In progress now -- well, sort of.
Stuff posted between now and the final change might be lost - I'm not sure. The database in being converted while I type this.

Edit: Hey, I started a new thread! How did your post get to be first?
Geez, I had almost 700 posts here at APS? I sure didn't think I had that many.
Edit 2: Yep, I like this setup. Two other forums I belong to use this software, it's pretty nice for the end user.

370? I'm not a hero like cosine?
New setup looks good.

Edit to add: I don't like how it takes you back to the main forum after posting. I'd rather see it take you back to the thread.

Guess this new software shows where's home for a lot of us. I'll confess, this is the first forum I usually visit when I get on the web.

Anyone know what happened to fistful?
He's Joshua Bissey.

It appears he's Joshua Bissey now. I have no idea why his name changed like that.

What do you click on to get avatars etc? Are the smiley's not working for you either?
Post by: cosine on October 23, 2006, 05:20:01 PM
Cosine,
What do you click on to get avatars etc? Are the smiley's not working for you either?
Under "Profile," click "Forum Profile Information" on the left side of the page. You get three options there to show an avatar. Mine's hosted off-site, it didn't work when I tried to upload it directly to the forum.What do you click on to get avatars etc? Are the smiley's not working for you either?
Edit: Smilies aren't working for me either.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll wait till my grandson comes over and maybe he can show me what to do walk me through this stuff. heh.
Just poke around until something works.

Try the avatars and smileys now. Let's see where we stand.
Working. Quite a few of them disappeared though. And there's no winking smiley, we need a winking smiley!

On the minus side, Sindawe's avatar is going to give me nightmares... 
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.

GOOD! GOOD! //PalpatineWell, 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.

Correction, after posting it goes back to the main page instead of the thread I was in. Is it supposed to do that?
Post by: S. Williamson on October 23, 2006, 06:39:24 PM
Actually, I'm just seeing if my avatar works correctly.
I'm only a two-star member?
Post by: Vodka7 on October 23, 2006, 06:41:48 PM
(It's in Profile, then click Look and Layout Preferences, then select "Use quick reply on topic display: show, on by default")
Post by: grampster on October 23, 2006, 06:44:07 PM
Yep. Not as large as I'd like.

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

spinr, did you change your name? It doesn't sound familiar.
Post by: roo_ster on October 24, 2006, 09:59:32 AM
There doesn't seem to be anything in the user settings to change the number of threads & posts to view per page. Does this software allow for that option?

What spinr said, with bells on it.

I could say you used to be Blackburn, but I'll be nice and guess you're Mike Irwin in disguise.
Irwin? Gads, no! I'm not that far gone... yet.
Sorry Mike...
cosine got it. See the last post of page 4.
Not that I'm all that memorable, anyway.

I didn't think I would like the new look. I thought it was hard to read. Now that I'm used to it, I like it a lot. I've also changed my mind about avatars - I have them turned on now.

Given your comments early on in this thread, I just didn't get the impression you'd come around like this.
