 Posted: 07/02/05 8:00 am ::: question for mac users |

is anyone else using the macinscott 2 template for this board?
if you are, have you had any problems with the new posts not showing up as green apples?
i haven't seen anyone complain about it, so i think there's something on my machine that's trampling on the macinscott template. but when i come on the board in the mornings, all the apples are clear. then, as time passes, the new posts start showing up as green, as they should. it's weird. i haven't been able to isolate what it is that triggers the correct display.

| whoa . . . it is so weird looking at the board with a different template! non-mac people should try the macinscott template. it seems much more airy than the other ones. i don't think you need a mac to use it - if i'm not mistaken, i use it on my pc at work.

hahahaha! well, that's not the exact word i wanted to use, but i couldn't find the right one. i guess it's because the macinscott template uses horizontal rules that are more, i don't know, faded? less bold than in other templates. so the look, at least to me, is softer than the other templates. and the indicators (new posts, unread posts, hot posts) are more obvious to me. tho i'm sure there's just a small percentage using that template. i've got so much software going on that i doubt i'll be able to narrow down what's gumming up the display, but i thought i'd ask.

There are several different looks for the board, some might call them skins, they are referred to in the documentation for this board as templates, but anyway, at the top of any of the pages on the board there is a link to Profile, click it and towards the bottom of that screen which has all your settings, there is a section with a pulldown menu called Board Style: I'm not sure which Board Style you are using, but there are about 5 different selections in the list, pick the one called Macinscott2 or the one called Classic, and then click the Submit button at the bottom, it will change the way the board looks, everybody should switch around with the different templates, you might like one better than the others. I personally perfer the Classic one, Bibb definitely like the Macinscott2, others like the original one, Pixelated.

Yeah I've got that game. But I'm not sure I took this image from that game's tape. I think it was taken from a regular season (2000) teaser before a Comets/Sparks TV game wherein they were showing the history of bad blood etc.
Oh those WERE the days.
