You guys are the best!! Thanks for a great site!
I really like the ease of being able to select the smiley faces and UBB code from the "bank" below the reply space-- I could never remember all of the codes in the first place and now I don't have to!
I also like the addition of member #'s and the hometown profile!
Excellent so far! NC.com, you just keep getting better!!! I am so glad that I have been here from the very beginning (late 1998) to see you grow!!!
Congratulations!

I've also noticed that if we use too many Graemlins in posts, pages take forever to load, so we may want to be judicious about that.

It's going to take some adjusting but I like the new look and the new features
Although, i can of prefer the gridlines...
Its amazing how much things have changed this board and how much it has grown since i started coming here way back in July 99....it feels good to have been part of this growth...
Thanks, for a great board!
I'm not sure that the light bulbs are working. They are always showing lit up...but I know I've read the posts.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I think ya have to leave the site then come back. I tried "refresh" but it did not work.
Ever since the sports thread wars I have sensed a special connection between [edit] & Wile. Like the connection oil has to water. I almost can't speak of it. Wait....my eyes are misting. ~asq
Let’s just stay together and tell the world to kiss our ass. ~P
The alternating colors would definitely be great since it looks like some messages are running together.
I like the location listing too!
I saw something earlier today about ratings, but it was gone before I could check it out.
Wow! This board is sooo different. It will definetly take some getting used to! But, I like it I wish the gridlines were back though!

Oh Geez ... I just wrote a message but the flood control thingie caught me so I have to do it over.
The only things I don't like are the fact that when you go back, your post is gone (like what just happened to me)
and you can only do 8 smilies in a post !!
Oh well, I like the easy acsess to the smilies and instant ubb codes.
Thanks !!

Don't make me promises baby you never did know how to keep them well
I love the new features! the private messages are so cool!
Here's another site I frequent that uses UBB. www.soulcysters.com they use the color differentiations for the messages and have some other very cool features too! It might be worth checking it out.
Thanks for all of the work you put into this site! It's the best!!
I have a quick question about the new board. When we are done with a particular session on CurlTalk, is it preferable to log out in addition to exiting the browser? I never did this before; I would just exit my browser when I was done with a particular session (that way the colored folders would be correct when I got back in showing which threads had new posts, etc.).
So, is it cleaner/preferable to log in and log out each time, or is exiting the browser sufficient?
Hope this makes sense! Thanks!!

I got the lines in here, as you can see. I'll work more on getting alternating colors, too; I think that'd be even better. I think it'll be easy; I just gotta work on it.
Good question on the logout thing; my initial guess is that it doesn't matter, that quitting the browser takes care of it. But I'll try to read about it.

i think there may be a little too much information in each individual post -- seems a little cluttered almost. things like "member" status and member # seem a bit unnecessary to me.
if would be great though if each post displayed the poster's hair type since that question is always asked. i'd say leave "member" status and member # in the profiles, and keep them out of the posts.
of course, i am a fan of minimalism, simplicity and necessity when it comes to BB boards.
and, as you already mentioned, the pages take A LOT longer to load.

Thanks, Gretchen! I know you're busy with a bunch of issues. I tried it both ways (quitting the browser with logging out vs. quitting the browser without logging out). It seemed to work fine both times, but I just didn't know if I should get into the habit of logging out to prevent possible corruption of my account, etc.
The lines and other changes are great! Again, thanks so much!

1. I don't like the fact that we can't e-mail people anymore... the personal private messages are inconvenient.
2. There definitely needs to be some lines on the thread page which define the boundries more clearly where one post ends and another begins.
Other than that... love it!

I've turned on "signatures," which means you can edit your profile to include a signature that will always be placed at the end of your post. You can put your hair type here. I can't put it to the left, under your name. Nor have I found a way to get rid of "member" over there. I can trun off "member #xxx" but jury seems to still be out on that one.
I'll keep checking into the e-mail thing.
Thanks again for all your feedback!

I LOVE the new look.
I am having one problem though. After I post a reply and it says to "sit tight we are taking you back to ......." it sits literally forever. I always have to either refresh or hit my back key both of which will tell me "there is flood control to try posting again in a few seconds"
HUm.... otherwise I love it!
I kind of like the private messages---maybe it will keep the "arguments" in private.
You can still email too, you just need to go into the profile first.

Riotkitty, my guess is it's the browser thing. Which looks better, the upgraded broswer at home or the old one at work? Which brower/computer are you using?
And I agree that sometimes it takes forever to get back to where you were. It drives me crazy, too, and I've asked our ISP guy to check into it. It could be our server, which means you guys'll have to buy a bunch of hats and t-shirts so we can afford to buy a new one. Haha! Just kidding. We'll see what the problem is and try to fix it.
