We're baaaaaack!

Whew…

Okay, I think everything should currently be working in this forum and in Dressage. There might be a few quirks here and there (I’ve already noticed that the members’ post totals aren’t right… I’ll work on that), but I think things are reasonably functional.

Make sure to check out your profile for some fun new options. Have fun with the new toys!

(And don’t ask me how to use anything, because chances are, I’m in the same boat you are!)

Oh thank god. I don’t think I could have taken anoter day with out the BB.

You should now be able to upload any file (.gif, .jpg, or text, I think) you have on your computer to this server. Just check the little box for “attachment” when you post your message, and then follow the upload instructions.

The attachments will appear as an icon on your post, so people who want to see the file can click on it, and those who don’t want to see it won’t be bogged down in their surfing by excess photos.

At least, I think that’s how it works… haven’t tried it yet.

It would be easier to give up my right arm then have this site down! It looks great!

Geez I can’t figure out how to highlight someone else’s post!!!

Erin I was going to say in answer to who’s going to try the poll - who else but COLIN!

This is really neat - I feel like gotten a new car and I’m driving it for the first time - thanks!!!

Oh s*** I just figured out the quote thing - it would help if I scrolled a little further down the page huh? Love that instant UBB code thing.

Wow you all did it!! Bless you. So as we muddle thru this will be GREAT fun!!!

Hello hello hello. Happy days are here again!

It was horrible without COTH BB’s. I actually studied for my final (which, incidentally, I still did badly on).

Erin, I just wanted to let you know that I really like the page numbers on the main page so you don’t have to open the main thread to get to, say, page three. I hope you can get that back.

Very cool, Erin…

Two questions: is there going to be a spell check feature?

And, can you really set up poll questions??? That could definitely be fun.

I love the instant smilies and UBB code, so much easier! Thanks again to you and Melinda for all your hard work getting this up and running!!

** I saw sleepy’s poll after writing this – what a neat new feature.

Oh boy, since I am one who is constantly editing after I post, it is nice to see that we don’t get that embarrassing “editted” message any more.

Where are our moderator titles, have we been demoted and don’t know it? Ohhhhh, I could go back to being eeeevilllll, right along with Portia.

yipppeeeeee!!!

It definitely should be there. If it doesn’t show up when the software is finished importing threads, I will go bug the Open Topic people!

Now, who is going to be brave and figure out how to do a poll?

Having accomplished so much work in the last couple of days it looks like I will have plenty of time to explore the new format.

Looks like too much fun to me .

OK, I’m glad to see the board is back up and running … but this might take me a while to figure out! I especially miss being able to reply to an individual quote … hopefully that may be an option again someday?

Erin, did you say the user names can be changed? Uh oh … I can already see Colin now!

Very nice! Can’t wait to try some of the new toys And, you made the transition soooo much smoother than that other BB that shall remain nameless!

I checked at the beginning of study period and it wasn’t up yet and now it IS thank god or what would I have done in study hall? Now I all I gotta do is figure out how all this new stuff works…

THANK YOU ERIN!!!

Thank god!!!

Well, apparently they are not currently offering spellcheck with this software. Oops… oh well. Do the polls make up for it?

The one nice thing about this software, though, is that it will be continually updated as features are added. The whole board and the software are hosted on the Infopop servers, so as soon as they implement software changes, they’ll show up here. This also means no more crashes!

All the forums should now be open for business. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask.

Erin, is there any easy way to get back to the main H/J menu after posting to a message? It seems like you can either click on “forum home” (which takes you back to the listing of ALL the forums), or you can do the next oldest/next newest topic thing. How can you get back to just the H/J menu? Anyone? Anyone?
