I noticed time stamps on the main board posts. Is that new or was I just blind to them before? I think they have always been there.

Becca, thanks for the note about attachments and the limited space. Would it be helpful for those of us who used the attachment feature to go back into the old posts and delete the attachments?
At this state of the game it wouldn't be a humongous deal to do.

Hi, can we please get the Smileys back somehow? I don't care if it's my avatar or a smiley, but this was an extremely helpful feature, IMHO.

hey! I finally found this. I couldn't find it on my phone this morning. DOY. I suggest a separate group board for Meet Ups and F2Fs. I know we have a Missouri one under general discussion and I think there's a Princeton one in the works too. it'd be cool to have a separate board for F2Fs so we aren't clogging up the general discussion board with GSOs and travel/booking, suggestions, planning and updates when things get going. unless it's NBD to have it on the general discussion board. if it's NBD disregard this!

That's a really good idea I have found out how to create a board but it has all these tabs about permissions etc so will need to get some help from the other mods in case I mess up but it should be there soon then we can move your thread over for you.

Hey, I think you could use the Groups board for now. If there winds up being a lot of regular F2F and meetups thread, we can make a board. Sound ok? EDIT: We're working on creating sub-boards for the Groups board now. Stay tuned.

weird question. Is there any way to condense the reply boxes so that they aren't as tall? There's a lot of leftover white space after a post. The one thing I did like about the old board format was how quickly you could read responses and scroll through a page. Having the ability to customize typography etc makes things bulkier to sift through, but I wouldn't want to take away that ability. There is too much white space for my taste as well. Let's see if we get used to it and if we don't and others feel the same, we can see if that can be changed. Found an option under profile settings that lets you hide the avatars - less white space but no cute animals and beautiful people.

On the homepage next to each board, there is a little label that says how many people are currently viewing the board. Does anyone know if that includes guests, or is it only registered users/members?
This is not an important question. Just curious.

Morning,
Re: date and timestamps
1. Is it possible to have one under the name of the OP in the Created By field? That may visually help people who are looking for new threads within the framework of the swiftly moving, last post added environment?
B. The timestamp on the posts made within the current 24 hour period is always '3 minutes ago' or 'a few hours ago' or '8 hours ago' until it passes through the 24 hour period. Is there a reason for this, as opposed to just having a regular date and time stamp for all posts? Is it possible to change this, or maybe a poll to see what users prefer? It seems like it would be simpler not to have to keep refreshing a constant 24 hour calculation behind the scenes?
Thanks.

Hi Cyn, 1. May be possible, it involves some coding. Let me see what I can do. 2. Is a matter of taste, I think, so I am reluctant to code a change it unless a large number of people are clamoring for it. Did you know that if you mouse over the "x minutes ago" in the post it shows the exact time? That may be helpful.

Is a matter of taste, I think, so I am reluctant to code a change it unless a large number of people are clamoring for it. Did you know that if you mouse over the "x minutes ago" in the post it shows the exact time? That may be helpful. Thanks for your response, Becca. I'm generally posting from my phone, but thanks for the mouse hover tip on the existing time/date info. I was just curious, no biggie. With regards to item #1, if it's a huge dealio to recode, NBD. As I said, it just might appease/ease some of the post-sort angst. I've personally had some isses with looking for new posts on later pages-when I use the 'backup' key on my phone, it doesn't always take me to the same page I was searching on. I'm thinking this is either because I'm using my phone, or the board is just continually refreshing due to high volume. It can be frustrating to keep having to start on P1, and then changes pages, and then start again on page one if I read a post on that later page. Yikes, that got bloggy. Sorry about that.

No worries, I did #1. It's a bit messy looking but there it is.

Could the moderators delete all posts with a hyperlink, foul language, or references to other message boards so we won't feel so homesick?
TIA
