Hey everyone,

How do you like the new forums? I see plus and minuses here and there, but overall I'm very happy with it. So let's celebrate! And just like any momentous occasion such as New Year's, a major resolution, or victory, I'm going to kiss the nearest person.

Still getting used to all the new forum stuff.

And, grats to Crestent! You lucky monkey.

Pluses:
- We can have images in our posts.

Negatives:
- Threads are no longer highlighted when there are new responses.
- No way to respond to specific messages in a thread.
- No longer able to click on a thread title and be taken to the last read message.
- No way to include links with a link title.

Overall - Meh. I like the old format better.

In rough order...

- They technically are, but just by a bolded/not bold font which can be sort of hard to pick up on.

- Not sure what you mean by that, but now you have to Quick Reply off of specific posts, which sort of annoys me but sort of compensates for that a bit.

- There's a downward arrow to the left of each thread title that will do exactly that, dear sir.

- Haven't linked anything yet, but I'm sure that's mildly disappointing. Then again, my sig-line still seems to work. So not sure what's going on there.

There are some already, but they're all two clicks away and costs $2.99 per minute.

I believe you can, actually still put a link title in - but, you have to enter it all manually (there isn't the old "URL" dialog that steps you through it). The syntax is still the same, tho.

And yeah - there's still the "Quote" and Reply" buttons in each post, so you oughta be able to specifically reply to any particular post you want.

The syntax/code is on the BB code page that's linked at the bottom of most every page of these new forums. That's one of the few minor drawbacks of the new forums, it doesn't have click and insert the code for you links any more. Still, the bb code. smilies and IMG reference pages down there make up for that.

Also, you can multi-quote.

This changes your post box into something more like what the old forums had, though of course not exactly, so there's still stuff to get used to. But it has a URL button and etc.

My thanks to you both! I give you my personal award for most helpful posts of the week!

It automatically parses links so that they become hot links. This is a very popular system and I've used it elsewhere. I miss being able to run an entire thread, but that is just a quirk I'll miss. Other than that live images are tasty and I like looking at folk's sigs.
