Troubles under new posts

[Jeremy]

OK, things seem to be working great, once I got used to the new format (took about 30 seconds). Now I have to get used to a new forum and a new browser... I upgraded to Firefox this morning.

I think the new look is fab .. unless I can't see the wood from the tree's .. how do I access the personal galleries. Derek

[Thistle Stop]

Yeah, where are the galleries???

I'm sure Hank will get everything proper given a little time. Personally, so far I like the new software.

Looks NICE! Now if only other sites would be this nice... Hank?

also... having a little trouble with the faces... should they be inserted into the text where they're "put" (clicked on while typing)? And... we're only allowed 1 face per post.

Hi Rocky! Let me try to field this one for Hank.

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.

Voila! You know have full What You See Is What You Get text entry, with the ability to add smilies to your messages. Easy-peasy, once you know where to look, eh?

You're eating this up, Mike :-P

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

As Bubba has mentioned, all things in good time, I'm sure.

In Hank's defense, he is now at the helm of an incredibly powerful Administrator's Control Panel. One of the more daunting areas is a panel that establishes permissions for the entire forum. Each forum section has multiple switches that will determine who can and cannot view that section, who can and cannot post in that section, who can and cannot edit posts in that section, etc. A forum of this size likely has something in the vicinity of 3,000+ forum permission switches. And that doesn't even touch on all the individual user permission switches. Or the individual usergroup switches. It can be pretty overwhelming, in and of itself. If you don't believe me, look at all this grey hair.

Be patient and Hank will get it all up and running, he's a good lad. ;)
