The New Forum vs. The Old: Minor Text Attribute Compatibility Issues

Formats, Inline, Underline:

Thanks Rob.  I guess I didn't venture far enough into the sub-menu of the toolbar. 

Now, on to colors.  I'm thinking there's gotta be a custom-pallet jewel hidden somewhere.  Again, no biggie... just haven't stumbled into it (yet).

It's the non highlighted underlined A in the toolbar A  - the arrow to the right brings up the color pallet. The highlighted A is the background color.

Hovering the cursor over the toolbar selections shows info on their purpose.

RTR12, I found that color pallet... but it's got a different set of colors from those I used when I created the original post.  Again, it's not a big deal... I was just wondering if I missed a full color wheel of sorts that lets folks select their own color choices.  Given all the other issues we went through during the transition to the new forum software, I almost hesitate to even mention these minor things.

Thanks though.

I didn't remember the colors from the previous forum setup, didn't realize they were different? I am adjusting to the changes and some new things here are good, but I think I still liked the old format better overall. Oh well, to late now.

The only way you'd notice the difference in color selections would be if you resurrected an old thread and tried to keep the content consistent.  The new color pallet has more of a contemporary pastel look to it.  Some of the "standard" colors  that were in the former software are missing now.  No big deal though, but many times websites that provide a set of colors also allow users to add their own too.  Not sure if that option exists here... haven't stumbled into it (if it's there).

What I don't like on the new one, and maybe there is something I haven't tried either (trust me, I was thrilled when my first picture  posting after the change  "went", to my surprise) , is that I can't leave a space at the end of a sentence and start a new paragraph, without the beginning of said paragraph trying to return to the last sentence or "follow" it to the next line.  It just NOW, tried to skip a line, except when I went back up and typed "It" on the end of the above line, (ending in the work "line") and it carried over...but I had to begin back up there.

I don't have those problems, but I am out of the photo posting business, and have found that often I have to click a lot more than twice to open a "last unread post" link.  I cannot edit, and my back button just produces an endless ring of dots.

Otherwise it seems ok.
