New format

Don,

Many thanks for your hard work. People as a rule don't like change. I for one see many benefits in the new structure.

We should also remember John Nebels contribution. Without John we would have nothing.

Yes , indeed ! Many Thanks !

There needs to be a "mark as read" button on the "new posts" page.

[Don McRitchie]

It's under "Quick Links" at the top of the "New Posts" page.

Don Mc,

Welcome to vB3 Don. I think you followed Audiokarma.org by only a month with your changeover. With around 3800 members, I've had my share of, shall we say, colorful emails and PM's. It takes a while to learn the new layout and, in general, get use to any change. It take even more time to learn the new Admin console and edit templates. We run two major hacks on AK that were a royal PITA to setup. The third for the PicturePost Gallery is still in process.

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

...Sure we are a bunch of pre computer generation stick in the muds that hate change so much we listen to speakers built 30-50 years ago, but that doesn't mean that we are wrong in our dislike of this "upgrade".

I must say that I am quite in this case, pre computer generation, listening speakers built 30 years ago, but:

I love real changes and not cosmetic ones as the look and feel of this new board,<O</O

I’m running XP with the look and feel of original Window NT (no blue plastic tool bars and so on),

Same for cosmetic changes with a girl (I'm single) and I love changing... but not for a change of cosmetics...

Don,

I'm adjusting, but I had to take a sedative the first day.

Well, what I found out, is that I am clumsy and lazy, after a day, I am adapting, and it is better.

[scott fitlin]

Whatever you did, the board seems much easier on my eyes now.

Don,

I must complain about sending PMs.

When you write it under Word and paste it in the PM, all the text is lost once it is sent.

This occurd twice and I even had a message informing me that there were too much smileys and I had to correct my PM...

This is abnormal as I never faced such a trouble with the previous board...

I tried the same with Note Pad and it works.

[Don McRitchie]

The problem is in embedded codes used in Word that are incompatible with the WYSIWG editor in VB. As you discovered, there is no problem from Wordpad or Write. If this is a major constraint, you can revert to the old style editor by clicking "User CP", "Edit Options", "Miscellaneous Options" and choose either "Basic Editor" or "Standard Editor"

[boputnam]

Hey, Birthday boy...!!

Since you're in such a generous mood, 'splain how we can switch-off the "confirm receipt" noise - it seems attached to every pm, and for the life of me I cannot discover where to remedy that.

Also, I tried to change my status to "Shameless One" on the urging of Dr. No , but nor can I actually do that. I don't see it under User CP / Edit Profile. Where...?

[Don McRitchie]

Try changing your user title now. That feature was somehow turned off after the move and should now show up under User CP/Edit Profile. The PM confirmation is strictly a function of whether the sender requests one. If the sender does, the pop-up is automatic and you have no control over it.

[scott fitlin]

I want to change the title under my name from senior member to something of my choosing! How do i do this?
