New Forum Software

[Gismo]

I have cleared everything and when I log in everytime I have to select "old school nms" as it always defaults to the v bulletin blue and white.. :-( and that is on all my pc's

This is a known issue, why do you log out when you're finished with NMS?

I have to say, I'm not finding this new version of vbulletin very user friendly, it may have more gimmicks, but it's not as easy to use from a user perspective.. I suppose we are stuck with it tho...

What user friendly problems are you having?

For the folks that are having the colour scheme issues, do you log off from NMS when you are finished or do you simply close the browser.

If you log off the colour scheme reverts to the default when you next log in.

Make sure you select remember me and don't log out, shut the browser down and start it again, now what do you see

I have tried all the things you have suggested but i still have this

same for me nothing is working to change the colour scheme.

where else should I go to choose the style????

currently I am showing old school nms and English (us) using the bottom blue bar of the page to the left "quick style chooser" they are no other styles to choose from and no defaults.

i had old school on the pc upstairs yesterday , then i tried to see if i had something different to the laptop.
now i have the same bright white forum on both computers.
very annoying being so bright, is there no way to change the colour scheme other than the quick style (that doesnt do anything)

I don't understand what is going on, i've actually disabled the CMS function which adds the HOME tab on the Navbar, it should not appear and yet you can still see it

Alan, is there something in the back end to refresh people profiles?

Sadly nope
I've tried every browser available and it works for me, except IE6 which is not suitable but no one is admitting to using it.
Fi for example uses Safari and when i use it i can switch from default to NMS Old School no problem.
So, i can only assume that it's the users PC causing the problem they simply are not managing to engage the style correctly

I log out of nms everytime as I also have. habit as I logoff my sessions at work everytime I leave my desk....


the user friendly things are

1 reply to post takes you to quick reply where you have no smilies and you have to click go advanced every time to get a problem reply box.
2 no easy "todays posts" button to see what has happened today - especially handy for me as I logon at work on my phone to check things out, but don't have enough time to reply, but might do when I get home.
3 default view should be old school nms as I think everyone agrees it looks better than vbulletin default
4 I don't like the way it shows the new posts, If I look at a thread and post a reply, then do a refresh, it;s not easy to see if someone has replied to it. It used to shows as highlighted and was easy to work out that there was a new reply in there..

Don't do it, just close the browser

double click the reply button, this opens the advance reply feature.

2 no easy "todays posts" button to see what has happened today - especially handy for me as I logon at work on my phone to check things out, but don't have enough time to reply, but might do when I get home

This is now "fixed" select FORUMS and then quick links and it's right there.

3 default view should be old school nms as I think everyone agrees it looks better than vbulletin default

You can't delete the default view, i can over write it but, that means users cannot choose which one they want, not everyone likes the same so i gave the option

4 I don't like the way it shows the new posts, If I look at a thread and post a reply, then do a refresh, it;s not easy to see if someone has replied to it. It used to shows as highlighted and was easy to work out that there was a new reply in there..

Not sure what you mean here, but, if you reply to a thread your answer is displayed and if someone else ahs that will be easily visible as well

Alan, I have just logged in using firefox, on that browser I get the vbulletin default scheme yet on Safari its the NMS scheme.
