Websleuths is MOVING to a new home

[CARIIS]

(snipped)
there is, CARIIS!
New Threads/ Recent Threads/ Latest Replies are there in a right sidebar.

also New Posts is at the top ... well it was, looks like it was changed to Recent Posts

aww ... that was so nice of you to say. :facepalm: I don't sleep much (not for lack of trying) but I love to play outside, and digging in dirt is my passion.





(snipped)
harumph! I do get the shovel out once in a while... or slide a furry buddy across the wood floors to catch the dust --- they think it's a game. :hug:

Can you train Lady Love Bug to do that with the vacuum -- that would be great!

Actually my biggest wish would be for her to clean the bathroom tiles and do the oven and the windows and make the bed (hate that)....

You can call the class Turn your furry friend into a maid in 10 easy lessons

ah to dream !

Is starting anew thread easy?

Is mailbox storage different?

Really hope a video can be done -where it is done slowly ha

Googled it (nothing came back ) what does mean ": D"

: D was suppose to be

But I spilled a cup of coffee on my keyboard and it became mush... It's a struggle to type.


I also can't seem to successfully put video links in my posts even with a non-mushy keyboard, AND I hate bedmaking.

Just a note about signatures. They are limited to three lines of text.

You may embed media from the following sites: Dailymotion, Facebook, Liveleak, Vimeo, and YouTube

The new rich text editor formatting boxes allow you to insert quotes, codes, spoilers and strike-through.

You can upload files by taking a photo or video, from your photo library, or by browsing your recent documents or folders

You can insert url links which is very convenient.

:trout: Those moving things in an avatar were so distracting and annoying. No, no. No. (Sorry, Niner. They aren't good for some of us, though. Really :blushing: )

I’m sorry too niner but the last I read is that animated GIFS are disallowed.

Tricia, all the best tomorrow as WS moves to a new home!

I'm sorry too and totally agree, I would adjust to read so I wouldn't see moving avatar, which sometimes hard to do so would hurry up to read response. And very long signatures are cumbersome. All IMHO.

I like that this current forum has the option to turn off people's signatures so that you don't see them at all... does anyone know if knew forum has that option?

I personally don't like having to scroll through signatures over and over while reading threads.

 

[Niner]

Oh sorry to hear that people had problems with the "moving" avatars! I kind of enjoyed them!

Well, I guess when we move - I'll be in mid-swing! Guess I'll have to change it....

I am with you. The signatures are often thought provoking and I enjoy reading some of them but they are sometimes irritating to see again and again. I started off with a signature but quickly deleted it and turned everyone else’s off too.
I’m listing what I see on beta. So, basically the answer is yes, you can still turn them off.

Under your Preferences tab are:
Options

• Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply...
◦ and receive email notifications of replies
• Use the rich text editor to create and edit messages
• Use the Flash-based uploader to upload attachments
• Show people's signatures with their messages
• Show your online status This will allow other people to see when you are online.
◦ Show your current activity This will allow other people to see what page you are currently viewing.
Notices

• Restore dismissed notices Any notices you have previously dismissed will be restored to view if you check this option.

I believe the beta goes down tonight or maybe in the am, I’m not sure. But...if anyone has questions while it’s still available to me I’ll try to help. Please keep in mind what I see is still the beta version and not the upgraded version ready for release. There are undoubtedly changes made that aren’t viewable to me. I’ll tell you that Tricia and Dave were closely listening to the testers, discussing and making changes daily. I think I must have drove Dave crazy a bit but his patience and professionalism overcame my dumb questions and maneuvers. He taught me a lot just by reading his replies.

Are you on a PC, katydid? Passwords are saved in a somewhat hidden file there. Try this and see if you csn find it (be sure to click the "show passwords" when you get to the page):

[FONT="][FONT="]Tools>Options>Security(left column)>passwords>Saved Passwords (bottom right) click Show Passwords[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="]====[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="][/FONT]
[/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="]or Click Security Panel, Click Saved Passwords=[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="]Password Manager opens, view & delete passwords[/FONT][/FONT]

I am not on a PC. On a Mac laptop...Thanks for trying to walk me through it.


I was going to log out to see if I could figure out what the password was, but seems it might be worse if I was logged out when we went down?

You can see your passwords under Settings>Account & Passwords>App & Website Passwords>Websleuths. It will open a new window when you hit the Websleuths that will tell you your password.

THANK YOU....:loveyou:

You are absolutely awesome Spellz. You helped us all through the whole process. It was so much fun figuring out the conversations with you and the others. I’ll be following you in our new home. Don’t worry, I’m very tiny - you’ll hardly notice me, but I’ll be there.

Hi Tricia,
When I tried the beta version a few weeks ago on my galaxy note I was unable tomake the screen zoom in and out with my fingers like I currently can,I did not see the Quick Links tab and I could not see the Settings where I could customizeto 100 posts per page. I was seeing like 20 large size posts per page which were not resizable making viewing cumbersome and not workable for my device. Has this been changed is there a way I can still use this version which is working just fine now with my device? Thank you!!

 

[Deleted member 221026]

I just now see you Sorrell, don’t think for a minute you can hide. You’re stuck with this group. Locked together, you might say. There's no escape, my friend.

nice work! Glad you have it ready to go now, katydid!

I'm looking forward to the move. There are some features in the new software that I really like:

1. The 'alerts' feature that tells you when someone has replied to a post you've made or has posted a comment in a thread you're 'watching'

2. The 'tag' feature that alerts you when someone has tagged you in a post (similar to the 'tag' feature on FB)

3. The 'conversation' feature where you can chat with up to five other people, but it looks just like the regular threads (instead of the pm feature we have now)

4. The ease with which we're able to post youtube videos and pics - sooo easy!!!

5. The 'undo' and 'redo' button when posting a comment

There may be more bells & whistles that I like, as well, but those are my top five that I can think of right now.

I'm glad I volunteered to beta-test. Not only did I get to know some awesome posters, but it eased my anxiety about moving to the new software. I feel at home there already!

That is super cool, ima.grandma! I will try not to dust you off the screen. Sure hope you are feeling great now. :loveyou:
