As for quoting , im not sure what you mean, im using a laptop and when i clicked 'quote' to reply to you, your post came up in a box ,the curser under it ready for me to type a reply.. What do you mean its in a vertical bar? Cal x Thanks Cal. On my computer the quoted post is not enclosed in a box but merely has a vertical line to the left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Pom Queen Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Thanks for the feedback Kev. You are the only one who as been negative about it but we will take your comments on board. Like Cal says I get a quote box on all my devices, mobile and desktop. Signature I also find easy. There are a lot more positives with the new forum which I'm sure you will get use to if you do stay around. Some people don't like change but sometimes you have no options.

No problem Kate and I appreciate fully that you had to move on from the old forum and now Cal has pointed me in the right direction for finding the last unread post, things are a lot easier. I was unable to see an editing facility in my account earlier but now I can, so that is no problem either. I still can't figure out why a quoted post is not in a box on my computer though when other members are? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if @Cerberus1 can make the border stronger. I've added a photo of the quote box I get. I struggle with my eyes but I can make it out but I also understand everyone's eyes are different so it could be that it's not visible to you. let me know if you can see it on this attachment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only just make out an arrow in the top right which goes bold if I hover over it which I think may be the corner of what should be the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Definitely must be an eye sight thing. I can clearly see a border around the quoted text and the quoted text box is a different colour to the reply box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carob Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Oh dear Cerberus 1, here I am again. Not sure what's happening, but I'm not receiving any replies in my emails from PIO, usually I'm on the Parents Visa thread. So far I've posted two replies and not had anything in my box. Not sure if that makes sense, but I'll blame it on my new IPad!! Hope you can sort me out, with thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment, it looks like you're set to get 1 email per day for that thread with all the updates from that day. If you click this link -> https://www.pomsinoz.com/followed/ or alternatively click on your name at the top right of any of the forum pages, then "Manage Followed Content' you'll be able to change type type and frequency of notifications you get. If everything looks ok there, then I'd check Gmail's spam/junk folders or similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 On 07/04/2017 at 10:41 AM, Johndoe said: I recently saw a post (can't find it now) bemoaning the loss of the "New posts" button. The reply was to hit the "Unread" button to find new posts. Unfortunately, unless I'm having a brain fart or am just plain thick, this bears no resemblance to the "new posts' button of old and it seems to show the thread but one is unable to go directly to the new posts as it directs you simply to the thread and the thread takes you to page one and then you have to read how many pages there are and then scroll or type the last page to get to the last post. Also, why are the number of pages on each thread faded and only show when you mouse over them? This seems to serve no practical purpose other than to deter those with poor sight who can hardly see the faded page numbers, from accessing the pages. I also can't find how to change my signature or avatar but I guess there may be something in a FAQ but if that's the case, and I need to read that, then as someone who can normally find how to do things by "instinct" it again highlights the unfriendliness of the current setup. I hate to say it, and I know a lot of work and grief has gone into this forum, but in it's current format it really is the most un-user friendly forum that I've ever used. Even the manner in which quoted posts are shown is alien as most forums that I've used have the quoted post boxed off or underscored to highlight the answer below as opposed to just a vertical bar down the left. I'm not whingeing just for the sake of it but merely offering how things could be improved, if possible. TBH, the first day the forum came back online I thought that I'd never re-visit due to it's current format but live in hope of future improvement................either in the forum or my adaptability :-) One thing I have just discovered is that a lot of quoted posts do not have the name of the OP on them, so one has no idea who made the original post Doesn't seem to be universal but it I just went through a long thread totally confused as I couldn't work out who said what. As I don't post much except on some visa issues I have kept quiet, but I will admit now that I agree with John. Its not a very user-friendly forum any more. I've used dozens of forums over the years, on many subjects, and most of them are very intuitive to use, as PIO used to be. Its not as easy to navigate as before, moving from one forum to another, and trying to find new posts/threads is fraught with problems. I'm sorry to criticise as I know a lot of work has gone into it, but I find its now very hard work reading PIO, and I'm glad I'm not actively seeking advice. I do however also accept I am in a minority, as most people seem to love it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus1 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 It's difficult knowing what to set as the 'default' when setting the forum up. When the forum came back online, evidently some members who hadn't been online for years were getting bombarded with email notifications about threads they'd posted on in the past - suffice to same I got one or two complaints, so I probably turned off the default email options, then members could choose on an individual basis what they wanted to receive. I should of posted about it though as it's new forum software and there's no guide explaining how things work (which there was with the previous software). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
