Some great new functions. Particularly welcome is the fact that Quotes, Italicised words etc now get placed where the cursor is in a reply message, rather than at the end as they did previously. That's going to save a lot of cutting and pasting ...

One slight problem I've noticed. Deleted posts now appear on a thread as .. well ... deleted posts, whereas before they were simply deleted never to be seen again. Is there any way to change this, as they are cluttering up a few threads in the Quiz Room?

Also, is there still an issue with posting messages under 10 words, as this could cause problems in the Quiz and Quotes Rooms where messages are often only a few words (Yes that's correct etc)?

Otherwise, the changes all seem to me to be for the better.

Wild and crazy! I'm fine. (since I figured out how to find the new posts) I don't know what half the stuff is, just like my computer.

Still....It looks good and will be fun to play around with for awhile!

The forum looks way better. Especially the quotes.

Well...I have some rants.

~ The message icons are at the bottom of the text area. Hard to reach.

~ Those tool-thingies, italics and stuff. Hard to determine. Hard to see, even.

Well, that's it, then. But, even if these weren't addressed, I'd get used, then forget I ever ranted about them.

Now, let's look at the source code...could learn a lot more about HTML here...

->Elenrod the Golden...I think...

Again, I was lost the first couple of minutes, just like I was the last time it changed...
But it seems quite allright now.
It looks a bit messy if you ask me, but I don't see anymore of these strange chinese marks, so that's an improvement...

Is it the final version I'm looking at right now? For it will be a shame to confess if it the said hateful temporal thing, but I do like the look of it, with all those neat frames around posts and what-not

If I’m not mistaken, the deleted post/thread notices are available only to mods. There is “delete post” and there is “physically remove post”. Only the latter actually 86-es the post from the database, while the former may be restored.
