Hi Ryan

Just another thought.
There have been accasions recently where the speed of the system has been slow such that when one adds a post, the system can "hang" for a bit.
Whatever the cause of the delay, a member can think that maybe they had not posted and hit the submit button a second time.
This often results in two (or more) identical posts being made.
Can we perhaps have a visual indication of when the button is "pressed"?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Hi All,

Eileen:
I've add this as a note to our development plan. I'm hopeful that it will be addressed in our next development of messages.

Jeremy:
Yes themes are something we are exploring. We also will generally look at the site in terms of accessibility. So are our colors high contrasting enough? Are our fonts big enough?

Regarding the send button I'll get this looked into as looks like a browser bug.
Search is being addressed site wide by the development team.

Inconsistencies noted.

Site-wide performance is an issue and that is still being worked on, However in our next development sprint for the boards I will note down performance as an issue specific to the boards.
Jude. Sorry I wasn't sure what you mean.

Thanks

Ryan

Thank you Ryan.

For me, (and using Mozilla Firefox) I have found that to explore Genes on my Laptop, I have reset Zoom Level to 125% and the default Font from Times New Roman 16, to Ariel 18.

This makes the text on the Community Message Boards Bigger, but that does not alter the Font size in Personal Messages.

The Send Button on Feedback is the same problem on both Firefox and IE 8

And I also have Adblock Plus installed as an Add on to Firefox which seems to aid performance!! (Sorry I do not like adverts even though they provide you with an income).

I look forward to seeing what happens in the next few months

Jeremy
