Zovs your sig pic does now take up way less screen real estate on the new forum. The problem still exists that the new forum is not scaling signature pics the was the old forum did. I am sure your same sig pic was not being displayed so large on the old forum before you resized it down.

I can also try 30% and if that fails I can remove it.
I'm not trying to have a pop at you but 80-90% of your post screen size is signature fluff; eats up a lot of screen acreage and makes the forum awkward to scan.

Getting rid of sig images entirely, for every user, would improve browsing no end.

Thank you and I agree, it seems its just the signature section that is not scaling images, the post sections seem to be scaling just fine.

Is there a way to make the font size larger? It's very small and I find it hard to read.

I object to be called an offender when I did nothing wrong!

Will take some time to get use to and like most of my generation I hate change even for the better.

On the most positive side, a very great improvement with looking at and posting from my smart phone which I'm doing now. Don't think I've ever made a post to this forum before from my smartphone.

P.S. I just made a post w/jpeg from my PC and I have to say I really like this new forum format! I love being able to drag and drop my jpeg into the message box. For me, I'm finding this new format a GREAT improvement!

Maybe so, but it only affects what you see, so it's not like they would be turning off for the entire forum.

I still really, really hate the colors, look, and sizing of the new forum.

So disappointing that hardly anything was changed from the testing phase.

I am really happy that now it is possible to post multiple images in a same post via a forum.
And not more threads with a jpg only, while in other threads it possible to use png/jpg. It was driving me crazy.

Thanks for this much needed update!

What have you tried? Have you explored the new interface thoroughly? Did you turn on email notifications to subscribed forums in "My Forums"? Did you go into the User Control Panel and turn on the in-forum notifications there?

Does anyone know the significance of yellow logistics points?  They appear to be related to hex-side crossings.  I haven't found any reference to them in the manual.

Currently doing a AAR GG war in east 2 and for some reason attachment screen shots wont open.

You can certainly add the attachment and sometimes it even asks you if you want to " place it inline " you say yes then preview or submit it but the screen shot is not even there.


Dont understand it was working fine 24 hour or so ago.

Sent PM to the administrator just want to know if anyone else is having the same issue.
