Iām not sure about the signature line rules on this new setup, but I think it would be nice if there was a a very strict size limit on any pictures that go there. I know the member I have in mind means well, but every time he posts it makes a mess of the page.
Waiting for it, I am missing it.
Generally I believe the upgrade went fairly well, as a user I have seen very few problems.
Iāve tried to use it, not leave it just duplicating the first few words of the response, but I wonāt miss it
Hm, and Iād just a few days ago suggested people with unwanted flattop cells (those who would rather trade than fight with the seller) make sure to show their location
so any of us near enough to meet and buy or trade could work something out.
Is there any other way to detect proximity?
Like (for US) matching the first 4 digits of the ZIP, for example? Thatād find people who are somewhat close.
Iām sure the advertisers can locate all of us right down to the nearest wifi or cell site or street address ā but do they share that useful tool with their flocks and herds out standing in their fields?
Once Iāve seen the same picture twice or thrice, I usually try UBlockās āblock elementā and try to avoid seeing it again.
It speeds up the pages and reduces the ābouncingā quite a bit, though the accumulated filter lines eventually will choke my adblocker.
Any better way to reduce imagery thatās repeatedly shown, or outdated, would be most welcome.
Yeah, Iām a dinosaur.
Iām liking the new color scheme. 
The nerd-themed smileys are going to take some getting used to 
It looks really nice
Iām missing only a small point: Formerly the location of the members where shown (if they posted it in the account). Sometimes the locations helps, if a member is looking for something special (spare parts).
These all dns problems in 99% cases come from change done incorrectly and not from ādns being slowā.
DNS zone contains TTL record which informs dns resolvers how long they can cache information. Properly done move is like this:
- assuming current TTL is 4 days (for example) -> lower TTL to 5 minutes
- wait 4 days until all cache entries on resolvers are known to expire
- then do changes (remember that TTL is only 5 minutes now, so thatās how long resolvers will cache the information)
- changes can also include restoring TTL to old value
First impression, I like the new Look.
It still looks like snot in a sock on my monitor, but thatās Windersā fault as much as anybodyās. The ad at the top is wider than the screen, so I sometimes get the Horizontal Thumb because of the ads. No āWidth=100%ā on ads, eh? Iāll repeat my standard whine, that script kiddies (the ones who wrote the middleware weāre using here as well as FireFox contributors and Winders code puppies) need to get some sort of clue and test their work as if they once met a āprofessionalā programmer. (āIt works on my systemā would get you a stern talking-to at the Help Desks I managed.)
Question: I really liked the old āSubjectāā (whatever it was called, I forgot) line on Replies. That appears to be gone now. No heartbreaker, but it was a nice touch (IMNERHO, of course) to be able to lead off with a pithy sentence to summarize the upcoming post. The existing āSubjectā lines are gone too. (I only use the āSimple Post Editorā, but if I have to change to the āComplicatedā (ānon-Simpleā) one ā oh, well.)
PS: Speaking of professional programmers, did you forget that āThe first half of a project takes the first 90% of the time; the second half takes the other 90% of the time.ā
Iād like to revise and extend my last comment and add my vote that this most-useful feature be restored. Dittos to Buwuve and the Green Lantern.
Help please. I tired to add a picture in a reply to a post. I used the same method I always do. It didnāt work. The āsaveā and āpreviewā buttons were not highlighted. Can some tell me how with the change, thank you!
Re: the subject line. Subject line is only needed once when the original post is being made. Having it change like it used to didnāt seem to make a lot of sense.
SB, I didnāt realize the update was mainly about security. that definitely is number one reason to make changes. Mobile friendly would be nice sometime.
Wow looks really slick SB. Keep up the great work!
More comments:
1. Subject line on each post _ Not a big deal. Already donāt even notice itās missing.
2. Emoticons with asterisks, like scratch_one-s_head and smile donāt work.
3. No longer can respond directly using only emoticons. Not a big deal. Members will quickly learn how to deal with it, by adding text or a space. (You can even add then immediately delete the text or space to get the emoticons to āstickā.)
4. As noted by TK and others, the direct link to post addresses works like a charm. :HAPPY:
5. Text Format interface has been simplified. Much of the visual clutter is gone. Nice change.
6. I miss my listing of posts that used to be under My Account. Is that feature permanently gone under this revision? Or has it been relocated somewhere else?
People are asking about the location thing. Itās still there, you just click the username to see it. Like 1dash1 is in Hilo, Hawaii.
Personally, that is more than good enough. Itās one less thing being repeated down the page.
Links are not posting properly, see these posts for details
I noticed from the recent page you can click on the new post on a thread, but if you click on the thread itself it opens and says āX newā, but you canāt click on it to get to the first new post.
Hmm, seems to work for me. Is it possibly the issue I mentioned earlier in this thread where slow-loading images cause the page to ābounceā even though it starts off loading at the right post?
Yes I know that you make heavy use of the email notifications. Meanwhile donāt forget about the My Subscriptions page for keeping track of activity in your subscribed posts. The page with its new post notifications is still working fine, itās just the email notifications that are broken.
As someone else mentioned, you can just click on the userās profile to see what they have filled in for the location. But Iāll still try to figure out a way to get it back on the userās details in the thread.
Yeah, I tried to change the TTL a few days before starting the migration, but my registrar told me they donāt allow changing it, and that itās only set to 3600 seconds anyway.
I think the few remaining users with DNS problems still are the ones on corporate networks with local DNS caches that arenāt being refreshed.
