USMB Coffee Shop IV

[Statistikhengst]

Now I know how blind people feel when the furniture is moved around.

rofl....

perhaps it was the point of it.

Certainly revenue is an issue because when no one can log into USMB because of a Bad Gateway problem (as was occurring in the old version) and Foxy kept on having to move the CS then that would have a negative impact on revenue.

It would also have a negative impact on those who use USMB for whatever reason. If the system is flaky and unstable then posters will go elsewhere.

Yes, I would love to have the option of different skins so as not to dealing with the glaring white background but that is only a matter of time before CK and the admins can sort that out. In the meantime there are still things to learn. Overall I agree with Foxy that I am not missing rep one iota!

That says "Remove Formatting" on my box.

My spell checker does its underline thing automatically; I didn't have to set anything up. And as far as I know that's a function of your own browser, not the site's software.

@Pogo
I never said anything about the site's software.
I explained where I found my spell checker.
Mine says the same thing too Pogo when you put your mouse over it.
If I right click on mine it brings down a menu and down at the bottom I have spell checker.

C_K is working on the skin issue and I'm pretty sure that will be remedied in the near future so we don't have to deal with the blinding white. I've found him to be open and receptive to legitimate complaints and accommodating when he can be, but nobody can make everybody happy about everything. At some point you just have to set the rule or standard or concept and that's it.

And since most folks aren't contributing members for whatever reason but I enjoy having them around, I don't mind the ads unless they interrupt what I'm doing or talk over what I'm trying to listen to. The ads make it possible for us to have a USMB.

This is a little better.
I now have a grey background.

 

[Foxfyre]

And a hidey ho to Jillian. You haven't been here in awhile. Good to see you.

A LOT better. This I can live with comfortably.

My first impressions is that the new format sucks big donkey dicks.

 

[Spoonman]

So how is everyone doing this fine day? enjoying the new digs?

The "T" icon you mention comes from the site's software, and its function is to remove formatting (the stuff inside brackets that tells it quote, indent, etc). That's what mine says, nothing about spell checking -- right click only gives "Bookmark this link", "Copy link Location", "Search Google for 'Remove Formatting'", "Inspect Element (Q)" and "AdBlock Plus Block Image", the same thing it reads for all the other control icons.

The spell check feature is a function of your browser and would be in the browser settings. In Firefox (what I'm typing with) it's under "Options/Advanced/Browsing". The site software really can't spell check, since the site doesn't know what you're typing unitl you put it online. That's my understanding.

 

[Pogo]

Not at all. They say it fixes security and stability issues but they sure didn't put a lot of thought into design or user interface.

So far, sogood Spoonman. How about you?

I'm just saying that is where I found mine. That's all.

 

[peach174]

I like the grey sides and I really like the light green quotes.
Mucho better on the old eye balls.

 

[Spoonman]

Just trying to make it through the day. Vacation is next week. I have a lot to get done before then.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Good morning, folks, I am still feeling my way around here.

We have a rainy Tuesday.

 

[Againsheila]

I like that. People are able to vent, but it doesn't show up....terrific! Won't create as much heartburn as actually seeing the word bitch printed out. I wonder if the took out the word ****, too?


Liar, liar, pants on fire.... I posted the word and it came out....

Am I the only one who's disappointed when a liar's pants don't actually catch on fire?

 

[Againsheila]

Is it just me, or does it not seem quite so "white" today?

 

[Againsheila]

good, it's not just me.
