THANX FOR THE NEW FORUM GILBY! (and a couple of questions)

GILD · 2005-09-30, 06:49 AM

Big surprise when i logged in this morning.
Seems like all sorts of new bells and whistles.
And the 'Change Password' feature seems to be working again.

I notice that pics aren't displayed in the messages anymore. Is that a setting I can change?

I added '(and a couple of questions)' to the thread title cause I assumed there would be a couple.

Cor blimey guv'nor, it's all new...

One observation: the text size has got bigger. I'm one of those irritating people who like really teeny writing, so is there a way to make it smaller again?

(Oooo! A spellcheck button! Now there's no excuse...)

Teehee... the control panel has a list of all the attachments you have ever posted. I like...

im just checkin out all this new stuff, bacicly a test post.

Evan Byrne · 2005-09-30, 07:17 AM

The gallerys still broken for me.

GILD · 2005-09-30, 07:20 AM

I love the 'Go Advanced' button.
I think it should be changed to 'Go Hardcore' but that's just because I still have tomblackwood's comment on my mind.

I found the spell-check button.

That wasn't a very thorough test. Try that button with the tick, top right...

Gild, I still need to explore all the new features as well, but I think the poster can insert the attachment inline their post, but otherwise, it'll show all attachments as thumbnails.

Phil, not sure on the font size issue. Doesn't seem bigger to me, but if it's a big issue we can change the style.

Evan, yes the gallery has not been upgraded yet. That'll be done tomorrow along with moving all the email and webspce to the new server. Until then, I'm going to get some sleep. If you find any bugs/issues, please let me know.

GILD · 2005-09-30, 07:57 AM

Sleep well Gilby.

Something else I need to figure out is how to do links with underlined text that you click on to get to the link.
There are HTML Tags and PNP tags but nothing like the 'Enter text for your link' dialogue boxes like before. Can anyone help?

s7ev0 · 2005-09-30, 08:01 AM

Good work, Gilby! Brightened up my working day already!

I like the little green light that tells you if someone's online, but I miss the list of who's online so I can see at a glance who's around.

Well done!

munimanpete · 2005-09-30, 08:12 AM

I don't like it! But thats because I don't like change in stuff like this

Im sure I'll get used to and then i'll like it.

Thanx.

Now go to bed!

OH, one other thing.
The search function (which now allows you to search for threads started by a specific user - very handy), seems to only be able to search posts made since the upgrade.
Is that a temporary situation?
