Post by **Soner** » Mon 01 Feb 2016 10:49 am

Had new layout but it has reverted to old layout now ???

erol · Post by **erol** » Mon 01 Feb 2016 12:34 pm

You will only see the new layout if you are logged out or logged in and have you board style set to Metro green in user control panel - board preferences, I think.

Aargh...

That's all weird...

ToastLady · Post by **ToastLady** » Mon 01 Feb 2016 2:01 pm

Change to a lovely shade of purple then!

sophie · Post by **sophie** » Mon 01 Feb 2016 2:44 pm

Sorry but like Marion, can't see anything different, even the purple page stays the same.

erol · Post by **erol** » Mon 01 Feb 2016 5:22 pm

BTW Soner could we have a direct link to 'advanced search' somewhere on the new layout ? You can still get to it but first have to use the 'basic' search box' and then you can go to 'advanced search'. If it is already there and I can not see it apologies in advance. Thanks.

Post by **Soner** » Mon 01 Feb 2016 6:24 pm

Erol,
Advanced search is already there, link is on left of search box.

The new layout is Green. The old layout style (called hestia) was and is available in green / blue or purple. The new style (called Metro) is currently only available in Green.

It looks like this

To change you style from one of the old (hestia) layout style to the new (metro green) style you need to go to

user control panel

board preferences

and then select 'my board style' from the drop down menu.

and then submit your changes

Sorry

Tried to put in a screen shot of mine, but I am obviously an idiot and it says 'the extension png is not allowed'. So take my word for it that i have logged out and logged in and turned around and done it again, and still I am with my lovely purple. I guess when I do get the new page I have lost my favourite colour. That makes me a very unhappy bunny.

Maybe one day my computer will join the new brigade, but for now it is still old school.

Erol, see top left of page above Kibkom logo.

Marion, you will have option of pink or blue as well as the green once new version has been installed.

Design is much nicer and easier on the eye, as well as having better functions, ie uploading YouTube videos. Also, trying to improve loading of images.

Should be completed by next week.

On the new Board Preference I've chosen the colour Metro Teal, no probs, but can't see a "like" button, is that facility gone now?

Kip · Post by **Kip** » Wed 03 Feb 2016 8:12 pm

Looks Good. Changed mine to Metro Teal. Easy on the eye.

LooseBoots · Post by **LooseBoots** » Wed 03 Feb 2016 8:18 pm

I like it.

Marions · Post by **Marions** » Wed 03 Feb 2016 9:31 pm

I might like it if I could get it. So I am staying with what i have. I have logged out so many times and logged in again that I am getting totally bored.

No doubt in due course it will all sort itself out.

And to Erol "Yes, I really really really have logged out and logged in, searching for the web page each time.

But I am happy, so.........no worries.

er actually probably best to leave as is I guess. If you happy all is good.

Post by **Soner** » Wed 03 Feb 2016 11:00 pm

Old styles will be removed next week.
Marion you need to go to your user control panel and change colour from there.
Like button??? Thanks will get that added.

Marions · Post by **Marions** » Thu 04 Feb 2016 7:13 am

Nothing wrong with my colour. Happy with it but that is because it is still the old style page. When my computer decides to change then i will change the colour.

woodspeckie · Post by **woodspeckie** » Thu 04 Feb 2016 7:31 am

Just changed my colour no problem

Post by **Soner** » Thu 04 Feb 2016 11:34 am

Like button added.

Post by **Soner** » Thu 04 Feb 2016 11:37 am

Also, when you get a PM the message link (0 new messages) at top right of page turns RED.

Marions · Post by **Marions** » Thu 04 Feb 2016 1:48 pm

Ok.i give in. Changed the colour e voila up pops the new layout -back to front!
Like the idea of red warning of a message.
Thanks

Just so you know seems to be (partially) missing in the metro teal layout.

Post by **Soner** » Thu 04 Feb 2016 2:59 pm

In metro teal but cannot see missing "Like" - Erol where is it missing?

Dalartokat · Post by **Dalartokat** » Thu 04 Feb 2016 3:04 pm

I'm in Metro Teal and the "like" button is only showing on your messages Soner, not on others.

Dalartokat · Post by **Dalartokat** » Thu 04 Feb 2016 3:06 pm

Can see it now

Keithcaley · Post by **Keithcaley** » Thu 04 Feb 2016 3:15 pm

I can see it using Google Chrome, but not when I use Firefox 43.0.4 or 44.0 (it just updated while I was typing!)

Looks like you sorted it ?

Before in metro teal, I could see 'results' such as '1 like' but could not see the thumbs up icon on any posts. Now (and having cntrl f5 to force re download of entire page) I can see both fine.

Thanks

Keithcaley · Post by **Keithcaley** » Thu 04 Feb 2016 4:21 pm

Erm...

I couldn't actually see the 'Like' icon while I was still reading your post... (Lame excuse!)

I have done so now though, thank you very much!

Cally · Post by **Cally** » Thu 04 Feb 2016 7:11 pm

Oh dear having read through all this I have no idea if anything has changed, is that possible or is it an obvious change. I am generally IT challenged which doesn't help

Have you gone to the User Control Panel to change the colour? look at Erol's posting above to show how to do it and then you are done

jimm · Post by **jimm** » Fri 05 Feb 2016 9:13 am

Tried that still no change

Post by **Soner** » Fri 05 Feb 2016 9:19 am

Go to User Control Panel - Board Preferences - select "my new style" - Metro Violet Red / blue / teal or green and then submit?

If you want to change again, note that User Control Panel link in New format is at vey top of page around mid area.

Keithcaley · Post by **Keithcaley** » Fri 05 Feb 2016 10:03 am

Using Firefox (again) but not Chrome, I occasionally find that the first character of the heading is missing a bit at the left hand side...

Hi Soner
Are you still adding photographs to the gallery? I have sent some on a couple of occasions but have not been added, Don't know if I am doing something wrong when I attach them.

Post by **Soner** » Fri 05 Feb 2016 12:55 pm

MikeK,
Yes, please can you send again to info@kibkom.com
I may have missed with all the emails I get. Sorry.

sophie · Post by **sophie** » Fri 05 Feb 2016 1:19 pm

Like Owl Lady and Cally, I'm dyslexic when it comes to this sort of thing, but I'm about to have go as per Soners instructions. If I'm never seen again......"its been nice knowing you all"

sophie · Post by **sophie** » Fri 05 Feb 2016 1:28 pm

Well here I am again, (much to some peoples dismay I suspect) 5 mins or so later, in full glorious Teal. It'll be a while before I get used to looking on the opposite side of the page to see Avatars etc All appears to be OK! Am on Windows 7 and have Internet Explorer (oldies but goodies) . I may change from Teal when I'm working by artificial light.
