What are your favourite 'features' on the new site

@Azz

That’s for… spoilers

So you know when a new film is out or an episode of Eastenders and you want to post about it but don’t want to give away ‘spoil’ the episode for anyone who hasn’t watched it yet? Well that’s what you use
EG:

@Azz thank you for the explanation Azz I would never have guessed…

[Azz]

I’m sure it will come in handy Meg

@Meg

There is an odd feature, the little ‘settings’ wheel in the post menu has something called hide details

Another one for the notebook

Secret

Posting pictures for sure
Quoting exactly what you want instead of deleting what you don’t want.
The like button - it’s nice just to click on a like just to acknowledge a post or subject when you don’t want to post
That Azz is more inclusive in conversations and such

But you can swipe that slider down quickly Muddy.

The slider gizmo is a nifty feature.

I’m going for a lie down.

What is a slider gizmo?..I’m not seeing half of what you guys are seeing, I’m on an iPad.

[Morticia]

I think it’s different on an ipad Pauline … and looking at some of the screen shots I’m glad I’m on a laptop else I’d be totally sunk.

Deleted the quote as a typo error.

I prefer the unedited version

You are funny,…I think it’s great that you are here more often ,since the new site became live. such a character you are.

Would you like me to edit it out of your post that I quoted?

[Morticia]

@pauline3
Yes please Pauline . I wouldn’t want to appear a nit.

No chance you two are going to hide that little beauty.

@Baz46

I often edit my posts, not for any dubious reasons though, and didn’t realise that the number of times an edit is done comes up at the top of the post! It’s all very clever isn’t it and all down to the new forum.

@Baz46 you are not alone Baz I have lots of edits nothing sinister though. For some reason I don’t notice mistakes when I read through a post but a minute later I see them.
Not all edits are so innocent though, one member used to watch when Mods were around to read it then post something nasty about the site or a member and quickly delete it befor a mod could and the editing time expired leaving a ‘blank post’ .
It surprising what some people find ‘amusing’ , it won’t be possible to do that now

Clever, if a bit devious, I would never have thought of that but I suspect my posts are mostly done in the middle of the night for you.

My favourite features of this place, now I’ve set things up so that Category view is my default include the ease of inserting piccies and gifs, which I’d always struggled with in the past, and having details of threads which have the latest posts being clear, plus being informed of any replies. Saves having to scroll up and down the forum like we had to in the old place.

Not doubt I’ve only scratched the surface of other features, but it’s more than ample for the time being.
