New Bulletin Board Questions or Issues

[Skuzzy]

In order to better answer questions about the new board, this thread has been started.  We will endeavor to answer any questions you have.

Is there a way to not have pictures load up automatically like there used to be?  It is a handy feature for when you want to browse at work.

[Skuzzy]

It appears you can only hide avatars and signatures.

I presume you are talking about hiding images in posts?  I'll have to dig around.

Skuzzy,

I have hide email address enabled, but I see both mine and other peoples when I scroll over the icons on the left (under the avatar).  Is this because I'm a limited moderator on one of the sub-boards?

Also -- for the sub-board where are the moderator tools I used to have?

We lost our private messages I assume... thats kind of a bummer, I kept some around to remind me of things.

but we have some neat new features

neato

welcome to the new board!

hmmm signatures not working right <EDIT> my old sig was 4 lines, a max of 5 allowed, I reduced the size too, but now with the 300 char limit you can't waste characters using code like [size] or [color]

no smilies yet either huh?

im having trouble posting in my squad forum there is no "new thread" option for me

I too appear to only have read access to the squad forums, and the Axis forums.

Hide Email Addresses doesn't seem to work. Curious, why the changes?

[JB73]

I too appear to only have read access to the squad forums, and the Axis forums.

I'm betting it is a forum setting where the moderator of your forum has to go in and allow replies and such.


thats just a guess though.




Skuzzy another thought: I really liked how we could choose how many replies to show per page and stuff... I chose the max 50, it was much easier to read a 2 page thread than a 3-4 page one with only 20 replies per.

Working on the squad things.

I'll check into why the email is not hiding.  It should be.

evenhaim,..what is the squad name on the board?

[hubsonfire]

I'm in two private forums, and you can't post in either one. There are only two options- Mark Unread, or Print. Neat fluff though.

Is the fluff all turned off or something? I see these annoying marquee posts, but nothing else seems to work.

[evenhaim]

both squad and my private forum

[JB73]

testing a theory...

[JanneK]
