Upgrade

I dunno, I'm finding it intrusive and unnecessary. I preferred the old world times function which could be accessed from the menu bar. It also probably would look nicer if there were a larger distance between it and the bar at the bottom and, when applicable, the posting rules box.

Some icons are still missing in Sword Dojo. We haven't got the albums icons in the album part, the throbber is missing from after we edit posts in simple view and the icons for going to the quote are sadly not there either.

Couple of issues which I've had for a while though, the Links and Downloads manager is a bit of a chore to navigate for me at the moment. This is due to the category depth shown by the display (currently three). It would be much easier if it only showed a category depth of two or showed three in a more organised layout.

The favourite smilies options probably should go under the "Settings and Options" part of the UserCP navigation strip rather than under "Your Profile" due to it, unlike those options there, not being part of the visable profile which other users can see.

I notice the odd scrolling now too. It's normal in the Vanilla skin, but not in others. In only happens when viewing a topic. That makes a suspected template.

The Posting rules box is always at the top, except in the Vanilla skin. But there's no WorldClock in that one. ?

Something very weird that's probably related to the mouse scroll not working:
If I am trying to select a bunch of text and don't do it very quickly, sometimes it just interrupts the selection. Is the page constantly being refreshed anywhere at regular intervals?

Yup I cant sellect more than a little bit before it decides to stop letting me select. I dont know why the quick reply box is so slow to respond to keystrokes either, works fine in normal reply.

All these problems occur no where else.

(IE 7, Vista, The Guild Skin)

Oh, I use IE7 (with IE7Pro plugin) and WinXP Pro SP3 with Guild skin

Hello,

Not at all. Feedback is good. While I try several browsers and skins, it's far from likely that I spot every glitch/bug/oddity.

'It also probably would look nicer if there were a larger distance between it and the bar at the bottom and, when applicable, the posting rules box.'

This is about the WorldClock bar. The posting rules box is moved to the top (where it was in the old situation) before installing the clock. In which skin/browser/location do they interfere?

In Sword Dojo, both Firefox 3.0 and IE 7, the world clock bar has no space between the posting rules box (when it appears when replying to a thread) and the bar at the bottom. It also has a longer length than the actual bar at the bottom.

The same applies to the Guild skin and R:TW, but in this case the world times bar has the same length as the bar at the bottom which makes them appear integrated (which probably would be better than the space I originally suggested).

Just a couple of screenshots to demonstrate (sorry, I'm not very good at trying to explain things in writing):

Current Sword Dojo:

Current Guild:

Proposition for all skins:

The last one's a bit of a mess due to my image editing ineptitude. Sorry

It has the double arrow that means it can be hidden.

I do have it hidden, but even then I have the bar there which, I must say, is a little on the thick size. It may be more bearable if it were a little more distanced, just a line, from the items around it.

Thanks BTW, Tosa, for the work you've been doing so far and tolerating me - I'm probably becoming annoying now
