Hi, oh Evil One! :p
Not sure yet, but I think I like the most recent post being displayed at the top so we don't have to scroll down every time. A little soon to tell yet.
Would be nice if we still were able to display email addresses and websites in our bios. (Unless I've missed something.) A member directory would be cool too. Am I asking for too much!?
Thanks for all of your work. It's obvious that you've put a lot into this. It is very much appreciated!
:cool:

i tend to agree with jag here……..
i think i prefer when the newest posts are at the top then you don't have to constantly have to scroll down to read the new posts but i guess it's a little to soon for criticism……..but i'll ream you next week about the same issue i'm sure……………

hmmm… is it me or was there a button above the post on the old sw to make do a reply without quotes… now you have to scroll to the top just to post a reply. another reason to have the posts reversed.
the ubb code buttons are nice addition!
and i'm still a moderator :cool:

i'm loving the ubb code. that's a great feature. i would like to have the most recent posts at the top though and not at the bottom. and perhaps a post from the administrator quickly outlining the new features because i'm sure i'll miss more than a few of them. thankie!

to be honest, i hate new things. haha. i miss the old forum because it just seemed a lot easier to use. then again it's too soon to tell and i'm sure that i'll adjust. but i do like the most recent reply on top as well. i like to see how far off topic everyone has gotten :) why did you guys change it anyway? but still, good job.

no, keep oldest posts at top…it makes 100x more sense the way it is now. Think about it, if you have a new post you haven't read that is 5 pages long…doesn't it make more sense to scroll down reading, then hit the next page scroll down, etc…rather than the old way where you had to first go to the last page, then scroll up…it just doesn't make sense that way, sorry.
:D

i changed the forum software because the old software would not run on the new server
i can't make up my mind about oldest to newest posts order….we had this discussion last time around and i don't really remember how we resolved it….probably whatever seth like best… ;)
i suppose i could make a post about all the new features…but i don't have a clue as to what they are ;)
and thanx for the cool evil satan avatar thingy… i'm liking that
i will change the colors back

there is a link at the top left of the page that allows you to jump to new posts. no need to scroll.
if a thread has more than one page, there are links to each page on the thread selection page so you can jump right to the last page.
newest last is much easier to read.

Where is the link to get to the newest post? I can't find it. I don't like scrolling down, they won't give me a scrolling mouse at work.
Change is hard…maybe I'll get over it.

the web address thing was pretty useful.
Only a handful of people used it but they mostly had pretty fun websites. I say bring it back.
I am starting to enjoy the new board….
So far only two people seem to like posts as earlier first, but one of them is Thatguy. Your not scared of him, are you?
And if you could see yout way to making the text that blue colour I would feel much more at home.
Thanks for the board.

i think the new set-up is excellent, my main complaint had always been the starting post at the bottom, it seems to me that this is a definite upgrade, thx
