Hey Laurie - you sure you haven't opened up a can of worms asking for feedback from 'everyone'?

It sounds like it's a 99% improvement from the old format but suffering from about 1% glitches. Great job - stick with it!

It's all fantastic, and getting it right is what I'm all about. We'll all get this working spot on, no worries.

No doubt at times it's frustrating having to deal with the idiosyncrasies of every platform, but I simply can't sleep at night, unless it's working well for all.

As we're on the 3rd page now, and getting down to the nitty gritty - if you have a challenge, the best way to get things solved is to post

1) which OS (e.g. Mac/PC/iPad/iPhone etc),

2) which browser/version (e.g. IE 6/7/8/9, Safari, Chrome, Firefox etc) (see the menu/about of your browser)

3) Screen grabs are handy, but understand not everybody is up to that..

> On a PC you can, hit the PrtScn button, run paint, paste, save, then upload.
> On Mac, there is the Grab utility.
> On iPhone hold down button at base, then tap the power on/off
> Android click the [ ] screen grab button

Thanks again everybody for all your input/help in getting it right for all.

Version 5.1


That was released last century. I'm with Sailhack - don't beat yourself up if you can't support versions that Microsloth don't even support anymore...

For some reason on chrome on my galaxy s3 I've had to start zooming out a tiny bit when I open a thread. Sounds like a similar problem a few people mention on the previous page. The text oonly extends a few characters off the edge of the screen , so it isn't much , just a little thing.

What happened overnight?
All stays as it should be wide screen or fixed view, however when tabing into an actual post on windsurf gear review, the page needs to scroll across. Doesnt fit the screen anymore
Oh and its the latest software on this little desk top


Are able to resolve this part?

Thanks Ian K for the screen grab - that looks horrid. Challenge is, I tried it across 5 browsers here and couldn't make it look like that .. maybe you could go to the About menu of your browser, and let me know the version?

In the meantime, the ways it's rendered has changed, so hoping that will fix it...


OSX 10.4.11 but it looks like you've fixed it already

I have to scroll side to side to read a post (even if no big pics in the thread, the max line width is about 5 or 10 characters too wide)


On the desktop view? All topics? If so, can you also advise which os/browser/version you're using?

You can no longer click and drag to highlight a word and then click the italics or bold icon, you have to manually insert


That's new .. seems to work here .. again, if you can let me know os/browser/version, I can run up that and have a look...




I dunno - internet explorer but how do i tell the version? Think it is 6 (??)



I just tried again to highlight a word (works) and clicked on italics and bold etc (doesn't work)

it puts the code at the end

1) No add image on iPhone.

Pretty sure that's a limitation of the iPhone, unlike Android/Desktop, it doesn't support uploading images to websites (someone please correct me if I'm mistaken)

2) IE 5.1 / 6.0

Internet Explorer 6 and prior have been the bane of every web developer in the world - time to upgrade boys ..

Microsoft even have a website devoted to getting rid of it:

3) Galaxy S3 - looking to get my hands on one of these to investigate.

Got my new phone today (HTC one xl) and have the same problem. I'm using chrome aswell. It's not a big problem and it isnt really that annoying it just isn't perfect

not sure if this is my brouser.... or is even something that is new / happened, but it is difficult to determine the name to the post

The post time is above the line that starts the next post making it look like the time stamp is attached to the wrong name / post above it.
Not really a problem on big posts, but with a bunch of smaller ones it sometimes looks like it goes picture, state, post count, name/time stamp.
not name/time stamp, picture, state, post count
(didnt the old one used to lightly shade every other post?)

end up quoting the wrong guy :P

anyway just something i noticed ;)

looks really nice.

Hi Laurie

What I meant in my request was to be taken to the last post of a previously read topic. saves you scrolling twenty posts to get to the last one unread.

I just got my first mail since the revamp and could have missed it.
Doesn't stand out like the previous one did.

Just one small thing, there is no way to get back to the seabreeze homepage. (before the updates you could click the seabreeze logo and it would take you to the homepage.)

Heard of Google Ad Choices? Google it. I wonder if you do Google it whether it will then start to give you ads for itself, or go into some infinite logic loop and/or divide by zero...

Hey Buzz!
I wouldn't have bothered you with this but you did say "working well for all" and so that would have to include me. Yes??
Soo, using
Windows XP
Internet Exploder 8

I have a problem inserting smilies in texts to post on forums.
Also with bold/italics/underline etc.
No matter where I place the cursor and try to place them they always go to the end of the text.
So for instance, when I wanted the boldface up above, it ended up at end of message so I have to type in the control codes manually.
I don't know if someone else has mentioned this 'cos I haven't read through the last 3 pages.
It always worked fine until the update so I'm thinking of asking for my money back.
How long does the waranty last?
And how much will the refund be when I get my money back?
