What Happened?

[ryan_618]

George, I told you you weren't permitted to have an avatar :evil:

 

[George Stolz]

You know, now I'm much more relieved about the whole neck biting incident... :lol:

 

[George Stolz]

Did you know that if your browser unexpectedly quits upon loading the first screen, then you logged on long enough to clear the days posts?

I just found that out.

 

[ryan_618]

It's funny, I haven't had any problems since I posted that.

 

[g3guy]

In the good old days with FPE and no GFI. :mrgreen:

Lookin Good

Certain areas have type that is a bit hard on my old eyes, but the general forum looks great. I like the enhancements like being easier to make somethink bold for example. I must confess though. I worry about a lot of people using VERY LARGE fonts in their posts. I've seen it on other forums...it's not pretty.

I'll poke around and see what else is better now.

Oh, I havent had a chance to look, but is there a way to search by USERNAME now instead of Member ID#. It used to be a pain to look up the number (even mine) when trying to do a search.

Thanks fo r the nice improvements.

Re: Feature Update

Charlie, if you are in a WIntel machine, use File Explorer to locate the picture, then right click to open a menue of choices.

That worked, Al. Thanks.

You're welcome, Charlie.

Looking above, to Ryan, I have to ask "What strings were pulled to get that avatar to install?"

It's a linked avatar which apparently does not need to conform to the 80x80 6kb limits. Could be a problem with others so we'll have to keep an eye on it.

Webmaster Joe,

Thankyou for the work you are doing.

A large number of the links have been re-established. 8)

Is it possible to re-assign the URL links under a verbal description? Especially the ones that are in one post, referencing another post or thread with an "old forum" address?

Case in point is here. Note the links in the three bullet points (AFCI Confusion, Location of Arch Faults, and Bedroom, Panel, Arc-Fault).

Al is jealous of my avatar

I just want to know if you are the penguin getting pushed into the water, or if you are the one doing the pushing. :lol:

It depends on the day, my friend. Today, I am breaking the ice

Tiny fonts are OK though? :lol: :shock:

That's a tough one because the post numbers are all different due to the conversion. I may have to allow read only linking to old forum posts but let me take a closer look at this situation. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Webmaster Joe,

Good fortune in effecting a solution.

As it stands now, from my side of the screen, when I click on one of the links that include the "old forum" addresses, I get automatically re-directed to the new forum home, and I have no way of really knowing the subject of the poster's reference in providing that link.

For my own edification, I used the new forum search tool, but it is cumbersome, at best, even when I'm looking for my own links where I can remember the thread I was linking to. . .but, the search tool is impossible to use fruitfully if the link is someone else's, or I've forgotten my own reference.

Hey, I found Bob's avatar!

Or, there's the whole "forum mom" route...

:lol:
