I hope you are all settling into the new boards, there are a lot of new features to enjoy, so browse around and see what there is to see.

My only gripe is the sys lacks a "Last days post" or "last three days posts" search option. But if that is my only gripe... takes a little time to get used to the changes but I do believe I appreciate the new board sys, it's easier to search for related threads and I prefer the look of it.

Just my two cents

if you click on search and then advanced search you shoudl see what you are looking for, you can search posts from yesterday or last year if you want

Ami,

Will the 'Quick Reply' option be available. Or HTML or other text options be available to the postings? If they are I cannot find them.

Also, if you like you can change your personal post editor by going into UserCP and open "Edit Options" and scroll to the bottom, you'll see Message Editor Interface with three choices. The basic editor has a simple interface, the standard editor is a lot like the old discus editor, and the WYSIWYG editor works like MS Word, or any other word processor, it's pretty nifty.

However, not all of these interfaces will work with every browser, choose the right one for you!

Mike and Ami,

I REALLY like the new board look! And the options are just amazing! Thanks for putting in such hard work to make this great board even better.

Now, a couple of things (you didn't think you were getting off THAT easy, did you?).

I notice that ****'s show up in certain words. Censor of some kind?

Also, is there any way to print off single pages or one desired posts for reference?

And is there a spell checker that I am not aware of?

Thanks,
Unionblue

Yes, there is a censor, and sometimes it catches words it shouldn't. If you find a word that gets censored and you believe it shouldn't be, please email the word to me, and I can adjust the filter.

On printing, go to "Thread Tools" and switch to printable version. However I don't know if you can print just one single post, just parts of a thread. I'll look into it and see if there is any other way...

Finally, yes, there is a spell checker but it's not working properly yet, I'm not sure if I installed it wrong, or if it has a bug in it, I'm still working on that.
