I haven't found a "Who's On-line", and it seems that there's no way to change the theme. perhpas they'll put in some different style-sheets for us to select from, eventually.

"Who's On-line"

I saw a choice to show who's online in the user's preferences editing space.

Edit:

No, that was a Hide from Who's Online radio button which I saw. Sorry. Still looking.

yeahbut® there used to be a little line down at the bottom (that never worked in the previous forumware version) that showed who was online. I don't see that anymore.

The new posts do not show up in all of the forums. In Wordplay, there is a note in the main forum section that there is a new post, but the thread in which the new post is not highlighted in any way.

The font size on the board is MUCH too large. Though this may be a good thing for the seeing impaired, it does reduce the quantity of posts visible on a screen.

Also, contrary to what might be expected, large type is not easier to read for people without seeinhg problems. The way it was explained to me in marketing class is that we learn to recognize words as a whole (which is why even if a letter is missing in a word, we can still recognize what is says), however, when the font is too large, the eye has to scan it back and forth to understand it.

I can reduce the font size in my internet setting or on my computer, but then I'd have to keep modifying it back and forth when I come back here.

Can you add an font-size option so the the seeing impaired can choose the larger font and the rest of the folks can stick to a regularly-sized font?

This is quite funny...Eta. If it never worked in the previous version, why would you miss it now? I think many people choose for hide anyway. The peeper crowd.

I have added a few styles if you prefer a different color scheme. To change,
1. click on "My Stuff"
2. select "My Preferences"
3. scroll down to "Your preferred style sheet"

I have added some boxes on the right to show fun stats (and you can turn them off if you prefer bigger forum areas -- go to My Preferences to turn them off).

one day *everything will end up "below the fold."

(on my usual "restored down" window barely three(3) topics are visible.)

edit: the font is quite a lot smaller with the "infopop" style sheet.

thank you! awesome!

and Bran, yeah, I admit, that sounds funny, but on the pre-previous version, it was there, and I used it often. even though, as you said, people were hiding. I never did. I am here.
