Upgrade Status

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

Some may take a "cigarette break", but I sit at my desk and look at pet talk!

Thank you for a great site for all of us! I enjoy the updates, and keep up the great work!

I have to say it took me by surprise, but I acclimate quite quickly and love the different features!

Great job Paul (and Karen)

I'm still feeling my way around the new format, and agree that everything moves faster now.

Thanks again, Karen and Pau.

I rather enjoy the change. It didn't take me by surprise as you did announce the upgrade.

Thank you, thank you.

The one thing I am confused about and maybe it is b/c I am just too dense to figger it out but we can't send Private messages via the buddy list anymore? I used that a lot....
But maybe I just can't figger it out...

You can send a PM to more than one person at a time, just use a semi colon - ; - to separate each username. I'll have to delve further into the buddy list thing, as I never use it.

SURE ya can!!

1) Click on "Quick Links" - top bar on each page - right end

2) Third option down is "Open Buddy List" - *click* it ...

3) You'll get another Drop-Down Box with all you're Buddies listed AND

4) A Check Box beside each Buddy's Name

5) CHECK each Buddy you want to send a common PM to; FIVE max!

6) Scroll DOWN to the bottom of the Drop-Down Box and *click* the action box.

7) You'll get a standard PM page with the Buddies on the Send To: line.

One thing I HAVEN'T figgured out -
Used to be able to FORWARD a PM to the Buddy List ...
Don't know that secret, yet.

I don't know how to do that, either. Didn't even know you could.

I love the new changes, but there is one teeny tiny thing that I am not used to yet. When you click on an attachment it doesnt' open it in a new window. So to return to the previous you have to hit "back", and I always close out the screen first. You would think I would learn.
