Guest Paracelsus Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 You sure work FAST, buddy I thought I'd have to endure FWS ("Forum Withdrawl Syndrome") until late this evening Quote
Arena2045 Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 * 3 letter searches will NOT be allowed until we move to the new server... even then we will only be doing a test run to see how the server load is affected.* PNG files can now be posted, but not as avatars.* All forums now have the "Fast Reply" feature.* Currently working on minor modifications...

nlinecomputers Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Hey looks good. My avatar even survived the transfer. Any major bumps or did it go as smoooth as this looks? Quote
Jeber Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Very good job, Arena. It looks sharp. Now I've got to go look around the new place. Quote
Arena2045 Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Transition went smoothly.- Profile system still has the System Specification area- "« Next Oldest | Next Newest »" links are at the bottom of every thread- Address Card (first button below each post) does not open a pop-up window, but goes directly to the poster's profile.- Every forum now has the "Fast Reply" option- Under the logo there are links to Scot's Newsletter, the Subscription Center, the Current Issue, and Back Issues- New versions of the previous skins, new lighter colors so its easier on the eyes... also you will notice the logo is new, and all the skins have common elements such as the same background color- Active user list: Admins = Red, Mods = Blue, Members = Black- Today's Active Topics link has a new feature "Show me active topics posted..." with various options.- Every skin has the same bright RED "go to last unread" image (the little box that appears right before the title of a thread- Via a members profile, if you click on "Find all posts by this member..." it will now show the ENTIRE post, and they are now in order, most recent first. VERY NICE, no longer random- Privacy feature: guests can not view members profiles- * We will be adding 3 letter searches when we move to the new server, on a test trial- * No, we do not have plans to offer file/image attachments to posts. If you want to post a screen shot contact a Forum Mod or Admin and they will help you get the image on a server.- We have a new warning system, where Admins/Mods can warn users for breaking the Forum Rules... more on this later.- Plus much much more...- Last but not least, the Forum Rules are still linked to on every page, there is no excuse for not knowing that they are there.

Arena2045 Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 I've encapsulated the important information in the forums header. Some people did not know that forum was going to be down for maintenance today; even though plenty of notice was given.Hopefully this will stick out a little more.And thanks to all for your comments... it took longer than I expected, but it is done.

Arena2045 Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 A number of members requested that I change back the links to blue so they stand out. I found the code to do so, and have since changed all the skins so that links show up as blue with an underline, and hover red. - Enjoy Quote
Ed_P Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 I like what I see so far. Nice job Arena2045 - Every forum now has the "Fast Reply" optionWhat is that?- Under the logo there are links to Scot's Newsletter, the Subscription Center, the Current Issue, and Back Issues Excellent idea. - Plus new emoticons:But not a .

Ed_P Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 (edited) !!!!!! What's happened to signatures? I have the option checked.UpdateNow they are back!? Edited June 29, 2004 by EdP Quote
ross549 Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 - Every forum now has the "Fast Reply" optionWhat is that? Click it and try it out.....It actually saves on bandwidth- instead of having to load another page to reply, click the button type a quick reply, and Submit. Voila! Instant post, in two page serves, instead of three. :PEDIT: It will not have any of the handy helper buttons or anything, so if you want to do a more elaborate post, use the normal reply/quote buittons.

Ed_P Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Kewl!! Thanks ross549. I didn't see the button. (Why am I the only one with a need for this smiley? ) Quote
Neil P Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Fast Reply is great! Mozillazine added it and it is much easier to reply....everything seems much........nicer. I really like it, nice work Arena! Quote
zlim Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Thanks for all the hard work Arena. The forum looks better than ever! Quote
Guest Paracelsus Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 (Why am I the only one with a need for this smiley?  )'Cause You're the only one who makes mistakes?? (Or at least is the only one honest enough to feel embarassed by them??) Quote
havnblast Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 if you start out in the fast reply mode and decide you want to do more you can click the More Options button and it will save what you have typed out and bring up the regular reply box with all the options. Quote
Ed_P Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 'Cause You're the only one who makes mistakes?? Apparently! Sheesh Quote
