It appears we have lost the shading or indents that used to characterize quoted posts. It seems to me to be harder to tell where a quote ends and a poster's comments begin.

some of the .gif emoticons are not showing up either.
nevermind the my comment on quotes, ithe offset is there now apparently
it seems its the Pre-upgrade quotes that lack the formatting maybe? Are you saying those will eventually get corrected? I think I will go down to the test area to see what is new and play with it.
GT, do you expect the gallery avatars will come back too, or do I need to start shopping for my own? I don't even know where I got that judge's hammer thing I used.
by the way, everyone, your control panel is now up there where you see your screename at the top of the page. click on your name for a dropdown list.
hey! this upgrade already has gone better than EA's thing with Facebook Scrabble. YOu should be able to get a job there at EA. I will write you a dandy recommendation. Thanks for getting my avatar back I didn't recognize myself.
I was wondering where the avatars went, and couldn't figure out how to reply with a quote. Opening the site in Firefox instead of IE6 solved those problems. Unfortunately, all of my bookmarks are in IE. I suppose I can upgrade to version 7.

The upgrade isn't really done yet. Just done enough to allow people in again. This was a major upgrade with software that is really not ready for prime time. There will be issues. If you find any,

Excie - it might be that you're waiting too long to edit a post. As far as the PM function goes, When I hit on the little envelope which is the icon for a PM under a person's avatar, the main scree

Apparently another issue is that the forum has forgotten which threads/posts you've already read. Not sure I can do anything about it.
Chat room is offline also for a bit. It's on the todo list.

emoticons are an issue. I'll look into it.
All the posts are being rebuilt. It's about 25% done, quite a ways to go. I'll wait until tomorrow to address any formating issues in posts.
Thanks for the feedback.

I believe the pre-upgrade quoted text will be corrected by the morning.
Hopefully the emoticons are working again. Little buggers thought it was time for a coffee break....

Didn't realize we lost some of the stock avatars. I'll see if I can hunt them down too. Probably in the back room drinking spiked coffee....
They were --- the lazy bums.

Love the upgrade. Nice, Pawtucket :)
Oh, gosh, I've messed up my signature and don't know how to fix it :(
In any event, Happy Sunday (since you aren't a father yet, or at least to my knowledge).

I ran a routine to rebuild everyone's signature. I then manually fixed yours. Is it me or is it still not showing up right?

Thanks should go to GT, he's been the one that downloaded the entire forum, backed it up, upgraded and now is tweaking the whole thing.

My picture (avatar) doesn't seem to be there. Guess it needs to be re-loaded.
This all looks so different....
Ooh, like the Smileys box!

Oh. Now I posted this...the picture is there. Guess it must go and grab information when somebody posts the first thing in this new format.

Gosh, I see it's three years since I joined the Cafe. Three years of getting my head back together. It's gone by quicklyl

I see the status bar on the right, but can't see how to post on it.
Is it right in front of me?

You can set your status at the top of your profile page. Clicking on your name in the upper right and selecting Profile should get you there.
Chat is installed but not working yet.
Shoutbox is installed but not working yet. Check that. Working now.

I note that when I select text and use the size control, the resulting text is a lot smaller thatn it used to be. For example,
This is Size = 2
which should be bigger than normal text, but appears to be much smaller.

Looks like the icon for Go to last unviewed post is working properly now. Thanks.
This "fast reply" box is good, too.

It looks like they may have changed the meaning of the size numbers. Not sure, never really used them much myself.
Size = 1
Size = 2
Size = 3
Size = 4
Size = 5
Size = 6
Size = 7
Don't think it's a bug -- more of a new way of handling font sizes.
