I know I'm going to probably regret starting this thread....but....this is a place to give opinions, suggestions and criticisms of the upgrade. It doesn't mean I'll be able to snap my fingers and make any changes that are suggested.....but it would be good to see what you're thinking. And don't forget....I'm still getting used to the upgrade as you all will be. So....go easy on me...PLEASE!
Don't forget.......you can preview your post before posting it. Look to the lower left at the bottom of the posting area. It says, "Preview". I'm not sure if there's a spell-check up and running yet but if there isn't, there should be one soon enough!

I'm just glad I managed to re-establish my Logon, able to LogIn and actually FIND the last few posts. 'Puter stuff has always been an uphill effort for me. Not easy with a cookie in one paw and my, uh, my - KEYBOARD, yeah, that's it, my KEYBOARD in the other paw. What I am not sure about is how one simply does a "Reply" (without the boxed quotes from the root message). Could you help with some directions for that?

OH WAIT... I just FOUND the plain "REPLY" button. I had your original message scrolled up on my screen so "Reply" was not in view. Which leads me to realize the "eyeroll" icon is gone! (sniffle.) Okay... back to my evening glass of wine... (OLD bears are high-maintenance, you know)  |

Bear.....(and anyone else).....when you're ready to type after reading a post, look to the lower right for the "REPLY" button. Then type whatever you're going to say. When you're finished, again look to the lower right for the "Create Post" button. That should take care of it!

I couldn't log on to save my soul (until I had a private chat with Admin), but I have already figured out how to FINALLY get an Avatar to show up! I could never get it to work before......

I have-a-tar - the board looks good. It was a lot easier to figure out avatar. The ipad/iphone versions are still just tourist versions. No Proboard update that I noticed lately.

I could never get it to work before...... = I could never get an avatar to work either, Dale. Being that I am thee Emeritus Furball Sex God of the Redwood Forest, I wanted to use one of my Hollywood promotion pics. I'm thinking Proboard thought it was porn and blocked it.

I added a plug-in entitled "Add image to post" which is just above the posting area to the left. It should make it easier to post photos. I know there is already a way to do that but this is another option. I think it will be a good thing. And it seems to work! It also gives you the option of re-sizing it which is fantastic! Also....it asks you if it's "adult content" or "family safe". Which is fine too. Except that there is no porn allowed here. (My rule) Double entendre type photos, if you know what I mean by that, I guess are now acceptable. But straight out porn will get you a one way ticket to Palookaville. Discretion. We're law enforcement professionals, remember. I'm not a prude but we have standards....(as low as they might be!)

The iPhone doesn't have the easy loader. But here is a reward for your hard work and in celebration of Donut Day Attachments:

You don't want my comments. (Bear convinces that handsome Burner to sit down in his favorite recliner, hands him a nice glass of good wine, a plate of cookies and gives handsome Burner a nice foot massage.) Yes, my friend, you and I both are gonna have to make some adjustments (sigh.) I want my upright typewriter back. That was back in the days when my hard drive always worked (eyeroll icon is now gone)(double entendre off.) Bear ________________. |

I'll take that to mean you love the changes! 
And.....I added a "Spell Checker" plug-in. Located at the lower right side of the posting area. Right next to the button where you post to the site! |
