Well they have Vodafone  hotspots on Cows at Galsto so he should be able to see what is going on here while in the West Country<br>

Big thanks to Andy and Dave. Welcome thanks to Arkady. Miss SG (sometimes) and sg.org is unique; nothing like it here in North Wales.

miss annie

We miss you. Please let Taff Bach know that the sewing machine is a wonderful worker!

Arkady

Hello good people FYI, the upgrade to the forum software that I mentioned should happen soon. Hopefully that will mean that we can start experimenting with new features. It may have other unintended consequences, aesthetic or otherwise, but hopefully nothing too irritating. The site might go down for a bit. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Gracious. Cats, perhaps? Worrying...

Arkady

Upgrade and app testing in progress, please bear with us... there will be some weirdness...

Sutent

Thank you very much for the upgrade Arkady I really like it. Any chance you could adjust the colours slightly for read and non read threads as my eyes cannot differentiate the current colours.

Arkady

Okelydokely. Upgrade has been completed – welcome to the new, more secure SG.org. The upgrade broke the theme, so you will notice that things look a bit different. It may be possible to restore the old theme, or something like it. Otherwise I will play around with other themes. Might even put it to a poll. Speaking of polls – they now work. You can even create your own, I think. Other plugins (like the who’s online function) have broken – hopefully to be restored soon. I will try to work out what the thumbnail icon options (‘avatars’) are – don’t freak out about them just yet. If anything else is broken/missing/crap then let me know. @sutent – I hope so!

Detritus

Hmm hmm and hmm again.

Detritus

This is excellent no clue what the symbols above the box where you type means so I will leave well alone as in my mothers words 'I might break the Internet'

Arkady

@Detritus: How did you change your avatar?

Detritus

I went to the full site button then change profile on that page is a upload picture option. Not that hard even for a luddite like me. Something I have noticed is that is doesn't post immediately you have to leave the thread back to the main menu then back to the thread.

Arkady

<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Ok, ta. PLEASE DON'T DO THAT as it may break the site. Will try to fix it.</span>

Arkady

If people want their own avatar (like mine) then please register for one here - simple and free: [http://en.gravatar.com/](http://en.gravatar.com/) Make sure you use the same email address for Gravatar that you used when registering with SG.org.

Sutent

@Arkady. Thanks. Looks so exciting

Detritus

Let the train take the strain Sutent?

Arkady

Excuse the aesthetic quibbles - duplicated buttons, etc. Will work on it.<div>:-|<br>Fancy emoticons now work.<br></div>

Arkady

OK, apparently it should be OK for you to change your own image in your profile.  Still, I'd recommend registering with Gravatar instead as it will then work on other forums too.

Sutent

Thanks for the colour change. Much better for my eyes

<div>Right, I think this now looks handsome and clean, much like myself.<br>Comments welcome (on the site, not on my own visage).<br></div>

Arkady

Embarrassingly, during streamlining we managed to remove the ‘create new discussion’ button. Sorry. Will fix shortly.

gardener-joe

Great but can you change the text colours to black? The use of paler colours on white paper is not comfortable.

Arkady

That's troubling, as the text is black for me. Anyone else having this problem?

Jonathan

All black for me (on iOS). I like that you can now see number of views as well as number of comments. John Jones thread up at 27k plus!

gardener-joe

on ipad see for example the system subtext in each thread description, e.g. views, comments, most revent ... on the main page

miss annie

Black for me on ancient iPhone and on my work kit Kindle. Annoyingly, I can read everything on Kindle but it won't let me post on it - doesn't bring up my keyboard, think the new software isn't compatible.

Sutent

On my android devices text is black on posts. However on main page text is blue

ADGS

Oooh, fancy.
