i don't really know how to describe the feeling but i'll give examples, but the new layout to me makes it feel tiring being on for too long.
1. there is the top menu, then a big add between that and the next part, a big ad between the bottom and where you reply, then on the right column you either have 2 ads on top or some type of summary, then ad, then either related posts or other areas.
there are no borders, the adds have the same color and text type but larger font, and it all seems chaotically merged into one thing where you need to constantly sort out what you are viewing.
While I am loving a lot of the new features, I also miss the threads, when I click on a particular forum from home page, the mix of old and new is nice and exasperating at the same time. So finding an old thread is available from search but if I know how long ago it was I could just jump back a few pages of threads and be pretty sure to find it quickly.
I have found interesting old threads but it is a crap-shoot.
first of all, some apologies - i had planned to spend the last couple of days getting everyone signed in to the new site and sorting account issues out but i wasn't getting over the flu as i thought, i got worse.
i've probably had 4 hours sleep in the last few days.
anything that requires too much thinking isn't going to happen right now.
missing a lot of the oldies and goodies -- is this site so new, no one has signed on yet?
i am confused... but then, i will have to wait and see what happens.. somehow - change is not the best option but we adjust..have most of the users gone to other locations?.
tl.
Like Magnum said, till we get a FAQ on how things work it will be slow going for some things.
BUT I was able to change my avatar and I do like the look of it. Thank you Simon!
the time has nearly come to switch over to the new forum software.
of course it's not completely finished yet (and never will be) but i think it's good enough to go live with and probably already better than the current one.
i'll give you a quick overview of what to expect and post more detail about the changeover process later.. cloud platform.
I really would like to return to my reading of the archives... I had started on active topics and worked from page 4 or 5 to somewhere in the 300's. Is there a easy way to get this done? I know that it should be possible.
Technology is wonderful, but I do need detailed instructions. FAQ's, whatever I am doing now is not working.
i've been looking for ways to change mine, but i haven't found the way.
can anyone help??.
thanks.. .
Click your name at the top of the page, it goes to your profile page... Which you can now enter info about yourself. About halfway down is the option to change the avatar. You can do this!
she's not even american and doesn't live in the usa so it's not even her area of political awareness really.
she seems convinced that obama is the prophesied wolf in sheep's clothing mentioned in revelation.. it's unusual for non-us dubs to hold the weirder beliefs, so this is a new one for me.
she also said that the end is very close now and that things are a foot with north korea; it's clearly the king of the north.. she said exactly the same thing 5 years ago about china, and exactly the same thing 10 years ago about iraq.. derp derp..
ive not seen him on this new site--or do i need new specs.?
its usually hard to miss the old bugger
Good to see ya! Where's Muttly?
i read through the suggestion box and haven't seen anyone recomend this yet: is it possilbe to add a "like" button for posts and comments?
maybe something that keeps count of them like on youtube.
i think it would be a great tool to let people know we appreciate their comments.. i know we have the thumbs up icon we can paste in our comments but its hard to "like" someones elses comment when the thread is already 30 comments deep.. (feel free to thumbs up if this is a feature you'd like to see).
hi guys.
since the website has a new look, i thought why not me too.. i have a new perspective on my beliefs and now my looks.. tell me what you think.
i am not the gb so you can say what you really think, ok!!
Changing avatars is easy, click on your name at the top of the page; it goes to the profile page you can write a bit and do the avatar (using Gravatar or your own download)
Love your new look Awake at Last! Mine is a quilt close-up, that I took a picture of at a quilt show.
it is wonderful how the apostate community is moving on.
oh how blessed we are.
we now need a monthly broadcast from simon.
