Post by: Texman11 on January 12, 2002, 08:45:35 AM

Well, now this is different!  Gonna take a little getting used to.
(I don't handle change well)  but as with all things, I will adapt!
Good to see new things.

I kind of like the change but just as I was getting used to the little things on the other one; now I have to do the same to this one.

How do you tell if you've already read a thread?  The hypertext doesn't change color.  What's the trick?

From what I have noticed so far, once you read a thread, when further messages are posted to it, you get the down arrow to the left of the subject.... clicking this takes you to the next unread message in that thread..... hope this makes sense....  :)

It is not the down arrow, it is the little envelope symbol to the left of it that changes to indicate whether or not you have read a post before.

Agreed the envelope changes if you have read a thread, but the down-arrow indicates when more posts have been added since the last time you read it, so that you can go straight to the new messages without wondering how far down you got last time.  :)

Another thing I have just noticed is that a black dot appears on the envelope of any thread you have posted to..... impressive....  :)

Well, this new board still sucks :), but I've
gotta admit it's a hell of a lot better than the
old UBB boards.

I especally like the option to only show a link to
pictures, instead of automatically loading the
pictures themselves.

Now if HTC will just use the link Exile posted to
mirror these boards on a real newsserver, I would
be pleased to no end.
