    Brandon D got a reaction from Brett B in What needs to be done for 3.0.1   
    Whatever the majority may have been, they certainly didn't complain about it on these forums near any level compared to what I've seen since IPB3 went final alone. I think taking the one minute to throw up a (yet another) new setting to handle this might be best, to at least quiet both sides =p

    Brandon has all the posts where someone compliments him or Charles bookmarked so whenever Charles starts ranting about something he can just dump them out to get him off his back :P

    Is it sad that the screenshot containing Rikki's photo is clicked more than the one containing the attractive woman on the right? :lol:I guess Rikki's photo coupled with the natural reading from left to right wins over attractive woman :P

    Here's my first round of suggestions :)

    1 - It would be nice if the "Add Another Choice" button with Polls would add the text box below the box my cursor is currently in (and renumber the options accordingly). Right now if I want to go back and add an option I have to cut/paste to reorder each option below it.

    2 - If you're feeling adventurous you could also add a few small buttons to the poll form like "A-Z", "Z-A" that will automatically sort the poll options alphabetically. This is good to use if the poll maker doesn't want to come off as biased (adding options they like first)

    3 - Add a "Force Uninstall" option for applications. Basically the same thing as the uninstall routine but it catches/suppresses any errors. Good if the admin tried to manually uninstall an application or something went wrong in the uninstall and left the install partially in tact.

    Great release by the way, I'm loving it :D

    Brandon D got a reaction from Booth in Feedback on skin changes & lofi skin   
    Current skin:

    Love the changes, especially the new green bullets for unread subforums and the hover effect for buttons is nice. My only suggestion is to add the AJAX mark forum read thingy for subforum bullets as well.

    Lofi skin:

    I noticed it received an update as well. Is it complete? I don't want to say much on it if it isn't, but I don't think the changes from the previous version are good. You're already crippling the forum by preventing access to certain key features (like the entire PM system), but now you're crippling the forum and topic listing as well. The previous version was great in that items were spaced out and you had more information. The current skin has less information but it's all crammed together so it looks even more overwhelming. There's no way to see if there's new topics in a forum or even see the last topic posted. What's the point of moving topic markers to the database in IPB3 if you're not going to use them to their fullest extent? :P

    Also there still doesn't seem to be a way to change skins from lofi? I love that it automatically detects the user agent and applies the lofi skin, but I'm not a big fan of forcing my users to use it, nor is Google, Twitter, or any other application I use that makes use of a lofi theme.

    How come search results don't show the topic's author anymore? In some searches, that's even more important than the topic title.

    On the view new content page, I'd rather not flip through each application tab to see if there's new content. Could you add a count of new content within each application on the tabs? So I know, for example, that blog has two new entries while reading the Forum's new content? :)
