Oh noes! It broke the laughing and rolling eye emoticons! They're just emotionless little boxes now!

That is what I was wondering about, too. Are the other emoticons that are available for this version going to be enabled for using inside posts. Like just a click on one adds it to the post rather than having to use tags as shown in the "First Look."

I really like the new "Premium Subscriber" icon.

Winner!!! :)


Maybe for you, but for those of us who like an uncluttered look, not so much.


Is there any way to block the new user icons as well? I already block avatars, sigs, etc. I just want to have a clear screen of info and not junk.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but here's what's happening: When I was in any forum and clicked "Forum Tools" then"Mark Forum As Read", it would automatically bring me back one page to the list of forums. Now when I do the same thing, it remains in the same forum thread list. It just started doing this. Did I change something in my settings? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich

Grog,

Figure it out... I dunno what to tell you other than that.

The Wasteland and For Sale Forums omly are getting additional ads due to their usage.

This is probably a behavior change in the new version of the forums software.

I don't know Lindsay, since the Wasteland has moved to the bottom of the forums it seems like the General Scanning forum has more people viewing then the Wasteland now!:)

Before the upgrade the entries in the Active Forum Threads on the home page would take you to the last post in the thread. After the upgrade it takes you to the first post in the thread.

Well you're so helpful :lol:

That's good news on the clutter factor :D I had not seen any mention that the ads were limited to any particular forums, as I only use the "new posts" button I usually do not pay really close attention to where a thread is.

Awesome Updates!! Thank you Lindsay

Is there supposed to be thumbnails for user albums pictures? Not a problem to me but others it might be?
