Updated board program

[Devils Horse]

Peter, Thanks for your hours of effort. I know what it's like to have a 'down production system' and it ain't all that much fun.

Hey Peter,

So far, most of the board is great.

The only thing I would ask is that when you click on the "view all" it no longer shows you the posts in the order that they were posted. Not a big deal, and in some ways it is a little easier to follow because it seems that using the "view all" now has the responses under the message the person responded to. That sounds confusing, so let me try to explain.

Peter posted first (from here out is just an example)
redneck posted second to peter
geo posted third to redneck
I post fourth to Peter
Slop then posts fifth to me
Dave Stewart then posts sixth to Slop
Redneck then posts to Peter
Then Grumpy posts to Dave.

That then would be the order the posts were displayed on the old board when you click "view all", now it seems it doesn't do it that way, but it says which message it replies to, so this helps understanding the context of a reply, plus even though I have to double check, it seems that the posts are shown in the order they are replied to.

Now as for the guy who was talking about making topics appear read. If you read the first post, you see links to the replies. If you click on these links while looking at the first post, and then go back to the main page, it does not appear you read those other posts. That's the way the other board worked, and I think that is what the guy is referring to. My suggestion is click each topic, and hitting esc. to stop your browser. Once you have clicked on them all, then click on view all, and read them all at once. Then they all show as read when you go back to the main page.

Danny,

If you will call me (I can callyou back, free Long distance) when you have about 5 minutes, I can change a few settings and let you look at the results. Sounds like you know what to look for and can determine the most logical wan to display the posts. There are also a coplle other settings I would like you to look at.

The post order is confusing. I think they should be chronological and the poster can quote the specific response if needed.

[peter]

looking into it

I like it, do we have the ability to post pics now?

[peter]

for now 50 K.

post a couple. I would like to have all the photos in one forum so people looking for information don't have to weed through them. But we'll decide that later.

[peter]

I turned chronological order on. Did that make any difference?

[Danny]

Sorry, I had to be out yesterday.

I've only got a few minutes now, can I call you this afternoon?


Thanks,

Danny

How come when I type a reply and add hard returns in to create paragraphs and make it more readable, the returns go away?

(I hit return twice before these parentheses)

I like the new board just fine but I agree with fishgurl in that it is stripping out returns so that all of your paragraphs run together. That's a nice thing to be able to space out your response into sections for readability. Is that an option available (not strip returns)?
