Kip Powick Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Morning all.....I thought this might be a good thread instead of everyone starting to discuss possible issues with the new set-up. I am sure as time passes we will all be come as familiar with this board as we did with the old.My thanks to Admin and trust you will have patience with all of us.This will be basically a question and answer thread with respect to the new board.Have a nice weekend.

Moon The Loon Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hi guys: I made an edit to a post below and all the html formatting disappeared replaced with html text. Is there a way around that? Otherwise, aside from getting used to the new format, I offer my continued thanks to the owners and moderators of this most excellent Canadian forum!

manwest Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I can see the new "Blog" feature as being handy. Some of us might want to start a blog on their favorite subject, for example......One titled "I am always right" might fit one of our members. LOL right on the mark lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo32a Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Is it just my display or is this a lot bigger display. It seems like there is a lot of "dead space" around each entry.Instead of being 3/4 inch display it is like 1 1/2 inches for each reply. Is there a way to compact it a little?

J.O. Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hey Admin!I like the new look. Change is good once in a while and I've been patiently waiting for an "Ignore" feature on this board for years.Thanks!Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.O. Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 One thing I have noticed is that the "Back" feature in IE does not work when you are inside a forum thread. You need to use the buttons to navigate through the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon The Loon Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Howdy again: My question above hasn't been answered yet. I had made a post with some quotes, bold and underlines and the original post looked as I hoped. I needed to edit the post and after re-submitting, all the formatting disappeared leaving only the html instructions (or whatever they're called). Any ideas? Otherwise, great work with the new format. What a difference from the board of the late 1990's, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to use the buttons to navigate through the forum.Using IE 8, Jeff, and the "Back" button works OK for me. I can move between pages in a thread as well as all the way back to the "topic" page just by using the "Back" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccairspace Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 What does the little sticky note on the folder (to the left of the topic list) mean?I tried to include a picture of this icon, but I still have a hard time with that function. (Not much changes over the years... ) And it isn't a "sticky note", it is a paper-clipped note. I am however, going to play with the fonts and colours!ccairspace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Cronin Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 You will find the answer to your question at the bottom of the topic page. No Malcolm... it isn't. CCA There are two separate little hoodoo's you will see there (in addition to the icons Malcolm is talking about) One indicates the thread has posts you haven't yet read, and one (I think superimposed on the thread's icon) indicates a thread you have posted within.I think likely it's the little one indicating unread posts within a thread you were asking about?Cheers,Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fills my entire screen on my laptop.Any chance that your CONTROL PANEL> DISPLAY>SETTINGS got changed somehow? Is it just the forum??. If everything was OK yesterday, then do a SYSTEM RESTORE from yesterday and re-log in.If you are using a Mac...well too bad for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 FRIENDS???????Well it is certainly gratifying to find that I do have some Friends on this forum, I do wonder what the purpose of that feature is. Having a bunch of friends listed is sorta like FACEBOOK/MY SPACE and any other social network...which I avoid like the plague.....As well I don't really want to "remove" any friends, (because they "befriended me before I befriended them and that would be very embarassing), but I am at a loss as to how one picks friends when most members use a "handle" and I have never met many of the members.Regardless....I will take all the friends I can get but excuse me if I don't return the favour as I really don't see the purpose of that feature on this forum......No nudging now ...(wink-wink) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
