Feedback on new format

[yooper]

NEW markers are based on session length, currently set for 15 minutes. Unfortunately, session length ties in with both the "users online" and with the "new indicator" you are referencing. This is an issue that vBulletin has in their programming, and one which has not yet been hacked out. I'm hoping they rewrite their scripts to take care of it...

You can "bypass" it somewhat by using the forum dropdown box and clicking "mark forum read", rather than just linking directly back to the main forum menu.

Ick. That "bypass" only solves half the problem. I'm MUCH more concerned that I'll miss a new post in an important thread. The old software was very reliable for keeping track of that. And now I can't trust the server to tell me if there are new posts, so I have to physically check each thread to see what's there. That takes more time for me and puts much more load on the server. Crap.


I guess I can turn on instant email notification....

thread notifications offer 4 options:

no email, but it will be listed under your User CP, so you nkow what threads are being watched
email notification, telling you an important thread was updated at least once
daily thread summary
weekly thread summary

not sure how those final two work, but suspect for those that are online rarely but want to keep track of something important, it will be a useful tool.

ok, found my old url link but now it is too large a file for the new system. Can anyone suggest a program to resize a jpg file so it will fit? Right now all I have is ms paint.

I use Photoshop Elements. It came free with one of my digital cameras.

irfanview - free, and easy to use.

My best guess is that ths is awesome. My problem is, at the age of 32, I no longer like change. I will feel much better once the "double-your-number-one-green-smiley" is once again available.

Thanks, Woody, this forum really fills a void in my life...the void that I wish were full of money and "wrenchability"! flipoff!

Yes, change is hard but this place is cool.

Simon, Woody is right - IRFANVIEW rocks... I use it all the time and it's pretty easy to get started on.
