The new board is smoking!

They shut down the board all afternoon to add an annoyance? :confused

YES!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! The little “go to” box at the bottom of each thread now defaults to the forum that you are in!!!

since it changed my sig back to an old version, I’m testing it here. Also I predict I’ll get a lot of use out of this smiley :stuck_out_tongue:

I kinda like the new smilies. Gotta learn 'em…lessee

:mad: is this how it works?

I got “flood controlled” too…hehehe


I crave an art that passionately transcends the mundane instead of being a device for self-deception.–Griffin, from The Griffin and Sabine trilogy.

Let’s try this new option…
As for the flames, I think those could go.

I still have my same sig line.

Isn’t that the way it was when this MB first went online nine months ago? That’s progress for you.

Note to Tuba etal: Please get rid of the flames. (I like the quoting feature, though)

I’m just trying it out. :rolleyes:

Uhh, didn’t this board used to say “If you must flame, do it in the pit.”?

Flaming folders are dumb.


Tom~

:eek: THIS is the upgrade?

Great, now I have to redo my tutorial with those extra faces. :mad:

Wait, nevermind, there’s a little link on the left. Cool. :cool:

Has anyone tested the search yet to see if it works?

I am going to break out all the fire extinguishers I can get my hands on…

But I do like the smilies :eek:

:mad:
:eek:
:confused:

sorry, I have to learn these

It’s a smiley totem pole < grin >

I’m going to like the quote feature - sorry, Lawrence. :stuck_out_tongue:

I hope the smiley use slows down - it’s fun now, but will definitely get old fast. :rolleyes:

But, please - lose the flaming folders. :eek: Didn’t any of the admins read the reactions to these in the LB chronicles? Everyone hated those things. :eek:

PS - I do like the disable smilie feature.

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.

I hate the flames. I hate the new smilies. Gaah! We’re a pale imitation of the LBMB now. Did I mention I hate the flames? I really really hate the flames. Geez, I hope we at least got a working search function out of this overhaul.

:eek: I don’t like the flames one bit. I can’t stand animated graphics on any websites. But one where I spend so much time reading? VERY annoying :mad:

:confused: wonder how my sig line will turn out. Testing, 1 2 3

THE SEARCH FUNCTION WORKS!

However, I agree with Gaudere…I hate the flaming folders. I REALLY hate the flaming folders.

IDEA

Hey Administrators,

It’s obvious from surfing the boards the people are not keen to the idea of animated folders with flames.

Here’s a thought, instead of the flames, maybe make the folders red (change the newest to blue?)

If that doesn’t suit thee, then check out http://www.pspug they use a similar idea, but not animated.

I must admit the animation is a painful thing…

Just my thoughts

sorry, forgot the “.com”

< maybe it’s time for bed? >

Oh geez, I am loosing it, I am VERY sorry
http://www.pspug.org

I know this is the right one, I checked it out…

:o

I don’t hate the flames, but they do seem pointless, as we can see exactly how many responses each post has received. If such a feature is to be used, maybe it could instead refer to a thread that a moderater, admin, advisory board member, etc. has posted to.

My profile was also changed to what it contained about two or three days ago. Did someone forget to run a backup first?

Every thing is jake except the burning folders.

They gotta go.
