vBulletin 3 Discoveries - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I love the little white dot that tells you whether you've posted on that thread- it's so handy. No more wracking your brain to remember whether you posted on a thread months ago and forgot about it!

I have discovered something that I think is totally nifty. When you paste something from the BDs to a word document, the pasted word shows upon the document in the font and size you have set on Word. Before, the word would copy in the BDs font and size and I would have to change it. Now, I no longer have to do that.

Cheers,
Istawen

Not only can you now preview your siggie, you can preview PMs!

When I use the "bold" and "italic" buttons in messages, a space automatically appears after the "/B" bit. An UNWANTED space, usually!!

Great news is, one of my former gripes has been wiped away. The friendly little ghost icon now appears in his right place, wherever a thread has been closed. Ahh...

At the start of a thread, there are options now, Thread Tools, Search Thread, Rate Thread.

The printable thread option under Thread Tools is tremendous. I can see the value also of the email and unsubscribe options too. Great stuff!

I like the new buttons for posting posts or threads. I also enjoy the posting area, as it looks more professional, and feels sorta homey.

Except that the toggle buttons for the Bold, Italics, Underline, etc. on that row, are covered in black until you hover your mouse over them. A little annoying.

I was surprised to see posts by people with the status of "guest"; how does that happen? Don't you have to register to post?
