We still have a number of issues in our tech backlog. Some of these we've given guidance that they will take some time, since we do not directly control the schedule on which they are addresses. We just wait.

Thanks ^.

So that does sound like that other thread that I mentioned. Some of the issues described there are not addressed, so I assume we're still waiting for those to bubble up to the top as well :(.

It really depends what they are.

I sent you a PM [at your request] on PPRuNe highlighting couple of [perceived] simple ones.

  • Highlight 'Current Page' on multi-page threads better [as on PPRuNe]
  • Sort out demarcation on Sticky and Normal Threads on Forum home page [like PPRuNe}

Link for those not familiar with another IB Forum, which also has iBobi as Administrator ...

As these are style and not software changes, the FT style is going to prevail here.

A triumph of style over utility, then. :td:

[MENTION=359244]IBobi[/MENTION], the main one I'm thinking of is this: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/29219996-post1059.html, which you asked for to help iron out the confusion around old / new behaviour of certain links, the confusing naming where something with "Posts" in the title gives a thread list, etc

I think the thread was closed shortly afterwards, and no sign of that being worked on :(.

My apologies if others have already noted that your page links box (the box just above the Quick Reply box), has a style that is backwards of most other sites. Your box shows the page currently being viewed in a blue font, and the hyperlinks to other pages in a black font. I believe that you should change this to show the page that is currently being viewed with black font and the hyper-links to all of the other pages in the blue font.

I'm really not sure what you mean. Can you screen shot?

I will ask [MENTION=790438]IBJoel[/MENTION] to look into these. Most of that does at first glance appear to be "core" software changes, not the quick fixes that [MENTION=170264]IBxAnders[/MENTION] was referring to, so it may take a while, if they are even willing to do it. Bear in mind, we can/will fix bugs, we will do our best to restore pre-existing functionality; but making changes other than that will require a community consensus as they tend to work well for some and not for others (subjective).

[MENTION=359244]IBobi[/MENTION], but they were due to changes that were introduced without that consensus (as in noone asked for them) when those updates were rolled out. After an amount of toing and froing where it was clear that the dev team didn't understand what they had changed the linked, consolidated, consensus driven request was created.

If something changed and we need to change it back, we will do our best to resolve it.

Okay ... that did not work. I guess I need a tutorial on what will, and will not, work on FT now. Is there a maximum image size? What image format is best?

Click the little photo icon. Almost any standard image file works.

What I want is for the clickable hyper-link numbers to be blue and the number for the page I am on to be black. Instead, the clickable numbers are black (unless hovered upon) and the page that I am presently on is blue.

ETA: And I do know how to crop images. So I am not sure why this one did not crop.
