John S. Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 As we all get familiar with the new board features I found one that some may like.When you come back from a multi-day paring it would be good to know with a quick glance what threads have new postings and which don't. That is easy IF you have read every single thread on all the forums before you start your paring.But who has time to click on every single thread in all the forums?At the bottom left of this window you will see a "Mark Community Read" marker. Click on it and you will have the options of showing all the posts or threads as having been read.Now only new threads and threads with new posts will be highlighted and easy to see.You're welcome.PS What fun stuff have you found?

Kip Powick Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 When replying to a post you may find the tool bar at the top "greyed-out" which means you can not set up the posting with under-lines, emoticons, Bolding, etc.To awaken that tool bar....click on the furthest left ICON which is entitled "Toggle Editing Tool".... PS...emoticons show up outside the bottom of your pending post.You're welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Anyone find a "SPELL CHECK" ?I think the "help" function is a generic "help" function to this brand of it's many posting boards as many of the functions are not applicable to this board....but we will endure !!!!

Kip Powick Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I have spell check enabled in my IE9 and that works fine for reviewing my posts on this forum .....Yeh, I'm still with IE8 due to XPPro on the desktop. My new Netbook has Win7 and IE9 but I only use that when on the water or on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John S. Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Kip: What happens if I make a spelling error is that the word is underlined with a thick dotted RED lundeline. (<-Did it show just how?)I click on the word and options for a correct word are listed.Also, I did not have to 'turn on' my tool bar as it was already active, but a good tip for those who click it off by mistake.Also, seems to be a few more smilies than before - or is it just me? I like this little one: (Shall we call it ACPA Pilot in February?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Powick Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 FOR ADMIN/MODERATORS......... Is this the fiinished "renewal" of the board?? The reason I ask is that reference is made to warning bars and changing skin colors etc but I don't see any icons etc to do many of the things referred to in the HELP section. Presently my pages are basically tones of grey/pale blue..is that what everyone is seeing or does it make a difference with different browsers...IE 8 vs IE 9 Firefox etc???

Alt* Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hi Kip, here is a screen shot of mine on firefox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thanks for the shot...Mine is pretty much the same except I don't have a brown bar on the bottom.I cranked up Firefox and I get the same as my IE8/XPPro. I guess we can't change the "skin".I have to leave for awhile but will try Win7 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt* Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Ya, the brown bar is not included as this is my operating system status bar, using Ubuntu operating system as windows is just not good enough and its free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon The Loon Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 John: That particular smiley was there before. I used it a couple times! I took a few minutes to discover the little > to get the rest of them to show themselves. Overall, a very nice new "skin"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
