Looks nice too.

The Social Wall is back:
The return of the "Social Wall" to ATS.5/3 -- But revamped with more.

Yikes, I just tried to post on someone's wall and got this message: "You do not have permission to post in this forum. (1)"

It works now.

1: new new emoticons are not displaying properly for me (black lines offset from green circle).

2: bottom line of peoples signature is cut in half and cannot really be read (note: only if they have filled the signature box).

3: when an announcement bar is at the bottom of my screen any inset video will overlap the announcement when I am scrolling the page (and only the video, the post will not cover it).

nice job on the new format. now that I have become more familiar with it I find it easier to use.

I think it would be helpful if there were some sort of notification function informing a member that they have unread messages in their inbox. If, for instance, a member were not a habitual user of the messaging system and did not make a habit of checking their inbox, they would never know if they had any messages until they thought to check. Given how sometimes an important chain-letter is sent by moderators or administrators, this could pose a problem.

edit on 19-9-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

This already exists. When you have no messages, the "envelope" icon in the top right (between the RSS feed and and search buttons) is just an outline. When you have messages, the icon changes to a fully colored white icon as an indicator you have new messages.

Oh, thank you!

Here's how the icons appear in each ATS theme, both empty and full:

White Theme






Dark Theme

I don't know if anyone has said this or if it's been addressed but will there be anything that alerts you when you have a message?



NM! As soon as I hit enter I saw the post above me.

ATS seems to have some lag time tonight, boss. You working on things? Or is it my ISP?

reply to post by Klassified


Should be better now.

reply to post by SkepticOverlord


Sorry, my message was poorly worded. What I meant was, if I go to my profile and look at the list of my posts, I click on a post to go to the thread, and nothing happens, but it's a moot point since it's working now. May have been a problem with my browser. It does weird things if I have a page open with Flash.

As for the icons below the avatar, I thought they all should do something. Now I understand that only the "sillouette" icon brings up the menu.

What about the backward slashes in my signature? Is that a bug? Because I didn't put them there, and every time I try to take them out, they pop back in.

10. "Unflagging" a thread does not "take". Link 1

The unflagging of threads you've flagged is now working.

13. Links to posts invalid in "modified" thread views. Link 1 Info 1

This one is fixed.

Since it's so difficult as to border on impossible to calculate the correct page in the "posts in thread" view, the link push-pin has been removed from that view.

reply to post by AfterInfinity


Yeah the same thing happens to me. Just remove the quote ( " ) markers until it is fixed and you should be fine. Worked for me. ~$heopleNation

I have a question: Is there any way at all to return to the old format before 9/9/2013.??
I am not at all comfortable with the new layout, and I find it slows discussions, reading, researching
immensely. Are we being slowed down intentionally.??

Big gap between the OP, and the first reply.

Looks like an errant closing italic tag (see source code for this user's sig below):
