You need not use it. Just click anywhere outside the box and it closes.

Working great, pretty fast with IE10

awesome!!! Great work guys. So, I'm all about this premium membership, but when I try the subscribe link, I am getting to a different site (ends in .biz) which is asking for a logon, then gives me an error.
-
That is strange....
Which button?
Community | SketchUcation
3D SketchUp Community for Design and Engineering Professionals.
(sketchucation.com)
or in your login box?

Oh it is still pointing at the beta forum domain ... [confirmed]
That should be easy to fix. (@Rich I PM'd you the technical nitty-gritty.)

So...now I'm a premium member. Still can't find the private consultation room that is mentioned. Where is it?
I also think the premium member banner is too big/noticeable. Since its red it drags attention away from the post. Even admins/top sketchucators are more subtle.
Edit: I also noticed that I now have the same color as the Ad Machine.
Another thought. I don't like the double sketchucation logos at the top. But that's maybe just a coincident? -
Hi Jan,
The system is programmed that once you subscribe to premium membership, you automatically become a member of the Premium users usergroup (his is how we can organize certain permissions on the forums) and this will automatically become your default usergroup as well. But you are still a "Registered member", too (and member of any other usergroups you have added ourself).
Premium members have the possibility to change their default membership however. Please, go to your UCP and if you do not like the striking red (I can understand that), change your default usergroup to whatever you wish. Here is a (reduced) version of my memberships. On the left, select the checkbox and press the button.
the ad machine... This was a request on the old forums - to make some visual difference between the "real" posters and the ad machine.It's a real co-incidence the colours ended up like this but you are right, it is not very dignified this way so I will find some other colour for that machine.
Now as for "private consulting rooms" - these are not something automated but we set them up as soon as requested. Here is yours for instance.
We have already prepared a (growing) list of the available services Premium members are entitled but decided to dump the page at the last minute as new features were added* even yesterday and the whole thing needs to be rewritten.
*e.g. we managed to introduce a new feature - currently only with external plugin authors but this is planned to expand - where Premium members get a 20% discount straight from the developers (purchasing straight through their channels). Note that SketchUcation does not get any commission - it's just something we hope to be useful and mutually beneficial for both Premium membership and plugin authors who we can support this way.

So did you make it a point to mimic SketchUp's new logo red, ie, in brightness ??
-
Hi all! Liking the new interface, but a bit overwhelmed by all the new sections... also I don't know if I like this premium membership thing.
Also, where can I inquire how to sell some of my models?
And I have to change my avatar, so it seems...Edited: no I don't

Now you like the new sections or not?
Ask Rich.

This red (#E82C2E) was already in the "design" before they announced Trimbleship. Not to speak about the new release (or even beta testing).

What about the Chinese rank/badge system?

That'd make the place look like Command and Conquer

Very nice job everyone who participated. I like the pop out attachments window and the new layout altogether. I have one request maybe to late now. When replying to a post I wish the curser I guess you call it defaulted to the text box I don't know how many times I started typing only to find I didn't type anything maybe my most repeated Dah moment.

Hi Walt,
I cannot remember now but on the old forums, did it give focus (as it is called) to the message box automatically?
I know it can be done (I could not): when "reply mode" is on,focus can be given to any element that has an id) with javascript I think.
Try the "Quick reply" button where it does. Is this what you mean?
-
Yes the quick reply gives focus to the text box but the post reply still does not, but that's ok need something to keep me on my toes.

Thanks for your clarifications. I still think the premium banner stands out too much. Surely we don't need this kind of public distinction between users? At least make it much smaller.
