OT: ✦d: ABC FAMILY: Things I LIKE about the new forums.
Posted Thu, 08/28/2008 - 19:31 — dawn4scifi1) I LOVE 
LOVE LOVE having a forum for the Search for 781229!!!
2) I like these stripes. They separate things nicely.
3) No more stupid Error message 59.....
4) I like that there are more threads on one page, and as a result, less pages.
5) SMILEYS!
6) The new search function!
I like the original topic sticky, and that the "new" posts follow this. It is nice not having to go to the end of the thread to read what is newly added.

I like how easy it is to change our sigs and avitars.

I wish we could post images, but I like the internal links.
Also like the way they laid the rules out in writing.

may be problematic.
Smileys are good. I've seen boards where images are posted. It's a nightmare to navigate. The visual clutter is probably why avatars can only be 60 x 60 pixels.
EDIT: Positive spin. I like the avatars limited size. I also like image free posting.
Double post. Now if only it would save faster so I do not double post, thinking it did not "take." This is probably just my computer though.

an excellent resource to address problems for the improvement of our community. and thanks for responding to our requests!
ALSO cool: shortcuts to the previous and next posts while in a thread.

The Tech Support forum was a great idea. It's nice to have a place to write up oddities and see if anyone else has the same problems.
I really like the one-line "cheat sheet" of formatting codes that appears when you're typing a post.

....Occasionally we actually get to talk to the moderator, Danielle and the person in charge of this migration. We are getting questions answered (except for the ones about poor Thrasher, etc. .... Grin!)

I do NOT like being forced to preview all my replies. We don't have to do it on the blog comments and we don't have to preview for the new topics.(same interface) I'd rather save my post right away, then edit it later if needed. Just a personal preference.
I have to admit I catch a lot of typos if I read the preview. It's saved me a few edits.
I also like the "ShareThis" option, but I didn't see an RSS feed - Watcher would love that.

I like this, so I always know which forum I am in. Then I do not do "forum litter."

I LOVE how you have the "new" thing on the upper right corner of the post so we can figure out what the new post is!
I wish it were darker or contrasting in colour so it's easier to see (which is why it took so long to find it!)
But I LOVE the idea!
Now we know who answered last and where.

I've found that you can use the browser's Search function to find a word on the page.
Just hit < ctl > < F > and then type in the word or phrase you're looking for, like "New" or someone's name before you hit < ENTER >.
It'll find the first one, then keep going every time you repeat.
It only works for the page you're viewing at the time, so multi-page threads are tricky - you have to search each page.

Excellent news!
Hopefully the site will have a more robust search feature soon.
you're right! All along I could have done that... lol.
Oh well.

I'm burying this in the middle of the thread; maybe it'll go unnoticed by the Powers That Be (PTB).
While I wish we COULD post external links, I do love the fact that any URLs we post become links automatically.
You can post links to INTERNAL sites, ABC Family/Madacorp/Latnok/Cooper's Blog/Unlisted or threads on this site. It will be so wonderful to be able to respond to the duplicate threads with a clickable link to the main discussion.

I wish all text was that bold and dark.
That wasn't very praise-y, is it?
Let me try another one...
I like seeing which posts have new things in them without wondering where the 'new' post is.
Ie. the old board you can see that someone posted but not necessarily which thread. Especially when you just posted one and you bumped up a thread.

We could do that before, but i really like these. They stick out more I think.
I'm Phantom... I overuse... ellipses...
Its' the story of two guys who start at the bottom, stay at the bottom, and end up at the bottom- It's more realistic that way.
The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.
I LOVE how you don't have to post a post to see the other posts!!
YAY!!

I love having a sigy.
Also like the "new" indicator on new posts.

The envelopes by the name of a thread turn gray after you have read that thread. I also love that when you open the thread "new" shows up in the upper right corner on the new posts.
The new is wonderful. Not searching and searching for the new post. That was such a clever idea.
