BobT-47P15 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 I just noticed the little black dot that came up toward the right of the screen........cursor on it and it says "preview topic". On the one I tried, it gave the first and last post. Guess you could use that to see if the subject interests you. Quote
james curl Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 I am having trouble with the ghosted lettering or what ever you call it, pink to rust colored type. Also cannot fing the spell check function. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 It seems that I can only reply by first going to "other reply options. I cannot peply simply by using the reply box at the end of the thread. Is this the way its supposed to work? Quote
P15-D24 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Is there a search function somewhere? Upper right corner, white field says search. Quote
Johnny S Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Very good .... I like the look .... I need to roam a little more to get the feel. Quote

All I do Niel is go down to the empty reply box[,the big white space LOL] with my avatar next to it, and start typing. Quote
DCurrent Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Wow what a difference in the website! I haven't visited in a few days and I guess I was unaware that so many changes were going to take effect. I am finding it a little confusing but I'll get the hang of it. Funny thing is I just figured out the last website. LOL Darren Quote
Niel Hoback Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 This is another test, hope it works. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Yay,,, it works! Before all it would do when I clicked on "post" was make the squares in the green blink and then do nothing. But now, I am impressed at what a really nice site this is. I will try not to abuse the forum with sillyness. Thank you for your patience. Quote
RobertKB Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Thanks GTK!! Very nice change to the forum. The old one was great but this one is nicer once I spent some time on it and figured a few things out. I like having avatars and not needing to preview posts are both big pluses. There is one little niggly thing as I am a retired junior high Language Arts teacher. Where it says "If it has a flathead your at the right place!", it should be you're (contraction for your are) and not your. Edited January 20, 2013 by RobertKB Quote

RobertKB Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Right under P15-D24 Forum where it says "All topics discussing early 40s to mid 50s mopars. If it has a flathead your at the right place!" I know you have worked hard on the site with lots of late nights and I know how it can affect your mind. Believe me! I appreciate everything you do for us!! Quote
TennesseeVol51 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Man everything is great,I love the new site. I stayed up last night and played around with all the new features. I enjoy the Google map of the members. The Tech and Reference sections are super. Thanks for all your hard work. Quote

Young Ed Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 THank your! And I'm working on more original content and reference info. If you want me to come up with a blurb on 39-47 trucks I could. 1 Quote
TennesseeVol51 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 THank your! And I'm working on more original content and reference info. The only thing I would like to see is a devoted section for off-topic subjects.Where anything could be discussed from sports to weather.This would probably be well received.But again thanks so much!

RobertKB Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 I am just wondering if I can get more than 20 replies on a page? Right now I am getting 20 and on the old forum I was getting 50. I have looked to see if there is somewhere I can adjust this but have not come across anything at this point. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Right under P15-D24 Forum where it says "All topics discussing early 40s to mid 50s mopars. If it has a flathead your at the right place!" I know you have worked hard on the site with lots of late nights and I know how it can affect your mind. Believe me! I appreciate everything you do for us!! You have a similar thing on the Pilot-House forum title. The title is correct with "Pilot-House", but in the tag line under that you have "Pilothouse". (edit: but which is correct? The DEPTCA uses the later format. ?????) Other than that, I'm liking the new format. It took a little getting used to, but that's normal with a revamped site. Your efforts are GREATLY appreciated, GT. Thanks, Merle Edited January 21, 2013 by Merle Coggins Quote

All the other forums I participate in have those areas. The problem is they tend to get real nasty as soon as politics & religion start getting discussed. (You will notice I shut those threads down really fast) People around here are pretty civil and I want to keep it that way. Quote

Frank Elder Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 How about being able to read a multi-page thread by choosing "Read All", I was really hoping that was going to be an option when we switched over.........instead of page by page by page. Still loving the new site more by the minute! Quote
