Hi FOZ13, Sorry to be so negative on returning to the site, but a little frustrated on this end.

I used IE6 with XP SP3. Username is unchanged since joining a couple of years ago, MH3.0R. After I reset my password, the site decided to recognise me.

Also found some additional problems - cannot activate any options within the pull down lists in Forum, Community, Tech or Product Reviews. The lists are displayed, but when I move my cursor down to select one, the list box closes.

Also tried to edit/update my profile and there are strange options in the pulldown lists. e.g. Gender, only option is "1". Same for Country and others.

Kind Regards,

Mark.

Thanks for the feedback Mark, I'll see if I can rustle up a computer with IE6 on it for some testing.

its MAD

Bloody hell, after almost 2 years I can finally log back on, fork me,

anyways the site has bugs (i think), when deleting PM it takes you to reply to msg

Still a slow site...

oh well off to to clean up my old threads!

ZOMG, theres that signature! Could it be. yes it is!

UPGRADE from IE6 NOW!!!

It is the death of all the beautiful websites that get created still to this day!  Many extra hours spent "hacking" or "fixing" for people who don't upgrade! Get with the times please. I second the firefox idea.

Now I got that out of the way (web developer, sorry IE6 really bugs me), I like the cleanliness and the look of the new site, but what's with all the html errors? Why go to the trouble of making something look great but not structurally sound? For the web developers try using Firefox with the latest version of firebug, and also the add-on: "HTML Validator" using the SGML Parser... it saves heaps of time instead of going to W3C back and forth.

But as I said very pleased with the look

As a fellow developer/designer Firefox is so 2009, Chrome is the new Firefox . So quick and easy to use. I still <3 firebug. Best tool ever

I will look into the HTML Validator sounds interesting... Thanks!

Still no top of page button at the bottom of screen ? ?

So i will post rather than scrolling back up .... hehehe ..

Phat I've created a plugin that works directly with your keyboard. When you need to go to the top of the page just press the "Home" key

Oh yeh mate , how about a "mark all topics read" button at the bottom of the forums pages ...  

that way i dont have to open every thread to get a clean board ....

Cheers

This site goes from weakness to weakness.

It's slow regardless of the browser I'm using. Whether its firefox, IE7 or Safari.

The colour scheme is worse on the eyes. Five minutes, and they're sore.

The forums don't appear to have any set structure. I'm sure they do, but it all looks like a mess I'm afraid.

But ummm yeah. Keep up the good work..?

OK

To reply to your post:

1) It's still too slow compared to other forums (ie Subyclub, RSLibertyclub, ozfoz, ClubSub, rexnet) REGARDLESS OF BROWSER. That is, they're all the same speed. Slow. Sorry, not quite bothered to measure load times for you (I don't know what you use to measure time in, but where I'm from, its in seconds/milliseconds), but in general, the load times are somewhat of a struggle. Before you try anymore buck-passing, it's not my internet... Telstra Bigpond Cable Broadband. Yes it's running at its full speed.

2) Not much you can do? Ahem. Excuse me. Yes there is. It's called colour scheme. Its gone from bad to worse. No, not going to adjust my monitor. (is this how you ask for constructive feedback? By asking me to adjust my own monitor? Awesome. May as well tell you where to shove your own fist.)

3) Forum structure. I'm referring to the threads. Once in a thread, it is very very hard to distinguish between posts from one member to the next, as the colours you use to alternate between posts are far too similar.



Hey. You asked for constructive criticism. I'm giving it to you. I don't need your poor attitude. But you need my business. Along with other users here.

And business is about giving what the customer wants, yeah?

So let me spell it out for you nice and simple. Make it faster. Make it easier to read.

thanks.
