New software tomorrow

[tzill]

Be prepared for problems with the site starting tomorrow. Hammer says boards will be restored one by one from the default settings. I'm not sure what that means, but in any event, know your password as you'll need it to log in tomorrow.

Some genius changed the location of the forum! (old URL didn't work).

For a massive overhaul of the site, this has been rather event-free, I think. I am not sure what I think of the new look, but it is certainly moving along a lot faster.

I like some of the new features. Particularly you can highlight a specific piece of text from a post and quote-reply just that snippet. Nice new feature!!

Ah! They finally did an "auto link" so that the old URL sends you to the new one!

Let's see if URLs are automatically turned into clickable links ...

This was always the case...

Cal- my former setting blocked out seeing the avatars. Cannot seem to find that feature anywhere. You know anything about that?

I dunno. These likes and points may get us back to the days of rep. That was sorely abused. I remember the guy who I think was a Washington Capitals fan with 10,000 rep points came on the board to talk junk. We'll see.

No idea. I will fish around, though, and see if I stumble across it.

On the general board there is a thread for these kinds of questions.

The side bar under our avatars look clunky now, I liked the pictures for our favorite teams.

The team pics will be back. There is just a lot of stuff on the to do list.

Yup, and this is new software, so I thought I'd see if it still worked.
