I cant find the VERY IMPORTANT “cancel post” button. That’s what keeps me a lurker, really! I had to hit the “back” button to get out of submit mode.
I love the new forum
Especially that all important -Preview- feature and the more important ‘topic review’
Very slick, very clean, and much more user friendly methinks ![]()
Well, I love looking at Cutie-Pie Nightshaydes mug but another thing that occurs to me is that the Watch Topic seems to be automatic. Thus I had three emails this morning telling me that a reply had been posted to the threads I contributed. That I really don’t like. ![]()
But I now see check-off box below. hope it stays unchecked. Still no cancel post for this uphill learning curve trekster.
I like it! I like change! [[/url]
HELP! Its not working. I have selected not to be notified but just got two more emails automatically notifying me.
Well, this will get rid of the Weekenders…sigh…hmmmm…
Adding later: For anyone else who might have this happening, I just found a box to uncheck in my PROFILEs, maybe its fixed now.
The Painful Travels along the Learning Curve.

My thoughts on change:
I’d rather have a single $100 bill than a pocket full of two-bit coins. Now replace those 2-bit pieces with $20 gold pieces, and I’d prefer that pocket full of change to the $100 note. But, money is just so much filthy lucre, anyway. So the matter of change is merely temporal, and not all that important in the overall scheme of things.

Change sucks!
Pocket change sucks!

Yes, but having a $1.39 little self folding leather thing keeps the change from jingling in my pocket so I can sneak by the battalion of begging grifters on Solano Avenue as well as break into the occasional run for the heck of it without sounding like a runaway vending machine.
Holds geetar picks too!!!
I really can’t do anything about browsers that old – 4.51 is five years old now, and there have been significant changes to the way browsers work since then. The forum will be usable without modern CSS support, but they won’t be pretty.
Any modern browser – Netscape 6 or 7, Mozilla 1.x, Internet Explorer 5 or 6, Opera, Safari, Omniweb – should work. (I’ve tested in most of those.)

This would’ve been fixed much sooner, except everyone posted to the forums about it, and no-one sent me mail or a private message – I’ve been checking the latter from work all day, but haven’t had time to read all the posts to the forums.
This](http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?p=104988%22%3EThis) announcement explains how email notifications have been fixed.
Cheers,

I really like how it takes you to your post and not the start of the thread after you post a reply to a multi-page thread. About time, I say. Thanks, Rich.
The only complaint I have is that the fonts are so small these 50 year old eyes are straining to read the posts!!!

as far as I can tell, one has to be smart enough to hit the style features, like bold and italic, before typing anything, lest that info comes only after what you have already typed? Right? otherwise you have to erase everything and start over. Highlighting or inserting by cursor does not work, as far as I can tell. I keep trying.
And I still cannot get the text to be colored.
New browsers
Higher resolution
Bolder text
background color concerns
Avatars
Emoticons
Faster connections
Bigger hard drives
Upgrades, upgrades, upgrades…
Don’t you just hate it when your local restaurant
prints up new menus and suddenly your favorite
meal disapears??

There’s a drop-down box above–Font colour Defalut. Click on the arrow and choose a color. Same with Font size–Normal.
Good Luck!
Lorenzo, not being computer literate I’ll need some luck. I thought I clicked on the whatever to enlarge the font size, but it’s still teeny! HELP!!!
~Larry
Take your cursor and drag it across the word first to “blue” it in, then select Colour. Blue it in again to change Font. Each time you do it you’ll see the brackets enclose it like bookends, automatically. Same with Bold or “B” italics, or the URL from the properties pasted here..blue it in first and click “img” above.
Oh…one thing more. The way it looks when you hit “preview” is the way it will look here.
trying again
Hm. Style changes still come at the END of what I type, I have to cut and paste commands to achieve above. And I now realize that I have to type in between the two color commands. Highlighting does NOT work still. maybe its the combo of browser and OS and some preferences I don’t know about.
but at least I can put in color now.
no biggie. Just extra work.
