iboats.com Message Boards Upgrades

[Admin5]

Hi everyone. Sorry about being down for as long as we were. We did not expect to be down for more than 20-30 minutes. As you can see the boards are pretty much the same with just a few new cool features such as allowing you to preview a post before making it go live.<br /><br />If you do not want people to see where you have been in the new Recent Visits feature, just click on the my profile link above and then on "View/Update Profile" and then in the "Your Preferences" section at the bottom click on Yes for "Hide from Recent Visitors feature?"<br /><br />As always, thanks to everyone who contribute so much to these boards! Have a very nice Easter weekend everyone.

First I thought NO! WHY? Then I thought it is okay. I'm a member. I visit this this forum a lot. So why not. Sometimes i wonder who else is here often. Now we can see that. I think it's cool. Don't turn them off.<br /><br />You have a nice Easter weekend too!<br /><br />Thanks<br />/Bear

Hi Admin5<br /><br />The new upgrades to the board certainly made me stop and think a while. As a registered user, the visiting public will now be able to see what I'm looking at and where I am on the board... It does take a while to get your head around in terms of the loss of privacy - but then it does make the board more interesting to know who's around and who's read a particular post.<br /><br />Because I think it adds value to the board, I've chosen not to "hide" from this feature. I hope others will take a positive view to it also.<br /><br />I think it's one of the laws of I.T. that upgrades ALWAYS take longer than expected. Even more so if you're under pressure to be quick...<br /><br />Happy Easter to you too!<br /><br />P.S. The addition of a spell checker would be a cool feature!

Ahoy, Admin5. I like the new and improved features.<br /><br />If I wanted to hide from anybody I wouldn't use my real name, now would I? <br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB

Hey Admin 5,<br /><br />Got a question for you: When I move the mouse pointer over the "edit" icon above my posts, the little tool tip displays "edit/delete post". If I accidently double-post, how do I delete the second post???<br /><br />Thanks,<br />-John

John<br />You can't delete the second post, but you can use the edit function and delete all the text. The post will still appear......but it'll be empty.
