If I want to know if someone is online, I can look over there. I don't need a flashing beacon telling me they are on. (constructive criticism)
I have changed the online notifier from an image to a piece of text.
More smilies woohoo (there is a 5 smlie per post limit really?)! :clap:
hifty: :crazy: :wtf: :wave: Opus is that a custom title I see under your name? Does this mean posting titles might be making a comeback?
Re: New Forum Questions, suggestions, etc - Opus - 04-10-2009
Its in a beta phase right now.. tested it with my account and Biff's account.
Re: New Forum Questions, suggestions, etc - zdunklee - 04-10-2009
Sweetness x10!
(they might need to be a little larger tho so they stand out some)

If we want to go the red title route my opinion is that is the perfect size and font...it's there but professional looking...
Re: New Forum Questions, suggestions, etc - Opus - 04-10-2009
The titles can be modified with BBCode, so they can be any color, font, size, smilies, etc that you can use in the posts.
Since I still need to test this feature.. anybody have any requests for titles? Be creative. Tell me color, font, etc.
Re: New Forum Questions, suggestions, etc - Howie Feltersnatch - 04-10-2009
I miss my pink color...so give me a custom title refering to pink...surprise me :thumbup:
Re: New Forum Questions, suggestions, etc - Opus - 04-10-2009
Hows that?
Re: New Forum Questions, suggestions, etc - Howie Feltersnatch - 04-10-2009

My title should read... "The King of Awesome"

Yes, they were very distracting. It was difficult to differentiate between the text of the post and the signature line. It threw off the flow of the conversation IMO.

Hey Opus.....if you're still looking for someone to experiment on, I'd love to have my name in green and maybe little lobsters or moose instead of hearts like Howies!!

I don't have time to figure out how to make your name green, but how about some lobsters? :clap:
Re: New Forum Questions, suggestions, etc - Mad Dog - 04-11-2009
When I hit the "search your posts" button it takes me to a list of threads my posts are in, but not my actual post, like the old board.
Also, since you have an arrow that takes you to the top of the thread, do you think you could add an arrow that takes you to the bottom as well?

Are you doing it from the person's profile? It just worked for me.

Out of curiosity, why?
Re: New Forum Questions, suggestions, etc - Mad Dog - 04-11-2009
No when I hit search posts, it is the one at the top of the page. And as for the little up down arrow, never mind. I just discovered the veiw last post button so it would be redundent.
However I am getting frustrated with the spell checker. Because it will recognize a mis-spelled word, but wont give any suggestions as to what the right spelling should be. Should I buy a dictionary to help teach it new words?

I guess I don't understand what the trick is.

I think this is a good idea. have a button maybe not to the bottom of the page, but to go to the last post instead of scrolling down or hitting the end key that will lead to the very bottom and still need to be adjusted. yeah its lazy but just as lazy as clicking a button to get to the top instead of just hitting the home key.

Anybody know how to make a bullet list work here? I've messed around with the tags a bit and can't seem to figure it out.

Re: New Forum Questions, suggestions, etc - Rock Monster - 04-13-2009
Is there any way to make the NSFW threads a different color to remind us? I know ultimately it is up to us to not get fired, but I would hate to hear of someone get into trouble because they didn't realize that a thread was in the NSFW area.
Re: New Forum Questions, suggestions, etc - linzi - 04-14-2009
If it's not too much to ask, may I have some flip-flops or something beachy under my name? I'd like that...I'm lovin' the lobsters!! Thank you!

I would think that should be as easy as not going into the Just about anything goes forum.

Understandable. I don't use that feature anymore. I like to the see the post(s) before the current post to grasp the entire context therein.

It's just a whole lot quicker, for me, to go to the new posts, go to the last post, then scroll up 2 or 3 posts, if needed.

Well, on this board, that is possible. I forget that improved feature. On the old board, it showed the newest posts as posts instead of threads. I still just go through the forum and check by time. Some days it's easier than others. When I'm busy at work (aka the OM is in her office ready to spy at anytime), it's harder to remember the last actual time I was able to check posts.
