Think Positive: What we love about the new place

[Jayelle]

Okay, so, there are some things that aren't around anymore (like Stoned Kermit) and somethings are a bit off (I meant to hit "Submit" not "Preview"!), but there are some better things, and I think we should think positive!

I'm loving:
-the polls (oooh, pretty)
-the "go to your post OR go to the menu" option,
-this smilie -->
-the "new posts" actually works
-PMs are glitchless
-a chance to start fresh (new memberlist!)

[Young Val]

i love all of the above as well as:

-the ability to look at all posts by a member will make searching for specific posts that i have made (something i do frequently) a LOT easier, if still time-consuming.


so i lied. it TOTALLY says when you edit a post.

[anonshadow]

Hmm. I also like the blank memberlist. It feels so clean.

I also like the fact that the URL has changed, so the really stupid people nobody likes might not find their way back here.

While the glitchless PM system isn't applicable to me NOW, I am going to be so grateful when I need to PM two people in the space of 24 hours.

as i mentioned to john just a bit ago: "that new BB smell"

[Hegemon]

I really, really love the fact that we can see new posts... Really love it... That actually bugged me most in Ye Olde.

Nice to have the PM system working once more.

The banner doesn't have the little new post icon in it. This makes me quite happy.

[Virlomi]

I like that it gives me ways to contact a person under each post.

I just a had a horric thought, though... does the new board post birthdays?

[Petra]

Random: The title of this thread reminds me of one of my favourite webcomics, Something Positive.

[Claire]

I think PWEB needed this jumpstart- things are going a bit faster now for sure.

[steph]

Seriously faster! I'm trying to finish reading so I can go to bed, but you people keep posting, therefore keeping me from my soft pillow and my husband cuddling! Darn you pwebbers!! I'm going to bed!

[Eaquae Legit]

I love that when I registered, the password I submitted was the password I got. That always annoyed me, before.

[Rei]

I'm kind of glad that all of my first Bob posts are gone. It's a good kind of clean slate feeling.

[ratesjul]

Mmmm, clean slate.

I'm loving that we're ALL newbies! And later we can all point and laugh.

[Yebra]

Ah the newbie rush...I have an instinctive desire to bait Leto into an argument.

...lolz

[Jebus]

Does anyone want to know what my favourite bands are? I can't help but feel that you do.

[Jebus]

as i mentioned to john just a bit ago: "that new BB smell"

That doesn't quite describe it. It's like moving into a new house and watching as more and more of your old furniture is added.

[mr_thebrain]

Oh, is that all we are to you? old furniture?

sheesh.

[ratesjul]

I think I'd rather be Furniture than funiture.

[anonshadow]

I just a had a horric thought, though... does the new board post birthdays?

I don't think so. *shudders*

[Rei]

...and there was much rejoicing.

*runs*

[anonshadow]

*chases with a pitchfork*

RAWR!

[Rei]

Run away! Run away!

[anonshadow]

Oh, come back here and get what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!

[lyons24000]

I like how there is no flood limit!

[anonshadow]

YES. I hadn't even thought about that until now, but YES. God, I hated the flood limit.

[Jebus]

I rarely encountered a problem with the flood limit, but I suspect it was quite useful if there are people who did have a problem with it.

[anonshadow]

It made me lose long posts in the religion forum!

[Jayelle]

There actually is a flood limit, it's just alot shorter.

[anonshadow]

There is??

Huh. How much time is it?

[Hegemon]

10 seconds. That might be changed though.

[Jayelle]

Oh! I've discovered more stuff I love.

- you can just highlight the stuff you want to italicize or bold and click the button and it puts the code around it. Niiiice.

- you can sort the memberlist by "top ten posters" and it's way easier to sort.

[Hegemon]

We also get to see the number of members. I don't think we could before.

[powerfulcheese04]

It weirds me out a little because this is the exact same format (though different color scheme) as my MOB message board.

I miss kermit.

Yes, not positive. But that's ok.

[Hegemon]

I am working on bringing stoned kermit back.. I think I am close to doing it, but...... well.. we'll see

[zeroguy]

I like that my old posts as a younger lad are no longer here. (Now it's only slightly harder for people to find them.)

I also like how it's mostly the same, really. Well, the forum, that is. The feel is pretty similar, with that little touch of new board smell.
