:btu: Nice look and feel John.

Only problem is when I view an attached image I keep closing my browser as I'm still in the habit of them opening in a seperate window.

That habit should die with time.

I did some snooping around and it looks to me that we can instant message, kind of like the AOL system, am I right?
:huh:

:uhoh:jpg.gif moon1.JPG (7.3 KB) :wall: :behead:

I just figured out how to do pics and now I have to learn some new way :rocketem:

Looking at some threads i've posted in ... my posts are gone :confused: ....I hate CHANGE.... :rocketem:

I have to log on every time. it will not rember my pass word. the other board still does.

change :smash:

But, it looks good JohnR

Is there still a way to search the old forum posts?

Looks very nice John-I was suprised to see the new look :boots:

Slip - now you can attach two images:

I also really like the way it posts thumbnail images that you can click on if you want to expand. That should speed up those that are on slow connections.... Now the REAL cool imaging features are still a few weeks away but I think your jaws will drop when you see what's coming for that :drool:

MikeCC - clear your cookies for this site (login and then hit the "Logout" button).


TRB - there was a 2 hour point last night that threads were not updated. If you are missing more, shoot me a PM with a description

JoeP - you should be able to search all posts with better detail now.

I know that change equals improvement ( most of the time) but I am not digging this that much. Sorry John. Getting more complicated for us old farts. ( i'll be fifty in seven months) :spin:

Flap - necessary evil. For security reasons I needed to move to the new system as it is no longer developed. This system offers more speed and security and allows me to implement a lot of the stuff many of you have been asking for...

Thanks John-

By the way, nice job -- the site looks great.

Joe

If you want to look at the different ways of viewing the threads - go into UserCP -> Edit Options -> Thread Display and you can chose from the normal views or threaded views like the old WMI...

Also - an interesting option is the "Quick Reply" if you don't want to load all the smilies, and options and just do a quick text reply...

I need the "For Dummies" handbook for the new format :read:

*************TESTING PICTURE POSTING*********

more test pictures, now I want some melted butter.
Looks great John, :cheers:

Very nice, love the new look!

why are the pictures so small? :huh:

why are the pictures so small? :huh:


click on them :)

why are the pictures so small? :huh:

Quicker to load for the dial up guys, click the pic and they blow up...

side note..Slip, I casted that tiger needle :lasso: and she flew nice nice...The thing is shweet :hihi:

why are the pictures so small? :huh:
Bruce - they are thumbnail images so the system automatically resizes the images to a small 150x150 to show in the thread and if you click on them you can see the full image if you want to. It helps with our low bandwidth brethern...

I hate change but just have to get used to it. I am sure it is for the better. What is a quick reply? Is it different than a regular post? Is it the same as a private message to someone. Site does have a more sophisticated look to it. I am sure it took a lot of hard work to do it so thank you. I guess. Paul

Quick reply is to post without pictures or smiley's. Just click the paper icon next to quote. It will bring you to the bottom of the screen where you can reply quickly.

At the left bottom of the page there is an option for the color of the screen. Bulletin 2 and bulletin 3. Try them out I think 2 default is easier on the eyes.

thanks

I like it a lot! Thanks John.

John, thanks for the update, your time and your effort.

I think I like it Yes I think I really do!!
:o :jump: :bo:

Takes a little getting use to how to do things but it s all good!!

I think the site looks great! Good Job John! :kewl:

THUMBNAIL :wave:
with the firefox browser it has a plugin for instant zooming in. very cool tool

ya gotta love PHP very versatile and configurable

nice going JOHN ! question though? non related

to the change really but, i was wondering about

our smilies (animations) and if we can make some

custom ones to add to our collection and/or if in the future

we'll have some new ones.... to play with.

I hope to add more smilies in the future :)

OK even though it's change, I like it. and I am 50.

nice new look , but it took me a half an hour to reset my password it would not accept my old no. now i cannot get the smilies , i hope i did not lose my avatar it took 3 hours on sun. to get it on the board

John, I like the new look. It appears to have alot more features.

Change is good! :claps:

Jeff

The search feature is not searching the past forum database.

WOW John. Much easier reading for us old folks !!! :hf1:

Looks good John. It will just take awhile to get used. Change can be tough for those of us that are technogy challenged.

You are correct - I will need to re index the search database this evening :jump1:

If you hit Ctrl++ or go to view in your top toolbar. This will increase the size of the font. Also when you post you can change the size of the font while you type. It is right below title in reply.

DOH !

oops!

Go to User CP and in Control Panel Settings and Options on the first box on left you will see Edit Avatar... The bottom of that new page has options for custom avatar...

can't find anything to upload custom avatar there at all :tm:

Looks Good !!! :cheers:

Here ya go ->

Boy you go away for a few days and your whole world changes!!!!!!! Caught me by surprize with this one John but I like it.

John I cannot get to the panel that you say I should be getting. All I can get is the Avatars that are supplied with the system. There is no browse panel or anything to lead me to it.
I have tried all the suggestions you have indicated to no avail.
