Dan Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 No friends here, either. I just don't get the point. I think it's just the myspace/facebook-ification of the web. it is the membership level based on number of posts. Don't use the friend feature myself, but I guess it helps track content of certain people. Nice, mulitquote works! Yeah that's kinda what I thought. Maybe if more people liked us, it'd be a more important feature. Although you got alot more buffalo's than me, Dean. Now I feel inferior.
Beerball Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Not only that, it is a MAJOR security issue right now. Your work IT guys must not be keeping up, Beersphere. Eh...I went ahead and downloaded 7. We'll see if I get a call from IT tomorrow.
The Dean Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Eh...I went ahead and downloaded 7. We'll see if I get a call from IT tomorrow. You'd be better off with Firefox or Google Chrome, IMO. But IE7 is definitely an improvement.
Wooderson Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 It will take some time to get used to, but I'm already starting to enjoy the new format. Thanks!
The Dean Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Although you got alot more buffalo's than me, Dean. Now I feel inferior. Excellent! My plan to flood the board with worthless posts to be superior is working.
Dan Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 I'm a proud user of Netscape Navigator as my primary browser. Take that IT guys!

Dan Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Dude? Yep. 'cause that's how I roll. I got away from it for years (of course), but when they came out with final release -version 9. I switched back briefly, because my first web browser was Netscape 0.9b. Then I said, WTH, let's just keep using it. Almost 2years later... it's still rockin strong. Altough I switch to Firefox more frequently.
bbb Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 I still use Netscape as my email client. I probably should do something about that, but then I'd lose all my old emails!
bbb Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 With regards to the Shoutbox... I will most likely add an integrated chat room that logs you in just like the board does. That would make the shoutbox sort of superfluous, although I could be convinced to retain it if presented with a rational argument. I can make some arguments on why not to bring it back....
Mr. WEO Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 When searching specific phrases or paraphrased quotes, the results just list the topics that match, not the individual posts. Am I doing it wrong?
Beerball Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Tip: to send a PM to someone - there is this microscopic green box with a little arrow by their name - click on that and a little pop up window shows. Select the icon that looks like an envelope. When I'm in a thread I also see a larger envelope below the 'charging buffalo' that goes directly to PM.
Booster4324 Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 When I'm in a thread I also see a larger envelope below the 'charging buffalo' that goes directly to PM. Yeesh, while playing with the option I almost accidentally added you as a friend. I call that a bug.
The Dean Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 When searching specific phrases or paraphrased quotes, the results just list the topics that match, not the individual posts. Am I doing it wrong? To get the results as posts and not topics, you have to use the advanced search function, and choose to have the results as posts. The advanced search option is to the right of the red magnifying glass. It looks like a gear, or a "configuration" icon.
The Poojer Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) one minor question, unless i am overlooking it, but how do we go to the last post in a thread? when I click on the name of the last poster, it just goes to his/her profile? never mind...i failed to see the time/date was a hyperlink....got it now Edited August 22, 2010 by The Poojer
bbb Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 A minor question from me..........I just started using the email notifications a few weeks ago - when somebody replies to a thread that I posted on. It would send me one email per visit. Now, I just got about 8 different ones when all you asshats replied to this thread...Is there any way to get it back to the other way. I checked my settings and can't see it.
