Bob (Bobosola) has got the random pictures working (in our new test forum, thanks Bob) and this should be installed on here in a few days time so good work there!

yippee, well done bob' and all concerned

I hope its been system proved first and not just a built and sent copy. ha ha!

quality well done

glynn

Nice work that lad!

Hopefully with a tame Bob on tap we can start getting the community feel back a bit.

Nice one Bobsola, a much missed item!

Excellent! Thankyou very much bob

Love you Bob!

Right then, what can we get him working on next??

Weh Hey.....Nice one boys.

we will have to celebrate with a ride over your way sometime soon.

OK, just gone live with the changes. It should work if you hit refresh (or log off then on again).

This is an approved IPB mod rather than me just hacking up the forum myself, so it should be stable. I think Gareth is going to be taking new feature requests at some point, but bear with me as I get up to speed with the code and find out what is easy to change and what is not. Now we have a working test server we can try out stuff offline and hence massively reduce the risk of breaking things on the live site.

Just noticed it!

That just really confused me (not difficult!). Just went back to the homepage after browsing and thought I'd got to the gallery, and again, and again. Then realised

Nice work Bob.

Feels like home again!

The banner picture has problems in firefox here for me

Phil, could you elaborate more? I'm running FF 2.0.0.7 here with no problems. Can you try a full refresh (Ctrl + F5)? Unlike the regular F5 refresh, this overrides the local cache and should clear up the problem, hopefully?

It's all working fine for me now thanks Bob!

Both old and new banners were showing superimposed at first but a refresh fixed it.

I wonder whether it might be worth losing the pretty whitespace at the top of the page (I put it in like that) to regain the mountain tops on the banner picture?

I too am running FF 2.0.0.7 with no probs as I think most s/w developers do use. just a preference thing most of the time.

Phil. Can you do help->About whilst in firefox to give us the version that you are using.

Sorted now, I had only done F5 which didn't help

ctrl F5 fixed it for me as well, though now the banner is a bit more squished than it used to be. (actually cut the top off.. I can get before:after pics if you want)

The pic has been shortened in order to fit more onto the page 'above the fold'. It may return yet in its full glory as we're experimenting with reducing whitespace to squeeze more in.

Nice job

Hopefully the gallery comments section will recover back to it's former self.

The box for quick log-in seems to have disappeared. I know I should be logged in all the time , but when I'm not using my own computer that was useful. Pedantic and saving mere seconds of my life, I know, but I miss it now it's gone. Other than that, great job!

Top work , I didn't realise how much I'd missed the random images untill they're back


Cheers

Chris

Is it possible to move it up the page a bit? It seems odd that it's below the:

MTB Britain > Other Stuff > Website > What's New

path.

Cheers Bob that's cracking.



Yep hope so too..

That should be possible, I would like to keep the random pictures and the top of the threads in view 'above the fold' as it's called before you scroll down however. We may try and cut down on whit space a bit although some is needed to stop it from looking cramped.

We could put the other stuff e.g. Login at the bottom of the page.
