Guy_Gallo Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Lo-Fi reading -- neat. Good for mobile access. Wish you could post, but, can't have it all I guess. Ignore User -- been looking for that. Ability to add a "name" to your profile -- good for those of use who started out with screennames and now want our real names to be visible. The "dynamic" attachments are great. This allows you to attach an image and have a thumbnail. (However, I still like embedding images -- and that's not possible as far as I can see unless the images are hosted offsite -- or in the gallery). Just some thoughts.

Tim McTigue Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I've been playing with the Blog feature, and I think it's really neat! Hopefully a bunch of us will soon have blogs going, that would be really cool. I also like the larger size of the avatars, the ability to also have a personal profile picture, and there's a WHOLE lot of functionality under "My Controls" - check it out! It's like walking into a new house for the first time, you can still smell the paint fumes, and there's a faint whiff of silicone caulking in the air, but it's clean, neat, and fancy. And full of possibilities. Sure, the rooms aren't laid out just the way we'd been used to, and the furnishings are different, but once we get used to it, I think it'll be DA BOMB!

Guy_Gallo Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I just noticed that when you click on Options in a user profile, one of the menu items is "Display Name History". This implies that there is a functionality in the software for a user to change their username. If so, I would like to see it activated. I think there are many who might change their anonymous screenames to something more identifying if they could do so without losing their history on the board.

ghunt Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 The boards don't allow you to change your username, but you *can* change your screen name, which is what people see. This is also a good security feature because you can set them to different values so people don't know what your username is. I have enabled this feature. Under "My Controls", there is a link for changing your screen name. I have allowed a maximum of 3 changes in any 30 day period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janito Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 The ability to post files of different types, not just photos - very useful!! I posted 2 PDFs earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvin Goldsmith Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Glenn, Many thanks for all your hard work. I really like the new software. I'm still slowly getting used to it like most folk ...but it seems a fine improvement....I wouldn't like to go back to the old format for sure!
