new layout

One thing that could maybe be adjusted… the ability to rate your own comment and hence become a ‘5 star’ member. I just tried this to see what it would do and I instantly had a top score. I had to click the dislike button on my own comment so that I didn’t seem desperate haha.
I think a persons rating should only be determined by how other people judge their comments, otherwise I think it will be pretty pointless as everyone will just like their own stuff to counteract and dislikes from people.
Just my opinion anyway. Love the new look site.

Hi,

Some replies:

1. Self rating

Agreed. You should not be allowed to rate your own posts. We’ll get on that.

2. Links

Currently when posting a link the poster can nominate that the link open in a new window (or not). We are changing that to be hard-coded always open in a new window.

3. Signatures

I made a post about signatures in this same forum.

No, we are not losing signatures, but we are reformatting the way they are displayed to prevent abuse and to tidy up the way they look. You can see what I have done below under the new formats.

We dumped the old signatures from the old forum as a placeholder, but now have introduced a new system that you can set up and modify through your ‘My Profile’ area (in the blue bar that the very top of the page).

Check it out and have a play around.

We’re on the case Jamie. Will be fixed as a priority in the morning (or sooner).

Should be a simple mailto tag Colin.

When I clicked it in your signature it opened up Outlook and put your email address in the ‘To’ area.

I’ll get my team to have a look at it though.

What do you think of the new signature styles?

We tried to ‘hide’ the email as such to stop bots scraping the forum.

I’m not against returning back to displaying email addresses, but it is an issue that it is not working with gmail.

As I said, I’ll get the team on it and see what can be done.

While I have you, can you take a look at this post for me – it’s finance related:

Without reading through all the pages in this post I just finished 0 -130 (LOVED IT STEVE!).
But the book makes endless mention of registering my copy along with some mentoring program that i cannot seem to find anywhere on this site?

A quick post to let you know that we are still working full time behind the scenes with more upgrades.

Next on the list is a member dashboard to replace the current welcome page after sign in that contains a range of useful information about latest information.
