Questions for the new ownership

smilinjohn · 11-20-2007, 03:28 AM

I see that a changing of the guard has taken place. Are those titled as administrator the new permanent leadership, or are they just web-site sitting till other prospective persons can be found. As a senior member (at lest according to my title) I wonder if the ownership is still in flux, which can affect the community as a whole, or if the ownership is more stable, which can also affect the community as a whole?

Also the little smiley face thingies??? I mean where's the banana dance???

Good morning

Yes, those of us with admin titles are staying....Larry is moderator as before, Enrique (my boss) owns the community outright, so the titles under your names will change as you post more. The only thing to have changed is the type of forum software used, everything else is about the same

The smilies show on their own panel when using the full reply option, not on the quick reply option...and there is a clickable link 'more' that will open a full screen window with the full selection on it

I've been to the reply, and of course the quote I'm just not seeing it on my screen I see the "You may choose an icon for your message from the following list:" at the bottom even the attach files, notification type, and rate thread, and the posting rules at the very bottom of the page says the smiles are on, but there is no separate panel or link (as you mentioned) like there USE to be. It's just not there

BTW the smile (or frown) was typed in via my key board

I have emailed Enrique as anything technical is his domain, I'm afraid. Sorry for the inconvenience.

There are three "Message Editor Interfaces" types available to members. You are currently using the "Basic Editor" which is a simple text box.

To switch to the "Enhanced Interface" with full WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editing, please:

1. Click on "Edit Options" under "Settings & Options" in your user control panel.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and change the "Message Editor Interface" option to "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing".
3. Save changes.

Yes there it is

When I first started visiting here we had a time with the banana dance, glad to see it is still accessible. Thanks for the help Enrique
