Come over and tell me if you like what I'm doing

JennaGlatzer · Feb 12, 2005

Is it better this way, with the usernames and avatars and stuff over to the left instead of at the top of each post?

Kudra · Feb 12, 2005

Yup

I like it better this way, Jenna. Let's see what the others say. I'm loving the forum, btw. The new features, popularity ratings, er... reputation points and smileys are all fabulous. Thank you! :Clap:

I agree, the layout's good like this.
Just got to think of 50 things to say so I can get my avatar back... :Shrug:

JanaLanier · Feb 12, 2005

I like it!

Everything looks great!

Course it'll probably take me an eternity to figure out all the options, but what the heck!

Great job, Jenna!

JennaGlatzer · Feb 12, 2005

Thanks!

You can still see everyone who's viewing. It's on the main forums page at the bottom. Here, we can also see whose birthday it is.

They're now at the bottom.

Hi, by the way. :welcome:

EDIT: D'oh! Beat me!

Mistook · Feb 12, 2005

I'm just glad I could drop the "Mr." from my previous screen name. Always wanted to go by simply "Mistook" but over at ezboard it was taken.

MacAllister · Feb 12, 2005

Looks Terrific!

I like the format with our names on the left, too. Perhaps it just feels more familiar, since that's how the old board was set up.

Don't you have like fifty deadlines crashing down around your ears?

JennaGlatzer · Feb 12, 2005

Yes.

Poor timing on my part.

I'm getting back to work any minute, really.

I think I like the familiarity of this set-up, too.

MacAllister · Feb 12, 2005

btw

the bunny-suit is friggin' hysterical

By golly, Jenna--I think you've pulled it OFF!!! The members are coming, registering, posting in a frenzy....It was smart to move the thing on a weekend. Gives most folks a chance to catch up.

JennaGlatzer · Feb 12, 2005

Thanks!

I'm psyched. We've only been open here for, what, 5 hours? And more than 100 members have registered already. :snoopy:

The bunny: it's not me, in case anyone thought it was. That's Anya, possibly my favorite TV character ever, from Buffy. That's also where my old title came from ("Newly human and strangely literal").

So far, so good... knock on wood... the server hasn't exploded and no one's found any major problems. Now if I can just find a spell check option!

MacAllister · Feb 12, 2005

I missed the whole Buffy phenom, living out in the wilds of the Great NW for so long, without satellite. My little sis was a devoted follower. I'm gonna have to break down and go get the DVDs, I can see.

Heh--yeah, it's completely rockin' in here.

Knock on wood, re: the server...

Dawno · Feb 12, 2005

I like what you've done with the place!

This new forum is more like the ones I'm familiar with so I like it much better than the ezboard one. I should have spent more time reading around the ezboard forum and learned you were moving...then I could have saved my $12 membership! ah well, live and learn.

I also miss having my avatar but if it only takes 50 posts I guess I'll just have to get busy.

edit to remove a stray apostrophe...what it it with those things?

CaoPaux · Feb 12, 2005

Looking good

FWIW, I like having the stuff on the left, both for familiarity and compactness. The only glitch I've noticed is the long page lists scrolling sideways.

Yeah, I forgot to change mine :Smack:

detante · Feb 12, 2005

Cool new digs, Jenna! It looks good.

triceretops · Feb 12, 2005

Just moved in.

Duh, forgot that I had to register--kept trying to log in and was thrown off. Still a little confused about moving around here, but just go in.

Thanks Jenna

(Poking a cushion) Nice comfy digs Jenna; thanks for inviting us!

(Now to get to work on my fifty posts, Sigh! I was so close

wurdwise · Feb 12, 2005

I have to post so I can play with options

:Coffee:

Now, let's see what happens. Yes, I love it, I am testing out all the options. Just got a fresh cup of coffee, cruising the board.

lucyishome · Feb 12, 2005

Jenna,

I never have liked change but they say change is good. So I will get use to it. I just need a little time. It does look nice and clean though.

kschwitter · Feb 12, 2005

Hi Jenna,

I do like this setup!

How many posts until I can get an avatar? Thanks for taking care of this!

JennaGlatzer · Feb 12, 2005

50 posts

50 posts and a reputation score of 10 (which is what you start out with, so it really just means that you haven't *lost* any reputation points) until you become a "Super Member," which is when you can choose your own avatar and title and add events to the calendar.

reph · Feb 12, 2005

The decor, etc.

Mouse-hovering on the tiny green square produces the info that a person is on a distinguished road, except for MacAl, who instead is well respected. I suppose the "reputation" ratings make these descriptions happen. What does the complete set look like? Does it run from "Will be tarred and feathered later today" to "Had better watch out before praise makes his head explode"?

JenNipps · Feb 12, 2005

Lookin' good!

It looks good, Jenna. I agree with whoever said it was a good idea to move on a weekend.

And to those who changed their names...

You mean I gotta learn who you are all over again?? lol. Just kidding.

I kept my name as jyndral because 1) that's what I was known as and 2) it's my default ID for most places I join.

Actually.... #2 is the main reason I kept "jyndral."

And in case anyone is wondering... (Yeah, Yeah, I know you're not. Bear with me and pretend you were.

)

Jyndral is a made-up name for a character in a fantasy story I was writing and have since abandoned. Only time will tell if I start it up again.

Do I have to start my post count all over again?

<later>

Arggh! I do. Oh well. At least I'm level with everyone else now.
