It's good to see some of you over at the new board ! ! !

There's a few things in this Board I'll need to look into as we get closer to the weekend...
For one, I noticed the "Quick Reply" box is missing...

If there's something you notice missing or a problem, please post so I can research and possibly correct this issue...

In my opinion. I think this system is an improvement over the old Board.

Enjoy ! ! !

Like everyone else here I am very grateful for all the hard work you do.
Its the first place I come to when logging on and the last place I go to before turning off.

I did notice that when I accessed the discussion boards from the front page it took me to the
old boards, will that change???

Also - What's the significance of the coloured stars???

Cheers

Dave

Jim,

Love the new look.  I was trying to upload a picture for my avatar and I got this message...

An Error Has Occurred!
The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved. 

I was able to change my birthdate in my profile, but not this.

Has anyone else had this problem or been successful?

Does this have a "New" button that you can click so you can see all the new posts since you last logged on? 

Nevermind. I found the "show unread posts" link.

Looks great Jim! It'll take some getting used to but looks to be a lot more interactive, thanks for all of the hard work!

Hey everyone,

I will look into the Avatar issue tomorrow; it seems like it may be just a permissions issue...

The Stars are indicators for group/level status for members. The old system had different soda machines instead of stars...

And the old system will not be accessible in the future; I'm leaving the message up for those that don't frequently stop in...

Hey Jim don't mean to be bothersome,  But here is my question
From the home page and you click the Discussion area button
and it take you to the old area ,  Will that change to take you
 to the new area ?   Or are we going to be seeing a whole new site
down the road ?

 again sorry to be a bothersome

As far as the old Site still having the link to the old Discussion Areas, this is true and will be the case for the rest of the week.
I wanted a little more time to continue testing things; as you may recall, I mentioned moving into testing registrations and other areas requiring logged in members... Well, we'll be jumping right into the New Site very soon because the migration between the two foums was only supposed to be a test conversion with the final one to be performed after more features have been tested...
So for now, we'll be using the new discussion areas...

Members that have access to the new Site may begin to login and use/review other asspects of the Site... The login along the left side...
