It's very poorly laid out, and difficult to see what's going on... too much white space too. Not a fan, and not sure what customisation the site owner will have available on the template?

 

Everything is Left aligned and there isn't enough space for current avatars to fit properly.

 

When choosing to edit a post, the edit options are way over to the right hand side of the screen. Lots of work to do to make this work...

Pretty sure Rob will be on this thread later to advise us all as to what is happening with the new format and am sure he will want feedback, I know certain functions are not ready yet and he is working on the mobile version

Looks fine to me using Firefox in Ubuntu Linux and/or Windoze 7.

 

It's clear that things are still in flux so please, people, if you have made an adverse comment, post here and let Rob (Mr oneBoro) know if/when things come good for you again.

When clicking on 'edit' to edit a post, the options are still showing up over at the right hand side Rob.

 

I see what you mean. The options appear under the Delete button for me, rather than under the Edit button where they should be.

Guys,

 

I think the issues to do with the layout being clumped together are because your browser has cached the old version of the styles for the site.

 

To clear your cache use the instructions from the site below for your browser (note you may need to log back in afterwards):

@DownSouth, can you send the following to Rob please?  (geek speak to follow :))

 

Rob,  The site is looking good I like the new layout.

 

On a lot of the sites we work on we cannot rely on the end users having enough knowledge to clear their cache of old CSS files.   Therefore what we use is a mechanism called "Cache Busting", this is simply a way of telling the browser "this css is different to the last". 

 

To achieve this on the One Boro site you can simply append a version number to the end of the CSS url in a query string. 

 

e.g. where you currently reference this CSS file:

 

link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href=" http://oneboro.co.uk/forum/cache/themes/theme2/global.css"

 

change it to

 

link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://oneboro.co.uk/forum/cache/themes/theme2/global.css?v=1"

 

Then the next time you are ready to publish a new CSS you can simply update the v=1 to v=2, the beauty of this is that the browser uses the full URL to check it's cached files, but the web server only uses the file URL without the query string, therefore everything works as before but better.

 

See: http://twosixcode.com/notes/view/simple-cache-busting-for-css-and-js

 

If you don't want to carry the overhead of updating the query string manually each time you could use the following to automatically set the version number: http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2009/05/04/force-css-changes-to-go-live-immediately/

 

(Note: I don't use php myself but the blog post above looks accurate)

 

Also the above mechanism works for images and JavaScript files too

 

Hope that helps!
