April 2018 Forum Upgrade

[quincy]

I want to thank Woody for all of the work that went into the changes on the forum.

I DO notice what could be a major problem in the future, though, but I will send a private email so evil-doers don't get any ideas.

I like the prominence of the IMPORTANT NOTICE at the bottom of the page, by the way. Maybe new posters will actually read it.

I've had more than one instance where a post that was edited by another user never showed up as edited. The first instance I didn't think much of it...but when it happens a second time, it starts looking like a glitch

Extremely doubtful!

At least it's there for us to point out now

Any chance of getting a quote button on the toolbar? When I quote text from sources I have to use the quote tags. It's a bit time consuming like it was using the img tags for links.

Are you talking about the quote tags that are located under the three dots/down arrow on the reply toolbar?

Could you post a link to the specific thread, post, or user? That will help us track it down. Thanks

When you click 'reply', it should automatically include the relevant quoted text. Also, in the edit window, there should be an icon with 3 dots and a dropdown arrow. The dropdown menu includes the quote function.

I'm confirming with stealth2 to make sure I understood her correctly - I don't want to send you on a wild goose chase.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Smacking my head with a two by four.

stealth2 changed her post from what is currently showing ("So..... kiddo needs the structure and stability he had as a 2yo? When he's used to the schedule YOU agreed to for 5 years?") to something else. Unfortunately, she can't remember what the change was.

Oh, no, we reserve the use of the clue by four.

The avatar color scheme is hilarious. A big initial and a different color for each person. Is there any way to edit our avatars with our own photo or, at least, change our color.

It isn't easy being green.

Just got back from being out of town for over a week, and found the new design quite a surprise. Certainly it is very colorful. I'll not complain about my color, though, as purple is my favorite.

And it looks like they finally enabled font sizes, so maybe I can now use that font I've used for so long on other forums. Going to test that with this post!

Glad to see your font is back. Hardly recognized you without it.

I kind of like the purple-T avatar. The artist formerly known as TaxingMatters.
