New Boards (Verdict?)

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

The boards no longer seem to refresh on my system, unless I hit CTRL+F5.

Same here. This wasn't happening earlier (or I didn't notice it), but now I don't get any new threads or replys unless I hit CTRL+F5.

All my complaints have been addressed (except that the boards are now HORRIBLY SLOW on my broadband-connected computer). Hopefully that'll get taken care of. Also, I can't actually *type* anything in the Quick Reply box. The reply box thing may be an issue with Mozilla, the browser I use.

As to font size, it is IMHO better than before. However, in Mozilla, I just hit Ctrl and plus or minus to change the text size I see on a page. Neet-o!

Emiricol, you have to click in someone's post on the white button between the "edit" and "reply" boxes before you can use Quick Reply.

The board slowness will disappear; there are some server-intensive processes running in the background, that don't usually happen very often.

LOL! Okay, thanks for pointing that out, PC. Also, glad to hear the speed will improve.

I'm still finding features I like as I go along

My biggest problem with the new boards (other than the posticons) is that Hyperlinks are not being underlined for me.

I don't see it as an option in CP. (if it's there, please point me in the right direction? Thanks)
Hyperlinks being underlined is a standard across the entire internet.
If they've been turned off, please put it back like normal.

I have found that the boards will not keep my login when I close my browser. I checked the box saying to remember my login, but as soon as I close my browser and come back, I have to login again. A bit of a pain. None of the other sites that use cookies to store logins are having troubles on my machine.

The board has speed up and is running at almost normal speed. Still not sure how I like the new feel of the boards, but I'm asjusting.

Actually, it's not a standard, since most web browsers let you turn off underlined hyperlinks. As a personal preference, I don't like underlined hyperlinks. However, you can set it so that the browser default is used, rather then forcing it to underline or not. I think this is what needs to be done.

I turned them off because everyone started compaining about the "new" underlining of hyperlinks. You're right in that they've always been like that and hadn't changed.

*Shrug*

I'm not sure why everyone complained about it either. Since now it's almost impossible to tell (without moving the mouse over) what is a link in someones .sig now. Strange.

Gah. I feel like Captain Kirk did in the first Star Trek movie, when he went aboard the newly refurbished Enterprise and had no idea where anything was.

Things look vaguely familiar, but different at the same time. My head hurts.
