Technical Issues After August 13, 2012 Maintenance

    Motley

    Or it could mean, everyone now has Richhotrain to do their formatting for them?

    What if I want to Use Motley Formatting?

     

    It would repeat all the words. For example it would read "GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS".  LOL

    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.

    Holy Batman !

    I have about 6,567,894 replies in my personal email box.  Now I see what you mean, Tom.

    Turn that stupid "Email me replies to this post" thing off.

  • On a positive note, the number list option  (i.e. 1., 2., 3., etc.) is working once again.

  • 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.

    How do you quote others as you reply?

    Rich

    Click on Rich Formating at the bottom of the post and most all the old stuff is there.......  Quote is right above the response box and below the post you replied to.  This abomination has to be to be more friendly to people who no longer use computers but have their heads in  the "cloud" somewhere........

    Use Rich Formatting seems to be the answer to everything.

    What the heck does Use Rich Formatting mean anyhow?

    Rich Text Format (RTF) is a standardized way to encode various text formatting properties, such as bold characters and typefaces, as well as document formatting and structures. By saving a document in RTF, you can open the file in many word processors and other RTF-aware software packages with much of its formatting left intact. Many word processing programs will allow you to save a document in RTF when you select Save As... .

    See Microsoft Help and Support article 86999 for the RTF specification.

  • Yeah, change is a constant.

    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.

  • Well, it IS different, but like all the other format changes, we WILL adapt. It may take some time to get used to it, but we will get used to it.

     Then we will wonder how it was under the old format.

    Like the Borg say "resistance is futile, you WILL be assimilated"!!

    I kinda like it!

    Just my thoughts, ideas, opinions and experiences. Others may vary.

    After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

  • OK what happened to everyones post counts, join date, and locations?

    I may have spoken too soon. Now the new format sucks. LOL

  • My first impression was that the page template is so ............. 1999. It formats the columns very narrowly to a fixed width and doesn't take advantage of a modern 1280 pixels wide LCD. It would look great on my old CRT monitor though.

    Still dog slow in the middle of the day. Oh well, I guess that beggars can't be choosers.

    A little too much white space. Note the top and bottom margins of your post over the signature.

    Oh wait, this probably is to accomodate the iSheeple who Must Consume All Content on their mobile devices.

    Baaaaa.  Baaaaa.

  • I think it means, we got you again. Techies must be laughing over this.

    The Rich Text option was not obvious to me. I could not even reply to my own post.

    Rich

    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.

  • Hey, they did away with the number of posts/replies.

    Good, now I have one less thing to be concerned about.  LOL
