[kalana]

woow madz.. new look is cool.. and missed the forum since i was visiting everyday...

glad to be back

[outlander]

Hi Guys,

ok that's all for now...hope you guys like the new stuff...enjoy !!

MAXAAAAAAAA.... Keep up the good work machang....

[harshansenadhir]

Great piece of work MADZ. Too many bells and whistles to digest .. still loitering around and trying out stuff. Hope this will be a new beginning of AL forums.

[TharakaWi]

What I liked abt AL as a website/forum most was,

1. It's v.simple. Can view in any browser

2. v.fast

I hope these attributes are retained in the new site

[VVTi]

One more thing. I think everybody should be a bit more polite to others. Last week we saw some 'senior' members calling others retards etc. This is an open forum. People may raise any type of question here. Nobody has the right to insult the people who post here. Sadly, the AL forums have been a bit hostile, specially to newcomers, in the past few months.

You may never know, you may end up meeting some of the people you've been rude to on this forum, in real life, and the people you were hostile to may turn out to be nice people. So, it is always good to be polite to everyone.

Or perhaps the ones who are hostile may turn out to be nicer people too...

Kudos to you, Madz... however, on Linux the colors seem to be a bit off... is it general or is it just me?

It seems like the quoted text in the old content doesn't display too nicely (there's a heading of some description, but no clear indication where the quote ends; and no different background colour on the quote) although new quotes display fine...

If it's a change in markup code, maybe a "search and replace" on the database could fix things up?

[BLu3HaZe]

It would be nice if the voting buttons could be fixed, cuz even I'm getting 'used up all your quota' error, even though I'd not voted on a single post yet.

havent had that issue yet (with new posts)...Buti too saw it in some old posts' quotes. I guess the tag close doesnt get saved/copied or something like that... but shouldnt be that big an issue for the future, i guess.

But I do miss the "View Recent Topic".. It used to give all the threads in order of the last post. Now it leads directly to the forum main page (which isnt as helpful as the former). Besides that everything else is A-OK!

Love the chat feature too...Had a brief chat with a few of the boys last night; nice!

There is that "View New Content" link next to the RSS icon. Works fairly well, tho not for old threads being pulled up again.

[Supra_Natural]

Wooooohooooo! Its is indeed good to be back!

Good work with the forum madz, awesome look though still getting the hang of the functionality.

And it appears that the fuel consumption thread that we managed to start has been lost in the shuffle... Damn, have to start over with that now!

looks as though certain "characters" are back in full form as well heh heh..

[K3Z]

Looks great!

[Watchman]

That shows nothing more than 5-8 threads... I dont know how it decides on what the "new content" is, cos it shows some threads that I've already completely seen.

Well the ones you haven't read gets a little icon next to it. And the thing might go into multiple pages if you miss some time on the forum. Gotta give it a chance and see

Dude! been here long enough to know that part But that link should give only threads with unread posts right. Whereas the 'view recent topics' on the main-page used to give all the threads in time-order irrespective of if its been read or not.

Hey, the new look looks great! Way to go Madz!

Must be the name change

But even the old one worked more of less the same way. Would give me a set of recent posts with the unread ones marked with the icon, IIRC.

hmmmm... but the "view recent posts" is greatly missed... it made looking back on recently discussed threads easier..

Yeah, true. On an online forum, you can never know the true character/nature of the people you are interacting with.

When I click on the red icon, I am getting the first post of the thread, not the last unread (e.g. with the Airtel internet thread).

Hopefully this is only a transition bug that will happen the first time I try to see unread posts for a particular thread.

It's definitely working as expected for the new threads (i.e. after upgrade)

[mazdaspeed]

The new look is great -

[SHAI]

I say.....quite spiffy, this new look. Lotsa great work gone into it....Excellent stuff Madhawa.

[mirage7777]

+1. Hope this will be rectified soon. Would prefer the time/date sequence - as stated by 'Watchman'

[Sifaan]

small bug - am I the only one who get's this?

when replying to a thread, instead of taking me back to the thread (and showing the thread with my reply) it just goes to

http://forum.autolanka.com/index.php?

not really a big deal; but if you refresh to see if the page will load you end up with a double post...
