Upgrade Status

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.

[Cinder & Smoke]

... but can't send Private messages via the buddy list anymore?

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.

I replied to a thread just now and it didn't move to the top of the other threads on page 1...it stayed in the middle of the second page...not sure why...wasn't it when you would reply to a post before, in the "most viewed threads" section, now called "new posts", it moved up the top of the 1st page afte replying to it? I am no computer expert, so ignore this if it makes no sense! LOL

Edit:
Doh!! It just now moved up to the first page...I guess it just took longer than normal!

[Karen]

If you hit the "back" button in your browser to get back to the main listing, your machine had probably cached the page, and if you hit reload, it would update immediately.

Me too Glad I'm not the only one. It will just take some getting used to.

Really? It pops up in a new window for me. What browser are you using?

Same here!

[Kfamr]

Does the same for me.

I haven't done a lot of fiddling around with the new format but it looks nice and I am not normally one who loves change. From what I have seen so far, it seems like it will be just fine. I did just try to change my avatar (after five years I figured it was time). I kept getting a message that the URL was not found. It is stored at photobucket and I have used it at another site. Not sure what's wrong. Anyone else having avatar problems?
