What are your favourite 'features' on the new site

That feature is definitely very comprehensive isn’t it – showing the last 100 revisions really is quite something!

Usually I read my posts before posting, I cannot abide typos in my own posts. That goes very much against the grain, my working life was spent ensuring those types of errors did not get through on final products. Old habits die very hard, useless spell checkers that need to go back to school don’t exactly help either! :grinning:

This plus so many other features we did not have on the old OFF site is very impressive and all thanks to Azz. :+1: :grinning:

yes, except it doesn’t show the precise time, which is useful when someone edits their post after someone has commented on it.

Good point … :+1:

Maybe @Azz will be able to rectify that … :thinking:

I like precise times, not 5 mins ago, 10:19 makes more sense to me.

If you hover over or click on the time, it will show the exact date and time.

For instance, your post shows 11m right now, but if you hover or click on it, it shows 11 Aug 2021 02:24

Something I’ve just discovered …

When replying, the box pops up at the bottom, seems a bit tight and difficult when selecting smilies. You can drag the orange line up. And it stays up for when next replying. :grin:

@Azz

An anomaly I notice is the message count at the right does not always get to, say, 36/36

This thread shows the last message as 48/49. What has happened to the missing message? I don’t have anybody on “Ignore” (it’s against my religion). Another example:

That could be spam automatically deleted from the system that leaves a post(s) unaccounted for. Or a post(s) deleted by the admin.

There is so much on here I haven’t had the time to discover what my favourite feature is…but I will in time! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@Bruce …maybe someone deleted their post, you can do that now I think …

I don’t think that would leave a post unaccounted for. The posts I’ve seen deleted by a poster still stays as a post and says something like deleted by the author.

You can also select the (double-arrow) ‘enter fullscreen composer’

Looks like Azz disabled that feature. Not sure if it’s back.

Tiff I think Meg & Mags have confined him so he cannot escape!
He did promise me, on a reply to one of my posts that he would be around more, but I suppose we will have to let him have meal breaks & sleep time!

Hi Twink :smiley: I found out a lot by going around and clicking on everything.
The problem then is remembering what each thing does :laughing:

I know exactly what you mean Meg, but at least we are trying! :laughing:
