pretty much what others have said.can't see who started a topic.being able to find posts by yourself or your mates by clicking on their name etc...

You might just be seeing this fixed soon... maybe.

But don't tell anyone I told you.

It's taken me forever to get on here, I dont know why that is, I suppose I have no major concerns at the moment, ask me in a weeks time. x

ooooooo yer ickle tease benjamin!!!...helloooooooooo xx...

All seems ok to me atm, but I'm still working it all out!  

oooo.and when you click on the ticker thing..i've got like a gazillion posts showing...i've clicked the 'just my buddies' option.......but it hasn't changed it to just posts from them?...

test

Tayto   I think you have to log out and back in for the invisible mask to take effect  I dont know who you want to be private from but this only stops you showing on the online list - your gingerbread man still shows orange in  buddy lists and against your name on any posts you have made with this option  while online  HTH

Not seeing the avatars and smileys but instead a red x is the only concern I have at the moment.

Other than that I'm getting used to it.

I had that last night on IE7, then when I opened up in Firefox I could see everything.

Thanks MrsH.  The Gingerbread Man stays orange for a long time after you log off and it would just save peope thinking you're ignoring them. 
As I said it's no big deal.  I suppose it's kinda silly of me to think you could post away with your Man staying grey.  

Oh no, I hope they sort it cos it's very off putting. And I don't want to change browser everytime I log in here.

pleased to see you here Tigi well done for coming over. Im still finding my way round at the moment.

It's going to take some getting used to I guess ...... but I'll get there in the end

There is no edit function here is there ? ... can't seem to see one anyway ..... & god knows how you are supposed to quote ..... Oh well, all trial and error I guess

Aww ... I do prefer the old format though ..... So much easier to use imo

The edit function is lower right hand side of your post. To see it you hover your mouse over it.

Hiya Poker Face
If, after you have posted, you hover over the bottom right of the post a 'delete and edit' function will appear

To Quote..If you highlight, as if to copy and paste, but dont, then click on.. Post Reply then the 'quote' will appear and you can edit that too. Hope that helps

highlight the piece you want to quote poker face

We are all fettling away industriously to get the hang of it.
What a determined lot we are!
I am so pleased that so many of us have stayed together.

You quote by hightlighting the text you want and clicking Reply.  The text comes up in a white box and you type under that.  You can also type the person's name you are quoting beside Reference just over the white box.
Remember to refresh your page after you click submit.  That gets rid of the quote.

thanks for that Tayto .... I'll find my way round, eventually I'm sure

I am running IE7 and have no red crosses - can see what peeps are saying they cant - the only pro I have ever had is in the groups/forums you sometimes cant see past page 1 and then it has been recommended to use Firefox or Google Crome

I can only ever get on to the GaGajoyjoy forums through Mozilla Firefox ....... Internet Explorer never got me here ... All ever got was "Webpage Cannot Be Displayed"

Firefox all the way

It's not as bad as I imagined, just one or two small issues need sorting then I should be alright, I think.

I don't know what causes the avs not to show up.  It happens in a lot of places.  In another forum I'm a member of someone changed their av but I could only ever see the old one.  Maybe it's something to do with anti-virus or settings on your pc.  
I changed from Firefox to Google Chrome and I've found it much faster and simpler to use.  IE is very slow imo and Firefox has too many extras.  No extra address bars/toolbars at the top of the page either with Chrome just a thin blue bar and the rest is all webpage.

Moan moan moan.....but enough about me and my day

Go to the support forum guys. Lots of these questions have already been answered there. I picked up a lot. It's easier for the mods to see your problems and ideas and answer them/fix them

I use Chrome as well and find it really useful to just move between pages easily as a computer novice, it's really easy for me to use.

OP would be nice.

I can only see my buddies avs...and Rexi's.....Don't know why....

It's coz I'm special, lal

I will second that

And the layout could be better 

It wasn't broken 

That goes without saying...

awwww - you sweetheart, Marg

I don't like that I can see these smilies:
 

but not these:
 

PeterCat:  all the smileys are there....use the scroll bar in the box.

I quoted this 2 pages ago, and can't remember who said it, plus I've lost the quote format because I started with something else....

"Another wish...I wish we had a little light (like gaga) or something to tell us when we have a pm."

I believe that if you look at the top menu bar, there's a tab for Dialogs.  If you have new Dialogs or a response to one, there will be a number after it, in parantheses, like this:  Dialogs(7).

OMG That's AMAZING! Thanks for that Twee.... you've saved me getting RSI in my mouse pad finger.

Whoops my first messed up quote....shame!
