Man I was just starting to find my way around and now things are different! Ask again in a couple days, I will probably love it then. I am not big on change.
 
I guess it will take time to get used to it. Less smilies etc. and no more pics probably add to your end, but take away a lot from our end. I guess if we don't like it, we will go elsewhere.
 
I will be adding the smilies, and what pics are you talking about?
 
Folks,

You can still add pictures and everything else. A big plus with this software is that it automatically re-sizes your avatar for you. Just go to "My Controls" and look on the left side of the page until you see the avatar section. You can cut and paste or upload a pic in the bos, then just put the size of avatar that you want in the little boxes below.

And as always, if you need any help, ask Paul or a mod.
 
whoa! like i'm in bizzaro world, a blue world that is even more clean than the old ware, not too bad :)
 
I'm about as computer illiterate as they come.... I was just trying to figure out how to ad my own av and I wasn't getting it.

"You can cut and paste or upload a pic in the bos"

Is "bos" supposed to be "box" ? If so, what box are you talking about ? I don't recalll seeing a box, but it's possible that I missed it, or wasn't aware that's what it was for. I'll go back and look at it again...

:rolleyes:
 
Don't know yet, may take a few days. Was looking for Vintage but it looks as if it's gone to the wayside. Oh well it was fun for awhile. Also noticed it did away with our old Avatar's. I may be southren and talk a little slow but it don't take me long to catch a hint.
 
I looked back at some posts and didn't see any pictures I posted, or for that matter, anyone else's. It's okay though. If you can still post pictures, tell me how. I don't see anywhere that you can add a link.
 
You add them the same way you did before.

Click the "IMG" button and put the address in the box.
 
it will take some getting used to, but you had to expect that. it just looks different. we were on the other software for a looooong time and it was comfortable after we were there. this seems to be pretty fast though :D

It does seem a lot faster! :)

But does he really think I changed the board because he's from the south?

Seriously, you folks never cease to amaze me at times. :blink:
 
I think that 84 noticed that other racing is 1 big fourm in there
 
Paul, that's okay. I tried to load a picture, small one, in the test area from my computer and couldn't. Seems that you can only load picture from a web page. I just miss the browse feature of the old software. Again, it doesn't matter to me. That's just one thing I won't do any more.
 
This will take some time to get to know the area. So far, so good, I think. I'm still looking around and trying to find everything. :unsure:
 
Yeah, I meant to type BOX.

To add an avatar, click on My Controls at the top of the page. Then look on the left side of the page that opens and you'll see "Edit Avatar Settings" under Personal Profile You can uses the same avatars that were on the boards by clicking on them in the box under "Pre-installed avatars." If you have a picture that you want to use for an avatar, look at "Your Image Avatars". You'll see a long BOX where you can add the address for the picture. If you see a picture form a site that you want to use, move your mouse on the picture and right click. Look in the window that opened and click on "properties". You should see an address pop up in the next window about mid-way down. To "copy" it, hold down the right button to your mouse and drag the curser over it. Everything should be highlighted in black. Left click again and you should see several choices including "Copy." Click "copy". Now, go back to the big long box next to "Your image avatar." Right click in the box so the curser is there. Left click and you should see "paste" as one of your choices. Click on it and the address for the picture should be there. Then go down to the little boxes and type in "120" in both boxes. Then click "add this avatar to my profile." and you'll be done. Make sure that the little circle next to "Your image avatar" has been clicked on also, so that it shows a little dot in it.

Need anymore help, let us know.
 
I love the new changes. I really like that navigation menu you added at the bottom where you can jump to any forum

I missed the post where someone thinks it's because they're southern, but if that's what they said and meant.....

:wacko: That's classic!!
 
Ok, I found the option to allow image attachments. I thought it was turned on by default...but it's ok now. :)

Yes, I'll get to the smilie faces in a minute...

Nate, yeah I use Linux.
 
just noticed that you are member 2 paul? what does the 5 car think of this? hehe
 
I've never used it before but I like learning new stuff.

Erm, was it supposed to vote when I clicked on View Results? :blink:
 
Ok, I've looked around, kicked the tires and checked out the restroom. I'm feeling more comfortable. .......Nice wallpaper, soft carpeting, furniture, sturdy and comfortable. ......Looking good. Just one complaint. We need bigger mirrors and more lighting in the ladies room. ....Paul, if you're free this weekend, will you come redecorate my place? :p
 
<whew> Thanks for putting the browse feature back up!! Us illiterates feel smart when we've got something we know how to utilize!!

;)

(I'm speaking only on behalf of myself. Not calling ANYONE else illiterate)

For a nominal fee, sure.
 
I tried to find my avatar,But It must have been lost in the shuffle. :huh:
 
It's getting more and more familiar. I do think it's a lot faster. The only thing that is different now that I can see is the quick reply at the bottom of the thread page. Other than that, it's the same as most of the other forums I use.
