Ok, so the New (old) forum software has now been in place a few days as of today (8/22/11).

I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. 

So far, I have found it to be faster loading, and of course, no login/access denied issues (unless of course you are actually not logged in, which is what it is supposed to do).

Hmmm.  Message edit screen empty after a brief HTML code flash.... then empty screen.

Signature photos are there.   Ok



Ok great!   I did see a flash when the edit screen first shows up but, the message text stayed this time.

Everything else working a bit faster and no gliches.

Thanks for the info. 
Please try editing a post of your again and see what happens. 
Editing a post for me has been working fine.
Thanks!

No issues noted and the transitions from page to page do seem faster.

I will put in a separate button for Reply and Quote, but for now, it will quote by default unless you use the Reply button at the top and bottom of the page, not to the left of a post.

Also, you can always delete or edit the Quote to your liking

The page load speed is MUCH better, for those of us low-lifes still on dial-up...
It's taking a while to get used to stuff being moved around, such as the post reply, edit, quote buttons, etc. Folks will have to change their "Favorites/Bookmark" addys, too, which I have not done yet here at werk. I do remember this software from the time before dirt was invented, so I'm kinda used to it somewhat, but it's still a major departure, visually, that what was here. As long as the bugs go away, I'm happy....
Thanks for the time you put into making this site ROCK!Clap
Edit check....see no issues with the edit box coming up here...no html
Apparently , the BB code has changed somewhat? Cannot insert an image/smiley using the|/IMG|

Edit check #2...I DID just see the html text for just about the blink of an eye just now....


Edit check # 3...WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO MY FIRST EDIT?!?!?!? It disappeared! dammit....I ain't writin all of it again.....Angry

Um, what?  You mean the quote box in my last reply to this thread (and this reply) doesn't show the entire thread above?  
That is because after I click Reply and the Quote box shows lots of stuff, I edit it to show just the part I want.  You can do that too.
