Welcome to the New NCT board. I know I should have posted this yesterday... but I was too tired. I still am working on it.


Toolbar buttons

Arcade: This is the newest feature to hit NCT. Here's the place to play the arcade games, challenge eachother to matches and waste your day away have a great time. There will be more games added so check back frequently.

Search: The search drop down is a great way to look for things. It has an advanced button if you cant find it.

Shortcut: This drop down is in place of the usercp button. It takes you directly to the sections. It is also where the Spellchecker is. Now you can find the correct spelling, or converstion list, at the click of a button.

Members: This drop down is for things only members can see. The arcade button may be added later. The members gallery is being worked on still, so excuse the mess.

Homepage: I have a new front page look. Check it out when you have the chance!


User Panel

Edit Options: There's a new area to choose your text color. Scroll down to User Font Color Options. No "#" needed. Below that is Miscellaneous Options. This is where you can pick you text editor device. It's a great new feature. I would suggest choosing the Enhanced Interface first. Then when you click to reply (not quick reply) or start a new thread you will be given many new options. Please play with them, you'll love it.

Edit Profile: Please take a moment to go here and re-select your flag. I have much nicer ones! :) This is also where your custom title is on the bottom.

Edit Profile Picture: This is a place for you to place a picture (no larger than 240/240). When you click on my profile you will see what I mean. If you have a picture that needs to be resized... please contact me and I will do that for you.

There are other areas listed for you to browse through also.


General Functions

Minimize Feature: On the sides of sections you will see http://www.nochicktrix.com/forum/images/buttons/collapse_tcat.gif. You can click on it to open and close sections of the board. It's really handy.

PM Blink: This is a new feature for whitecrow members who dont see their new PMs. The upper right section will blink when a new PM arrives.

Teasers: You may have already noticed the pop up that happens when your curser goes over a thread. The first post text 'pops up' to show you what it's about.

Username in Post: Instead of icons for homepage, PMs, etc... you simply click on a members name and it gives you a drop down with a list of options.

Arcade Trophy: If you see a little trophy by a member's avatar, that means they are the top scorer of a game. If you click on the trophy it gives you a drop down list of what game(s) they have the high score for and a link to that game.



Ther are lots of more new things to play with, so look around and have some fun! If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to contact me. There is also a thread for any errors (http://www.nochicktrix.com/forum/showthread.php?p=65176#post65176) that you find. PLEASE tell me and give me any specifics so that I may fix it.

Have fun!

What does it mean when the person's avatar is faded?

It means they're offline. :p

Y'know I have to say that it does look very pretty. However, I do find that having the horizontal bar with the avatar in between each post, rather than at the side of each post (as the old board was) does make it a bit harder to read down a thread.

New features are cool, though.

IT looks awesome!! You did a great job, and you should be damned proud of yourself. I know all the headaches and problems you went through, and I hope you can see that it was all worth it.

Sterling, try switching to the 'Hybrid' or 'Threaded' Thread Display Mode in your Control Panel. I see the menu to switch is not visible on each thread. Diva, is there any reason why not?

Sterling

Unfortunately, it appears that those options don't exist any more. In the options combo box, the only options now are "Linear - Newest First" and "Linear - Oldest First". The help page describes the "Hybrid" and "Threaded" modes, but they don't appear to be selectable.

Unfortunately those mods were causing havoc with some of the hacks I put in, so I disabled them. I actually prefer the horizontal look because it helps with long posts. You have more room across now. I know it's new... But I'm sure in time you can get used to it.

I tried... :(

Darn, I really like the 'Hybrid' mode myself. Both hybrid and threaded mode can be a great navigation help in lengthy discussion and allows to put logic into the flow of replies.

Pity they are gone :(

It means they're offline. :p

I really hate to be a nitpicker but I have to say I have come to detest this feature. Simply because part of the enjoyment of reading post/threads is the instanteneous 'recognizability' of people's writings by their avatar. Removing the avatar also creates a bit of a clumsy open space between posts.

Can this option be reconsidered? :confused:

The avatar's still there, Sys....I can still recognize avatars. Looks fine to me, and overall it's a cool feature.

Jake, I actually realized that myself just now. I was using IE 5.5 yesterday and the avatars just don't show up. I am using Mozilla now and I can indeed see the faded avatars! So I guess it's more of an old IE problem than anything else.
