Phoenix Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I'm slowly learning how to use "mark as read," and clicking on the icons to take me to new posts instead of clicking on the post titles themselves. I even looked up the Firefox shortcut to open a link in a new tab (shift+middle click, if anyone needs it). I'm feeling so old. It's like I'm trying to interact with some newfangled technology. I remember browsing message boards being so effortless before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirondelle Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Yes, I feel that going to the last unread post seems more difficult than it used to be - I forget to click on the button! Also notice this version of ipb software had 3 different views: table grid and fluid. Table is what we are most used to... but fluid pulls everything out of the forums so if you can get used to the difference you might find it easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hmm, yes. I may have to tinker a bit. I feel like there's a couple of bells and whistles here I haven't looked at. Hell, I've barely poked around in the settings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tika Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Yes! I'm not alone in the struggle lol. I felt like a cave person trying to make a video blog. And the forums are easier but I'm still super rusty. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timberwolf Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I was a little like that at first, but I've started getting the hang of it again. One of the nice things it is still accepts BBCode, the only thing I don't like is the fact that I can't see the source code of the BBCode. @hirondelle noticed this, and sometimes it comes in handy, but no matter where I look, there isn't anything for this. There was one thing I found that was supposed to do it, but it messed up everything in the post box, and I think it even messed up one of @Songmistress's posts as she was posting it, and I had to completely reset the post box (tool bar) settings.

Timberwolf Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Maybe I'll put together a how to on BBCode for everybody. If it's wanted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyroCJ Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 What about how to keep this pretty red as my default so I don't always have to change the color? And we need a tongue out reaction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timberwolf Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Nobody has made a plug in for that yet, @PyroCJ. I'll keep my eye out for it, but it's not such a big thing. LOL. As for the tongue out reaction, I'll think about it. LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
