Welcome!

[Joe]

Please report any issue here.

[Lurker64]

Mentioned this in the other thread. You apparently have all of the old titles (which means a lot of v-scroll), and nobody else has their title from the old board.

Also, "You may not edit your posts" Why is this the case? I oftentimes want to correct a typographical error, or think of something else I want to add to a recent post and don't want to double-post.

[gbgary]

how does one get a custom title?

[Joemailman]

Just a heads up that time zone is set for Western Europe, at least it was for me, so you'll have to change that. Unless you're in London or thereabouts.

[pbmax]

Please report any issue here.

Boy, this is going to take some getting used to. I may need a bigger screen. I also vote to allow edits to one's own posts.

[pbmax]

I also vote to not have the "Re: Welcome!" subject headline in each post on a thread. On the old board, it was easy to get lost if you hit back for awhile, as the page did not contain the thread title (it was contained in the name of the browser tab).

On this board, the thread title is always on top. That's the only reminder needed, I think.

[mission]

Hmm... test?

[HowardRoark]

I vote we get to edit Woody's posts.

[mission]

It'd be nice if the bottom of the screen also had a navigation "tree" so we don't have to scroll up to go to the main forum page.

>> Forum >> Big Cheese >> Green Bay Packers


I do like the 'Quick Reply' feature.

[Administrator]

I will be posting with the old administrator account until the rank issue is resolved.

Obviously there is some work to do. The post edit will get fixed, you do have to change your time zone by going to "settings" in the upper right of your screen. PB I am not sure if the subject line can be changed at this time my primary concern is to verify all can log on and all content has been moved.

Also the custom ranks will be restored if possible.

[mission]

What's the little grey box underneath the 'All-Pro Rat'? The extra line break is bugging me for some reason.

And will you take submissions for a new logo using the same football texture background? Current one isn't very appealing. No offense. My sister-in-law is a good graphics design student; I could probably get her to whip up some drafts.

Are we on Grenich Mean Time? Says its 2:17am I got 6 hours earlier.

Since you have brought it up I actually want to have a photo contest for the new header. The current one is a simple place marker.

I found where to default the forum time to CT but not the members themselves. SO if you are not logged on it will be correct until you log on. Try clicking on this link when logged on should get you to the time zone changing screen.

How do you rate a specific post?

[Administrator]

Rating has to be enabled. Which will happen soon.

[ThunderDan]

Thank you on the time change!

[HowardRoark]

I tried posting the BCS standings in quotes, and it said it had to be at least 10 characters. I took the quotes off and it was OK. Could be operator error though, I'm new with the equipment.

Make that BCS.

Edit: Just noticed I could edit. So strike this edit.

[wist43]

okay, i'm in i guess :)

[Administrator]

Ok, the post limit has been changed and you should be able to edit post now.

[ThunderDan]

Is there anyway to make all threads "read" after you log out? I liked knowing which posts were new since the last time I had log out without having to see every post in threads I didn't want to.

[Scott Campbell]

What happned to the "Moss To The Vikings?" thread?

[pbmax]

OK, LOVE the inline editing feature. No page reloads and just a save button. Fantastic improvement for the spelling and clarity impaired.

[channtheman]

I'm unsure of how to get the smilies to work. I went on advanced and click on the smily but I don't think it worked.

EDIT: see the smily goes to the top of my post. That isn't very useful for me though. How do I insert a smily anywhere in my post?

For this message, I clicked on Reply with Quote, then advanced, then I clicked the emoticon.

EDIT: And it didn't work. :sad:

They are not showing up for me. I see the words that represent the smily, but not the smily. Is there something disabled on my account maybe?

Weird. Seven emoticons and only one posts.

I don't even have the emoticons option when I go advanced. I have the ability to add an icon to my post but not in my post.

Go to Settings at the top. Then left column click General Settings. Under Miscellaneous go to Editor Interface and choose Standard or Advanced rather than basic.

I had changed it to the advanced one and the emoticons weren't on the right. Then I changed it to standard and they showed up. Now, I put it back to the advanced and they are still there. Thanks pb!

Now, the :shock: emoticon still doesn't seem to be working.:mad:

It looks like vBulletin is sticking only with its version of the emoticons, and not the customized ones from the old system. All those icons are new, even if the "emotion" is the same as the previous board.

[ThunderDan]

This might be the greatest use of emocons ever in a thread.

[channtheman]

I hope Admin can get more of the older ones to work. I don't know how this stuff works though so maybe it isn't even possible.

EDIT: I do love the new forum though. Multi quote is nice. Seems faster to post since it doesn't have to open a new page.

[channtheman]

This might be the greatest use of emocons ever in a thread.

Do you actually see all of them?

[pbmax]

Prepare to be shocked. But the new BS system, clap, clap, clap, is only capable of the eleven basic human emoticons.
That, of course, as originally detailed by Aristotle means Smile, Sad, Very Happy, mad, Razz, confused, Surprised, wink, rolls eyes sarcastically, cool and eek are your only emotions now.

And the worst fucking thing? I can't even show you how shocked I am. :mad:

[retailguy]

The baffling thing is that they all show up on the main homepage... But not in the actual thread?

[channtheman]

Wow, yeah you are right. On the homepage where it shows recent posts, it shows a post where I put the :lol: and it shows up there, but not in my post. I don't get it.

[Lurker64]

I'm pretty sure that you're just seeing the default emoticons. I've never met a bulletin board software incapable of having additional emoticons added to it.

[Lurker64]

One thing I'd really like to see. Could we get a link back to the forum at the bottom of the page inside of a thread? In addition to the previous thread/next thread options?

There is the quick navigation thing that has a drop down menu and you can click the forum from there.

You can also click the TOP icon in the lower right corner.

All I know is that pbmax finally made a positive contribution to the board with this thread. :emoticon showing laughter, not in a mocking way so as to hurt your feelings and cause a flame war or a complaint to the Admin which will then bring about even more vile feelings, but in a "got you with a zinger" way:

[CaptainKickass]

I've never met a bulletin board software incapable of having additional emoticons added to it.

I met one once. At the hotel lounge one night on a business trip.
We were both so far from home and feeling alone, so we drank several cocktails and then hooked up.

It was a time, and I left feeling whelmed.

[vince]

wonering about images in sigs. Can they be allowed or shoudl we edit?

[mission]

I'd like for more than 10 posts per page. It's not '99 anymore, we have enough bandwidth. A lot of time I'm on here on my iPhone and its harder picking a page and all that.

[ThunderDan]

Go to your preference page. You can adjust how many post you want per page. I have already moved mine to 20.

[hoosier]

Why is the garbage can locked in the new forum?

You were only whelmed because no additional emoticons were able to be added.

[sheepshead]

Tarlem! has scheduled extra time with his shrink in an effort to ease the trauma.

[channtheman]

Is there a way to get my entire post history to show up when I click on "show all posts"? Right now it only shows the posts I've made on the new forum.

Ok, the post limit has been changed and you should be able to edit post now.

you CAN edit but for only a short time after posting. after that time has passed you can't.

[Travbrew]

Yay! Thanks Joe!

Yeah can we increase the time to edit a post to forever? Or at least to a few hours after the post is made.

[MadScientist]

In the "I wish the new forum did "THIS"...." thread, I can read the first page but the rest give me a 403 - permission denied error.

[Joe]

I am aware of 403 permission problem and looking for the fix.

Nice new look ! Great job Joe !

[Joe]

made a change. are the emoticons working now?

Yes, I'm seeing them. Now I'm gonna see if I can post them here: :)
