Hope everyone had a very good New Year ( hic ) .
Sorry forum developers but I think you have a way to go here.
Where are the Icons?? I don't mean the icons below where you post as they are only to be posted at the title of your thread and not emotion icons.
I believe you ( the developers of this forum ) need to lay off the sauce, lol. Except for the color of this forum which isn't bad, the rest of it really stinks.
Common you can do better.
Well at least you knew it was LostGunner, UBI sure doesn't. HEY UBI ( yeah I'm hollering! ) DELETE THE "Elder-Pirate" BIT for it is LostGunner" PLEASE,PLEASE and PLEASE. Geese some peoples kids.
You can not set the text to "BOLD' or "under line etc. Also the emoticon icons have disappeared except for a few you can put at the beginning of a new thread ( big deal ).
Have you noticed that every once in awhile in the bottom right hand corner of the block you are typing in a sign shows up momentarily : Auto-Saved. Whats with that?
I set my computer text size to 125% just to read the text. Kid's that programed this new forum must have the eyes of a hawk.
Forty5-Seventy how about knocking on elbmek's door, I'd like to hear ( read) his comments of this new forum.
And a Happy New Year to you also Forty5-Seventy, hope everything goes well for you. ( thumbs-up )
The new forum is still a work in progress, it'll get better. But I'm sure you'd agree its better to have them available (even though they look like this) than staying offline even longer.
You can go to settings (top right of the page, next to log out button), go to general settings, scroll all the way down to Miscellaneous Options and enable the "Advanced Editor". It will let you change font size, bold text etc. Makes life a little bit easier.

Sorry but they should have stayed off the Internet UNTILL it is all fixed!
Don't believe me? well just look how many threads there are on this forum except this one. FC2 may be on it's way out for some people but if this new forum was put together better than it is so far the threads would be over flowing. Heck people don't under stand this new stuff yet and are not even bothering to post and I do not blame them
If it wasn't for a few friends here I would not bother either, forum wise not FC2 wise for I personally love the game.
This is crazy for two times now I tried to edit the above post and try for the larger type only to get the dreaded "SEND OR DON"T SEND".
I'm typing this post on a #5 font and typing in between the two words "SIZE-5 and SIZE ( don't want to duplicate them for fear I'll be seeing "Send or Don't Send" again.
If this does increase the font size it sure is corny and the programmer needs to return to school.
Here goes.
OK for the FOURTH time maybe this post will get through without the dreaded "Send Don't Send".
I do not like the way you have to type in between the words SIZE-2 and SIZE for that's one good way for me to stay OFF this forum and any UBI forums for now they are all alike.
A few minutes ago I had a post ready and all I did was add a smiley and the dog-gone post crashed. YEP "Send or Don't Send"
Sorry but I'll not be hanging my hat here until you people ( UBI ) get it straight.
Yo!! Did ya miss me, hey, did ya, really? Did you? Been quiet on the old sand dunes of late. I have been sitting on islands in the lake Seh something or other blatting anything that past. Is this forum going to be any better. Not up to now it ain't. My cursor keeps vanishing, What software is thas on? My backspace keeps vanishing every time I make a typo, typoe, typo.... I press left button to returen to a misplet werd and it isnt there!
Oh well, I suppose it was a dream, sorry UBI I told you to get invision, its solid and brilliant and CHEAP!
oh yeah, nearly forgot - when I changed over software from one forum, vBulletin to Invision, it took less than an hour why did this take UBI the time its takes the Milky Way to complete one revolution?
LG why dont you start one off on a phpbb forum or something?
Yeah I missed ya.
Three times now I've noticed the wrong time for my side of the world as I logged in ( or rather I tried ) " [ GMT-6:00 ] Central Time ( US and Canada ), Mexico" and I just checked in "My Profiles" and it is still listed that way and the correct time is now listed BUT in order for it to appear correctly I had to first go to my profile. I did not have to enter anything I just had to bring up my profile page in order for it to show the correct time and date. Also no emails are sent to me for the thread I've posted on. IT IS posted corectly in my profile but not working.
Why is it that a Moderator will insist things are OK when they are really ALL not? They'd NEVER want me to be a Moderator for I'd be on a plane for France. ( Nuff said ).
elbmek's quote: LG why dont you start one off on a phpbb forum or something? Could be a good idea but I wouldn't know Apples from Oranges as where to start but anything would be better than this forum setup sofar.
elbmek I'd ask you to go to a private message but that's tore up to. I was going to give you my e-mail addy.
Well maybe someday before I die UBI just might get on the ball but I'll not put any wagers on it.![]()
Elder-Pirate aka LostGunner... AKA??? I wish I Had two names. :-)
This my second attempt to post a reply, see how it goes. Still looking at itty-bitty print. What a pain in the posterior...
elbmek: Yeah I missed ya too. I appreciate your knowledge of why things are not as they should be here. Doesn't mean I understand a thing about what you're talking about though!
