A companion thread obviously, but maybe better than each item in its own thread.

The View|Text Size command (in IE) no longer affects the font size in the actual bulletin board area (it still does in the ads and links on top) UNLESS I activate the the "Accessibility Options" and "Ignore Font Size specified on web page." I'm no expert on HTML. but I think this is an issue of fixed vs relative font sizes specified in the code. I'm old (who would have guessed) and tend to use a pretty large font size, others obviously prefer smaller.

Can the bulletin board go back to relative font sizes so we can all "roll our own?"

as mentioned in the other thread.... i dont like the seperation of each thread by the blue bars into their own little windows..

i also dont like that i cant use quick reply yet!!

but the ability to check or uncheck SIG when doing quick reply is great

I dont like how some of the smilies changed.

The only thing I don't like is that everytime I close IE I have to sign in again despite the fact that I checked off "Remember Me".

while being able to see the title and poster name of the most recent post

it may not be a good idea that we can see the name of the last thread from ADULT talk while surfing in OTHER

thats a step towards getting non work friendly

hmmmm
and its good that the threads with new posts are BOLD... but it kindof sucks that it goes bold when I post in the thread

it should only detect new posts from OTHER people

ick... just ick... it's too "pretty"... plus not cool having to click quick reply in a post before being able to quick reply... hrmmm

minimum post size
while I understand the idea.. it just doesnt seem like a good thing on a global scale


in the other thread.. i said
[MOVING TO TECH FORUM]
thats more than 10 characters.. but it didnt pass the minimum requirements

I agree. Also, when you click on "mark forum read", it takes you off the forum you want marked read. Before, you stayed on the forum.

sorry Geoff... I hate to be a negative nelly, but I can't find anything that I do like about it so far...

... and I know you have to make a living, but YUCK to the "sponsored ads" within the thread after the first post... same annoying thing that showed up on FW recently

I don't like the quick reply thing either.

also, you can't quote a quote like you used to be able too.

also, i dont think subscriptions are working

when were you ever able to quote a quote?

without doing it manually that is...

um...maybe i'm thinking of another forum. doh!

but quotes weren't in a separate box...and that's ugly.

all changed


but they are clickable now

yea.. you always have to do it manually here.. which i prefer.. because i just want to single quote most of the time.. so its more trouble to always delete out the long thread of multi quotes, than it is to manually put one in.. on the rare instance i want to..

they were sep out before... but it was much smoother because i believe it feel into the two tone style we had before.. (not this current way where everything seems to be in its own little window)

i prefer the two tone style much more

As I posted in another thread, you can use quick reply, it's the small button in the lower right-hand corner of each post. Hit it and it will take you to the QR box and you'll be able to use it. That's an extra step that Geoff can (and probably will) disable.

As for ads, I think Geoff is planning on introducing a paid option to remove the ads. The website is expensive to run. I have those on my board and most people don't even notice them. As much as you don't want to believe it right now you will get used to them.

Venusian - What do you mean by subscriptions? Threads that you're subscribed to?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

we dont have the individual SEARCH box in each seperate forum!
there is that one up above.. but that does a global search, regardless where you do it from.. unless you go to advanced options

i really like that individual search.. hopefully it comes back quick

Why am I seeing posts from twikoff and Venusian? Has my old Ignore List been deleted?

Right, you can go to advanced options but there's also a "search this forum" or "search this thread" drop down depending on what page you're on. It's also at the top. In the upper right hand corner of the first post. It's actually a lot more convenient.

edit: bah message too short only after editing it

again

the premium membershit idea has been brought up in the past.. and for the most part.. everyone has been very accepting of it..
I for one am looking forward to it

he has no plans to make this a pay site.. just the option of getting special features by being a premium member.. I think its an excellent idea and a great way for people to support the site.

Hmm, if you're posting informative stuff like this now, maybe I shouldn't be so quick to ignore you.

meh.. i rarely would have a use for a "search this thread" option
but "search this forum" on the other hand is invaluable to me.. and i dont like having to go into advanced options to do that

in my opinion.. convenience factor just plummetted there
