New Board...growing pains!!!
« Reply #45 on: April 15, 2006, 06:52:03 AM »
Just to say, board is working faster today. Still no ball of fire, but much more usable (on broadband at least).

Speaking purely for myself, can I just say I don't expect a response from "the management" every time I post a comment. I'm sure they have more than enough to do and I'm just hoping added info will help their work. The bells and whistles can follow at a later date wink.gif

Thanks again.

On your server, Adrian? You would test stuff there?

Oh and very nice avatar if I do say so myself!  smile.gif

I agree with MHC - I like the Hunters and Collectors one too. Also this Arobase one and Lemon Chrome

Guess I'm partial to a bit more color - and I tend to like the warmer colors, though I like blue too. Not fond of grays and dark colors, and find many of the dark colors very hard to read over the long term. smile.gif

Here's what I'm noticing, and if any of these have been posted elsewhere I apologize. I'm having huge problems opening threads at this point. I figure that will ease up over time. I just don't have a bunch of time to wait.

1. Today I can reply, yesterday I could not.

2. Yesterday I dropped by and several threads where locked. Not sure why, as today they are unlocked. wacko.gif

3. Do we have new rankings or something? What is " Queen Typo"?  dntknw.gif  

4. The bunny is back.  :rabbit2:

 One of the new features wallbash.gif is the ability for moderators to lock a thread by right clicking *ahem* using whatever combination of keys you have programmed your more than one button mouse to bring up contextual menus, the folder on the far left of a topic title, and it will lock the thread.

If you, like I use the right click *ahem*use whatever combination of keys you have programmed your more than one button mouse to bring up contextual menus, to tab browse, it will lock the thread before the moderator notices it. oops.gif

There are still tweaks needing to be done, some, as Kris aid, may or may not be permanent.  But keep giving the feedback! thanx.gif

You programed and entire button to what Apple already provides?! What a waste of energy and hardware! eek2.gif  harhar.gif All you have to do is hold the 'left' button down for maybe 1/3 of a second and the contextural menu pops right up. One button, no additional keys, no *ahem* misteaks! harhar.gif

Instead, MY right button performs something useful! It brings up a list of Shakespeare sonnet's! ( 'option-right-click' forces an Old English font )... coolio.gif  notworthy.gif  taped.gif

Avatar Update:   Success!  Not a big thing, but a "thing" none the less.

Not sure what caused it, but today I tried about six times with FF and Saf to add my old avatar and still no dice.  Finally while still in Safari, I logged out and logged back in and went straight to "My Controls" and it took!  No error message either.  BTW, I'm getting that same error message:  IPB WARNING [2] (null)() [ref.outcontrol]: output handler 'ob_gzhandler' cannot be used twice (Line: 0 of Unknown) on the bottom of every page.  

Probably old news.  I can see you guys (N gals) are working hard getting the new format whipped into shape.  Good going.  I got the "Jungle" banner today and I'm looking forward to exploring.

 assure.gif No prob, and I'm delighted to know I'm not the only one who accidently hits key combos and does weird things.  tease.gif

My life will be so much fun in a few months when I go back to my MAC and it's ONE button mouse. I've gotten used to this 3 button mouse -- even if it's uncomfortable for my hand.

I do appreciate all the hard work y'all are putting in. May the Easter Bunny leave extra chocolate in your basket.  :rabbit2:

*Snip*


You go into your My Controls and then on the left sidebar navigation thingy you click on Edit Profile Information.

First field you see in the page to fill out is Custom member title.  smile.gif

Okay, who's playing tricks on me? biggrin.gif

That option was NOT there previously.

Now it is.

Maybe I'm going blind.

Or maybe I'm nuts. clown.gif tease.gif
