I changed my ‘theme’ to Simple Sam. Seems easier.
You hit the nail on the head – a chat site rather than a message board.
Highlight the text in the post you want to quote. A box will pop up that says "quote. Click that and a reply box comes up with the highlighted text already in it. Start your reply a line below the quoted text.
Now, I wish I could figure out how to review my reply before I post it.
I’m really perturbed my favorite **thread games ** had been locked😶
That doesn’t work if you’re using a phone, unfortunately. No mouseovers.
It is easier. But I love the demarcations in the ‘material’ one too. Hmm… choices.
Look down at the bottom of the reply window; on mine, at least, in the lower right corner it says “show preview”. Click on that, and the preview shows up to the right.
When I first came over that seemed to be automatically turned on, and I was confused because I was seeing everything I was typing twice, as I typed it. But all you need to do to get rid of that is to click “hide preview” in the lower right of the preview box.
Having said all that: it doesn’t really seem to be the same sort of preview function as the old board had, because it doesn’t look just like the post would. It does show how the quote would appear, though.
Ah, I see. It’s that little icon that looks like a computer monitor. Thanks.
Huh. I’m not seeing an icon at all; I’m seeing the words “hide preview” or “show preview”.
Different theme? Different browser? Different OS? Computers are weird.
– and I may have to turn off being notified of replies, that certainly increases the distraction factor when trying to get something else done!
Thank you.
Maybe it’s because I’m on a phone and not a PC. It may have something to do with the mobile layout.
I was thinking a combo of the two themes would be perfect. The text blocking and gray-space of Material, the de-cluttering of Simple Sam.
I’m here. This is going to take some getting used to.
I think I’m getting the hang of it, but I can’t say I’m loving it.
I have arrived. Still getting used to it.
Yay!
…we’re trickling in.
Oh, I see how it is. I leave for a few weeks and you guys re-arrange the furniture while I’m gone. As long as you didn’t drink my beer it should be fine.
belch
Gonna take some getting used to. But several posters both here and “Elsewhere” have been very helpful about sharing settings, hacks, tips, tricks, and such to make the move less stressful.
Hey, you’re back!
