    1. Is it possible to have the "EMAIL ME REPLIES TO THIS POST" check box un-checked as the default rather than the other way around?  I prefer not have reply notices sent to my e-mail address if I forget to un-check the box.  There also doesn't appear to be a way to change that in edit mode once you've posted.
    2. Is it possible to have the Use rich formatting option as the default?  It is for a new post but not for a reply.
    3. It would be nice if I could delete a post once it's posted.  Currently, all I can do is edit it.
    4. Thanks for making the numbering format available again. Big Smile

    Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.

  • It's just fine.  As Murray said, the larger font is good for tired eyes, too.  The colors also brighten the look.

    I liked the old Your Discussions tab much better.  It grouped all of my Discussions together regardless of which forum the thread was located on.  Under this awful new fomat, Your Discussions is grouped under each forum.  Now I have to look around ten times instead of once.

    But, that just shows my replies to threads.

    Your Discussions shows others replies to threads that I have participated in.

    Whereas all of those other replies used to appear under Your Discussions, no matter which forum, now Your Discussions is grouped per forum instead of all in one place.

  • I like it. The larger font makes it easier for older folks to read it.

    Some will want to know.

    Yeah, but why do I have to click on Use Rich Formatting to post a photo or add a smiley face?

    Why isn't it all transparent like it was before?

    And, techies, please, uncheck that "Email Me Replies to this Post" box before my AOL account explodes.

  • They must have hired the Yahoo's from Yahoo Groups who came up with a similar format for the Group Digests which is impossible to read on one screen and now have to be read on multiple screens to follow one simple conversation.

    Also, the old forum was slow, this one moves like molassas in January in Alaska!

    Rick J My 2 Cents

    Rule 1: This is my railroad.

    Rule 2: I make the rules.

    Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

    If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

  • The question that begs asking, why did they not do this automatically?

    I don't care what Rich Text Formating means. It just works.
