New Web Site Format

[depotoo]

Okay, listen up. I keep hitting the "like" thing to choose a face and then I click it wrong and keep giving posters "thumbs up" instead. Can't seem to find a way to delete it/take it back the way we used to be able to do. Is there a way?

if you hit the wrong one, click again without releasing, slide over to the one you meant to use, then click it. Just did it to your post here.

I think I just added a second "reaction" to your post. Ignore. Just trying to follow instructions, which didn't work.

Are you using a touch device or a mouse? And you only added one reaction, the open mouthed one.

Change frightens me

In some ways its ok

but in others its a step back

if this is change just for change sake its a failure

Well already can't find a way to quote a part of a post but over yonder JustAnotherNut wrote:

WAIT....there may be a positive to this new change...……...when you quote someone, that quoted someone...…..you only get the last quote, instead of a full string of quotes. YIPPEE

That means if ya'll get into a pissin match over something...….your post won't blow up your alerts.

Maybe, but another downside is how most of it all is so much smaller, both text and the smileys...……...dammit, now I have to get new glasses

(end paste)

I don't think that's a good thing (losing the quote nest) if true --- that's your whole context of whatever the point was.

I do agree about the reading. This is almost impossible to see. Maybe we all need to enlarge our fonts in protest. That was called 18. It would appear default is somewhere around 14, which is not a choice, so you can go bigger or smaller.

Hold the control button and roll your mouse button to increase the page size while you're here. Press it again and roll the wheel so the adds on Porn Hub dont interfere with your educational experience there.

How do you "roll" a button?

It was perfectly fine.

There's a "thumbs up", so give us a thumbs down !

Cool! I use a mouse. I am also working on a borrowed, new sleek laptop to have more capabilities from home while I work, but the cursor keeps floating around on me a lot. Maybe I'm touching that square finger pad thing while I type. Who knows. Anyway, I appreciate your help, Depotoo.

You can only “like” posts now? Too many snowflakes can’t handle being laughed at?

No, you can be angry or sad about a post, too... It looks a lot more like Facebook's like system.

I can't ever imagine being "angry" or "sad" over a post, except in very rare situations. But I can believe the Facebook thing, I believe this new software is designed to be standardized so as to be compatible with and interface with a data collection and rating system. Also, apparently the spell checker does not work now as you type and will not work properly until you save then go back into edit. Geesh. More typos.

I haven't used "angry" and not sure how that would be applied, but I did use the "Sad" once, in the same punctuational way a Rump tweet does. So --- there's that.
It is a woefully inadequate roster of emotioes though.

I have no idea what Fecesbook looks like but if this is emulating it, it's no wonder nobody digs it. Seriously, starting to wonder if this was the only software available because if it was me kicking the tires I'd be saying "what else you got?"

When I changed it and hit save, this came up.

Oops! We ran into some problems.

A server error occurred. Please try again later.

It's an add-on -- it appears to be broken Sorry... I'll email the add-on author.

I just used your link and it worked perfectly.

Added a dislike button.

SO WE ALL KNOW NOW: we no longer have drag and drop to insert files and images. Instead of a simple 2 second operation, now you have to open the attach box, find the appropriate menu for where the file is in your computer, then spend two minutes searching through all the files to find the right filespec that matches the one you are looking for! NICE!

A REAL IMPROVEMENT (sarcasm intended)

"No longer"?
You could drag/drop before?

Added a dislike button.

How about adding these:

now I have "insufficient privileges" to post in the Flame Zone. I've been quarantined to upstairs, that seems counter productive. You wanna contain my diseases in the basement if you know what's good for society

I do too. I knew I was not a big enough jackass!

 

[Treeshepherd]

well, my Moronic Meme Montague Monday is ruined. Ruined, I tell you.

Does the new format have a way to make this bar static so it stays visible when you scroll down a page. That way you can see your alerts easier.

We are working on fixing this.

Change frightens me

Frankly, I liked the old format MUCH BETTER!

I figured it was glitch of some kind.
