Anyway, the new forums are good, but one thing that really annoys me is that I can never stay logged in, even if I check the "log me in automatically" box. Is this happening to everyone else or is it a problem at my end? I have cookes enabled in Explorer so I can't think of any reason it might be happening.

Same thing happened to me but sporadically and has been driving me nuts. The spyware may be the solution because my wife turns it off from time to time to download songs. I think it has the ability to specify certain websites that aren't policed. We try to leave it running because my son isn't as concientious in his efforts at scanning files he downloads as we are.
One thing I liked in the old forum... When I saw that there was a new post in the Index Forum and would go to that thread, it would jump automatically to the first new post, even if there were 5 or 10 new posts in the thread. Does the new forum have that ability and I just don't have a box checked or something.
The search abilities of the new forum seem far better to me.
Once the old forum has been transfered in entirity, will this forum replace the old on the homedistiller drop down menu for forum? And will the chat portion of homedistiller ever be working again or is that gone for good?

Grayson, I miss that ability to jump to the first un-read post, too. It was really neat.
Sometimes it is awkward not being able to reply to a specific post, too.
Anyway, it is great having this board so lovingly re-created.
BTW, I am embarrassed to say I have not figured how to use those little faces, yet. javascript:emoticon(':oops:')
Embarassed
Dragging and dropping produces unwanted code as well as the face (see above). Copying and pasting doesn't work, either. The FAQ doesn't tell me. ?????

I pretty much echo the sentiments of many of the other people on this board. At first there were some definate drawbacks to the new forum, but after a little adjusting(a little from me and a little from the forum), things seem to be going quite well.

AK,
You have yours saved at http://homedistiller.org/forum/images/a ... 57cda7.jpg ???
Looks like it is only 28 x 30 pixels too.

Hey, I just realised, you can. Instead of clicking on the title of the post, click on the little picture of the arrow pointing to the orange piece of paper. Then it takes you directly to the first unread post.linw wrote:Grayson, I miss that ability to jump to the first un-read post, too. It was really neat.

Thanks for that, PD., that will be really good.
Two more questions seeing as what you seem to have got this sussed! How are you supposed to get the smiley faces embedded without the code crap? And secondly, how do you get the quote in the white box?
I have tried to find out but the FAQ is absent on these topics! I am sure in two seconds you can save me much stuffing around.
TIA.

@ linw, when you use the faces in your post you have to be careful not to use other punctuation directly behind the codes other wise the codes get messed up.
Second, I think the reason that you did not get the "linw said" beside the "white quote" box is possibly because you quoted yourself.

Nope!!Second, I think the reason that you did not get the "linw said" beside the "white quote" box is possibly because you quoted yourself.
I feel so that I can't get this when most other folk can!!! I will be so
if someone can tell me how to do it!
What I am doing is clicking the "Quote" box then pasting the quoted portion then clicking the Quote box again to give the end quote tag.

person being quoted wrote: then it should work. When you add the =" person being quoted" then the name will appear.

@linw, I don't have an answer to that question. All I know is that when I hit the quote button it automaticaly displays the ="person being quoted". I noticed that if you remove this part of the code then it just says "quote" so I thought that may be your problem. Like I said when I hit the quote option it appears that way on the reply screen. If yours doesn't then I don't know.

@linw, are you possibly coping and then pasting in the reply box. Then adding the Quote codes? Then it would make sense that you have to add the additional code. If this is the case and you only want to quote part of a previous post then use the "quote" button and in the new reply box just delete all the text you don't want to have in your "quote".

Well, dang me, I didn't latch on to the Quote button on the message, itself. Don't know how I missed that! It now becomes clear!

I really love the new format, but it is pretty slow, kinda gets annoying. I don't have much patience.
Also, If anyone wants avatars or smileys, this is a great place to get them for free...
