Troubles under new posts

[Rufus]

Click on User CP, up there in that dark blue navigation bar, and when the User Control Panel opens, click on Edit Options, over on the left side. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of that page, you will find Miscellaneous Options - Message Editor Interface. Click on that down arrow and select Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing. Don't forget to click Save Changes, at the bottom of the page.

You can also change the time there according to your time zone, and a number of other options. Definitely worth checking out.

Oh, this is very cool. I like it!

I'm liking the saltire for the forum new posts/no new posts

[Uncle Ricky]

So far I really like the new format. Like everything else, It takes a bit of getting used too. I am curious as to why my user options says I may NOT post attachments. Can anyone clue me in? Also, what does it mean when it says HTML is switched off?

Cheers,
Rick

It looks great. I'll get used to it eventually.

Kind of an initial shock, but as the saying goes, if your not moving forward, your moving backwards.

(not that I actually believe that, but it seems to fit.)

Rick, attachments can end up being HUGE and eating up large chunks of database space AND bandwidth. Both of which can get expensive, if they exceed certain limits. The IMG code is on, so you can insert picture images in your posts, but I cannot attach a .zip file to my post for you to download.

As for the HTML block, there are ways that HTML can be entered into forum posts that will cause a lot of behind-the-scenes damage, so you will usually find that most forums will not allow HTML to be posted.

OOOps! Sorry folks, I didn't see this thread before and so have posted my comments/observations in the "Comments and Suggestions" section.

To further add to Mike1's comments, HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language) is the code behind websites.

I like the new look. Good job!

boy go away for a little while and wham! every thing changes, but in this case I think for the better. This looks great. But I had trouble remembering my darn password!
