Ah, so just the verbal denominator, no sweet digital variable? That one I knew. I just thought one could perhaps somehow access the actual variable itself.

 

Thanks, but I know where I can see mine. I just wondered if you could see someone else's exact number or just the verbal estimate.

 

Whoa...2000 rep points?? That's going to take a while...I notice I've got 7 though...were these added beforehand or were they carried over from some other statistic from the old board?

 

Thats your Rep Power, which is different to your Rep Points, Rep Points can be found in your profile.

 

This may have been mentioned before, but I received a PM and it was delivered to the old boards. Yes, I was very confused for a moment

 

Ooo, brand new spanking boards. Cool.

 

Susipaisti, what a legend. I always get the feeling you're higher than the clouds. Awesome.

 

Great new board Tal. It's the same one that they use at bodybuilding.com and I have come to love the interface.

 

quoting without editing.

By Tal

Me too. When the complete post is quoted unless it is a short one I have a hard time figuring out what the point of the responding post is. I have seen threads where post after post quotes the complete text of the Original Poster (OP). I end up not bothering to read half the posts because of this over use of quotes without editing.

 

Have you considered using the gem value for number of posts, instead of the flat 1 point per 1,000 posts (with bonus points beyond Rogue Stone)? At least some people could become famous (or infamous)... it would also provide continuity to the previous system.

 

Tal, are the icons for new posts, both on the main page and within each forun, the final version? With so many different colours and shapes I'm having a hard time telling which threads have new posts. The main page isn't too bad, I just look for icons with 2 "papers" instead of one (the ones with 2 also have some orange, so looking for that also works). With the threads however, trying to sort out which envelopes are open and which ones are not, especially when they can be 3 different colours and some have a big arrow pointing into them, gets a little tricky. So far the only way I can tell a thread has new posts is by the "V" icon that appears to the left of the name (that little icon is very handy by the way).

EDIT: Just noticed something strange. If I look at the profile of someone who hasn't posted in a long time (say, Extremist), it says that their last activity was "Last Activity: January 1, 1970 01:00". The old forum just says "This user has not been here recently." So maybe the actual date wasn't stored on the old software, and that's driven the new one a little crazy?

 

I miss one thing from the old Board. On the old Board when some one PMed me there would be a flashing Message under my name. Hard to miss. On the new board I have to remember to check for unread messages.

I know I should get an email saying I have a message but I come here first normally.

 

In your profile, under Edit Options, there is a box you can check off that will allow you to be notified of PM's by way of pop-up. I think this will do it (but I'm not sure).

Why do some threads show as bolded and others not?

 

Thanks, son. I need to take a closer look at all my options.
