Hiya Dan.

Still loving the new site but could we have the 'back to top' button on the bottom of each page please?

Thanks,

Ian

Hi Ian

No problem at all, done now on thread pages.

I can't remember if it was on all forum pages on the old site? If there's somewhere else you'd find it useful let me know and I'll add it in.  :)

Great new site - and gave me the chance to look over the whole site and not just the forum for the first time.

You have some fantastic and useful content!!

I tried to watch your sheep videos but before the video was watched it looped straight onto the next one and didnt let me finish watching - dunno if its just a problem with my PC though - might be worth someone else trying it?

Again - what a fantastic resource - best of luck.

Great new layout Dan, thanks for your hard work on this. probably would prefer a pastel background colour instead of the stark white as it's a bit hard on the old mincepies... might be just me up too early and not enough coffee yet.

That's Rosemary's doing, she wrote most of the content and there's a lot more to come.

Some of them are short, and when they finish you should see a screen like the one attached, offering some more videos. Please let me know if you're experiencing something different and I'll investigate.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be tweaking the colours today to make it more readable. The old forum used a white background, but the different font on here seems to be harder on the eyes!

Like the new layout - but can't find the "read replies to your post" and "read new posts" buttons.  Are they still here?  hope so, because that was how I read the forum.  if they have gone is there a facility to "mark as read"?

Hi Greenerlife

They are up on the top bar - 'REPLIES' for New Replies and 'UNREAD POSTS' for Read New Posts
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

very nice, Dan! Worth waiting for  :bouquet:

One thing - if I click on the link when I got a reply on a post it always starts with the first post on the thread. I'd prefer to see the latest reply first like it used to be. Can I change a setting for this myself somewhere?  :&>

Sounds like a bug. Which link do you click? Is it in an email or in the site navigation?

when I click on the email link. it used to put me straight through to the response to my post or the latest on the thread, now I have to scroll down to find the newest post. It's probably easy to sort out... :&>
