I enjoyed the Chat feature of the other forum, there a plan to implement something like that as well?
@Region Philbis,
ok, i can see the email notifications and for sure the ones i put in today are not listed. my name was having phil attached, it is now removed. so does that mean i will never get any email notifications now?
@GoshisDead,
There hadn't been, but enough people have mentioned it that it's shaping up to be a popular request and one that will likely make it into our plans.
I need time to do it well, but do you guys want a quick and dirty solution in the meantime?
@Robert Gentel,
Just whenever you get to it. I liked the chat feature. It was nice to have real time discussion with people i had come to know through there posts. I sort of like this setup, and I like a lot of the regs from this forum already. Once I get used to learning how to find the stuff I am interested in I'll be right as rain.
@GoshisDead,
spot on gosh
the real time chat is a bonus despite the ineluctable downside
that'd be me incidentally cya there
thanks! Starting to get some notification emails now, I think I have that worked out.
I had quite a few posts and threads saved as Favourites, for reference. Can't seem to find any of them. Is there a Member Search somewhere? Or the equivalent of the old Advanced Search (find by contributor AND keyword)?
@Butrflynet,
Thanks! I can see you have put a lot of time into getting those screens annotated. I really appreciate the effort.
One more question - is there a Search facility, other than the Google Custom Search at top right?
And another - can't figure out how to do in-line URL's. Like, I can copy and paste a URL into a post, and it works, but the HTML tags for inline URLs don't work, and square brackets don't seem to do it either. Any tips? Or a reference manual for your markup language? Thanks

There is no other search facility. We all agree its not ideal especially in regard to searching posts as opposed to threads but its the best we have at present.

Me either. let me know if you find something.
@jeeprs,
hovering over the
URL button in bbcode editor gives you the format.

@Region Philbis,
Thanks! Didn't quite get the syntax before.

Not yet, good search is a hard thing to solve (forum software largely hasn't just breaking instead at certain thresholds) so it may be a while before we do. But our plans are to implement a post-level search engine as the page-level search engine Google provides misses a lot of forum search use cases.
there were things i had posted on the old forum in creative writing which were copy and pasted from my documents-of course i may be hallucinating, but i thought they were all mixed up when i looked at them. today i looked and only one was bizarre. is something being worked on to fix the text issue?
i would like to have a ray of hope that when the blogs show up, if that ever happens, that they will be readable. short ones might have been typed directly onto the screen, but the longer kind of entry (like all my 79 of them) were of necessity taken from saved documents, which i often deleted from my hard drive after doing the blog entry ... i know, silly me.
i used to say i was writing my own epitaph to leave hanging out in cyberspace...now if this little mini showcase of my entire sad and sorry life doesnt get reincarnated, i guess i will have to live forever-chilling thought to say the least. and i am too disillusioned to think of doing any such silly thing again any time soon...
actually there is a question way back in paragraph one of this whine...
Is there any place folks from philforum can ask questions?
No . . . now go away and stop bothering us.
hey-there really are things being fixed!
ok, going to sleep now...
by the way setanta, i like your signature/quote
@salima,
I believe that is at least part of what's last night's a2k maintenance period was about.
