Post your tech glitches, errors, issues, etc. here.

Thank you SusansGarden!  It worked!  No grey border on the left.... full screen posts!  thanks for the tip! 

Thank you Mods and programmers and co ! Following your adjustments to the font issue, I've increased my zoom (which was not working on font) to 125% AND IT'S PERFECT !!!!!

ETA: and the smaller avatars are looking sooo much better  

I can't get rid of my extra left space on my MAC. Any help?

Thanks, Mods, for all the hard work. Websites are very hard to redesign.

I've waited a few days to look around. I appreciate some of the improvements on the site but I'll chime in with some issues (some of them may have been posted, but I can't read them all):

- On the website (Chrome browser), the font used for the signature line (diagnosis) seems pixelated. The text isn't crisp. On Firefox it's a bit better. On my iPad (which I use the most), it's great. 

- There really is a lot of wasted space on the left. GUI design is part of my job so I know that how you use screen "real estate" is very important. Tabs are better at the top so you can use the entire browser efficiently. Pull down menus aren't great because, in effect, you hide the topics you used to be able to see at a glance in the table. For example, sometimes I'll sit at night and see right off the bat when someone has posted who is "not diagnosed but worried". If relevant, I can respond right away. I'm not sure I'll go out of my way looking for that thread all the time, however, unless it's front and center.

- Colors and fonts are subjective, but there isn't enough contrast between the tan background and the text.  

- iPad screen: A few people have mentioned they can't magnify the screen to increase the text size. That happened to me a few times but it seems okay now. 

Jancie - sorry - just saw this. OS = Operating system. As in Windows or whatever there is in Mac (lion or something).

Browser = Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome or Firefox

Had a crazy day - Mods - saw your post somewhere and your honesty cracked me up - about the ads. Talk about necessary evils...LOL. I hope there isn't much pink in them. I am LOVING seeing normal colors, as in my pre-cancer life. It used to be that one only saw pink in the film "Legally Blonde" or cartoons. Sigh! 

Mods...please consider making the forum much more prominent.  It is really the only real issue I have with the new format (other than glitches).  I need it to scream to me....CAUTION YOU ARE ABOUT TO POST ON THE __________FORUM  (particularly needed for the stage IV forum).  PLEASE!  And thank you for all of your hard work here...  I still love bco, even with growing pains...  Claire

Athena - thanks for clarifying that for me.  So I am running Windows - Home Office 2010 and using IE.

My computer is less than a year old.  I got a new one because the old one was running so slow and so I am hesitant to download additional programs on this one such as Firefox as I don't want anything to slow down my computer.

I couldn't get totally rid of AOL on my other computer and so when I would boot it I would have so many programs running at the same time.  My favorite program was weatherbug but I won't install this on my new computer either.

I still have the glaring white on the background.  I can't see the tabs such as "active topics, favorite topics, etc. when I am running at 100% view so in order to see them on the same page I have to go down to 75% view and the type is so small on 75% but it eliminates so many key strokes keeping it at 75%.  I wouldn't mind so much if the white wasn't so darn bright and I could have a light blue or light gray background in the threads and in the reply area.

Often, after reading a topic I would return to the top and click on the forum name to see what else is new in that forum.  Now the forum is no longer clickable so I have to go to ALL FORUMS then try to find that forum among many which is time consuming and frustrating due to the many forums.  Could you please make the Forum name a live link again?

ArtLady, go to the dashboard and then scroll down...down...down.

Gerri, move your cursor to one of the corners of your browser window. The window shouldn't be maximised or it won't work.  Grab the corner and re-size the window till the empty panel disappears, then if you can, expand the print using CTRL+ or CTRL-.   It doesn't seem to work for some people though.

Live link displays are being truncated in the new version

Previously if I put link in both the link and title portions of the box, the  portion that  shows on the page is truncated with a "..." at the end rather  than leaviing  the full reference.

For security reasons, many of us prefer to see the full  link.

Thanks. 

Edit:  This occurs both on Windows 7 IE v8 and Mac OS X with Safari 

What happened to the people I had in my Favorites?

Just downloaded and installed Google Chrome so the 'Back to Top' link is now working.

Thanks Chrissy.  Shouldn't this site work on it's own though, without us having to download anything?  And my Jump to Bottom works.  Funny the Back to Top doesn't.

With so few posts per page and all the scrolling I'm feeling rather detached from our community here.  The old format gave us a much better overall 'view' of things.
