As I'm working through some technical issues, I'd appreciate any feedback you have on your experience with this new board.

Especially at this point I'm interested in finding things that are broken or performing too slowly. This morning I re-wrote part of the "View Active Threads" feature so that should be a lot faster now. I still haven't done much work with the search feature on this new board. Other thoughts I have include improving the main summary page so it's easier to see all new posts rather than just the most recent response. I purchased the source code for this thing, so pretty much anything is possible to customize. Just let me know.

Hi Corey,

Is it really 7:04AM? :)

Am I the only one whose clock is off an hour?

~selah

OH, and is there an "away" feature I don't know about?
Y'know, a way to be online (in another window or somethin) and let others know?
I have a habit of making the window small, getting involved in something else, and forgetting
it looks like I'm signed on here. IM has this feature...do we? and another thing....and another thing

just kidding

Corey-

Here's a crazy idea.

It's nice to see who is online when you log on. What's the possibility of having a low-maintenane-no-special-features chat box available for online members to talk live?

There's a a bug in the code. It's not adjusting for Daylight Savings Time. I'll look into it.

I'll look into some way to accomplish this in a future phase. First I just want to get the bugs out of this current setup.

I'm pretty sure that the "Who's Online" section is just a summary of who's been clicking around the site in the last 5 minutes (or so). So you don't have to log in, log out to change your status; it's automatic.

Hey Thanks, Corey!

Just testing this out!

Hey Corey, how do I change my pseudonym with keeping my profile and e-mail the same?

Hey Corey & other openers,

I just checked out the open View only thread and based on the discussion on the old board...Anti openers are not invited nor are those who dialogue untactful! Soooo, I was I not included? Have I really been that horrible online to be ostracized from your safe zone? scool DAG!!!

In regards to the "Safe Haven" forum ....

Soooo, [why] was I not included?

Probably just an oversight.

Let me be clear about my relationship to this board: I'm just the geek around here. I don't want to be the moderator, or the inviter, or anything else about making those kinds of decisions. I'm just here to serve in a technologist role.

All it takes to get into the Safe Haven is for some member of that forum to invite you. For now, they do this by asking me to set it up on their behalf.

peace,

Corey

God bless you Corey for all the work you have done to keep the CVM board not only up and running but by showing great potential to go beyond all expectations. hop

Thanks,
Mark

I'm going to have to do some custom work to get those other emoticons moved over to this board. There's some bugs related to this.
You can change your "display name" by going to the Control Panel and then going to Edit Profile.

Hey Administrator,

1. Is this why in my above question the devil did not work for the emotion icon? OR Did I do something wrong in postin the icon?

2. Thanks for the info on changing my pseudonym, God bless ya, truly!

Warmly in Christ,

Tiggers

Hey Corey,

I'm having difficulty adjusting fonts and sizes, particularly with getting a "Courier New size 2." When I preview it, it looks fine, but when it appears on the post, it varies between size 1 and size 3 (I think) and sometimes I actually get size 2. But in one of my posts, half way down it switched sizes.

Thanks for all your hard work!

One other quick question. What are the subscriptions (to threads and topics) about? Seems cool, but does that mean that we receive email from those threads or is it just a random thing that's there?

I'll wait to put up my Avatar until I see what others are doin'. (Dude... start your own trend, right? :P) Until the emoticons are up, I'll just put up the traditional keyboard smilies.

Thanks for that. I hadn't noticed that until now. I'll look into it.

My limited experience while testing this shows that it's actually working as advertised. Everytime someone makes a new post to whichever "thing" you are subscribed to (a reply, a thread, a forum, a board) you will receive an email to let you know. This is helpful mostly for people who don't check the board very often.

Thanks, that's the name I was searching for but couldn't find. I knew it started with "s".

I'm not vouchsafing for all of them, just my faint and dwindling impression. Many of them haven't been around in a while. TGB should provide some feedback, imho.

Personally, I really don't want to talk about Romans 9 from now until the cows come home and not many others were. Those who are truly curious should be welcome but those here to call fire down from heaven on the heretics, I just don't have time for anymore.

surfnturf, no one posts little boxes with red 'x'es in them like you do.

Keep up the good work.

Yes emotions are a little unreliable, darn programmers.
