Anyone else hate the new RC?

:) Since nobody has answered the multiple posts on it the way you track PMs now is when you're in the advanced editor window down below the submit button is some check boxes. The very first one is Request Read Receipt for this Message, check that and it'll show up in your tracking.



Thanks Dino...That's definitely different!
 
Thanks, that was what i was looking for.

Yeah, took me a little digging to find it when somebody in another thread asked. I'm betting a lot of people would like to have that option default to checked or an option in the settings so you can select to have it default to on or off.

Myself I never used the tracking thing on the old board so I probably won't use it on this one anyway :p.
 
Is there a way to point people to a specific post when posting a link? In the past, I would use the "Open this thread in a new window" to grab the URL, but that option no longer exists. I'd rather not have to point them to an entire page and have the seek a post out -- if it is possible to point to the correct one, that would be great.

Yep! See the number in the top right hand corner of every post? Click that :D
 
Awesome! Thanks. Plus you can even tell them Post #85, for example. That's cool. :thumbsup:
 
:D Its pretty nice, and if you want to link them to a specific post within the thread (like the old "open this post in a new window") instead of just linking them to a single post, you can click the post number and in the new single post window at the top right hand corner is a thread link. That'll give you the URL to link to a post showing within a thread.

Had to read that 3 times to get it...but now I got it...Cool tips!

Just learned something else.

You can see if a PM is read by going in your sent PM folder. Down at the bottom is a color legend. If the little envelope is blue, they opened your PM.
 
I always log in and search my user name for recent threads in which I posted. The old format used to remember my user name once I typed the first initial in the search box. Now I have to type my entire user name every time.

Also, the posts would open in a new window and I could go back to the tab with the search page to find all the posts.

This is much slower, with all the retyping and the fact that the posts open in the same window and then I lose the search.

Also, I don't like the stickies on every page. In the Reef Fish section, it takes up 1/3 of the page on the subsequent pages.

It is working out to be much slower to use and not nearly as enjoyable. I find myself going to other sites, which I hardly ever used to do. I am sure I'll get used to it though.
 
I love it. Yawl finally did something about the PM issue. I never knew when my PM box was full until someone posted it in a thread. This is much better.:thumbsup: Even the smilies are better.:lol2:
 
Ugh...haven't been on for a bit and then I open up to all this.
I SO hate change!lol
Guess I'll get used to it.
 
Hey, where'd my gallery go?!
I was just saying how my PC fried and lost all my photos, and thankfully I have alot saved in my gallery here.
I got a bad feeling a bad day is getting worse!?
Someone say it aint so.

:) Its been in the announcements for over a month now, the front end of the old gallery was removed during the upgrade to allow for an integrated album/gallery software. The pictures were not removed but you can no longer access them; however, they'll still show up in any posts they were posted in.
 
Wow, guess that's what I get for taking a break here, bummer.
Sigh...so wasn't going to drink tonight!
 
Ok, I see that it does complete the spelling when you go to search.

It's just so slow to load up compared to the old board that I didn't notice it until I got a phone call in the middle of typing.
