ANNOUNCEMENT Hello World! Issues with the new forum? Please post here.

No, but if I hit "Reply" or "Reply with Quote" in a post, it seems to behave itself. Only when I hit "Reply to Thread" at the bottom of the page does it play up.
Most do work but the spelling, capitalisation, and having no spaces between the colons and the other characters is critical. (They're shown here on the right with extra spaces, for obvious reasons.)

:smilie: : smilie :
:S : S
and the one you missed out
The exception is the shocked :O which I can't make work in any variant, but as it's basically the same as : eek : it's really not much of a loss. The surprise is the (much used on this forum!) : rolleyes :, which isn't on the right-hand pick list but does get translated by the editor.
Thank you very much for the explanations. I tried all and works well. Hope that we will find again, the list of smileys like in the old forum. To avoid typing the keyboard

I don't seem to be able to see the DDF archives any more; I was able to under the previous forums. Trying to visit links pointing to the DDF archive threads gives me "you are not permitted..." access failures. I backed to Alpha - should I be able to see them still? Have they been deliberately removed?
Edit: never mind, they've moved elsewhere, found them now! Though quite why DDF is considered "Off Topic" I'm not sure...

It's weird though that the archives have been moved to the off topic section. They are exclusively on the subject of Elite Dangerous, it seems to me
Indeed, and you'd think we'd want them to be prominently obvious to all comers, to pre-empt all those repeated questions and suggestions for features that are already discussed! Newcomers will never spot all that juicy info tucked away down there.

Hi all, please see http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=51791&p=906095 - pushed out some more themes for use.
If you have feedback regarding those particular themes, please post in the linked thread.

I knew it looked familiar even as I was applying the brushSo something as seen from a recent newsletter like this? http://www.elitedangerous.com/extra/newsletter_2014_10_17/forum-web.jpg
The yellower hue is definitely easier on the eyes. If the "Dangerous red" needs to be there as part of the brand identity, could it be used for the tiny link buttons such as the one after Originally posted by... while keeping "HUD orange" everywhere else? Or do formatting limitations mean it has to be one colour for everything?
Edit: never mind, I just found the "tempered" theme with its muted orange and mixture of blue buttons and red highlights. It's near perfect. Thank you!
Further edit: I just found the new version of "Elite Theme [Orange] [Constrained]" which is almost exactly what I had in mind. This one is perfect

Fair enough, although I'm not sure if i've ever seen that argument used on these forum's.
It would still be interesting to see where people are from though, texas, bradford, upper mongolia for instance. i think little details like that add to the forum rather than detract from it.
by the way the orange theme is it for me, Ta :smilie:

If you click the Reply or Reply With Quote button twice it takes you to the Advanced Post editor where some, but not all, of the smilies are in a clickable table on the right.
You can get to this same view by clicking Reply or Reply With Quote once then scrolling down and clicking Go Advanced, but the double-click is easier IMO.

I knew for the advanced mode (Mobius had indicated before). But for the double-click, it is excellent. Thank you again
Fantastic work so far guys. Well done on the new forums.
It's simply amazing to have such engaged, responsive and helpful Devs working on it.
If I had a hat I'd take it off to you.
Actually I'm going to get a hat right now and take it off to you.

Here's a weird one.
Just been using the [top] button to get back to the top of the thread.
It works the first time but then the code stays in the URL and so the button doesn't work again.
Replicate by scrolling down to the bottom, click the [top] button, thread goes to the top, scroll down to the bottom again, click the [top] button and there's no effect.
It's probably by design in that I can't think of a way to make it reset itself once you start to scroll down again. But I'm not a programmer.

The rep lamps are just above the avatars now.
