Please let us know here of anything you find that doesn't work properly and any suggestions for new or improved functionality.

There is a 2-week cooling off period during which we won't be adding any of the latter but will be working on the former.

Also please note that for the moment you can post in existing discussions here, but can't edit or delete posts nor make new discussions - this is just because we need to keep Meta as clear as possible so things don't get lost - hope that's OK with everyone. :)

    Quoting - if you hit the " then you go to a different page. If you click the word "Quote" then all is good.

    Badges - need to update the badges to match the Reactions icons.

    Default state of the comment box for iOS devices (ie show source).  Can we change it to "show rich text"?

    While I'm thinking about it...we need a default thumnbnail for Facebook (when somebody posts a link to the forum, you can force it to pick a specific image for the thumbnail). At the moment, it doesn't show anything.

    I can make the appropriate changes to the HTML, but we need an appropriate logo image first :)

    We *should* have a theFB logo.

    Just been thinking about that on the "let's build us a guitar" discussion.

    Open compo to design one???

    I'm up for it. :)
    Do we know what size the thumbnail is supposed to be?

    It has to be square - I've found the best results with 200px or 300px.

    Denis - being "a creative" could you kick this off?

    £200? Not especially sure it's worth that much ;)

    Would the following do for now, until a proper graphic designer jumps in?

    I like the second one best - it'll jump out more when Facebook thumbnails it.

    Unless there are any objections in the next 10 minutes, I'll get on it with the second image. That OK with everyone?

    Nice! I'd vote for the sizing of v2 but with the outline/shadow effect from v1.

    I'd also be inclined to add similar white text (with the full name) on the site's header logo. 

    I know it does say "The Fretboard" beneath the image, but stronger branding never hurt. If people are hitting the site from search engines, they may only glance and it's worth making sure the name sticks in their visual memory...

    I personally think that the full name stays in the top navbar or goes on the header, but not both.

    And a last one without shadows (possibly my favourite)...

    Nice, cheers :)

    Agreed on the full name. I think it'd be better to find a good-looking free-to-distribute font for the name (using @font-face), then position it absolutely on top of the image (better for SEO if the name is in the HTML rather than an image).

    OK we need a quick poll on which of those ^^ icons to use. I prefer the one from 1:17pm. Anyone else?

    Avatars are teeny weeny...I think you've gone a bit too far in the opposite direction.

    Also when I create a "new discussion" meta doesnt seem to appear and also it doesnt create a thread in the forum im currently browsing, I have to select one, which is kinda weird.

    You can't create a new discussion in Meta for the moment as we need to keep this section pretty clear.

    You should be able to create new discussions in the other sections though.

    I quite like when clicking on a link it automaticly opens in a new tab. Either can you make it so, or point out where I've gone wrong in not making it so?

    That's the way it should now work for all the links in comments and signatures.
    Please let us know if it isn't the case. ;)
