OK guys they have told us that we can now take screenshots and share them with the people on our forum I copied a post from one of akents builds and posted it in a thread there and well here is what it looks like.  It will take some getting use too but after time it grows on you. Some of the features are cool and there are still some I have not figured out quite what to do with them Most likely we will loose our look for a little time as I learn the admin side of the system, which we have not seen yet. Anyways enjoy and I will add more to this as I see something you might enjoy. Dave |

That shoutbox thingy at the bottom looks like you can carry on a chat while posting on the boards. Could be a neat thing if we ever get the chat going with more than two people. Not that I've been a lot of help in that regard.  |

Looks nice, I'm not so keen on the chat feature though. Healthy forums are information dependent. There might be problems that get worked out in real time that would otherwise have been posted, and that information will be lost. I know that when I'm looking to solve a specific problem, I look to the forums first. If there is no information posted, my problem goes unsolved and I have to go elsewhere to look.
I'm not trying to be a buzzkill here, but the beauty of the forum is that I can come here at anytime and see what the active members are up to. We are all on different schedules and in different time zones. Now if once a week, we decide to get together, toss a few back, and shoot the sh!t in the chat room, that's another story.

Good point Doz and I agree.
Not quite sure how everything works there yet. May be able to turn the chat on and off.....just not sure. I think you guys will like it in the long run. It offers a lot and they are taking the time to work as many of the bugs out before it gets released.

OK then but what happen to the smile's off to the left I miss the angry one... Well he will and the little blue thumbs up guy are not part of the package. The good thing is I believe they said we will be able to edit the smileys. Here let me see if I can find him and put him and the blue guy back up here for a visit with us. |
