So I figure this is why Oh Baby crashed last night...
But is it just me or does anyone else get part of the posts cut off because there is not enough room left on the screen with the banner on the right hand side ? Sorry if this sounds grumpy, I'm still waiting for my morning cuppa to kick in LOL  ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

it seems too that the layout - re how far across the page the forum goes - is different depending on where you access it from.
i havent left the oh baby site completely but havent had to re log back in to the forum yet... ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Hi Ladies!
Me again! For those of you that are having to scroll to see the posts etc, can you press print screen, then email that to me (by pasting it into your email) so I can see the problem and get it fixed or suggest how to fix it on your pc. I suspect for some it might be screen resolution issues, ohbaby is best viewed on 1024x 768 screen resolution (changeable in you control panel/display settings). As for font size, we had to change it to fit the new site, but...I think you can adjust it in under view/font size in explorer to large? this may however cause the screen to scroll from left to right(angela@ohbaby.co.nz). We change the colours to suit the new site, and the biggest reason for the change to the forum was so you can also access the other areas's of the site when you're in the forums etc... I'm trying to recreate the site not loging me in but can't seem to? Any help here would be fab! Thanks Ang |

Explanation;
I had delete my old one about the Hyundai, then clicked back on my browser to go back to that forum and it came up with a pop up saying delete this forum? I thought it meant the one I had just deleted since I was going back, but it meant her one (sorry Trish! we do love you) |

it's good to be able to look at the rest of the site from the forum pages - good change guys. i never had any problems with login as i had set my browser to remember my login, so this isn't a big issue for me, but good to see it is built into the site now.

Thanks Mel
It looks like the scroll issue is happening when people have long baby timer thingees and/or have put images in the post - Not sure how we will get around this, have asked the guys. Thanks very much for the email! |

I've lost the part where you can update your details for the forum profile (the my profile for ohbaby! under community is different). Has anyone else or is it just me? ------------- |

snap maree, i was just coming here as i want to change my signature - am sure it is preggy brain that is preventing me from seeing the button
oh and a complaint angie!!!! i jsut checked my profile, and my date of birth is set at 30 december 1899!!!! what the???? i realise i am getting older, but that is not good for the old self esteem to see that  wonder if the computer looks at me each day and made a decision on my age based on that ------------- Lyla - mum to Xanthe - my big 4 year old

nope, the profile under the post suggestion doesn't work. The page is still 'there' though (I got it from my browser history) - there's just no link on the site to get there. ------------- |

| Yeah it worked for me too and I love the new look except the small font. Just out of curiosity how come we cant cut and paste from word for example? (Would be sooo much easier for the weight loss chart hehe) |

Robyn - I'm not sure why, but the same rule applies to the whole site. It's something to do with the way Word documents retain their formatting, and the formatting isn't compatible with the HTML formatting that is needed for the site. You can cut and paste from Notepad, but it doesn't retain the formatting so would probably be just as much of a mission as the way you're doing it now. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I've also noticed that when I go to switch to the next page of a thread, that it bumps me right to the bottom and I have to drag the page up to the top where I want to start reading - this is when I use the drop down box at the end that says "Page 2 of 3" or however many. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

Yeah, I've noticed that too Jax. It also does it to me when I go to look at the last posting on a thread - it bumps me to the middle of the page, approx where I was on the main topic page! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

I've noticed that too... weird. Well, I like the new look - looks really cool (and yes, I like the pink!). Only thing is - the font's a bit tiny to read! I was struggling big time with seeing anything much on here this morning, and put it down to my shocking 'morning vision' (all a blur for those first 20 mins or so!) but here I am at 1/4 to 4 with the same issues... any way the fonts can be a bit larger? ------------- Andie |

| I quite like the new look - I love that I won't have to login every time. I must admit that I was surprised that it didn't have that feature when I joined. The font is pretty small - I am glad that I have really good eyesight, but I also know that good eyesight is pretty rare! |

like the new layout, hate the small font. And find that when clicking back or going to some pages in posts that I end up in random spots on the page. ------------- ">

Thats ok about my post :P I am liking the new pink format but not the smallness of the font and post sizes, Having to scroll to the bottom of the page to move it across is also very annoying! also can someone explain why we have to reenter our email address every time I come on this site... before I didnt!

The font is wayyyyy too small to read, i have to almost sit on the screen to read it, and, as much as I love the pink, coupled with the small font, I have got sore strained eyes after about 10 mins tonight. Also, don't like having to scroll back up to the top of the next page I am veiwing (whingy, i know...)
However, I do love not having to type in the whole email/password carry on anymore! YAY ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Have you guys tried to change the font settings in your explorer???
I have a huge screen so it isn't a prob for me
I like the new layout. I was going to ask someone with technical know-how to tell me how I could fit the whole screen on the page but Ange already let us in on that helpful bit of info so I'm set!! I think the remember me thing worked as well! Yay! |

| I've just figured out that when it takes you to the bottom of the page, it's delayed, then bumps you to the top... so it works kinda... just have to work out what is making it delay. |
