New Stuff!!!

Now, about Phred's color problem -
maybe use different shapes?
I notice the icons have symbols in them - maybe symbols could be added.

Shapes are GOOD!!
The "old" Yelllow check mark being on/off was good enough for me!
I'm red/green color blind; but Yellow is always bright and noticable.
Blue is good as long as it's "bright" and not too deep or dark ...
some blues appear almost black.

Red/Green is the most common color deficiency ... but I know color blind folks who
see nothng but Black, White, and shades of Grey!

Thanks, Phred.

Say, in your post, now sandwiched between two of mine - on the right hand side next to the post number - do you see a triangle? I'm thinking "bad post" is not offered on our own posts.

Thanks Again.

Right you are!

You can't mark your OWN post as "bad"!

What HAPPENS if you hit that *clicker* on someone's post?????

I don't have the courage to "try it"!

Awww, NUTZ!

Notice the "Last edited by Cinder & Smoke : Today at 12:02 PM. Reason: typo
under my last post??

I went back in to fix a typo within 30 seconds or the original "posting" ...
And got "caught" with the "EDITED" flag!


I "used to" be able to fix schpelling and grammer errors
(within the first few minutes of a post being posted)
WITHOUT that "edited" flag being slapped on the post ...

NUTZ!

Looks like ya gotta schpell it write da furst tyme ...
or suffer the of the ole "edit tag"!

I just noticed another new feauture, you can "minimize" a Forum by clicking the 2 arrows on the right side of it.

LOL! Phred, perhaps you can edit without filling in the field, and it may noy show - haven't tried that myself.

[Cinder & Smoke]

you can "minimize" a Forum by clicking the 2 arrows on the right side of it.

And thoe "2 arrows" would be located WHERE??

On an Index page?

[Freckles]

Phred, the two arrows are on the Home page - is that what you mean by index?

I am unable to change my avatar. I get an error message about it (and it is one I've used before.)

Same problem for me! Is that feature not active yet, Karen?

Oh Phred, I see what you mean. Bad enough to see that you had to edit your post - but to be able to see the "reason" - makes it look like your grade just went from an "A" down to an A- ...........cause you couldn't spell!

"Report Bad Post" sends an automatic email to all the moderators/administrators and gives you a chance to put in a reason why you think it is a "bad" post.

Note, however, that it sends an email - NOT a private message, and if you need something noticed right away, a Private Message is always a faster way to reach me.

Paul is looking into the avatar problem, as noted in another post.

   Avatars should now be working again for everyone.

There's something new in the User CP!!
Under Settings & Options - we can add a Profile Picture. I remember this feature in one of the earlier PetTalk versions. Now I have to find a decent picture!

[Uabassoon]

I like the new user picture feature. I added mine already

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Wow - I too thought I was in the wrong place at first! So far everything looks really cool, and after reading this thread I've been able to find some things I couldn't at first, but one I still can't find is the "Mark all messages as read." I remember it being at the bottom of each "topic" page and at the bottom of the main Pet Talk page. Is it still here and I'm just not seeing it?

Thanks Karen and Paul. Looks like the upgrades are well worth the minor inconvenience of learning the new software.

Wow! I just noticed when you click on the color option, you can actually see a bar of the color rather than just the name in color.....well....unless you're Phred.

Oh, and I noticed the "invisible" thing too and was wondering why I could still see myself, but this thread is very helpful in explaining that I'm only visible to myself.
