Joseph, give us a chance to apply the plug-ins, etc.. All Proboards are going to have to change by the end of April ... we've been given no choice. The same people are here, the same discussions and messages are here, it's just a little more complicated. I've found it's a lot easier to click the Category lines and collapse them for whatever skin (theme) you're using. it compacts each Category's Topics under the category bar. When it's done, a text notice will tell you if there are new messages in that category. You can click the Category line again to expand the section and the Topics with new messages will be identified for you. You can choose what you want to read and then close everything up again and go on the the next Category. it allows us to manage the site better and helps us keep up with the various discussions. I'd love to know everybody has tried this and it would be great to get some feedback. Don't want you to be unhappy but all ProBoards sites are going this way, so getting used to it is half the battle.

We're having to do the best we can to make this seem like the previous version. Like all programming, it takes a little time and debugging. The important factor here is the membership. It's the people that make JT what it is.

How come you guys still have Karma?? And it looks like only admins can exalt? I was hoping you could tell us that, Icey!

I think the word, Sugi, is coping!

I think as you use it more, you'll feel better about it, Joseph. I had members just as against it a couple of weeks ago, and now a lot of them are saying that it feels like it's always been this way.

OK, now what's changed? I now seem to be missing the toolbar above the text box when composing posts. I've not changed any settings here. Any ideas?

Try refreshing the page and also making sure you're still logged in. I got popped off line several times yesterday. I heard from Jessiealan and she is having trouble getting online and thinks it's because she hadn't taken time to change her listed email when she changed from Yahoo to Hotmail. She has re-registered so maybe that's fixed. Little bugs here and there.

What's happened to Ping & Ding on this Thread ? I found Ping on the other threads.

That's a good question, Sug. We took the ding off because the ping will be used to add points won in the various quizzes and we didn't want to encourage too much serious rivalry. However, I don't understand why there's no ping!
Shall go have a look.

Ah, I think there's intermittent problems with the new board - yesterday I again lost the toolbar, & I see that it's not yet returned... Ditto regarding 'ping', as with Sug

Probably.
I don't have a ping on this thread but seem to have it elsewhere. Very random. I went in and checked the plug-in which seems to be intact and set correctly. Fingers crossed it will clear up everything on it's on. If not, off to PB Support, yet again.

Of course I will, Sug. I don't spend a lot of time there, but there are a lot of very helpful people, and Moon and Virgil are 2 of the most knowledgable, imo.
