Test the new board!

Oh and the generic avatar is creepy!

[missyny]

Its all so tiny. Narrow.


Also I wish the usernames were bolder.

[pilife]

I take full advantage of the "quick reply" option

[peachykate]

I can't! It keep saying my login key is invalid even after I upgraded. Boo.

It looks really wonky on my pc

The auto avatars for people that don't have any are creepy.

Yes. Very much yes.

Apparently making the page bigger didn't help with sizing.
The amount of space for text in the message is still seemingly significantly smaller

[udscoobychick]

Looks like there's no longer a "Jump to page" option for threads with 5+ pages...any way we can get that added in?

ETA: there's no "jump to page" option at all...I just find it most helpful for 5+ page threads, since it displays individual page links for shorter multi-page threads.

[ringstrue]

Oh praise jesus they fixed the width.

[ringstrue]

oooh I like the way it quotes too.

Will there ever be a way to see messages I've sent to people? Right now I can only see messages I've received which makes it hard to remember conversations.

You can do this today--just click Outbox in the messages area.

[thebamker]

can I delete my own post?

[speckledfrog]

It looks like deleting posts is the same as on here, you just delete the OP and the responses remain.

[ChillyMcFreeze]

Welp, off to find an avatar! Damn, that thing is creepy.

[marcyiam]

This may have already been mentioned, but is there any way to add space between what you write and the siggy picture? The text sort of gets swalled up.

I know we could just hit enter to add the space, but if it's done automatically it may look less cramped/cluttered.

Quick glance - don't like the Hot Topics and Related Stories box

Yes, and I agree with nic about the creepy avatars.

[MixedBerryJam]

I love the way searching for member profiles works.

[Captain Serious]

Is it just me? I can't find a way to go to the next page from the bottom of a post. Do we have to scroll to the top to advance to the next page or am I missing something?

I guess the bar that has the arrows is supposed to follow you down the page, but it does not do that for me either, so I have to go all the way back to the top.

I had some trouble logging in. The new board does not recognize my e-mail. I know I typed it in correctly here, because it's listed on my profile. When the switch happens, will I automatically be logged like here, or will I have a problem?

[Deleted]

I don't like the gray/gray background. Now, it's the blue/gray and it is much easier on the eye.

Try this:

If this is your first time logging in you will be guided through an account upgrade process to create a global account. The upgrade process should be very simple -- and will allow you to login with your email address and password in the future. This way, in v5, you can access every single ProBoards forum using a single set of login information (email address + password).

Step-By-Step instructions
First Time
1. Go to pandcetest.freemessageboards.com
2. Click 'login' in the upper right corner of the forum.
3. You will now be on the login page (blue and orange)
4. If this is your first time here enter your Forum Username and Forum Password from here.
5. Go through the upgrade process, to upgrade your login to an email address for v5.
6. Upon completion you will be back at the forum, logged in.

From Then On
1. Go to pandcetest.freemessageboards.com
2. Click 'login' in the upper right corner of the forum.
3. You will now be on the login page (blue and orange)
4. Enter your Email and Password.
5. If you have only one linked forum account you will be back at the forum, logged in. Otherwise you will select which account you want and you will be logged in as the one you choose.

Really an excellent approach to getting people to use avatars.

The little gear at the bottom of the page brings you back to the top. It's the teensy tiniest little thing with two other icons before it.

Might. Be an iPad thing, maybe not. I haven't tried it on a computer yet.

My signature isn't showing up - do we have to use a different code to have an image in our sig now?

[regeltx]

Is there a way to go between topics without having to go out to the main board page? Most boards I am on, there is a prev/next link at the bottom of the page. Call me lazy.

Try again - I think I figured out what your problem was.
