FYI
The forum's software will undergo a major update tonight and may be briefly offline.
From readers' POV not a lot will change: some minor cosmetics; Tapatalk _should_ now work properly again. The rest is admin-related.
Please post any weirdnesses here
Chris
Please let us know if there are any issues you might experience.
Kevin,
The box that surrounds quoted text is not visible.
Gray on Gray text in quote boxes!Isaac describes me perfectly. I find the gray on gray extremely difficult to read.
I suspect most LuLa readers are old enough to have less than perfect vision :-)

Now nothing distinguishes a quote from a reply, apart from an indent!?That's better than the immediate previous version, but a box or something around the quote would be nice. Or even
That's better than the immediate previous version...

You can always add a glow effect :~)
Or do other weird things...
But I agree with Slobodan that the old system (before the recent changes) was quite usable, and this new one still isn't.
... We now have to dumb it down...
Oh, one more thing: I think the little icons underneath the avatar used to be in a horizontal line, rather than above each other. They waste space in this arrangement, at least when next to non-verbose posts.

... Is there a way to have the "Attachments and other options" visible by default, as there was before?

iirc previously "Insert Hyperlink" prompted for a URI but now it just seems to be a text style option?
Just switched to Firefox, and the problem's gone!
But, why? It doesn't seem to happen to other pictures that I look at in LuLa on the usual system, only to my own uploads. Having said which, as most of others' images don't have captions, I don't really have any way of knowing for sure.

How did you do that?

My last post walked from right to left right across your own post!
As I write, there's a little square above the smilies with an M with arrows moving as did my message...
I certainly didn't click it! I never use those damned emoticon things up there at all!

P.S. I see it's still doing it: I'll click on the box and see what happens. Right, what happens is that it doesn't click off.
Yep, really strange. But I've only seen that with AlterEgo's posts - both of them.
I've never seen that before Slobodan. Thanks for pointing that function out. That's new, right? Next we'll have blinking fonts? I'll make sure not to use stuff like that.. Can't imagine what good it could be. I'm not really pleased with some of the recent changes, they seem to complicate processes or make reading posts more difficult.

...Give us a week...
As I have said before the new version 2 has all sort of bells and whistles that we are working on limiting. Like colored scrolling text. We are working on removing a lot of these not needed features.

Missing the old style quote boxes.Hooray!!!
Indented grey on grey seems a poor substitute - much harder to read, even bordering on the unpleasant.
