I like it.

 

Takes a little eye adjusting though.

 

Quick replies and it seems that code can be placed into a textbox of sorts that allows scrolling and doesn't distort or overly elongate the post.

 

My only annoyance is that I saw news links on the right, I clicked one and they were spam. They wanted to me to sign up to get the news, I signed up and still didn't get the news. But once its identified as spam, you know to avoid it :)

When you're not in a particular forum, theres a box called "Programming Tips"

 

First off, its not programming tips, but some news container.

 

Secondly, most of it is technically spam. Its about macromedia and this is a .Net forum.

 

Thirdly, I happen to like macromedia and I clicked the link to "Macromedia looks to extend Flash technology" as I love Flash. I was shuttled to some site called "The Industry Standard", which tells me:

 

"You do not have access to view this story. This could be because you aren't a member of Internet Business News from The Industry Standard. Please become a member of Internet Business News from The Industry Standard to receive full membership access!"

 

Whatever, I want to read the damn article so I become a member, accidently using my personal email account. I was still denied access to the article and I"m going to be flippin pissed if they sell my email or start sending me junk email.

This has been planned for a looooong time. Awhile back, Extreme .NET Forums and Extreme VB Forums were bought by iNET Interactive, as I'm sure you know. As an effort to make the site look more like the other sites owned by iNET Interactive, the site has been redesigned and renamed.

 

However, it was brought to my attention that the site is utterly unusable at any resolution under 1024x768. I am using 1600x1200 and it seems to sit right at the "comfortable" level, so I guess the other, lower resolutions would be a bit cluttered. 800x600 is unbearable.

I use 1280x800 on a widescreen monitor and I feel clausterphobic in VS.Net and Macromedia Studio.

 

They all just have toolbars to the left and right, top and bottom... :eek:

 

I have to "untack" everything to get more space.

Is it indenting and coloring and stuff, oh my?

 


   Public Function ConvertToDecimal(ByVal V As String) As Double
       If V.IndexOf("/") = -1 Then
           Return V
       End If

       Dim Whole As Integer = CInt(V.Substring(0, V.IndexOf(" ")))
       Dim N As Integer = CInt(V.Substring(V.LastIndexOf(" ") + 1, (V.IndexOf("/") - V.IndexOf(" ") - 1)))
       Dim D As Integer = CInt(V.Substring(V.IndexOf("/") + 1, (V.Length - V.IndexOf("/") - 1)))

       Return Whole + (N / D)


   End Function

 

No, it's not. Being able to see code as you would in Visual studio is more important than the look and feel of the site.. Just make sure that code is readable. But I'm sure they'll iron out the wrinkles.

This will be fixed as soon as possible, VolteFace is currently working on a temporary fix before the full 

 [code=visualbasic] tag system is ported over to the new forums (should be quicker as well as VolteFace has taken the time to re-write the code)

i actually like this popup thing, for those of us on 56k(im not.. ;)), instead of going through each thread, and clicking it.. and wasting your time, ya can just hover over the topic and see what the first post is

 

and wow, if your screen res is set to 800x600 or below, everything is cluttered
