    As long as the exact number of promotes is there, that's all that matters

    Probably in a minority here, but you used to be able to hover over the likes and LOL's on the profile page and find an acurate figure, but that seems to have vanished now...🤷‍♂️
    You've got more than 34,000 likes and 11,000 LOLs. Does the accurate figure really matter?
    Ali...bit of a dig there eh...
    It's just a part of the old profile that I liked, now, it may be gone which would be a shame, but just an enquiry mate that's all...

    Apologies if this was mentioned already, but https://forum.charltonlife.com/categories/general-charlton seems to be coming up blank for me - I've always tended to engage here via purely that category (love you all, but I'm purely here for football content exclusively).

    Followed categories work if I favourite it, but seemingly not for that direct link. Any thoughts?

    Love it. Thanks for all the hard work.

    Can we have a red Xmas skin this year ?

    Upgrades can be a right PITA. You have all done the swan imitation very well.

    A much cleaner look on mobile and no blue (apart from the Roland Out button!!) - thanks so much for all the hard work.

    One question / suggestion: will there be a more obvious notification visible on the main page to show if you have inbox messages? I rarely click on my profile so could end up missing these for days on end?

    @Weegie Addick For inbox messages you should be getting email notifications anyway, if not DM me and I'll take a look. As for the display issue, not sure right now, but I'll add it to the list.

    I don’t get emails when I get an inbox on here. I switched that off as would not want unnecessary emails. Are we to now switch that back on?

    First time I logged onto the new site, it said I had won an all-inclusive three week holiday for two in The Maldives.

    How do I go about claiming this please?

    I think it’s something that will just take a little while to get used to. You just click on the circle top right and then the cross to close. Appreciate its an extra step but it only takes two secs. 



    Alternatively, click on Account & Privacy Settings, Notification Preferences, and have the email box ticked for just Private Messages if that’s the only emails you want to receive

    This mute button… is it just for threads you don’t want to read or can you click on a user and mute them also?? Out of interest.. 
    Nope just threads, and they still show up in Recent Discussions.

    Yep, we picked that up as an issue last night, and @Lookout has put a support request in about it, but it's good to know that following the category works as a workaround.

    ooo the font has changed a bit, that's nicer on the eyes

  • Just a question (so not anything that is wrong) but why did you decide to go for black and white as the Charlton Life header, instead of red and white?
  • As a news junky, I'm loving the news & current affairs subgroup.  A welcome return and great to see Seth back too.

    Thanks all!

    Comments look a little lighter in colour but will get used to that.
    Especially like the new ‘clique only’ filter.

    Looks ok to me, but can we have page numbers at top as well as bottom.
    When I go to the thread it starts on page 2 and I have to go to the bottom as I have discovered to put it to page 1. Thanks 
    @ross1 They are? 

    You might want to clear down your cache and then refresh the page to see if that helps.

    Hopefully , I’ll be able to open a post at the page I left it , currently if I open a 30 page thread and read 10 I join at page 30 next time , so I miss out on so much shit that’s been written.

    still not sorted , so once a thread is opened you have to read the lot or you lose where you are

    I found them at the top of page 2, thanks.
    I know I am being vain, but I used to click on to my name at the top to see how many likes and LOLs I have, where are they now

    how can I tell which page of the thread I am on ?
    all the page numbers are the same


  • Thank You for individual(s) who adminstered the changes and look after the site. My one comment is light grey type in comments, think black type would be better and Charlton Life banner would be better in Red and why not incorporate the sword into the design? 
  • aliwibble
    aliwibble Posts: 26,472
    The worst thing is the CHARLTON LIFE logo at the top of the page (desktop version), which looks a bit squashed  :D


    Try force refreshing the page, and if that doesn't work clear down your cache. It was broken last night, but was fixed very early on in the process so should be fine now.

    Serious comment for a change but has anyone else had their £ per LOL rate seriously reduced?
    I’ll have to look to move my humour elsewhere if that doesn’t get changed back or maybe try my luck being one of those webcam babes like @Braziliance

    I like it! Much better experience on the mobile and certainly feels fresher too, good work!

    Exactly the same, but completely different :). Will take a while to get used to, but not complaints here.

    Not sure if i'm being whooshed here but surely this is obvious?

    The page you are on has the box shaded in grey.

    Nope, no dig, just puzzled as to why a few dozen here or there would make a difference when you have so many.

    Fair enough Ali, I just like to keep an eye on them, it's just something I do, and from the posts above, I am not alone, we shall wait and see what transgresses...👍

    I think the new layout is excellent. I thought I had signed into the wrong forum.

    I've still got the duff header (Chrome Windows 10). Not that it matters  :D

    Is this no longer optimised for mobile?

    if I change font size beyond 100% I have to scroll now left and right to see all content. 

    Sure before it just meant scrolling down only. 

    Also (personally) I find the font a little too light to ease reading for those of us with less than 20:20 vision. You can’t beat black on white for sheer usability.

    mine is not shaded - see my screenshot in my post - which page is shaded there ?
