    Firstly, supreme thanks and low bows must be sent
    in the direction of the Admin Box, Adam and Owen
    and the un-named Techno Guru for the transition.


    I miss being able to hang my mouse over a post title
    and see a preview of the opening post. It was helpful.

    I miss the green 'reputation' bars, especially the (often
    funny) description which would be attached and the way
    in which we could quietly thank a poster for their
    contribution without having to post it on the thread.
    Now, we dont get to see who has good Rep, only who has
    bad rep, which is a shame. Can I have a warning point,
    just for the pure petty fun of it?

    I miss being able to erase just one word while composing
    without it deleting whole lines - there is something a bit
    odd here when it does it - anyone else have this issue?
    I appear to have solved it by hitting the box top left in the
    features bar of the post composer. Not sure what the icon is
    meant to be, perhaps a light switch. Unsure what it prevents
    me from doing by having it switched as yet. HTML Off? I guess

    I miss it not looking <b>anything<b> remotely like the fuddy-duddy GWF.
    I loved the fact that it was a bit more 'funky' and younger looking than
    <i>that<i> other site. This is the one aspect I shall miss most...

    Without wishing to rock the moderator's boat, has anyone else noted that under the new system your post count increases by one point whatever forum you post on ?

    Change of heart or just overlooked ?

    Miss the friendly face of the friendly Forum I first met with its warts and all! I know I will get used to the new look and can see it does make a kind of sense out of the old order.

    Hi Ron


    I think it is a case of ticking some boxes to stop certain posts counting, like on GWF.
    So the mods just have to find the right one!!

    regards

    You've mentioned the wrong O.
    I did nothing.
    The main man is Otto.
    It's his money that pays for all this.

    Almost agree. It is great. But I do accept At Home Dad's note about Rep points. Handy for people like myself who ask more questions than they answer. There did seem to be a like button for posts on here yesterday but that now seems to have gone.

    That's a fair point but personally I always felt that some placed far too much importance on green squares and post counts etc than was neccessary. This new Invision board IMHO is far and away superior to what went before.

    Missing anything?
    Well, I've been taking the forum header as a clue - "under construction".

    I'm just glad to have somewhere to post again... things are looking very positive for the forum's future.

    Maybe things we had will come back, maybe in a different format and maybe some things won't be practical.


    What about the green/red arrows to the bottom right of the posts, then?

    They seem to have appeared since I posted! Or perhaps I am being a bit thick but I am pretty sure it is the former

    But it might be harder to see as it white on white.

    Just gained access to the new format....a question of handling the new system as is the case with all upgrades.

    As for those who made it possible,suggest an award."The Order of the Tiger 1st Class"

    Glad to see you made the transition :)

    As one who was at first bemoaning the loss of previous facilities, I am now much relieved to see all my old favourites coming to life under the new server.

    Explore what is now available and enjoy !

    Yes Ron,

    Like all systems and new equipment,soon up the learning curve.(There is no reason why it cannot be fine tuned to accommodate our most debated topics.)

    There is one added feature that improves and that is the auto save system...previously I have lost posts for a number of reasons before I could hit the "post button".

    Is it just me or have we lost the "reason for editing" option after one has edited a posting ?

    No Ron it's not you-it is not there anymore

    I miss being able to thank the members who have given me a rep point because I cannot find out who has given them

    Lesley

    Reason for editing: added text because I can :lol:
