I fear everyone using individual smileys...

I love smileys!    They are awesome.    Still haven't figured out how to do the old ones though.   To old to learn new technology.

Smileys aren't bad. But everyone using individual smileys... too much confusion.

I have no idea, what it's supposed to do. I mean, if you don't like the thread you don't post there, right?

This is the internet. It is never that simple.

Question - what do the stars at the upper right of a topic represent? How much people like the thread? How many people are in the thread? Fat grams? Calories?

It's thread rating, on a scale from 1 to 5. If you click a star, you rate the thread. It's a silly feature that's often more a popularity than usefulness thing. It has already been suggested that it be removed completely.

Is there a "jump to the first unread post" button I'm missing?

If there is, it isn't working. I half suspect the yellow documents indicating that a topic has new replies are meant to have this functionality but they don't -- not right now, anyway. That has also already been requested.

Well, right now you can't actually use the old system, which just parsed the message for smiley codes. The only way to use smileys right now is with the new system, which is just a direct link to the image. I explained earlier how to do this.

Seriously, you mean the link words? Hm....maybe I'll have to see what you mean next time I link.

A link...

p.s. SO mad @ Urgnu for not requesting to be my friend yet. *pouts*

Requesting a friend request, will be right there.

I usually don't do requests (as I say in my profile), I get requested...

What's a BBCode and what do I do with it once I catch it? Soak it in milk till tender?

Click the right button over the message box, and you'll see something familiar...

Nested quoting has been fixed, though it looks a bit weird when editing.

Wow, yeah.  I take it this is only temporary?

2) the "subscribe" button works pretty much exactly like the old "add to my topics"

I'm unable to find a list of public forum threads to which I have subscribed. There is also no list of such threads that contain new posts (like there is with group discussions). Email notifications are working fine. Is this on the todo list?

I cannot believe that you are against individual smileys. And here I thought I knew you...

YECH! If that's the case, I hope they remove it, too. Didn't we get enough of the popularity thing in high school? I don't need to feel like my threads are inferior or unpopular...
I don't really like the "hot topic" thingy either, for the same reason. What is the criteria for a hot topic? Views? Posts?

My documents all seem to turn white after I've visited the page. I would like it better if the ones I have not visited would stay yellow.

Post count. Not sure on the count, probably somewhere around 30 or 40. That, too, is a fairly useless feature.

I think they reset everytime you update a specific forum. Ideally they'd only reset either when you viewed a topic or you marked a forum as read (with functionality that isn't available).

Look at the top of a forum page, to the right of your portrait, to the right of the "search & go" box, there is a "Jump to" pull down with 4 options. Try those.

Sweet! Thanks.

My sentiments exactly.

Hello people, I am fairandbalanced. You may remember me for posting random stuff.

[Ciller]

I have only time to come here - check what has happend - post a bit and then get the hell out. 
Most of what I post may consititute as spam - the Old OT was spam tolerant but has built up an intollerance to it over the years.

I think that makes me akin to milk.

Anyway - Ill read the rest of the posts and see what I can do.  Have fun exploring teh social site.

Yes. Soon you'll realize it's just a different, larger aquarium.

With regards to all the forum layout talk, I made some suggestions, but my post with fancy pictures has already dropped to page 2. Harrumph. If you like, go check the thread and give your own feedback so the devs can make us a super amazing forum.

[Snoteye]

Your post raises many points I'd been meaning to cover. Unfortunately I'm stuck with these pesky exams I'm supposed to be preparing for and don't have time to go through the site and compile a list. >:|

The layout is something I'm getting use to. Also, I do not so much like this big grey empty background to the very left of these things. I think I'm use to reply-threads stretching the whole screen horizontally. Everything just sort of feels cramped to me for some reason.



Wonder if they'd consider outlaying the "What's New/Profile/My Content/Etc.." to the right of the Forum Pic and then the Ad to the right of that. So that all the other relevantant post commands would be unheeded by it. Egh.. I'll probably just need to get use to this.

[FieryDove]

I like the site very much. I don’t worry too much, I’ll just flail around arms waving until I fall or the PPPP catches me.

[Punahedan]

What I'm not used to is the new avatars that all look really similar. :3 I'm so used to everyone's sort of semi-permanent avatars that have a lot of color and stuff. Now there are only a handful of people that haven't attempted to claim something as close to their old avatar as possible.



The migration is difficult...I can't get used to this new stuff. And it's hard to keep track of things. But I'm sure I'll adjust soon.
