good point about the spoilers, cloudsylph, the reverse order would definitely require alot of up,down,back and forth

OK, I asked for someone to change my mind, and I that has happened.
My concerns about the message thing have been allayed by the helpful explanations of what it does & is used for. Everyone who mentioned ICQ, e-mail whathaveyou, you are absolutely right.

Looks like my other main concern (reverse order of posts) can also be easily fixed, so thumbs down changes to thumbs up!

See, I'm not stuck in my ways, oh no! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

OH yeah! That thats the default color scheme. We'll use our for sure.
The 'Stars' mod isn't in the same way in 6, it's like a 'rate this user' type thing... dunno if I like that yet.. ??

All of those are (FINALLY) options you can turn on or off. I agree, that rank thing is dumb, I'd just replace it with my stars mod, and that posting order can be switched easily too. LOTS of stuff those huh!? http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Ziroc

Hehe, yeah, me either, WAY to 'vanalla'.

No no no.. remember I said it was a 'fresh install' meaning no chaning around anything. what you see is what THIS forum looked like when it was first installed. (yech) http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif, yep, all the colors and stuff will look like this forum, down to the ironworks logos.

I guess they leave it 'bland' because they know others will change it, and rightfully so--UGLY! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

I am just passing by to say that, alas, I won't find enough time to test the new Board sufficiently to get a valuable opinion, but I am very interested by all you say about it and will lurk in this thread for sure. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Hey JJ- seems that Memnoch says it's reversible so maybe that won't be a problem?

Ziroc, once again, thank you very much for your tireless effort to improve the board. <smile.gif>

But, things I do not like:
1. the rating system
2. the inverse order of the posts
3. the new autoformating features are cool, but why can I only use them at the very end ? whenever I go back to insert a new paragraph or smiley, the autofeatures will stubbornly force me back to the very end of the post. <mad.gif>
4. The current software allows to load the editing window with posts posted by others. That is a great educational tool, because that way you could just check how others had done a formatting, smiley, etc you wanted to use yourself. The new software won't allow that.

How does the private messaging system work ? Where do they show up on the addressee's end ? Do you need to have special software installed ? Forgive me, I completely ingnorant with respect to these things.
