    I'm not seeing any of the older threads when I visit each category (Kernel and Modules, Networking, Technical, etc...)

    The current colour scheme makes some text in the front page difficult to read.

    Edited-------------------------

    Front page OK now but the row for "edit post/Reply/Replay with Quote" still difficult to make out

    Presto Chango!

    I agree with some of the text being hard to make out. My first view of this new scheme I didn't realize there was black text in the dark gray bars.

    Also, I don't see the timestamp for the posts.

    Just uploaded an image, but don't see it anywhere. OK, nevermind. It just showed up.

    Folding is Fun

    I thought I made a mistake once, but, of course, I was mistaken.

    How do I find all of the posts I have made in the past? I forget the html code to to give an inserted link a readable name.
    In my signature I had Folding Is Fun. I changed the link that I want there, but forget how to 'label' it as Folding Is Fun. I had a thread about that sometime in the past, but I can't seem to find any of my posts older than this one.

    Yeah, the timestamps are completely unreadable to me unless I highlight them. Reply etc. is not much better.

    Also, the quick moderation links don't seem to work anymore. It looks like there is a thread awaiting moderation but clicking the link gives me a 404.

    Ah.. now I see the invisible timestamps in the white bar just above the poster's name. That's probably just a minor tweak for the forum tinkerers. ;-)

    Try something like: [ url=http://biguglylongurlthatyoudon'twanttodisplay.com]Pretty name[/url]

    Note that I inserted an extra space before url so the BBCode would show up.

    Thanks Cybertron. That fixes the Signature. Still like to know about findind my posts. There's probably a link somewhere in my profile that says 'find all my posts', or something like that. I'll look deeper when I get home tonight.

    I've noticed some problems searching for older posts too. Seems like maybe anything posted before the upgrade isn't in the search index.

    I reported all issues above.....

    True. The search function is a known issue and will be addressed shortly.

    Moderators - the links at the bottom of the page to:


    Contact Us
    http://www.justlinux.com/
    Admin
    Mod
    Archive
    Top

    Are there. You just can see em very well due to the White text on White background. The MOD link should take you to the control panel where you "should" be able to moderate threads and posts... But all of these issues should get fixed soon.

    EDIT: The links got fixed while I was typing

    Moderators - the Quick Mod link has been fixed.

    The line at the bottom of thread with Edit Post- Reply - Reply With Quotes -> Color was changed to make it easier to read.

    OK... I just now figured out what you guys meant about the "timestamp." Will ask that they fix that.
