Right now the first line in your profile is set to accept an web address (example: http://tvclubhouse.bomis.com) so you're free to post the web address to your personal folder in there.

Making an automated thing is what I would love to see, but I don't think that's going to happen.

Using the MSN WebTV emulator, I have posted a couple of screen shots of the new board in the Spam Room - Test area over here for anyone who is interested. :)

I love the private message function!!

A couple of questions, when you have time:

• Will chat be/look any different?

• Will time limits for editing or canceling a post be lengthened?

• Will the number of gifs/photos continue to have the same effect on the system?

• How long do you keep typically keep profiles on the roster before removing them? Will that change?

• Any NEW rules you're thinking of introducing?

Thanks!

for all your HERCULEAN efforts!!!

where are you all see the private message function?

Will there be a number under our name with our posts count?

Looks great so far

Pamy, check out the screen shot (in this thread) on Friday, January 23, 2004 - 06:16 pm for the private message function.

This is so exciting! I can't wait for Tuesday. I feel like its going to be like playing with a cool new toy for a while.

Is there going to be a place where it shows how many times the thread was viewed? To be quite honest, I don't really like that feature on other message boards, especially if its a thread I start. Its kinda nerve wracking to see your thread have 50 views, but no replies!

Pamy, go to Admin's posting within the archive on THIS thread. I think it is the 1/23 6:16 pm post of his that shows you what it will look like.

Herck, I think your last question was answered a few posts up (Saturday, January 24, 2004 - 06:39 am by Admin, second paragraph).

This stuff scares me. I'm computer challenged on my best days, I'm afraid you're all going to go away and I won't be able to find you anymore.

Don't worry, GAL. The mods will leave a trail of breadcrumbs.

Will chat still be the same?

Chat will be exactly the same - in fact, there's been discussion of having chat available during the time of the upgrade so if you're inclined and have access, you might check in there to see what the status is and/or give you a diversion while the board is unavailable. :)

Chat will be the same, number of posts is not shown, who's online right is not shown, how many times a thread has been viewed is not shown.

Not all these features are avaiable. I know a lot of other websites have these features. It's always been my wish to keep the board simple, but I know some bells and whistles are always fun too. I like to think our conversations and personalities are what bring us here, not the toys.

The new board has many new tools, but a lot of them will be permanently turned off as they don't go well with what we're trying to do here, or they generate too much bandwidth and server strain, which our generous and friendly host, BOMIS.COM would not like. Some of them just don't work on our server either. Others are not available as part of the software; we would have to switch software packages which isn't going to happen.

Photos and gifs will still have the same effects on the server and the maximum size allowed will remain the same, however there are some great improvements with the search tools and caching features which should improve the speed of things loading and being viewed. I've also streamlined more things right into the board skin files so that should help things load a little faster too.

Thanks so much for that info! Didn't you say to be sure to have the mirror site loaded? How do I do that? Where do I find it? (I do remember seeing it somewhere, but . . . )

Goddess, there is no one more "computer idiot" than me--I know how to turn the thing on and use what tools I need. If something needs fixed other than that, I call our computer support people.

There will be a trail a train could follow.

LOL, Lance. On the big day, I plan to log into chat if anyone wants to join me. I tend to take care of all my housework and run errands while connected to the internet so alot of time not actually sitting here, but here, so I'll be there and try to catch updates off the mirror site for people who want or need them.
