Watch Repair Talk Website Design

[Mark]

I decided to change the design of the site. The main reason was that I was tired of the huge banner at the top which was always there.

 

I hope you guys don't mind, however, if you prefer the old design you can change back as long as you are logged in. You will see a link at the bottom of the page "Change Theme" and I have made "Old Theme" available there.

Good idea, Mark - the banner took up way too much space. I prefer this!

[Lee]

I don't have a lot to say on the forums, but check in everyday & this design is far better. Looks better quality too.

Works for me as well Marrk

Cheers, Vic

Great move Mark, I like the change too!

[Mark]

This was back in April last year. But thanks anyway :)

I hadn't seen this post but I did notice the change some time ago...just counts as a visit for my email updates too. Cheers, Bob

A new version of the software is coming out soon. That will be fun. Or maybe not.

Excellent, the site is working great from here, never a glitch. I'm excited to see the new changes and hope the new version doesn't involve too much for you Mark.

While this topic is active, I might as well put in a suggestion: the .crosshatch CSS style of the current theme adds a lot to the rendering time and makes Safari on my Mac stutter when scrolling pages. If I remove the crosshatch (via the web inspector) scrolling speed becomes normal again. 

{    /* background: url('/Images/crosshatch.png'); */
    background-repeat: repeat;
    background-attachment: fixed;
}

Thanks Rob - I never noticed that on my computer but if it is causing problems I will remove it.

[Rob]

It's probably only noticeable on slower computers / graphics cards. I see it on my old MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8 and ATI Radeon X1600 graphics but not on my OS X 10.10 machine.

No problems with re-design it,s the content that really matters to most

Thanks Rob - I never noticed that on my computer but if it is causing problems I will remove it.

:thumbsu:  Although, I didn't notice lag. I think its better without it. Cleaner. :geek:

[Rob]

Thanks for the quick fix, noticeable smoother sailing on the MacBook now.  :thumbsu:

[Mark]

Thanks for letting me know about it Rob, very helpful :)

Hi everybody.

 

Mark, I have a problem and I don't know if it is common to others, related with this migration, or not for all. Even I logoff my seccion, when I came again to the WRT site, I was logged on. It's happened for me for the last several logoffs.

It is normal?

Thanks

Clear your cookies, I have a website & migrated to the same software as here & some members where reporting having issues with being logged off between visits or having trouble logging on in the first place. once they cleared the sites cookie & got a fresh one everything was OK.

[RicardoG]

Thanks Lee, I'll do this and check if it works.

Hi again. I made this but still the same . :pulling-hair-out:  I really don't know what I must do to fix this (assuming that this problem is in my PC). Yesterday night I left the site with "Sign Out", but today morning I'm back already "Signed In". I don't have problem with this but if it is a problem of the site, I suppose it will better to investigate what is wrong. Any other suggestion?

[bobm12]

How about the check box when you log in? is it checked? It shouldn't...

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

[RicardoG]

I remember to did no check any box, and only was show the box asking me if I want to remember my password. I never do this for all softwares or sites. Now, I can't see any box to check as when I open the site I am already login.

 

Cheers too

The box is checked by default so you will need to click on the box to remove the check mark. Since it doesn't show now, I will assume you will need to clear the saved passwords, cookies, history, etc in the tools menu if using explorer. Then re open the page and log in, taking care of removing the default check mark and accepting cookies afterwards since the page requires it.

 

Hope it helps,

 

Bob

I again. I did try to do all again. Clear all my cookies and clear all my temporary internen files and historic (now every site that I go with password to login, ask me to remember or not...), I saw the checked box you told and uncheck again, and even all of this, still the same. I am not worry due I am only one that use my PC, and I bring this to here only because I thought could be a problem of the site or of the server. I can live with this and save me time to make logon . :D Anyway, my sincere thanks for the help. I appreciate.

I wonder if it could be a matter of your os needing the latest updates. What is your operating system and what browser?

Thanks in advance.
