I wound up in the same window, but a new page with a tiny little box. I could see a quote button there, and a close button, but nothing else. Scrolling seemed pointless cuz it was too small to work with anyway.

After posting, you are returned to the 1st page of the thread, no matter how many pages there are.

It's different but cool. I'm sure we'll get used to it soon enough. The friends thing is a little creepy but I wasn't gonna say no to GuyB. Smile

I still wish that the threads you have looked at would be regular text...and the ones that you haven't would be bold...

this is the price we pay (or not) for technology. What gets me is it's so hard to get going on another board, boards are like communities and you just can't use the "dubya" technique of saying "it's all good" when it clearly isn't. the newness and all....ahhhhjhhhh!

The whole "will you be my friend" thing is kinda creepy. I never got into myspace so I guess that's the norm. I felt like I was back in the second grade.
I thought that was kinda creepy too

Could you make it so url's are automatically turned into links?

Also, after making a post it takes us back to the first page in the thread. Can you change so it brings us to the last post in the thread?

Can't deny it.

Hey, sigs (for people that had them on MD), got moved over with the rest of the MD content last night.

Also, note the pagination links (page 1, 2, etc.) that are now on the bottom of the forum. We're still tweaking stuff. Smile

I guess it's ok, another one of those if it works, leave it alone.

but if this board don't give error messages and lose posts, I can live with it.

Smile

of course going back to 1 friggin post is bullcrap

Is there a way I can use my MD account? It was the same screen name but different email addresses.

GuyB will you please change the post refresh so it goes to our post, or to the forum (like on Motodrive)?

How do we know which threads we've read and haven't read? And with that goes Mark this post as read, mark all posts read, etc. etc.

X2. The first unread post thing was really useful, as were indicators of how long a thread was, whether you had posted in it or not, etc.
