New Message Board

It's cool.  And wow we get to use ^superscript and_subscript.
New toys to play with.  I like shiny new toys.

Brought a few old friends along with me as well, in case you missed them.

Actually, with this board, it is easy for me to add more.  I just do not know if where you go them from allows that (if they are copyrighted works).

I get them from Smiley Repository; they allow hotlinking from their site. I don't know about the copyright status (they freely admit that they collected them from across the web). They do have a zip file you can download, on the homepage, which contains every smiley on their site.

I do like the the new board. I hope you can get the old green and black back. It just seemed to have a b-movie feel about it.

Besides that its great

Andrew,

What a difference the green and black makes.  This place is starting to feel like home!

[The Burgomaster]

Hmmmm . . . the new board looks sort of like a juke box.

Well done andrew, it is a huge step up from the last forum interface, which quite honestly turned me off from the original - I'm a junky for familiarity and one aspect I didn't like was that each "thread topic" was a different color...i tended to completely overlook the green rows. I don't mind it so much with the posts within the message but i didn't like it on the main menu.

I'll be interested to see where you go tweaking this one, but so far so good. I love the graphic look of it and didn't find it too difficult to navigate to the board. I hope you'll take suggestions. I need to play around with the features since i don't know what half of them do.

I feel like an idiot but i can't figure out why you can't reply to a specific post - do i have to scroll to the very top or bottom to select REply?

Each message has a "quote" button; you can click that.  If you don't want to quote the text from the message you are responding to, just select and delete it.

Also, there is a REPLY button at the very bottom of the message list as well.

Thanks, that helps. When I have more time i'll have to sit down and read through the Help features, most of it i can figure out by just messin around with it. The graphic interface is great, i'm lovin it. Makes it much more lively

This new board looks great, I was planning to register here anyway and it's just the kick in the pants I needed!

[Andrew]

Welcome aboard and that is a great nickname.  I actually play Warhammer 40K, as Tyranids, and one of my converted carnifexes is nicknamed Tars Tarkus.

The Martians are coming, the Martians are coming.

Ooops

The Green Martians are coming, the Green Martians are coming.

I've never played Warhammer, but have gotten some of their painting supplies for one of my other hobbies, they have some nice painting tips on their website.

[clockworkcanary]

I love the new design!  This will make posting and following discussins so much easier!

[dean]

I'll figure the ins and outs soon enough, but I had to mention one feature that was handy that I didn't realise:

I was writing up a reply, and had to step out for a bit in the middle of it, and when I came back and tried to post it warned me that there was a new reply and suggested that I review my post just in case!

This new forum is getting too worryingly smart for me [well almost...]
