If you use the normal single or double quotes (just to the left of the enter or return key), this won't happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-237017 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 18:59:05 +0000 RoseandJoan 237017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping for Greg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-236343 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 19:02:11 +0000 RoseandJoan 236343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Greg</p> <p>I've still not found that ******* computer cable so I don't have a screen shot.</p> <p>I'm using IE8 and windows vista and on this thread Kim's response changes case in the middle which looks really odd.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/70-of-the-way-there-85-of-the-time" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....f-the-time</a><br /> I thought you may like to know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-223143 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 17:27:37 +0000 firefly 223143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reply Greg, but whatever was happening it seems to have sorted itself out now. If it helps, I'm on Mac OSX, and Safari version 4.1.2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-222056 Sun, 26 Sep 2010 22:19:47 +0000 Greg 222056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thunalata, yes, we can improve the grouping and that is on the list. Thanks for the ideas on how to do so and please keep them coming.</p> <p>On search: With the new site you can search in any part of the site separately. The search box searches the following areas on the different pages</p> <p>- home page: searches the whole site<br /> - blog: searches blog only<br /> - forum: searches forum only<br /> - store: searches store only<br /> - backstage: searches backstage only</p> <p>Note the word just above the search box that tells you where it is searching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-222055 Sun, 26 Sep 2010 22:16:43 +0000 Greg 222055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>firefly, that's not good! I don't see the same thing using Safari. Can you let me know what platform (Windows or Mac OSX) and what version of Safari you are using when you see this problem?</p> <p>Alternatively, just send me a message using the contact form: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/contact-us/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/contact-us/</a> </p> <p>That will tell me what you are using. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-221337 Sat, 25 Sep 2010 15:38:03 +0000 firefly 221337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Greg<br /> There seems to be a new glitch that I've just noticed today. When I log in and click on one of the forum threads, every time I press the back button to go back to the 'latest' page I find I'm logged out and have to log in again. I'm using Safari. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-220889 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 08:37:45 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 220889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've wondered for some time if there's a better/quicker way of getting information from the blog archives. The Search feature searches the forum as well as the blog posts and often you can't get directly to something - there is a recent forum thread about finding the blog post about 'capsules' for example.</p> <p>I've suddenly realised there could be a relatively easy way of doing this by simply changing the 'category' list on the blog archive page into related sections rather than listing alphabetically. So one group could be like this:</p> <p>Body Type<br /> Fuller Figure<br /> Individual Style<br /> Frugal Style<br /> Instant Style Tips<br /> Team X Team Y<br /> Colour<br /> Style journeys</p> <p>Another could be:</p> <p>Outfits<br /> Dress Codes<br /> Wedding wear<br /> Travel<br /> Partywear<br /> MOTG<br /> Casual wear<br /> Career wear<br /> Business Casual<br /> Event wear<br /> Cheat Sheets</p> <p>and then all of the season posts could be grouped together (eg Summer 2007 with Autumn 2007 rather than the first under 'S' and the second under 'A') and all of the 'clothes' posts together (bottoms, tops, dresses, swimwear etc).</p> <p>It would still have the same links, but people might find it easier to decide where to start looking, particularly new users. Do you think this might work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-216864 Thu, 16 Sep 2010 03:53:19 +0000 chewyspaghetti 216864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outline of the reply box is extremely light for me<br /> Here's the thread:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-have-this-problem-with-the-forum" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-the-forum</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-216379 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 04:55:26 +0000 Greg 216379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>R&amp;J, that's a nice idea and something I will do at some point. And I think it can be done without creating too much clutter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-216377 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 04:51:15 +0000 Greg 216377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks chewyspaghetti. I think I understand what you mean about "Add a Photo", but can you explain what is light about "the reply box"? Do you mean the background itself?</p> <p>Also, can you point me to the thread you mention? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-216295 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 01:40:53 +0000 chewyspaghetti 216295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In another thread, we were talking about how light some of the print is. I'm finding that the reply box and add photo box are also very light and bothering my eyes. Maybe it's just the juxtaposition of the bright background and the light gray, but I wanted to mention it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-215592 Mon, 13 Sep 2010 19:32:30 +0000 RoseandJoan 215592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a thought Greg, would it possible to have something flag up on the forum page when a new blog post goes live? This has never occurred to me before until seeing the red new badges on the home page. I know you have an aversion to clutter so no worries if you think it may be a bad idea, I think it may provide another link between the forum and blog. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-214396 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 13:28:55 +0000 Greg 214396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, yes, something strange going on there. Will investigate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-214353 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 11:59:54 +0000 Sveta 214353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Greg! Don't worry about the photo as it was an older post. I just wanted to let you know about this problem so you can fix it. Than was a quick turnaround! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-214273 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 04:24:40 +0000 marianna 214273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Greg,</p> <p>I just wanted to point out a possible bug in this thread: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-keep-or-not-to-keep-1" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-to-keep-1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-214271 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 04:08:33 +0000 Greg 214271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mystery solved. There was a bug in my code that ensures a unique filename for the uploaded image and as a result, Boof's image replaced yours. I'm sorry about that. </p> <p>I removed the database entry for the photo that was overwritten, so now there is only one photo in your post. If you aren't able to edit the post and you would like me to add it back in, let me know using a private message.</p> <p>Again, sorry that my bug ate your photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-214203 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 02:47:08 +0000 Sveta 214203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep - here:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-910-trying-to-fall-it-up-a-bit" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....t-up-a-bit</a><br /> I should have provided this in the first post - need to work on my "ticket opening" skills </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-214201 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 02:43:00 +0000 Greg 214201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sveta, yes, that's very odd. I'll investigate. Thanks for pointing it out.</p> <p>Do you happen to know where Boof posted that picture?</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Greg </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-214190 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 02:20:05 +0000 Sveta 214190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greg, great job on the blog and forum! Photo uploading is the most valuable feature!<br /> However I have found a bug for you (can you tell I am a software engineer?:-))<br /> I did a post a couple of days ago and uploaded 2 pictures in it. However when I went into it today one of my pictures was gone and replaced with Boof's picture.<br /> This is the post's link:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sep-9-or-my-first-ever-cardigan-went-out-today" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-out-today</a><br /> The picture in question is #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-214080 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 23:17:20 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 214080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just FYI, new blog posts since the site update aren't coming up in my blog reader anymore - and I checked to make sure that I was still subscribed to the RSS feed. Don't know if that's a temporary problem that will update once everything has propagated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-213262 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 20:05:22 +0000 Vani 213262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just caught myself smiling while going through the home page on my tea break right now and I just had to pop in and let Angie and Greg know how much I love this new layout. Angie's favourite colors brighten up my breaks and there is just enough information on the page to make me feel connected (without being overwhelming) even when I'm running short on time to actually participate in the forum. Thanks again you two for being all so simply fabulous! (Hugs)</p> <p>P.S. Being able to "favourite" a post is a wish come true! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-213191 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:37:06 +0000 Louise 213191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to know it's not a bug x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/3#post-213161 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 16:26:06 +0000 Greg 213161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise, that is expected.

This will go on the list of things that I'll try to make more usable when on a smaller screen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/2#post-212283 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 09:39:49 +0000 Dawn 212283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've also seen a much faster response from the website on my mobile phone browser (LG smartphone with Opera Mini). The only problem I have had is the next page button at the bottom of the forum being so small and close to last page button. It doesn't bother me that much though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/2#post-212261 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 07:28:14 +0000 Tara 212261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Greg! </p> <p>Just a thought as I was browsing some of the archived blog posts.</p> <p>The blog posts that have pictures such as Angie's outfits, and other ones with pics - when you go into the Archive and it lists the posts, it would be *super duper handy* if a little thumbnail image appeared next to each entry with pics to spark my memory of what it was!</p> <p>I was thinking something like in the image below as an example.</p> <p>Only prob is it might make the pages super long. Still - is there any way to swing it?</p> <p>Just a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-look-ylf-feedback-thread/page/2#post-212151 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:32:48 +0000 Greg 212151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, I'm glad you see a performance improvement!</p> <p>Yes, I know it isn't ideal on the iPhone. And I don't think it will be until we do an iPhone specific site or an app. 3.5" touchscreen experience and a 20" keyboard mouse experience are just too different. I did try to keep the main hit targets reasonable, but there are places its quite hard to use. </p>
