Title: New Look And Feel For IS
Post by: Iceshanty on Oct 02, 2017, 01:07 PM
Iceshanty has a slight makeover for 2017-18 ice fishing.  ;D Some things have moved around but all should operate the same. Biggest change you will notice is on a mobile device you should enjoy a much improved browsing experience and I plan to make it even better.

What's new,

Most small screen devices held vertical will display a trimmed down mobile view and when held horizontal a nearly full desktop view.
Large pictures posted now should resize or clip to fit any device and not break the page. Do not use width= in the img tags anymore please.
Thanks to a tip from 3300, I have installed a photo upload plugin (https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=31022.0) from postimage.com
You can link up or embed youtube videos or channels in a post.
Iceshanty is now secure https://www.iceshanty.com
You may need to update your bookmarks for the following pages.
Home page url changed to
https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php
Board url changed to
https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?action=forum

Those using pb for photo storage update those avatar and sig pictures.

If the new layout does not work for your setup or taste. You can switch back to the old one by going into your profile>look and layout>current theme>change> select iceshanty 3.0

Now all we need is some cold weather  :tipup:

looks like I lost my WU widget banner too ...just added it two days ago ...not sure its an update snafu..or a WU snafu. Although I don't have a smart phone its nice that it will be improved ...thinking more on ice photos this season as a result of the updated mobile site and the imgur button . ;)2

I think this may be a side effect of going secure (https) on the site. WU has not moved over to https yet and I'm guessing that's why insecure images will not show up here in profiles and such.

You know what they say about old folks not liking change!!!  ;) We'll get used to it as we look around and find where everything is. I'm glad we have increased security with the change!! I just went through a major change going from IE to Google Chrome, so if I did that, I can do this!!! Now to get me a smartphone!! It's on my list!!! I'm off to cruise the new site! ;D

It took me a few seconds to find location of Log In but will get used to new lay out with time . I do like that it is now easier to access the Members List. Scott my thanks to you and all of the Ice Shanty Admin. staff for all the work keeping this web site up and running. Is it possible to bring back the spell check feature that used to be found before words Post and Preview when making a post?

Browser should have spell check built in. You may have to enable it.

mine noticed incorrectly spelled words...
looks like all the pics in the Montana pic thread are gonzo...photobucket of course as well as the imgur hosted pics...

BUT if you go to your post and, click MODIFY and make the hyper text transfer protocol SECURE your pictures will be visible!!!! IE...change the address of your pics from HTTP to HTTPS

I know it works for IMGUR hosted pics anyway...

I don't like it at all. I would personally appreciate an option to exit mobile view if at all possible so people like myself can still enjoy the forum and others can adapt to the new format.

Post by: Iceshanty on Oct 02, 2017, 03:12 PM
Depending on the screen size, holding phone vertical the board will have some menu limitations, holding device horizontal should reveal full menu controls and have a near desktop look.

Scott thank you for the reply, I have not seen the Spell check feature since the recent server update/upgrade. The Problem is probably my computer running an out date version of Windows with all the problems folks have installing each new version I just keep running the version that came installed on the computer still serves the majority of what I use a computer for in my life.

Hey y'all, I need a little help here!  At this moment I'm on my iPad Air2 and can log in and out and post, and see recent posts etc.  Fairly functional.   On my iPhone 6S, I can't see where to log in/out, see my mail, nothing!  Turning my phone horizontal does nothing. Can't find the menu that from left to right reads:  "Home  Forum  Help  Search Profile  My Messages  Members  Logout". Help!

Website makeovers are always going to upset some and it is a gutsy move to take the plunge. 

Love it, not used everything yet, but in the end I'll figure it out and am sure that this will aways be my favorite site on the net.

I no longer see flags next to forums that have threads with unread messages. I checked with my phone vertical and horizontal. Was this feature removed or is there a way to enable it? It was a handy way to quickly see where new comments had been made since my last visit.

Post by: Iceshanty on Oct 02, 2017, 06:28 PM
Ok I just checked my 5 and 4s iphones and Yes that is definitely lacking and like you I think rather necessary. I'll see what I can do to improve on that.

I guess you can tell like this OldSailor
Users online list (shows them in bold) on front page and bottom of board index
Who's online (uses different icon next to username if they're a buddy. Link on the bottom of the board.

Where did the "mobile" view disappear to? This view is just like operating from a laptop, which is not good for viewing, replying, etc from a phone.

I liked having everything on one page with the old home page. Too much jumping around to read everything. But it's a done deal, so I might as well get used to it! I miss the background also!!!
Title: Re: New look and feel for IS
Post by: muskyon46 on Oct 03, 2017, 07:46 AM
On my phone older samsung gs5(android) I was unable to see the right side bar which told who made the last post, at what time, on which date. I messed around with the layout options in my profile and also tried rotating my phone from straight up to sideways. Still no info bar. Next to the website address window on the top of the screen (on my Phone) there are couple little dots next to the refesh tab. Upon clicking that it gave me a drop down menu that had an option to "request desktop view", I clicked that and my view was back to how I liked it, I was able to see who posted on what thread and when. Also on the main page I could see the latest post to a board. Now I know this is not the moblile view but its the view I prefer. I dont know if that bar is supposed to be there on the mobile view but on my phone it was not and it was kind of a PITA to go into each thread to see who made the latest post. The new site upgrade is awesome, its just going to take some getting used to.

Thanks for the info.  I'm going to give the new layout a chance and see if I end up liking it more.  I guess I got use to the old layout and it's like a good jig you always catch fish on, you just get use to using it and don't like to change.

I'm not following OS. What's the trouble exactly?
When I used to post cartoons in the off topics, I would go  to somewhere like Google and search for, as an example, 'Christmas cartoons' and go to images on Google to see pages of Christmas cartoons. I would find the one I wanted, right click on the image, and click on 'copy image'. Then i would come over to the site and go to 'Ice Shantys', click on 'New Topic'  and  fill in Subject, then go to the body and  click to get the cursor there. Then go to the ' Insert  Image' icon (left of Hyperlink) left click on it and it will drop down into the body(http://) with the cursor flashing  between the  2 bracketed  img's.  Right click between the  two and select 'paste'. Then you would get a string af characters showing it took, hit 'preview', see the cartoon, and then 'post'.      I've done it this way for years Scott. All of the holiday or fishing cartoons I've posted over the years on the Shanty have been done this way. In fact i, it was Idahogator that taught me how to do it this way long ago and it always has worked up until recently. So where is the problem at??

OS. Right click on the image you want to post (following all copyrights and trademark laws of course(  ;) Select Copy image address. Back to post window... smack on the insert image button above the post window. Paste the url you just copied in the img tags. Preview it and if all looks good post.

Depends where you copy the link from. Sites like google images will have a bunch of gobblygook letters and numbers and most likely won't work for hotlinking.

in case your not all set, this may help.

if you can do a screen capture for us, that would help.
here is an app that will allow you to upload images and or take screen captures.

http://postimages.org/app

install the app. then open it and look for "full screen" after you click "full screen" in the app, use that to upload what it shows. just use "hotlink for forums" to paste here.

I think I may have figured out why the mixed reviews.  I have my prefs set so the most recent post is at the top.  If I scroll down to fast/far looking at the history I get a different page even if I didn't want to go there.  Maybe it's more handy for those with the default setting of most recent at the bottom?
Title: Re: New Look And Feel For IS
Post by: muskyon46 on Oct 25, 2018, 08:28 AM
Mine is set for the most recent on the bottom, works rather well if you dont mind scrolling down the page. I could see how it could mess you up a bit if it were the other way
