   Karen and I still have a lot of work to do. However, Pet Talk is back online. Messages may once again have attachments. The search engine is being rebuilt so it's not yet full functional. Pet Talk may be slower all day today as the search index is being rebuilt.
   If you find something that does not work or have a question please post it here.

Thanks Karen and Paul. This new software is very nice. Still checking it all out, but I do like it.
PS: The "cool" smilie does not show up under smilies...it's just a blank area.

OH! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how the PM's are seperated into different days/time periods. It makes me inbox look less intimidating. :D :D
The "cool" smiley works now. :cool:
Thanks on the cool smiley. I was having a moment there. LOL.
welcome back the modern pet talk!
smilies work okay on mine, some will come blank on posting page but I see them on thread page.
while I'll have to explore more, what does our dots by our name means?
hope you get to get some sleep now, paul & karen!
Paul,
I have chosen to be invisible, however, I still show up in the active user list. I check my settings and I do have invisible checked. Also, I have a * next to my name..what is that? Thanks.

Love the new look.
Thanks Karen and Paul for all the hard work!!
(((HUGS))))

what is it, gemini? :confused: can't find where it says what it means..yet!
I have a question.. where's "subscribe to this thread" below each thread? look like we have lost our notifications.. I lost my notifications I replied to, about over 50. :( I can't repost in every thread and how I like to follow up some threads.. darn.
I just came back to this and see I've not gotten any noification from this! and few others I just responded to this morning.. (???)
help? thanks!
Gina, Where it says at the top of the thread "Thread Tools"..
If you click it will show an option to subscribe to a thread.
I guess I'll have to do that on a computer, when I click on it (on pager), it takes me back to the bottom of this page. owhelly, thanks kay.
Everything looks good. I still need to figure everything out though. I have a hard time dealing with change;)..lol
The white sides bother my eyes a bit and so does the color of the talk forum. It's a little too light for my eyes.
For the rest, it is great.
ahh another thing I noticed.. time zone error??
usually I would see my pacific time of my post but I see it says 7:53AM instead of 8:53AM and it's 9:07AM now..
I understand GMT -8 time is correct too. :confused:
why am I not getting any notifications? is it my pager or everyone too?
my user cp said I have 14 subscriptions & I have my notification mode on.. :confused:
Just what I need now :rolleyes: on top of everything else, an ugly, hard to look at design. :( :( :(
That post really seems like a slap in the face to Karen and Paul who have done a lot of hard work to make Pet Talk better for all of us! Many love the new design, others will need to adjust to it, but before long it'll seem just as "normal" as the old design! :) Personally the blue is easier on my eyes than the white, as I stare at a white screen all day for work. I think you are being a bit overdramatic ;). I wish instead that you could recognize how hard Karen and Paul are working to make PT better for all of us :).Quote:

Odd, actually, I've found the site to be loading slightly faster than it did yesterday. :)
Wow, lets try to be a little more greatful to the people who make this board possible to begin with!!Quote:

The Pet Talk mail server is running a bit behind right now, as the machine is still working on updating the search index for all of Pet Talk! By tomorrow, notifications, etc. should all run more smoothly.Quote:

It still says MAYNOT POST ATTACHMENTS for me. (although I have not actually tried it.)
The * by your name means you are invisible to OTHERS, (but you will see yourself....and no one else will see the *)
Thanks Jen. :D I like the widescreen view. It removes the
bright white spaces on the sides.
Not only that, but with the white spaces on the side, I need to scroll left/right.....which is irritating!Quote:

Same for me and I just tested it out by trying to start a new thread. The option for attachments was not available.
The one thing I have to get used to are the icons on this reply screen. I'm used to seeing "Quote" and now have to remember that it's the last icon on the right. Hovering the cursor over the icon will tell you what it's for.
I'm also very impressed with the red triangle that allows us to notify of a bad post. Very cool! :cool:
glad it is back
I love the new look!! :D Yes, it may take a day or two to figure out the new things - but it looks just terrific.
Thanks so much Karen and Paul.
The new look is starting to grow on me, now that I'm figuring things out! :D Thanks Paul and Karen, great job! :D
Posting attachments has now been enabled for everyone.
Me too - it's quite nice!Quote:

I think I got it all together now. Is there any way to make it so it doesn't show you what is inside the thread when you rest your mouse on it?
Have you ever noticed that people are really glad when they get a new electronic product (DVD player, phone, iPod, etc....) for Xmas and even if they have to read the instructions they will say that THEY LOVE IT???
But, change the web site and everyone panics :eek: ;) :D :cool:
I like the graphic "mail box" meter....
Hey, it's better than learning a new program for work!!!!
Thanks Karen and Paul!
Xmas in October!
You're welcome, Richard!
Yes, the site was running faster Sunday than it was on Saturday. It literally took ALL day Saturday for the search engine to rebuild its index. But then again, with all the blabbermouths around here, and our 1.2 million posts, it sure would have taken me longer to sort 1.2 million of anything by hand! That process put a huge load on the machine, but we won;t have to do that again any time soon!
I agree - Suki Wingy - have you EVER said anything nice - ever?Quote:

Personally its growing on me - it takes time for everything that is new.
Good job Karen and Paul.
I am still fairly new to this site, but I enjoy it so much that I am here several times a day while at work :eek: Some may take a "cigarette break", but I sit at my desk and look at pet talk! :D
Thank you for a great site for all of us! I enjoy the updates, and keep up the great work! :cool:
At first, I had to get used to the new look. But now I really love it very much! I love the way each message is framed, and I love the colours!
Thank you Paul and Karen!!!
