So..if I want to insert an image from another site, I have to use the IMAGE upload, and insert the image url/addy there, instead of just adding the tags? Or...am I still missing something?(not unheard of, fer sher)

(image added thru upload)

(image added thru url via upload)


Ok...just now, the cursor was blinking, but what I typed in did NOT appear(I had to retype)...the stoopid cursor just sat there laughing at me....blinking madly....Angry So I guess the issue IS here at werk, too.


And on a different subject, I am not able to Move posts from one thread to another. I can click on the little airplane "Move" but nothing happens at all....it just laughs at me, too.....

  This is a "Copy/Paste" of the Move icon....

So, you just want to be able to see a list of posts that are more than 24 hours new? Like 2 days new, or 3 days new?  

So if I made the 24 hours page have an option to list 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, etc, would that meet your needs?


I meant to wait til the smoke cleared before I chimed in and it looks like it is. I like that idea Adam.

My personnal issues are unless I'm missing somewhere I liked the topic options to "watch topic" and receive e-mail notice of a post to that topic. Made it much easier to get to the topics you are interested in. I see there is a box to check at the bottom when you are posting to that topic but not on the initial post.  The other issue is with old software my computer would remember my log on and log me on when opening, have to go through log in process eveytime entering site. My 2 cents.

Paging is now in place. You'll see page numbers at the top and bottom of each thread. Each page will only show 20 posts.  If there are multiple pages, you'll see a link for each page.

Yep, Boss, that would be great! I just like to make sure I don't miss anything!

When you first log in, there is usually a box below the login box that says "Log me in automatically every time", or "Let my computer remember my log-in", or something to that effect. Be sure to check the box next time, and it should log you you automatically every time you come to the site. IF you log in from another computer(at work, for instance) during the day, it may require you to log in again at home...mine does that sometimes, but not all the time.

I check that box everytime I log in and it doesn't make any difference, still have to log on everytime I enter site. Worked fine with the old software.

Well that IS weird. Afaik, the site itself does NOT store your log-in, or p-word...that is strictly something your browser or computer does, to make log-ins quicker. What browser are you using?
You MAY need to go in and clear the C3VR cookies, but this is gonna be an Adam question, at this point.
