Thats because the post id hasn't been amended to the url. If you refresh the page, and then go to post you just made, it would/should bring you to the top. Its actually working as it should.

Re: Upgrade Coming - Downtime

For those that are unaware, the upgrade is complete. The blogs have been upgraded, the forums have been upgraded, and the server has been upgraded.

I have also gone in and resized the images on HC. They will now default to 250px wide if they are over a certain size. If you click the image, it will open its original image size in a new window.

As you can likely tell, HC has taken on a new look. The reasoning is very simple. We want the site to be easy on the eyes for everyone that reads here. The blue is very clean and subtle.

Once I finish the modifications on this style, our members will be able to select from a series of different "looks" for HC and set the one they like the most as their default.

There are more modifications to come today, so don't be surprised if you see a few changes.

I also want to note that Liz helped me with the colors. I was having a hard time deciding on some color combinations that flowed nicely together and she came up with a pallette that allowed me to create the style you see now.

Re: Upgrade Coming - Downtime

The right column on every page OTHER than homepage is collapsable. If you wish to close it, simply click the image on the left of the welcome block. To make it reappear, click it again.

Well I am color blind, but I like the new colors. Very professional feel.

Rich, when I click the "blog" link at the very top of the page, nothing happens.

When you click the "Blogs" link at the very top of the page, the form field at the top should refresh. If you look on the button, it will then say "Search Blogs". (Or it should.) It won't take you to the blogs. it just allows you to search them from any page on the site.

You will get use to them not being there.

Re: Upgrade Coming - Downtime

I know Liz! I am the same way about changing things around.
But I can adapt.
And I'm older than you so you should be able to as well!
