dialogs are private messages, Real.
As they haven't invented the wheel yet in my neck of the woods, if you're still around Ducky, when you get in is your wall available for all to post on and what info is on there if they can? I don't intend to use mine, but may like to have a go at a blog, but I want it to only be as my username. Ta, Duckytastic one!

Dave--- where have all the new USA people and others come from on LC???
Dialogs cool Real....
some of us have had a play with that... works a treat.
Could be used for Towers or Newmark...but the only problem with it is you can't add new users once the dialog is started.

If you haven't read any of the threads yet BB... they will all be bold for you. Click on one and then come back out and you should see the difference in the titles.
Clicking on the last poster takes you to their profile page.

I am 100% Dirtyprettygirlthing... or Ditty over there .... and Ducks is Duckypup.
Feel free to scrawl on my wall... add me as a buddy or anything....
Oh I typed out such a rant just now about access for all on forums regardless of ability and disability and it disappeared! Just as well perhaps.

Thanks Ditty. Just wanted to know if I have to disable stuff first to keep my details private.
And I will, once I get these privacy issues sorted!

Right... at the moment I have my profile completely open to all so anyone can read and post on my wall.
You can also see my location (UK), gender, birthday (but not year) and join date. That's it.
However... you can choose to make the whole thing private or only available to your friends.
My user name is Duckypup the same as here.... and that's standard for everyone. (I think there is an option to change it if you wish)

I know all that! I asked how does one get to read the last post without having to trawl all through the thread in order to do that. I'm getting quite angry now and this is not like me.

I'm not Ducky but a wall is where FM's can pop in and say Hi. To find your Wall they have to click on your name over there

They are not new. You are new. Livecloud has been there for 3 years now though under the groupee.com name. Look at my blog or the blogs of James or Steven or Sbevis or Lou and you'll see that most of these folks have been with us for a long time.
You think you're confused? Most of these people have been posting to their small group for years, and suddenly one day they got overrun by half the UK. :laughing:

I DID click on a thread. I DID click back to the index page. The thread that I had clicked on was still the same as all the other unread threads on the index page.

O! Thank you so much Ducks! You just answered the only thing I was worried about. That my email address would be available to all rather than if I'd given it. No probs! I'll be off there tomorrow and blunder around like a bull in a china shop/rabbit in the headlights hybrid!

Thank goodness! It would spread like wildfire! 
Looks like I'll just leave all this livecloud thing to you young'uns. 
I only joined the original forum for bb anyway and its dying a death as we stand(so to speak)
See ya all and have fun!

Chatty bunch
Anyway.. re the quote button thing.. don't think anyone likes umpteen nested quotes indenting to the point where the original post is almost just a column of letters but.. but .. I do like the convenience of a single button press to bring up an identified post to quote.. especially as I am often quoting a post from a little earlier in the thread.

I just read through some of this thread - then had a look over the 'other side'. It's getting there - well done to you all and the others who are making suggestions
Morning stupidcupid
I'm not a young 'un, but it looks like it's getting easier over there. There are some good comprimises being made. Stick with it ... us 'mature' 'uns will be okay

just for the record i really do know what im doing over there...im not lost in cyber landmy point is that im looking to post on a forum and although i love you all im not going to 'embrace' a whole new way of posting, not being notified etc, not being able to follow thread etc JUST SO we can stay 'together'. Yes there is going to be a forum bit but from what ive seen today (AND YES I CAN USE IT) its not a good forum and would drive me nuts. its an after thought to a facebook type site.
that is all
i fink im going to retire to my orange bum and make some armour for d.s
I agree with you Gypsie. I've been over at LiveCloud too and its a horrid place. Not what I want. GaGaJoy have a very successful model with the forum they gave us since C4 closed, with no complaints from any FM only praise. I cannot understand why they want to impose something else.
there is a payment option...im thinking thats got a lot to do with it
The payment option? I am thinking with my cynical head now, how long before the free bit is not an option any more?

The fact that you can quote and quote and quote without getting the hourglass look is kind of nice, I think.
It might very well be great Dave IF it didn't add the last quote that you made to the one you want to add now! Or are you supposed to just paste it all in and then edit? Which will take ages. Just a thought and maybe its another bug they need to sort out.

Stupidcupid please if you are still reading this thread don't give up. I know some are leaping ahead and saying "oh stop worrying" but many of us ARE aware that there are still problems for FM's who want a user-friendly forum, and we do care about all of us.
Just keep checking in and hopefully we CAN get the bugs sorted out and have something that can be used by ALL of us, without having to have all the extra facilities that some will love and others won't see the point of.

As the OP FGG Aka Crocodile Rock I don't think I agree with your remark. This was actually a dialogue that needed to take place. People have been able to express worries here rather than just quietly disappearing and letting the uber confident ones shout the quieter ones down. That's my opinion and you may very well have your own but my point is that we all need to have our voices heard.
Wouldn't it be better to voice concerns/suggestions for layout over at the support bit of the live cloud site where a few people are? The mods over there are being really good and listening to what people are suggesting, and seem to be implementing most of the things FMs want... dunno if someone already said that mind, cos I haven't read back
