Posts format, UGH!!

navydave — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 02:57:46 +0000

Am I the only one who cant get used to this new WordPress style of posts to the forums? Its probably why I dont read the posts anymore. It all seems all spaced out with new posts in a big long list when you click a category on the left. How do I navigate to Categories and see whats new and what has been read like the old format? It all seems all over the place to me. Is there a way to make the font size on these post heading smaller and not double spaced? I’m sure some here like it and I dont mean to criticise the layout but I just cant get into this setup for some reason. I tried to use Dashboard mode and sort the posts by category and view threads but I cant seem to make it happen. It all seems very clunky. Just my 2 cents.

MicroSD pak order

Daz — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 21:15:02 +0000

Hi Roger – placed a pre-order and paid through paypal for this a few days back. With the holiday madness could you do me a favour and confirm you have the order? You should see it as Darren Ottery or Kymmidaz.

I hope this is the best way to contact you. I was looking for a direct admin link.

Cheers,
Daz.

My user/password got corrupt in the change over

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:53:02 +0000

This message is to Roger,

My original username (pilot352) and password seemed to get corrupt in the change to the new site. It recognized mt username but not my password. When I tried to have it sent to me, it said I had an invalid e-mail address yet it knew who I was. You new site seemed to become “self-aware” and has decided that I’m not worthy of access.

Is there a way to restore my original username and password???????

We all gravitate to “Welcome” with our posts

Wonder if it would be good to create “coco hardware” and “coco software ” sections, then maybe people with screwed up hardware have a place, people looking for obscure DSK images have a place, and Welcome can still be there for the catch-all, and programming can still be there for the hard-core stuff…

Outbox Vs Sentbox

sc — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 18:44:54 +0000

Maybe I don’t understand how the private messaging works on the board… when I send a message, why does it stay in outbox, and not sentbox? Was the message in fact sent?

Home link

fishlock — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 02:53:47 +0000

I keep trying to find the home link, but I have to scroll off the page to get to it on the menu.

It should be higher up or at the very least, the logo at the top left should be clickable. Very poor usability.

gcc link

The banner link to gcc brings up the skwirl.net main page.

Hardware area?

jdiffend — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 01:55:12 +0000

How about an area for discussing hardware topics?

New here :D

I am new here, just registered this week. I do have a suggestion. Please allow a contact method for visitors to your site to use without having to log on. If there is such a mechanism in place, my apologies, I looked for it and was not able to find it.

I tried registering about 2 months ago. I entered my nickname (Saga), email and password. All seemed to go fine. I got the screen that told me that an email would be sent to me. I never got this email. After about a week I tried again, but the login screen told me that the nickname had been taken. I tried using another nickname with the same email, but now it told me that the email was in use. I then tried to logon, but that did not work out either. I have a specific email that I use to participate in forums, so I did not want use any of the other emails that I have. I waited a few days more and tried to register again. This time it allowed me to register, but again I did not get any email. After about a month of waiting and retrying I lurked in the forums and found 2 names, those being Roger and Mary. I located a contact page for Roger on his website that promotes the RainbowIDE and attempted to contact him through there, but I guess it did not go through. I also found Mary’s email for her news letter (excellent newsletter, by the way!!!) and was able to establish contact with her. She was very helpful and gave me a few tips. Unfortunately none of them allowed me to register correctly.

I then waited a few days more. This is when I tried to locate a contact email on the Coco3 website. The site is vast, so I can’t say that I scoured every page, but I was not able to locate any obvious way to contact the webmaster. The forums and chat room are only available to registered members. I finally caved and used another email. I was able to register as Saga with this new email and all seemed to go fine, except that I again never got the confirmation email. I tried changing nicknames using the same email, but it told me that the email was taken. After a few days more I tried again using the new nickname and the new email, but again I did not get the confirmation email.

I waited over the weekend (Jul 20) and on Monday I used a third email with the new nickname and much to my surprise I finally got the confirmation email and as you can see by my ability to post this message, I was able to login correctly. I really would have appreciated if there had been a way to contact people at this website to receive some orientation as to why I was not receiving the confirmation emails. The only common denominator for the first two emails is that they are hosted by netscape.net while the third email is a semi private address hosted on a server.

In any case, I am glad to be here and hope to make new friends.

New posts icon bug

Robert Gault — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 10:41:50 +0000

There is a problem with the icons that indicates new posts and the type of traffic. They mostly are not working.

Since I just see white icons, I’ve assumed there has been no traffic in the forums. It was just luck that I looked at the dates for the last messages and saw some from June 7 & 8.

This needs to be fixed ASAP!

suggestion for coco cafe

fwp — Thu, 03 May 2007 19:46:53 +0000

I would like to suggest that the cafe be set up to once again allow named guests. Prior to requiring logins the cafe was a much more lively place. Now
it’s normally quiet with few people talking. I understand there was an issue
with registration for awhile could that have scared participants away?

Coco3.com Home Page

Robert Gault — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 16:57:27 +0000

Is there some reason why the Home Page now looks exactly like the main Forum page with extra links on the bottom? Do I need to do something at my end to find links such as the Unravelled series at coco3.com?

This started for me Thursday.
