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?

TheRattBoy · 03-14-2005, 07:25 AM

Looking at some threads i've posted in ... my posts are gone

....I hate CHANGE....

mikecc · 03-14-2005, 07:48 AM

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

reelecstasy · 03-14-2005, 08:25 AM

change

But, it looks good JohnR

JoeP · 03-14-2005, 08:39 AM

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

GrMtstriper · 03-14-2005, 08:42 AM

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

JohnR · 03-14-2005, 09:29 AM

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

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)

JohnR · 03-14-2005, 09:34 AM

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...

JoeP · 03-14-2005, 09:47 AM

Thanks John-

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

Joe

JohnR · 03-14-2005, 10:01 AM

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

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.

Slipknot · 03-14-2005, 12:54 PM

thanks

BigBo · 03-14-2005, 01:13 PM

I like it a lot! Thanks John.

Springtides · 03-14-2005, 01:36 PM
