Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hear, hear . It certainly is appreciated, especially you taking the trouble to make changes following our (many!) suggestions. Love the new smilies . Love the new style in fact . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBeale Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hey everyone, Mark as Read should now work in correctly in all sub-forums. And the smilies. Odd that there was a delay in them appearing... hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hey everyone, Mark as Read should now work in correctly in all sub-forums.

WitchHazel Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 ooh, the font has changed since I was on a couple of days ago. I really like the new one. very easy to read. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckmomma Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Too many replies to read them all so don't know if anyone has mentioned it before but.... Now when I get email to say a message has been added to a thread I have been on, if I click the link in the message to view it, I have to sign in, it's a pain....sorry Other than that I like the changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Mark as Read should now work in correctly in all sub-forums Brilliant!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I haven't dared try posting since all the changes (or indeed had much time to!) but it all seems to be working better after the tweaks. The one thing that I didn't like was that the mark all as read wasn't working, so I'm really pleased that it's fixed now. I just haven't worked out how to add my new chickens to my signature..... It's impressive such a big change has gone so smoothly (nothing in IT seems to work straight away ). Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 phew - those red arrows were driving me mad! After some initial uncertainty - I don't like change! - I have to agree that the forum is quite user-friendly now. There were bound to be a few teething problems. I do like having all the smileys handy in one place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Too many replies to read them all so don't know if anyone has mentioned it before but....Now when I get email to say a message has been added to a thread I have been on, if I click the link in the message to view it, I have to sign in, it's a pain....sorry Other than that I like the changes I was having that problem too but if you go to the formal log in page there is a remember me box under the boxes for your user name and password the old forum used to have it on the main page but if you click on log in rather than doing it on a main page it allows you to check the remember me box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The automatic eamil notification (when a watched thread is updated) is now working. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutrix Farmers Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Looks fine to me, couldn't really work out what had changed, but the more I use it, the more I notice. Bit mean restricting us to only 60,000 characters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I love it - now I have become used to it......... One gripe I have is that I've always left my PMs Inbox alone, and as it fills up the old messages drop off the end into the ether..........now I'm getting a message box to say that I have PMs on hold and I can't access them unless I go and delete old messages. It isn't too onorous to do that....just slightly annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Same here. They do fill up quickly. Could the number be increased I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 You can get them to empty automatically like they used to so that each new one that comes in pushes an old one out. To do this, go to "Rules, folders and settings" on the left in your PMs box and select "delete oldest message" from the bottom section which says "IF folder is full:" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 You have THAT many PMs Lesley????? I'm afraid that I'm boring and manage my inbox like Outlook. I get so many emails at work that I'm in the habit of tidying them away; everything gets filed. Just wish my house was that tidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you can add a folder too. Might come in handy for "storage" purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
