#3 of 4247 No editting of posts by Sylvia STAFF Dec 15, 2000 (2:30 pm)
No editting of posts. Once you post it, it will live forever...unless you delete it. RE: The Hosts read all of the discussions. If you were to change your post (say for the sake of discussion) to something objectionable after they had already read the post, it would not flag it to be "read again" by the Hosts. It would also allow people to go back and change their posts. That can sometime disturb the flow of the discussion as all of the posts after that are commenting on that original post - not the editted version.
#4 of 4247 Is the "bookmark" feature available with the new software? by kens Dec 15, 2000 (3:23 pm)
Is there anyway to "bookmark" topics like the older software? I couldn't find it in the help section. Thanks.
#5 of 4247 Mmmmm... by fastdriver Dec 15, 2000 (3:51 pm)
I just posted my questions in Talk to the Hosts. However, when I clicked on this topic from my welcome page, where I was already logged in, it said that I had to be logged in to post. I'm beginning to think that ALL the Netscape bookmarks that I just added will NOT work. It seems like EVERY topic I want to go to will have to be accessed from the welcome page and the entire topic list. PLEASE tell me this isn't the case and that I'm doing something wrong! fastdriver
#6 of 4247 How do I find topics I've visited? by guitarzan Dec 15, 2000 (4:03 pm)
These topics cannot be re-ordered by number of new posts, right? In my "miscellaneous settings", that looks like it just might be upgradable to do the above, or add other features. Yes/no?
#7 of 4247 New software by roadroach Dec 15, 2000 (4:04 pm)
Can anyone post what the actual changes are or any new features? Or is it simply a different look? Just how does this make my life any easier? I will say this: I like the fact that the message box that I'm currently typing in is wider. I thought the old one was a little cramped. What happended to all the posts from the last couple of days? And how do I flag just those threads in each conference that I feel like following?
#8 of 4247 Bookmarks/Placemark feature by Sylvia STAFF Dec 15, 2000 (5:16 pm)
No, there is no bookmark/placemark feature. I would hope that in the coming months we can roll in a feature similar to placemarks. However, that said, if we do get such a feature we still would not be able to move in your placemarks from the old system.
#9 of 4247 fastdriver... by Sylvia STAFF Dec 15, 2000 (5:23 pm)
I don't think that is the case, but I will check it out. I think that there is a problem with that particular URL (we are fixing it right now). I will give it a test drive as well.
#10 of 4247 bookmark/placemark is a very important feature by taison Dec 15, 2000 (5:26 pm)
Having bookmarks and placemarks was a great feature. I could check the site from any computer and it would remember the last post I had read. I think that this feature should be implemented again. It allowed me to see at a glance if there were any new posts that I did not read yet. Please find a way to bring this feature back.
#11 of 4247 guitarzan by Sylvia STAFF Dec 15, 2000 (5:27 pm)
The topics will be listed by recent activity (most recently posted to at the top). It will take a few days for this to "settle" in. You can also select how you want the discussions listed by clicking on "Preferences" at the top of the screen next to "Welcome guitarzan". For the topics you have visited...I'm not sure if you are referring to the "View History" list that was in the old system or not. At any rate, "View History" (which showed you everyplace that you had been) was a feature of the old system and you won't have the same feature here (sorry!).
#12 of 4247 roadroach by Sylvia STAFF Dec 15, 2000 (5:32 pm)
You can look in the Help located on the left side to look through what the features are. We purposely did not add any enhancements for the re-launch as we figured the move itself would be traumatic enought! We will be rolling in features to this system once we get the initial bugs out. Many of the features are ones that will compliment your experience in the boards. For example - we now have the ability to "move" a discussion from one board to another. Sometimes a discussion would get started in the wrong place and we couldn't move it so we would have to delete it.
