New Forum design - hard to read text of topic

[ZlamalJakub]

I have problems to read topics in the new forum design. I am using Firefox 15.0 browser.

All forum looks like in the fog. Font of the text of topic is not black but gray so it is difficult to read to me.

Is there any possibility to change forum appearance (in user preferences)?

>>...Is there a particlar issue you would like a timeline for? . Mark, I don't want to define a deadline because this is not my responsibility. So, there are a couple of issues I'd like to mention: . 1. It is hard to read texts on the IDZ because black colors are no longer used. In the new editor an RGB value for a text is ( 128, 128, 128 ). It would be nice to make it darker and an RGB value ( 96, 96, 96 ) or ( 64, 64, 64 ) will make a difference. I see that this is related to new web-design standards / policies adopted in Intel Corporation. However, think about IDZ users who are helping Intel Corporation for free to help in resolving different issues and problems with Intel software. Please respect our time! Because of different issues with the new IDZ web-site I was forced to reduce my activity and now I could hardly monitor about three forums. On the old ISN web-site I was able to monitor almost all forums. . 2. A performance problem with the IDZ. It was already described and here are steps to reproduce: . - Launch Internet Explorer - Select in menu: Tools -> Internet Options -> Press 'Select' button in 'Change how webpages are displayed in tabs.' -> Disable a checkbox 'EnableTabbed Browsing (...)' - Restart Internet Explorer - Open Windows Task Manager and select a 'Processes' property page ( click on a 1st column to order by name all running applications ) - Select a forum on the IDZ and try to open as many as possible posts, for example 20 or 30, by using right click and then 'Open in New Window' ( ! ). So, every post should be displayed in its own IE (!) - When all Internet Explorers loaded content CPU(s) utilization ( CPU column ) is NOT zero and something is continuously executed (!) and it affects the whole system. . I think it is related to a new editor control since there wasn't any network related transfers ( could be easily verified on 'Networking' property page of Windows Task Manager ) when I tested it. Also, a cursor in the editor control is not blinking like in a Windows Notebook, for example, and it is displayed almost continuously. . 3. Formatting of our comments. Can you see that I'm forced to use a dot '.' in order to separate different blocks of text in my comments and source codes. Here is a small example: [cpp] #include void main( void ) { printf( "Hello, IDZ!\n" ); } [/cpp] . 4. Can you see that a font was changed? . 5. [Edited] Can you see that it was NOT restored? However in some cases it is restored. . 6. Posts numbering was a very useful feature of the old ISN system. How could we refer to some post? . 7. 'Preview' button was deleted. . 8. Access to 'Files' of the old ISN system. I had lots of docs, zip files, screenshots, etc, and now I don't have a direct access to these files. . 9. When I press on a link '1 new' post the IDZ system doesn't display that last post.

>>...Embed content by wrapping a supported URL in … . . Could I embed an image using these directives? Is that a correct form: . SomeLocaDrive:\SomeFolder1\SomeFolder2\SomeImage.jpg

This is a feature request and it would be nice to have a new type of icon. When a problem is solved a post in a forum could be marked as 'Solved' and the icon should be changed. In that case IDZ users will be able to see that solution was found, etc.

(1) Reinstate post numbering. (Which post am I replying to now?) (2) Reinstate Previous / Next buttons when reading a post thread (3) Text colour darker (4) I haven't tried to attach files for a while but hopefully Fortran files will be invited to join the party. And maybe C/C++/C# if we have to ;-) Would be nice to have : For a very short while there was a time when unread topics were in a different colour to the rest. That was very nice. I sometimes miss a new post which has 0 views as I quickly skim looking for "n new" If I remember correctly the "unread" colour was magenta rather than cyan. I miss seeing my handsome features next to my name, and editing my profile does not give me any option to reinstate / re-send my photo. Not that I am vain or anything but ...

>>...(4) I haven't tried to attach files for a while but hopefully Fortran files will be invited to join the party... . I tried it with txt files and it worked well. However, Jim had an opposite problem when he tried to delete a file with extension 'docx' after it was attached to a post.

>>3. Formatting of our comments. Can you see that I'm forced to use a dot '.' in order to separate different blocks of text... This is a test 1: [EDITED] FIXED. Thank you! aaa bbb ccc 111 222 333 This is a test 2: [EDITED] Not FIXED yet: extra lines are added and "include arrow-left io.h arrow-right" is Not displayed properly. [cpp] #include int main( void ) { return 0; } [/cpp]
