We can add new smileys, or whole smiley sets.

That's not a tonight thing, though.  Smiley

PM sent.

I finally have an avatar representative of how seriously most of my posts should be taken! Tongue On the minus side, Sindawe's avatar is going to give me nightmares...  laugh

EDIT: To those who want to be returned to the topic after a post like the old software, there is an option under preferences to do so.

Well, after trying it out this eve, I think the software change will be a good thing.  I REALLY like being able to have an avatar, and the additional text modification options are sweet.

Well, I'm still feeling my way through it. I haven't found anything broken yet. Just need to feel my way around to get used to how some things work.

Correction, after posting it goes back to the main page instead of the thread I was in. Is it supposed to do that?

Well, I haven't figured out how to switch the default number of posts per page from 10 to something more reasonable like 25, but the quick reply box is back!  Gotta love that Smiley  (It's in Profile, then click Look and Layout Preferences, then select "Use quick reply on topic display: show, on by default")

I wonder if I figured out how to load an avatar.

Yep.  Not as large as I'd like.

Go to Profile, Look and Layout Preferences, put a check next to "Return to topics after posting by default"

Not sure that I care to know how many posts I've made. But really fistful, over 3,000? Dedication to the cause.
I do not like, when with me play, and I think that you also

J/K...

NICE JOB GUYS!

I'm a little surprised at my post amount too. I think me and fistful should be SUPER Hero members.  rolleyes

It doesn't seem to be adding to them right now though. And I got double smileys...

This IS pretty much the only place I post, THR occasionally but not that much anymore since I found this board. I try to strictly adhere to the rules over there these days to help keep the clutter down.
