Well.. like everything else, there may be the odd moan about the change of layout then everyone will get used to it.   Don't see me using the widgets (even if i knew what they were/what they did) as long as I can read and post, I'm fine.   

BUT!!!!!!!!!      Can't we edit posts any more?    DON'T MAKE ME LEARN TO TYPE DAMN YOU!!!!

Oh NO! What if I spell 'losing' it wrong again and type 'loosing'. I'm in a state of botherment 

Kaff 

I only expect to find widgets in my beer cans. 

Suze     I think I may do a post outlining the difference between loosing, losing, they're, their, there, its, it's, and general punctuation rules etc so I can refer people back to it when I typo.....

I think you can - the edit icon is still there - 4th icon on the left under your postings.

It's only visible if you have your pointer over the posting.

but...but...but.... I only have two icons on the left under my postings?        I'm also being reminded I don't have a modern browser though, so that might have something to do with it.

EDIT        I take it all back.   They weren't there last night.

yes I did wonder if it was only forum admin that could change things, but as the link was put in here to explain what the changes were I thought well maybe it would apply to us non admin people too, otherwise why put the link in if it means nowt to the average user.. ..

we can visually see the actual changes to the layout so we don't need to know about stuff we can't actually do ourselves surely.. 

Now I need to be made admin so I can get rid of the mess down the right hand side. .I keep wanting to get a cloth to wipe it off.. 

 Olly, I sometimes see you as admin in here.

Kaff, it's a flipping mindfield...minefield...too to two HELP

I keep getting internal server errors today. No doubt things will be running smoothly again soon.

ION... I'm quite liking the 'recent topics' section.

I had huge problems posting last night, but it's better today.

oooeeerrr ..

maybe I am

Edit function is back....hip hip hooray 

There , they're, their Suzy!

I have on the top of my screen, a yellow triangle saying i have to upgrade to a modern browser..i have 

I don't have an edit button either - but then I haven't been able to use or see most of the smileys for months

 OI! Aimee ^^^ there's a bleedin' difference.

. 

Oh Ninja  You're nawty! [sic] 

 Suze. 

OK, I've probably lost track of all the questions unanswered, but I'll give it a try, and you can call me out if I've forgotten anything:

1.  Squiggle: hang tight on the images thingy. I see a support ticket in progress on our end, and I'll let you know what happens as a result.

2.  Performance in general is gonna suck until we figure out what is causing it. And we WILL figure it out, but in the meantime, I repeat: PERFORMANCE IS GONNA SUCK!

3. Yes, only admins can do widgets and whatsits. However, you got the link because EVERYthing was in that post.

4. Skylark: you upgraded to what, please?

5. *skips past editing buttons and widgets in beer cans*

6. *hands Olly a rag* Good luck!

7. And yes, all of these answers are out of order.

Thanks Lori, El Loro has shown a way around it so that we can still post from our Photobucket accounts but if we can use the original (and in my view simpler) way then that would be great.  Thank you all for all your hard work, I know we grumble but we do appreciate it, honest

Lori, i have Google Chrome and IE8, not IE9 as i have windows xp x

Yeah Lori. Thanks to you and all at Seattle for giving us a free home  

So where is the edit button....it's still awol...and I was fond of my little dustbin as well

Careful, you nearly knocked one over! 

That's TOTALLY me!

Did Dave give you that video??

spits on rag and rubs screen.. nah the mess is still there

 Yes!

I'm posting right now from a test machine that has both IE8 and Google Chrome and I am not seeing that message. 

Our pleasure, entirely.

Kaytee: what are YOU using  for a browser?

I took the advice at the top to update IE and have now lost all my toolbars. I've tried system restore 4 times, but nothing doing. I'm really quite cross. It doesn't even say Internet explorer on the top or bottom bar.

Hi, cologne:

I saw that on one of our test machines.

Go over to the right hand side. I think there's a gear or something that is your settings.

Sorry for the delay....I was locked out with internal server errors......I have managed to get here with Chrome, but Firefox is a no no Lori

OOH! the edit has re-appeared now

Hi Lori

do you mean to the right of my computer or this page. I can't see anything about gear or settings. Everything has gone.

See if a search on Google will help. I don't know which Windows you are using or which version of IE so this Google search may need to be refined.

cologne, I'll let El Loro help you, since I don't even use IE. I was on a test machine earlier, which is how I know that the menu items are reached via a gear or something on the right side of the page (not Gaga....any page in IE).

Kaytee, what do you mean "Firefox is a no-go"? What happens? (she says, from Firefox )

Two other quick notes:

The image issue mentioned by squiggle above is definitely a bug, and will be fixed in the next bug release (soon-ish?).

Also, the fact that some of you can't see all the smilies has been identified, and that should also be in an upcoming bug fix.  I'll try to let you know when that has been fixed.

Stop bragging....I get into Gaga and with a bit of luck into a thread, but when I post I just get the *server error*....but when it lets me back in again the posts I made are there. I get chucked off whenever I post....it'll probs do the same thing this time as well

It did......she says from Chrome

Ah. That's not the browser. See my point above about sucky performance.
