TalkBlade update

Post by arthas »

Hello!

We just updated TalkBlade forum to the latest PhpBB release.

Besides many improvements here and there, the main new feature is the responsive layout which should make the forum easily usable on phone, tablets and other devices with a small screen.

Let me know if you find problems!

Cheers,
Michele.

Hello!

Look up left, under the logo. There's a "Quick links" menu: it contains New Posts, Unread Posts, ...

Cheers,

Oh, you mean the tiny unlabeled icon! Terrible approach. Even experienced guys won't be aware of that. Be prepared to respond to the question I asked for the next several years.

Hello!

It's not unlabeled: it has the label "Quick links" on its right. ;)

Not on my smart phone! Also can't find "first unread post" or "user control panel".

Hello!

Ah, on the mobile it's unlabeled, you are right!

User control panel is on the right side: click on your username. Seems a quite new approach, but shared by many other mobile-friendly web sites so people should get used to that. At least I hope so. :-)

Cheers,
Michele.

Mr. Arthas,

Is there any way to go to the TOP of a thread without scrolling like before?

If it's multi-page, select page 1, otherwise just hit "HOME" on the keyboard.
