I've only done a few posts and I am already liking some of the new features. The very fact we can post YouTube Videos is a big plus in my book. Not to mention that it's much easier to hide Spoilers now. In fact, I see a lot of new features that I want to play around with since I've been meaning to re-create my signature anyways. (Sure, I have it saved, but I've been meaning to give it an update and this is the perfect excuse.)
I think this will help the forum grow quite a bit. I'm looking forward to what happens with this place.
My only gripe is that I get kicked out of the topic when I click "Post". Yes, it does post, but that's still irritating, especially when you're so used to seeing your post right after you post it.
Other than that little gripe, I'm loving this new version. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to have a little fun here.
See ya later!
The solution to that issue was explained in another topic. Basically, go to your profile, go to "look and layout", and check the box for "return to topics after posting by default".
Sometimes I get randomly signed out of the site. Not sure why. I should change my password sometime.
Also Pokeplayer, I don't have the issue that you are having with replying. When I posted this, it still did what the old forum did and brought me back to the same thread, only with my post being the first thing I see.
I had that problem once, but not since I decided to check the box of "always keep me logged in" every time I would log in. Without that checked, the default time of staying logged in is 60 minutes, so perhaps you were either working on a post that took you more than an hour to complete or the 60 minutes since you logged in had elapsed while you were making that post. I honestly don't know which of those two is happening, but at least the method I just mentioned should help prevent that (so long as you can actually remember to do it every time you log in).
Anyway, I'd just like to mention that I've finally made a decision regarding all of my PMs from the other site. I didn't want to download any of them, but I did decide to copy and paste the text from some of them into the same document I had used to save my avatar and signature. I spent five hours yesterday going through all of my PMs, deciding which ones were worth saving and which ones I'd be okay with losing. As I went through them, I made a rather peculiar discovery that, apparently when we went onto zetaboards back in November, all PMs that were saved in the sent section were not only duplicated (one showing who it was sent to, and the other showing it being apparently sent to myself), but some of the originals of said duplicates were missing, making it difficult for me to figure out who they were even sent to. Well, it's obviously too late to do anything about that, so I'll just settle for the effort I made yesterday.
