Exactly, we seem to be on the same page.

I think this forums subject layout is confusing with gaps and overlap.  It leads to posting in the wrong sections and encourages discussions to wander off topic, which we tolerate, but some users like to keep strictly on topic.  I'm probably the worst offender for wandering! LOL

Robert,
If you want to make a pen/paper diagram and send me a revised structure I can change the current setup as I am very familiar with this as it was something Steve and I did together when we set up the new forum.
The Admin tools allow that to be done fairly easily.  
However we need to make sure that we dont try to get it so fine grained that we are sifting sand (if you understand my metaphor).

Will stick with shifting boulders with crane! LOL

OK, bit's really something which needs debate I think, but looking through the numbers of posts in some categories, they could be amalgamated into other more general categories or even dropped and replaced with something more usefully structured.

I think the theme threads like the 'Birds' thread are a good format, just look at the hits.

Will put my thinking cap on and see what I can come up with.

Can we /should we ...delete the AiBlue theme onthe options drop Down?

I switched to this on the iPad (idle curiosity) and pressed save. Unfortunately the home button is missing and there's no way to escape the preferences (apart from selecting another theme). I then had a battery rundown and when I recharged the iPad I was unable to get anything on the splash page ....white out.

Not sure what the use that theme is ...but without a home button you can't escape its preferences a page. (Or I couldn't)


Second point. The images on the splash page when viewed on the iPad Pro are stretched unconstrained to the screen bottom.

Yes it would probably be a good to remove other themes other than Ultra (current default), Modern Editor and Ndslr.

Chris please can you make them invisible to users but still present (on filesystem) in case we want to revert.

I have amended the way splash screen controls the images - it now sets a maximum height per image of 95% of the screen instead of stretching to 95%, so the images should retain their aspect ratio.

I have hidden the other 3 themes from the drop down list. The reason that Eric had problems was simply that I had not amended the other 3 themes to work with the splash page - I have done that now, even though they are hidden.

I have done a bit of tidying up on the Ndslr theme - the plethora of buttons round each post in the topics have been moved to a right hand column and given a neater, more modern appearance.

Feedback please.:smilesmall:

I like the way the 'Like' button is at the bottom, less like-ly to be clicked in error!

No doubt we will get used to the layout (eventually).

One question is bugging me, how do you check or access the PM's?  I had to resort to clicking the links in the notification eMails to access my PM's today because I couldn't find them by buttons in the forum.

Edit: The return to view new post is now spot on.

Is there any way to get the browser to report "Nikon DSLR" in the browser tab?  UltraBB isn't very helpful or appropriate.

Robert which theme are you using?  Ndslr?  I havent touched that yet as I find web browsing on a phone a pain.

Ndslr works on desk / laptops - it is just optimised to work on mobiles as well. It is constructed using responsive code that adapts the display on small screens.  This post is from my Samsung .
