Bill, I've noticed that when I'm in the U2U screen, the Member Tools tab does not work. Clicking or hovering over it does nothing. All of the other tabs work.

I don't think any of these changes are an improvement.
The "top" button is missing...an aggrvation to have to scroll back to the top.
And then,
to get back to the "Recent Posts" page I have to first click "discussions". This takes extra time which I don't have a lot of.

Did you design the "recent posts" list for the hard of seeing?
The large format in general is hard to see.

I'm not interested in colored type.
It is hard to read and I wish you didn't have it.

Also looks like a multi-stip process to get to "my ats".

Change has ruined a lot of formerly good products all across the spectrum.

Also looks like a multi-stip process to get to "my ats".

Accessing "my ats" remains a one-click process. Hoover over "Member Tools", you don't need to click.
My ATS is the first one on the list, and one click gets you there.

Thanks.
I see the "recent posts" problem has been fixed. Thank you.

I have noticed 2 things on ATS that need some fixing

1. you cant edit your own comments in your profile .. its says Error on a blank page when you submit the edit at the end
2. you cant see the views number .. they all say 0

from the recent website updates:

3. it would be cool to have the colors back in the recent posts section
the color were useful to make the difference for each thread topic
exemple each 2012 related are green
each political related are red etc etc .. maybe less contrasted
but the colors would be awesome if we can get them back .. thats only my opinion lol

4. again in the recent posts section.... i would put it like this exemple:

Could Incubus Attacks be Aliens experimenting with us?
Aliens and UFOs topic pages: 1 2 3 ..188 topic from ButterCookie (-)
Weird dream at an United States VS. Hezbollah soccer championship match
Dreams & Predictions topic pages: 1 2 3 ..188 topic from Romantic_Rebel (-)
I say we give Mexico California!
US Political Madness topic pages: 1 2 topic from saltheart foamfollower (-)

this way would be perfect
the number of page in the middle...
and all "topic from user039420" would be alligned with all other "topic from" in the recent post section

thanks

You probably have two buttons on your key board that say home and end.
Home takes you to the top and end to the bottom of the page. That works like a charm IMO

I'll ask again.

Really, what's going on with that? Did I overlook something? I know some account profile parameters were moved but what about the other stuff?

ETA: Noone knows anything? Fine!

Hey there Bill.

Just wanted to give you my opinion of the changes (for what it's worth).

Initially I didn't think I liked it ... it was a bit of a shock to the system I suppose ... but today I've had a proper full-on ATS day and I have to say ... I absolutely love it ... so much better ... loving the background colours as well when you change screens.

Well done to all concerned and thank-you guys.

Considering with my few things that i said above in my post that need some fixing

i double what Woody just said

the new ATS looks awesome
the dark centered model have to stay.. never change that up
i love black .. my toyota is black lol and its more easy for the eyes when we read
keep up the good job ...it looks great
the modifications are amazing so far

I'm having an issue in the new member center, which is much improved and appreciated, especially the much needed replies section! All of the links at the top to account, email, password, etc. are almost hidden. I can only see the bottom 1/8th or so of them at best, no exaggeration. Is it something on my end or is anyone else seeing, or not seeing , this issue?

Oh, I almost forgot. I like ATS 2010.

Is there any way, with the new updates, to search a particular folder within given criterias?

for example let's say I want to get a resultset of the highest flagged threads in the Aliens and UFOs section, is that possible?
Or if not is there a list of that somewhere?

Go to the ALIENS & UFO forum and you can sort by flags

Thanks! I now see it's still present if you go directly but it oviously needs some updating. I just couldn't find an actual link from anywhere else.

Ok. since you've changed the font to be a bit smaller in the recent posts section I may have to call off my attack.
It's amazing how the point size of a font can change opinion.

The new My ATS page is up and running.

I think I asked this before but will there be new forum icons? I see that the Grey Area has a new icon.
Thanks.

reply to post by sphinx551


There are no plans for any extensive icon improvements at this point.

However, we may open it up for a member competition to redo all the icons (and get paid something for it) at a future date. Stay tuned.

Wow, at first I wasn’t sure if my shortcut took me to the right place when I clicked on the “MY ATS” shortcut, very cool. I like the way things are looking so far.

...
Also a technical problem in presentation. I have only two "favourite" forums, but the headline of one forum now overlaps the lower items on the other one.
