I don't like the new down arrows.
The old way, with either arrow or not, was easy to read. Now I have to squint to see which direction the arrow is pointed. Not a good change.

I don't like it either, maybe if the arrow turned red or somthing when it was turned down would help, the old way was easier visually.

Coyote and F&L,
I noticed the same problem and changed the color, which can of course be tweaked. Let me know what you think.

I think it does, could be a little more pronounced. Maybe the unread msg arrow could be green?? Just a thought.
Thanks for all time and effort you put in to this site. "No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind.

I still like the arrow, no arrow best.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Hmmm - I might have overdone it this time, hope I don't blind anyone, what do you think?

I think that light blue will work.
It does a good job of separating the two.

I'm with jar on this one boss. Having two kinds of arrows just adds a layer of confusion, albeit a small one, but it's there nonetheless.

I'm starting to feel the same way. Doing it this way simplifies other things, but if it still feels weird after a couple days I'll back the change out.

I have no problem using my ipod to access the site when I'm on the road, and i've posted as well. I didn't have a problem before dboard 4.0 in accessing the higher page numbers of threads but the last time I tried (after the 4.0 release) the "higher numbered" pages would not load. When I clicked say, "page 63" either on the active topics list, or clicked zenmonkey's recent post #813, or after going to the first page of the thread and clicking "next page" at the point i reached "page 8", nothing would load and while the page looks relatively normal, with normal background colors and the top of the page with the "links", the actual posts would not load. It would look like just half-a-page, albeit a normal looking page, just sans the posts.
Everything worked only after I logged in. i could then access the higher numbered posts. No big deal, just a wierd bug it seemed. Edited by DBlevins, : No reason given.

Doing it this way simplifies other things ... Sorry. I do not like the down arrow at all. Seems unnecessary, adds clutter and is redundedundant . The no arrow meant no unread message while avoiding an added graphic. Also, the down arrow leads to the same message already immediately available in the far right column. The right arrow/no arrow scheme seemed more appropriate. However, if it make other work easier then, as always, we'll get used to anything in time.

I guess you have the iPod touch? I think it runs the same iOS 4 that the iPad does, and I'm unable to reproduce the problems on it. I'll ask around and see if I can find someone with a Touch.
No big deal, just a wierd bug it seemed. Weird bugs make my day!

I've enhanced error logging to record the time of the error. Could you repeat the webpage accesses that do not work and let me know approximately what time and timezone you did that? If these accesses are caused by coding errors (rather than logical errors) then this will pick them up. Thanks!
