Wow!  Did you guys know you can resize the box where you write-in your post?  Just drag the lower right corner.  Amazing.  I hadn't noticed that till now.  I joined May 15, 2009.  Observant?  Me?  Not!

I got Blue Ice and I'm loving it.  To whoever put in the "modify" and "delete" features, BLESS YOU!  Nothing worse than hitting "send" and then saying, "Doh!"  I've modified a few of my posts already, thankfully before anybody caught my spelling errors...  whistle

I have Blue Ice, too.  It looks cool.  The "Show unread posts since last visit" and "Show new replies to your posts" at the top is nice too.

I'm with ya!  My keyboard never did spell all that well, and that "Modify" button gets about as much use as "Post" from me.....

One of my new invitees lost her password... how can she get logged on again?  Is there a "lost password" button?

Yes there is...it should be where she logs in...tell her to put a pw in and it will be incorrect and it should say forget pw?

if that doesn't work I can make her a new one and email it to her..she can then change it when she logs in

Hey Luis.  Just copy and paste the url in the reply box and you're good to go.

You could also use the insert hyperlink button after highlighting the link in the box, but I find it an unnecessary step.

I notice a glitch now after the recent changes made.  Maybe Ocean can look into it. 

The 'font size' button doesn't work properly now.  Normally, you could highlight something, hit the font size button and you'd get the command (size=10pt] in front of the highlighted word or sentence and the command (/size] after the highlighted part. (I obviously used a parenthesis instead of a bracket for the purpose of this post.)

But now, all that happens when you hit the button is it removes the highlight, and it places those commands where the cursor happens to be.

Try it, Ocean.  What do you think?

This is big text.

When I edit, it shows a drop-down menu that selects the font size.  If I highlight a bit of text and then pick a different font size for the highlighted text, it puts the tags around the highlighted text, not just where the cursor happens to be.

You mean like on a printed page, where the text flows above, beside, and below an image?
