ATS.5/3 New UI Buttons: Profile, Posts, Replies

On the top menu are critical things members have been missing most from the old bottom-of-page ribbon:


The first icon takes you directly to your profile.

The second takes you directly to the posts page of your profile.

And the third takes you directly to the replies folder of your private messages.


These have been formatted to fit on wide desktops, 1024 (narrow) desktops, and landscape tablets. Due to space limitations, they will not appear on tablets in portrait mode.

Hello Mr. Overlord,

First, forgive me if I don't know the terminology of the buttons, etc. With that said, on the old layout, at the bottom-right of the screen, there was a button you pressed that would bring up the, I guess this would be the ribbon, and it would appear at the very bottom of the page. Within this, there was a link that when pressed, a new window would pop up and it had 20 or so links to Threads.

If you know what the heck I'm referring to, where is that section now with those Threads? That was a very handy section as it showed me the most...recent Threads I guess they were.

Thank you for your time.

By the way, I'm glad you got rid of the white pages with black font and went back to this current design of the black background and white/gray font(s).

And the third takes you directly to the replies folder of your private messages.

Testing this out, I presume you meant to say the replies folder of (public) thread posts.

I hope you have mixed up landscape and portrat modes!!



More width in landscape.

As long as whoever you're telling to glue the bytes together isn't given the wrong end of the super glue, it should all be ok.

I am someone with very limited IT knowledge, and I know change is necessary

and on going ... however ...

As I have always posted as I would be having a conversation ie. questioning a poster,

smiling at a thought, puzzling at an answer, and outright 'belly laughing at some, and

then there's the sarcasm!! The old emotions were very descriptive and didn't

need any explaining, I think it must be me - but I don't get many of these 'new ones' so

I was wondering if for the few people like myself they could be labelled

(in miniscule lettering!?)




And just pointing out fyi in case you haven't got round to it ... after typing out this post

that I still have 7500 characters left!!!

The emoticons and character count have been addressed, several times.

Either it's specific to mine or there might be a coding blip, both the first (profile) and second (posts) of the new icons are going to the profile page that is set to default showing threads, presumably this isn't also the posts page.

I'm sorry to be a pain, but the UI buttons just show Hex code on my screen. I'm using Firefox V. 25 (most recent) and Windows 7. I would insert a screenshot but cannot do so, as I have no idea what UI button does what on the edit menu. Is there a font or character set I can download to rectify the problem? Or is there another solution?

Otherwise I do really like the redesign of the site and think that you and your colleagues have done a good job.

With many thanks
