Hello,

As you can see, we have put the new bulletin boards live.

The migration went smoothly, though it look at little longer than I expected it to!

If you notice any problems on the boards, please post below.

odd how the banjomick post wasnt visible until i posted.

mpw777,
You're using the new bulletin boards now. They're a complete rewrite, from the ground up, of what we had before. Some additional functionality has been added, however most, if not all of the existing functionality has been implemented, so it shouldn't be to difficult to use.

The advantage of them being alive are that they can be further developed more easily, they consume less resources (smaller HTML pages), and they are able to be run from multiple database servers (that's more of a benefit to us though)

superrod,

The banjomick?!

TullettJ.

Just testing to see if icons appear along side my name --as I have noticed that they are not showing beside mpw777 ---superrod ----banjomick

B-P

If you want icons next to your name, then fill out your profile!

OK (ten lashes for poor old me ----------- lol)

Speaking of which, TJ - my profile is no longer in the pink :)

chocolat,

My Profile (editing) is still in pink?

J.

Nothing to say Kayak? that's unlike you!

Oh it is TJ - which is niiice.
But my profile's disappeared into the ether, which is probably not a bad thing ;)

oh, yes, everything reset during the data migration. :(

Aha! I have now got to grips with how to use the 'chain link' tool.

1. Paste the URL of the pertinent web page into the posting.
2. Highlight it with a mouse swipe.
3. Click on the chain icon.

et 'Voila!'

Sorted!

DocProc,

That is indeed one of the ways the chain link work :)

JT,

In the old format, threads which were important or had reason to be held at the top of the list, had an identifying mark, any chance of restoring it please?
Also how does one identify which posts are mirrored and which are duplicated or single side?
While on that subject, the profile now appears on both sides when entered, was this intentional?

SC

JT,

Any chance of a cancel button from the send e-mail page, to take you back to the position you came from....please

tset test

easy

I'm all confused !

Stormcaller,

I'll look at adding a marker for the blessed threads!

Does it matter which threads are on both boards? do they really need to be identified specifically?

And yes, it's intentional that the profile appears on both sides. Having it uniform makes it easier for everyone :)

I'll see if a cancel button is possible too (surely just clicking 'back' works?)
