Maccaboard: Now We Are New!
-
Good grief yes, so many issues. Why the new difficult pword requirement? It's not a bank! It's a talk board!
many buttons not hooked up yet, many features claimed but really absent, tsk tsk. Typical media elites changing something people used regularly and not testing all features before rollout. Just like iTunes and tv programmers.
And the GLARE!! Good god, my eyes cannot take that electric white background. Looks kinda cheap. Can I change it?
Sorry Paul. sorry me. I come here mainly for Rusty but even if I wanted to, I couldn't sort through that mess of threads to see the order I used to read stuff in. Because the sorter doesn't work on all rooms and threads. (see testing features, above).

It seems you now also have to select how you want posts to sort each time you go to a section. Fairly annoying. And the new password requirements are ridiculous! Thanks for the changes IT people! NOT!

Well, THIS is interesting:
"We have 8707 registered users
Online now: 24886 registered users"
<---this is supposed to be cheeky if you hover over the emoji. *sigh*
I was willing to give the new site a chance, but there is so much that is wrong, I don't think I will be here much until it gets fixed.
I noted that anomaly in an earlier post. I saw it and thought wtf? I wouldn’t count on any “fixes” if I were you. I think we’re just going to have to put up with the constant sorting on every Forum and Thread page. I would just be ecstatic if they got the “While you were away” feature to work!

Things I miss:
The preview button when posting a message.
The link in your account profile that says"all posts by..." (it is helpful as I browse/read a lot but not always post, so when I do post, that link helps me remember and follow up any post I have made)
Previous posters have mentioned: the page number at the top of a thread, it's annoying to scroll to the bottom of a thread to get to another page
The label of each emoicon when you hover over it (for me, some do and some don't). As there are so many now to choose from (which I like!) some facial expressions are not that obvious, it would be nice to have them labelled so when you pick one, you are picking the appropriate one LOL

Doesn't look like anyone "official" has been here.
I still can't delete archived PMs. I would like to clean the archives out please and thank you.

Oh, yes. I'd forgotten about that. That really irked me, particularly because it seemed like a suggestion until you hit submit. I may have said some things to my computer that would make it blush.
"A strong password should contain at least X, Y and Z."
"Yeah, well, it doesn't so *EXPLETIVE* off." -
I wish they'd return to the old format with everything it featured included ! Seems like most who've posted so far prefer the former message board forum setup. It was easier to navigate, not as complicated or something. I don't know how likely it is that they'll change back. One does fancy all the little faces and other cute emojis...

Go to your archived PMs. Put a check mark on the ones you want to delete. At the bottom of the page there is a blue button to click on to delete them.
-
What I am upset about is that I had saved a bunch of PMs in my Inbox and I’m pretty sure they are all gone now.
Okay, they are gone from the Inbox and Saved sections (there is nothing there) They are mixed in with the Archived PMs and it would be a royal b*tch to find them in 45 pages worth of PMs!!

That doesn't work for me.

Oh, and another thing that doesn’t work is the “Remember Me” feature. I checked it, but I still have to type in my user name, unlike the old board which remembered it!

Yep, just found out it doesn’t work for me either! Lol! What a load of garbage this “Now we are new” place is!

Susy, have you tried searching for your posts by clicking on the spyglass? Do you know which forum and what the name of the thread is?
Nancy R, I was referring to the entire past history of my posts here--don't you recall the feature on the former site called "Find All Posts By" and then the member's name when you click on your name here under your avatar and then it goes to info about yourself? Or you clicked on your name on threads or posts in the forums, rather, and then it went to personal info including "Find All Posts By"--and you were in your back pages archive of everything you wrote since you joined. I've been devastated by the fear all that's gone, all my writings in there, and no Mod or admin. will address my concerns. None of them have, about any of our questions, so far. Unless I'm mistaken. My writings here meant the world to me. I hate that about the Net--that you can lose so much.

I have been trying this every few days and so far none have been deleted.

I just don't like it at all! I tried editing a post: didn't work. I also can't seem to log out! Where is that hidden? Very confusing all around.
Of course, as soon as I posted this, I finally found how to log off! Also, still getting the warning that the site isn't safe and log ins may be compromised. I would have thought they would fix that!
How about posting photos? Have they made that any easier? Can we copy and paste without having to go through a third-party site?

To answer your last few questions, any easier? No. Can we copy and paste without using a photo sharing site you mean? I don’t know as I never have done that. I have one Photobucket account that still allows me to post pics here. Just have to copy and paste a direct link using that 7th little box from the left above (only seen when writing a post) Here ya go!
-
And you know you can only edit a post for 30 minutes after it is posted, right?
ETA: Like I just clicked on EDIT and added this sentence, then I clicked SAVE.

Yes, I know what you are referring to. But don’t you at least know if you were posting in the Talk More Talk forum or the What’s That You’re Doing forum? If you can narrow it down to which forum, all you have to do is go through the threads in that forum. It might take awhile, but they are still there!

If you look at this site when you're not logged in, some of the posts don't appear and there are fewer pages. But it doesn't just seem to be random. All of the posts by certain people are gone. I'm sure it's not personal.

I just want to see what happens when you quote a post with a picture.
This is definitely an improvement.
