Forum Upgrade

[Grim Reaper 183]

I've upgraded the forum software to the latest version of IPB. I guess there's some new features etc. in here somewhere - not sure what they are.

 

Also looks like I need to do a bit of tinkering with page headers and footers etc.

I lost my photograph, avatar seems OK.

Just trying a post to see if everything else is OK

Very nice. Should be fun tinkering with new buttons & gizmo thingy's

The 'Last Visitors' section in your profile lets you know exactly who your stalkers are

[Guest Guest_Monoclinic_*]

Fantastic, a spell checker. That should keep the kids educated.

[Vinegar Tits 586]

Shouldn't that be RIP.Board?

Ah! Very good VT, I like it

Good god! There's now a "rate me" option in our profiles!

[CarolAnn 924]

I like, I like - I'm not to sure about the "Rate Me" thing, but it could be fun.

Very good looking upgrade, your time and effort are appreciated, by the west cumbrian contingent anyway.

I dont like it.Why do we have to waste time punchhing in a code before posting anything.Whats the point of that?Its putting me off from posting.

I love it, not merely for the aesthetic improvement! Last night I was able to get into Deathlist chat for the first time since January, albeit in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. Anyhow, I guess that's good news for me and bad for most others.

If you were a registered user then you wouldn't have to punch in a code.

 

I'm guessing you didn't notice the spell checker either. Might have alerted you to the space bar (you know the really long key at the bottom of the keyboard).

You don't.

One question. How do you change your sig?

go to "my controls" - "personal profile" and then "edit signature"

That would make sense.

it's the same as it was before.

the one thing that confuses me is why the "quote" button is still there even though it doesn't work.

I did it a different way before.

There was an option at the bottom of the page.

Chat's runnin' fine on the new upgrade, just been in and tested it. Where were you all, it was just me and Lord Lucan.

well there was a way to reply to the thread in just doing a new post, but if you wanted to automatically quote the previous person or an earlier one you'd select "quote" at the bottom of their post and your new post would include all that.

Now doesn't do anything apart from take you to the top of the page

Well, if that's the case - my mind's made up - if it stops Iain from posting, this forum upgrade is the best thing ever to happen to the Deathlist.
