Ginny, I was having the problem too. You explained it very well, thank you!

Now, what about the magnifying glass? That's new to me.

P.S. Ginny, love your sweet Westie pic!

Todd- Is it possible to show the dates as month/day/year instead of day/month/year?

No. You "may" be describing an anonymous user.

An invisible user is one who is logged in and for any number of legitimate reasons may prefer to not be listed in the "Who's Online" box. They accomplish this by choosing the "Hide" option in "my preferences". This is found under the "My Stuff" menu in the forum header near the top of the page.

Todd, the new board is wonderful! With the exception of the Shout Box and Calendar, it's almost identical to other boards I frequent.

I especially love the feature where when I click on a thread, it automatically takes me to the first unread message in that thread. No more scrolling around to find where you left off reading. Saves a lot of time. I will probably always stay logged in and only log out when needed to reset something.

The board is very readable. The only other thing I'll say is to add me to the list of those who'd perhaps prefer a color scheme other than beige and white. I'm not referring to the stylesheet option of using "dark" .... just prefer something like the blue and white or blue/gray of the former board. But if that's not possible, this is certainly something I can adjust to.

Hi Teresa,
I am obviously not Todd, but I can help you with this one. Go to the top of the page (the darker green stripe) and click on "My Stuff" and "My Preferences" the scrill down and there will will be a choice of different date formats. Make sure to save your selections.

Barb, where is the magnifying glass that you're referring to?
!

Jay, under my stuff, my preferences, the fifth (I think) item down lets you choose to have the info on the top or the side. Haven't found anything about the stuff on the side yet though. But, then, I kind of like that stuff!

Is there a way to turn off all the mini boxes on the left hand side? I'd rather have a full screen to read the board, then have the little boxes with who's on line, shout, calendar, search and forum stats.

Also, in preferences, there is a place where you can select info on top or to the side. I thought this might do it, but I don't see any changes.

thanks

Is there a way to edit an old post? I changed my avatar and now the description doesn't match the picture.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here's another question: who decides which "smiley" shows up next to the member's name? There is a happy smiley next to mine, but other people have the gray unsmiling "smiley". Are the smilies indications of number of posts, or something like that? I'm confused.
