    Posting

    [​IMG]
    You can copy and paste pictures directly into your replies (right-click a pic somewhere on the Internet, click Copy Image, then in your reply box right-click and hit Paste)

    -You can also drag and drop pictures directly from you computer into your posts

    -You can tag other members and they'll get notifications that you mentioned them. Prefix their username with an @ symbol. Like @tcBob

    [​IMG]
    You can quote specific parts of someone's post by highlighting just the part you want quoted

    -In the reply box, you can click the Camera picture to drop in pictures right from your gallery

    -As you type a post, your draft gets saved every 30 seconds automatically. So if your computer crashes or you accidentally close the site, you can come back and your last saved draft for that thread or conversation will be waiting for you

    -Private Messages are now called Conversations (top-right of the page).

    -You can upload files into conversations, which only yourself and the person you're talking to can view

    [​IMG]
    Any Private Messages you sent to yourself in the past will now be listed as having the recipient Note-To-Self Bot. If you never sent yourself anything, he won't be in the "Filter by User" list.


    Gallery & TW Live

    -You can create separate albums in your gallery to help you better organize your pics

    -Pics sent to TW Live will now go in an album called Live, in your personal gallery

    -When sending a pic to Live, putting "FAT" or "fat" as the only text of the message will prevent it from being shown in the TW Live thread, but will still place it in your gallery. FAT is an acronym for For Another Thread

    Please bring back Print View. I'm on a slow connection, and it takes forever to view a page with all the graphics having to be downloaded.

    Yeah it's not a radical change. But the old software wasn't supported anymore (and the newer versions of it went to shit after being bought out by a large company). So we upgraded to new software that's very well supported.

    I had to log in after being a member for years. When I figured out what my pass word was - after not using it for years - I ended up here so I guess that is why I had to log in. Where are the little icon things like the dancing pickle ? Thanks.

    Looking good sir! I can't seem to find the forum read style options. In particular reading most recent first.

    Features OK. Display not so much. Too much white, narrow font. Makes screen too bright. Hard to read, and will lead to eye strain. Previously page icons too small ... Many user issues. Larger font, darker background would help. Don't like it at all.
