Actually I still don't see the time of my prior post until I'm on the reply page. Just viewing the thread, all I see is something like "1 Minute Ago".
....or edit my post

Not as imminently important... but I also would prefer more vivid, not-so-pastel colors...
...also less-white space. IIRC, the former forum had a very light blue cast background. It don't have to be a blue cast, but something not so white (Well, I'd prefer not a shade of gray either)

If you can post it to one of the sites below I guess you could
Hulu
YouTube
Vimeo
Dailymotion
Metacafe
No need to worry. There are no hacks here.

I like the fact in settings I can change the amount of post per page, I set mine at 40 and even though there are over 100 post in this thread its still only 3 pages long, no more loosing post on the next page YEA!!!!! maybe allowing up to 100 post per page would be even better, I used 500 per page in one forum I was admin for, it was great. the only thing is if you have a slow connection or server speed it will take longer to load the page, so a selection is still needed for those who have slow connections, but with some of us who have high speed connections and fast computers it would be nice to option out of pages or have a high limit of post per page, maybe even up to 500 post per page limit option.

Another question, will this new upgrade allow .XML file uploads without embedding into word? the last software didn't and some of us use and share allot of .XML files on here?
The previous version had the posts-per-page option... and I had mine set at 40. :-?

Wow I must have missed that setting before
, with a Quadcore Exstream and dual SLI 9800 GTX video cards, along with a 30 meg comcast connection, having pageing makes it slow to view the whole thread
Maybe I am getting old, but I agree. :grin:
The pages are too dense with text.
Maybe if the font was larger for the titles of the posts, it would be easier to read.

I am feeling real comfortable with this. Took a little getting use to but that got a lot of the kinks out.

Can you only edit your last post? I only see the edit icon when I have replied or posted new? I didn't see the icon in the other format either.

Bill there is a time limit on this forum to edit your post. It is about 5 minutes , I believe, but not sure.

Well I'm sure I'll get used do it. Skimming this thread I noticed how many different ways to use the old forum, guess I'll learn the tricks to this one after its been changed. Just like a new celphone.

One of the things that bother me before was having to scroll back to the top to get to the new post button-- or use go to the bottom and hit the "Top" button.
I never thought about it but Bob gave me the idea of making a bookmark on my browser bar that goes directly to "Todays Post". This way I don't have to scroll up just click at the top of the browser and I am where I want to be.
