Hi Ton,

thanks for the promising announcement.

Hope we can get the "se all new indicators by just scrolling the first page down" back, even if 80% of the once-a-month-lookers refuse to scroll down.

... and there is no chat option for us snickerpusses. I agree with you. The way we powerusers (we 2 hold some 30% of all the posts) need the system, it needs a lot of further improvement (have you seen the wishlist is not avail ricght now, but their comments are now in the normal forum, very convenient). Perhaps Ton can persuade Tim Blankers to move it a bit more into our direction as time goes by.

Hi Uli, Yes, I know that if I click around on the tabs I can see the new topics, but then this was true of the 'altered' compuware.info page, and was in fact what we complained about at the time. It would be better if the unread posts indicator was on the front screen. Surely. Mean time, I've also noticed that there is no way for me to set my timezone, so the times on the forum posts are offset from my own time. Making it tricky to determine whether they are in fact new.

Hi Iain, sometimes, the goodies are harder to find now. If you are on top of the forum page, you have on the righthand side below the 2 dropdownlist (which are longer than I can scroll down on my browser) a light grey area to manage the "topics with unread posts". And In the what's New Tim Blankers gave us the last 9 topics with the latest posts Not the one overview of all new issues in all areas with one opeartion of the mouse-wheel, but for me, this is equivalent to the one we had before. Wishlist is not operational so far and I have not found a way to see whats new in the download area, but I think Tim will provide us a good support in the next couple of days with an incremental delivery. P.S. since we have the new system, I improved my ability to sum-up w/o the urge for a calculater

I just types something, and decided it was too snarky for public consumption. Front page no longer lists unread items in any recognisable form, just historically newest. There is not read or unread indicator on the front page. This does not make scanning for updates any easier. Clicking about between the tabs does show unread items, for the forum (no idea for blogs etc) The original comments involved the inability to see at a glance from the front screen whether anything had changed since the last visit. This is not improved by this changeover.

Looks good. Could you change the mouse-over colour for the tabs at the top? Grey text with a white background on mouse over is not very readable. Maybe change the mouse-over text to black or something with a higher contrast?

Hi Tim, thanks for the fast change. It's easier to pick up what has changed. Uli

Hi Ulrich, Thanks for the feedback. I've changed the dashboard to show the last 5 topics, not replies. A compact overview of the last 9 posts has been put at the top of the overview page of the forum tab, so you don't have to scroll all the way down. We're currently updating the black block at the bottom of the page, it should be working correctly as soon as possible.

at the bottom of each page, we see a black block with links to members, wishlist, etc. activating the link does not work at all, as it looks.

I just had my first experiences with the new layout. First, I could not login because my existing password was not accepted. Had to request a PWRD reset with all its nice trimmings. And the dashboard shows only 5 last replies(!) not the last topics. I had to go to the foum, scroll down to the bottom of the page to get the last 5 adressed topics I was used to (and found this topic to reply to) So I voted "needs improvement": If one change from topics to single posts, we need a substantial increase in the number of items shown. The current sertup makes it even harder to provide others a good service; for me it is a reason to stay away from uniface info.

Hi Tim, excellent job, as usual.

ulrich-merkel said Hi Tim, thanks a lot for that fast improvement Looks like I can not add a new download. Can you help me on that matter, please.

Hi Uli, It is now possible for users to add new downloads by going to the Downloads page and click "Add new Download" or go to your dashboard by hovering on "Uniface" in the most top left corner and to Downloads>Add New.

Suddenly, I have noticed, there is a user name in the Subject. My bad, sorry for any confusion I might have caused.

Hello, I use RSS feed to watch what's new on uniface.info. I've been quite happy with that for several years. After this "major update" the RSS feed has changed a bit. On an "old" site, the RSS feed (named Uniface Community) showed me in the form field who posted what. On this "new" site, I use RSS feed named "Uniface - All Forums" and in this feed all posts seems to be from "Uniface - All Forums"; so if the author does not include his/her signature in the post, it's impossible to tell, who wrote it. Would it possible to change the RSS feed to show the author of the post again? It would be really helpful. Zdeněk

Hi Tim, thanks a lot for that fast improvement Looks like I can not add a new download. Can you help me on that matter, please.

Hi everyone, a couple of things have changed: - The text on tabs mouseover is now readable - The downloads section shows the most recently added downloads - The media section shows some presentations as wel as videos - Links in the bottom section have been reorganized - The media section on the frontpage shows a random image from the most recent gallery What is currently being worked on: - Wishlist - A way of marking unread forum posts on the frontpage

Hi Tim, is it possible to change in the DOWNLOADS the top part from "Most popular Downloads" to "Latest Downloads"? So that at least Iain and myself can have sopport for our early-morning-whats-new-scan.

Yo can find "change the timezone" if you go to your profile Tab "Options" => "Edit Display"; perhaps this can help you with the timing. (I miss the tiny red markers as well)

I have just been mailed with someone with reference to the job opening I posted on Jan 12, which confused me a bit as I didn't remember posting anything recently, so I went looking for it, and I did indeed post a job opening on Jan 12. 2011 (I think) It says on the front screen that it was two years ago, but looking at the post itself, there is no year against the date. I think knowing the age of the information you are looking at would be useful surely.

The downloads could do with a two step operation, where there's a page detailing what the download IS before you actually download it. Also, on the what's new page, they could do with an upload date, to show whether they are new or not. Can one link to the downloads from the forum pages to allow for discussion as to what they are? I don't see any sign of BB Code in this editor. Iain
