Shari PV Mom Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Okay everyone ... there are so many new, wonderful features to this new board. Let's compile a list of things we notice/figure out so we can all learn together! I'm having so much fun with this new board already! Do you love it as much as I do????

scrappinchar Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Lookin' good! Vaughnde and Sarah helped me figure out the new posts thing. If you hit New Content, then click on the thread title, it should take you to the new post (since you were last in the thread.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappinchar Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 If you put a "status" in...where does that show up? Anyone know? Oh...and I LOVE how easy the emoticons are to get to!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughnde Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I'm liking this also! Much easier to keep up with too. One thing I noticed if I click on the link from my email it takes me to the beginning not where I left off before. Gotta figure that out...maybe once I get there click on the view new content within that thread or something. Still learning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's also share HOW we are doing these things so we can all learn. You can get to the emoticons easy because you click on the smily face icon in the reply box and a whole bunch (but not all) come up on the right side. Anyone know how to get to ALL the emoticons? I'm also noticing that I have to drag the emoticons from the list and not just click. Is that just because of me and my tablet or is that the way it is for everyone?

Heather09 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I discovered that to view the active posts, you click on the "Today's active content" that is just above the active users list (towards the bottom of the main forum page). I love the changes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelaNussbaum Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I believe status appears on your profile. Its awesome isnt it!!! <----feels so purty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappinchar Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Okay...I see that the status shows up on your profile page, at the top. I checked on Vaughnde's and it says she hasn't set her status. I see mine on my page and it has an update button next to it if/when I want to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari PV Mom Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hmmmm ... we're also not allowed 20 emoticons anymore. It's counting them as images. Hmmmm ... I put in all those cheering smiley's and it said too many. I just deleted a few of Charlene's to get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrappinchar Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The emoticons should have a slider bar under them and beside them. And all I had to do was click on the one I wanted. Hope you get yours to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelaNussbaum Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 <---secretly is relieved, that pixy dust worked on the developers!!! Now... not so many things jumping around, moving around.. so hard on my old old eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get yours to work! Maybe it's a tablet thing for me. I just put away my mouse and I'm using just the pen. It's taking some getting used to for sure. I can use the sliders but I know there are more emoticons than what is showing in those two columns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather09 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Okay ladies, I still can't figure out how to jump to the first unread post in a thread. How do I do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDecker Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I love having my watched forums and threads on the top page under new threads! Too cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappinchar Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hmmm. Now that you mention it...I do notice that some emoticons are missing. Like (I typed that one in by memory), and the purple caterpillar thing, and the running doggy, and the smiley on the scale, and the one behind the couch, and two smileys talking back and forth..... Where'd they goooooooooo??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappinchar Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Okay ladies, I still can't figure out how to jump to the first unread post in a thread. How do I do that? I was thinking that with these changes...it won't work until you've been in the thread one time...leave it...let a new post happen...then it will work. lol (Seemed that way to me.) Kind of like it had to reset. It thinks everything is new to you right now until you visit the thread. But...go to View New Content (upper right) then click on a thread...that's what should take you to the newest posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmimmi Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I'm trying to figure this out now.... whew ...I was lost in the boutique adding way too much stuff to my cart and coming over here I feel a little lost.

Bobbi Jo Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think it is gorgeous! And it will take a little figuring out . . . so thanks for starting this thread, Shari. Is everyone else seeing images in the Gallery? I don't have any but I can't figure out if that's because of something wonky with my computer or if it's still under construction.

Heather09 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Time out from the thread to say, Dee I love the quote you've listed in your signature. That's been my montra lately, as I work through the stress of DH's unemployment. I love it!
