Just noticed "New Posts" is now under "Quick Links" :unsure:

We upgrading today? :w00t:

I think having New Posts in the original place is better. more of a "One-Touch" effort.

Nope. :P

I'm just playing around...
I saw it like this on another site so decided to try it here.

I prefer the old style ;) Like the one touch method ;)I like it better for 800*600, it looks kinda cramped the old way at that size.

Which ones are more handy to have always available?

Well I've switched to the "Chromo" skin now cause it was too much hard work clicking twice for "New Posts" :P

Don't mind some getting downsized but I think New Posts, Search and User CP should never be moved. They're used more often than others.

Oh and no one ever uses 800*600 anymore do they? Even 15" monitors can go bigger than that :unsure:

I didn't know people used new posts, seeing as it doesn't work properly :blink: (well, never has for me anyway :unsure: ).

I'll add back new posts.

The one above "Open Buddy List" seems to be "FAQ" but like I said they seem to be missing :blink:

and when you click on "Search" it's just as split up as "QuickLinks" at my end too.

So are you gonna change the New Posts bit back to where it was then

It's an Opera problem. :snooty:

Actually it is and I don't know why. I thought it might be my ad-blocker but it doesn't seem to be that way. Might go ahead and switch to another theme. Besides, as Sara has noticed, "New Posts" isn't in the same position and it's making me :fear:

Ross, you're still young - one day you will learn the futility of arguing with a woman.

It's like magic - whatever you do or say, they're always right :(

I didn't really want to make a new topic about this but I noticed something strange.

Wheras most people's post count increased due to old posts in the lounge and other off-topic areas now counting, this guy's (http://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/member.php?u=19946) post count has gone down by about 1000. I distinctly remember him having over 5000 posts before the change was implemented.

Why is this?

Sure, you can say that it doesn't matter 'cos post count doesn't matter - but I'm just curious.

Sure, you can say that it doesn't matter 'cos post count doesn't matter - but I'm just curious.The point of making the off-topic posts count toward post count was that post count would actually be a post count.
So after i changed it to count posts in off-topic i did a recount of everyone's posts so they will be acurate.
Most went up because of posting in the lounge, he might have gone down because he might have lost posts during the switch to vb, he might have had a lot of posts deletedin IPB which were still counted here, or some other bug might have happened.
If you click Find all posts by Gre1 (http://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/search.php?do=finduser&u=19946) you will see that he really has 4000 posts, not 5000.;)

Short answer: His count is accurate now, it must have been wrong before.;)

Negative. With the Chromo skin, the 'Search' and 'Quick Links' were drop down menus, now they aren't. The 'Quick Links' drop down menu contained the 'Mark all forums read' link. Why aren't they drop down menus anymore?

There is a link for it at the bottom of the page, but why the heck would I want to go down there, when everything else is at the top.

My question still stands, why remove it??

That is a firefox bug that comes up sometimes, just clear the cache and it will work fine.
