for change.

Why change something that ain't broken?

P.S. The smilies ain't working... and not all of them are showing.

Actually the smilies were working only in the (new) enhanced editor.

I didn't think too many people were still using the flat editor ;)

Anyways, it's fixed.

Did you test the new Forum with Firefox? The "Quote"-function doesn't work. I can press "Quote" but the opening edit-window doesn't contain the quote...

Yes, I can't work the Quote button either and i'm on Firefox. Can we just plug the UBB code for it in manually or is the function itself buggered?...

I'm using FireFox now.

I believe the quote function only works with the WYSIWYG editor...

I'll see if I can fix this now, but seriously you should consider switching to the enhanced editor...

Switch editor and you'll be done.

I use Firefox and works OK, only minor problems like the colouring of the letters which will no doubt soon be fixed. I like the new entry system.

It should be fixed for those not using the WYSIWYG editor as well.

But I harly recommand the new editor, it's not the same as on the old forum system...

and you don't need to drag and drop smilies anymore... click will do it.

Ah, you're just mad because you're as big a time waster as the rest of us. I like the look of the new forum, and I love the new stats at the bottom of the forum list. Still, this new version takes longer to load.

I'm not convinced it's the new version... it's because we're monday...

Anyways, the point is, it's working, now I can concentrate on making it faster.

It keeps coming up with the following error:

Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types

hence the multiple posts above....

Yes, I was working on it.

It's a bad bad thing I'm doing of working on a production machine, I know.

Well, this flat editor is actually too basic, but I tried using the other one and when I submit the message it didn't work and I found myself just as I had just click quote... The previous text editor still had bold and stuff like that... Hoping that this works at least, since I can't send message from the enhanced one, though I still prefere the faster text editor... Anyway I really, really like the look of the new forum... :thumb: So now it supports both HTML and UBB? [testing bold in both codes]

Would it be possible to move the looong header of the E mail messages of the subscribed threads to the bottom? Most of the info (sender, subject etc.) is repeated in the smaller header in the body of the message anyway... The only useful thing is the link to the thread but it can be moved below too, as it's more likely I wanna reply after reading the message... Also I think maybe the font size could be set to Verdana 2 rather than the current 3...

Oh, is the option "E Mail me replies to this post" the same as the usual subscription or do you just get quoted replies to your post? Anyway great job, we just need a "send by mail" button on each post so we can archive previous posts too!

I think you set the widths as proportional (from the previous absolute), that's better for my resolution, thanks.

What the hell is happening with the "edited" line at the bottom? It's too big and reports wrong UBB code in my nickname when in fact it's correct...

Also, I really enjoy the enriched smilies box, but is there still the complete list somewhere?

I'll put back the old text editor when I'll have the chance, it's true it had more features. I find the wysiwyg one a little slow to load unfortunatly.

HTML will only be supported via the HTML Editor, not via the text editor...

Yes, the checkbox is the subscription...

As for the email, don't worry, it'll be done...

*Great! :thumb:

*Actually you can write HTML code on the text editor and it works. :nod:

*Uhm, I actually received the message in my E Mail, but when I get to the thread the "Subscribe" button is still there as if I hadn't subscribed... I would think the checkbox is more like a subscription to just the reply of the very message you're sending, and not the whole thread... [edited part: Actually the "Subscribe" button is still there even after clicking it, so something has changed I guess...] Also when I reply I get to a page with the thread title but no messages... anyway it's good now the title is a link so I can get faster to the thread anyway... Oh, it would be good to have the links to the pages of the thread on the top bar too, not only at the bottom...

As for the email, don't worry, it'll be done...

*Fabulous :clap: Thanks for your hard work!
