I've sent all of these issues to the techie. Hang in there!

Can't see whose online....Can't find the NABBW site at all...also why does the entire URL show instead of like before and just the site address? It should be just fine though once the bugs are worked out.....it takes time!

The NABBW forums are now visible to me! I'm having fun navigating here - it's a whole new world!!

Yuhooo...Anne! Here is an example of how to start a new topic.

Let's say you want to start a new one in the WELCOME section. First you would go to the MAIN INDEX and then click on the WELCOME section. When that screen opens up, look at the top on the right-hand side. The first button should say "POST." Click on that. Put in a subject in the SUBJECT line and of course whatever you want to say in the body. Hit submit! That is how you start a new TOPIC/POST.

As far as "flat mode" goes...I THINK it means that only the beginning topic is shown when you click on that. I'm not sure about it though so don't hold me to it.
Hope that helps! JJ

Is everyone getting familiar with the new forums?

I am STILL waiting to hear from the Groupee tech. Needless to say, I am disappointed. Until yesterday, he was answering my emails quickly and making changes as requested. I'll be on the phone with them first thing Monday morning to get some of these other features straightened out. Please hang in there with me.

I signed in this morning and the password protected forums were now visible, (diet, critique circle, NABBW) however I could enter all of them and view posts without having to enter the password - and I previous only had access to the NABBW one!

I went in to change my signature and it said it was too long and that was when it was shortened....I just clicked out and forgot abgout it.

Evie, how did you get your whole name, URL and blog URL to show up? .... Okay, I just went in to check mine and the number of characters allowed has been increased since yesterday. So that's how! I changed mine to include my name and URL as well.

BTW, Dotsie, it seems that many of the "glitches" are getting fixed here...the signature problem seems fixed, the Active Topics glitch seems fixed, the response/transition times are MUCH better today than yesterday, so it seems that things are falling into their proper places here.

And I like it here. New digs, new colours, new buttons to press, new features to check out - it's all good, Dotsie. You've brought us to a great new place, and once we've all taken our shoes off and made ourselves at home in here, we're going to have to throw ourselves a super-duper Boomer cyberparty to celebrate - our first Boomer House Warming!

Congratulations Dotsie! I think we're going to be okay. I know there are still glitches to work out, but it seems many have already been fixed.

Eagle, if we all looked for the good in life LIKE YOU DO, we would be much better off. I love how you bring us all UP!
