My penguins look like they have been on a starvation diet while in storage. Does anyone know how to fatten them up in cyberland?

LOL you are welcome ;D

I found another pic online and then upped the av numbers a little bit here.
As long as they don't effect the site, we can leave them where they are.

I thought I pressed a strange button. I like that new home page. It reminds me of royalty. The colors are very calming.

Now, I'm thinking you are either gas lighting us or I did hit a strange button. What happened to the golden pages?

mystery-ak · « **Reply #56 on:** May 21, 2009, 05:15:13 pm »

We were testing out new themes...the last one's font was too small and didn't have very many bells and whistles...although it was pretty..lol

R4 Trump · « **Reply #57 on:** May 21, 2009, 05:29:10 pm »

We also just upgraded and have to get themes that coordinate with that or we lose some functions.
There were some functions missing in the Pretty one ;D

I am actually glad to hear that. We had a problem with Comcast this week which involved them climbing the pole behind our house and making adjustments. I was worried it was Comcast again.

My husband reported Comcast to the FCC and we now have a personal assistant from the executive office to contact.lol I'll be happy to give you her name and number. I was very aggravated because now they want to charge a service fee every month in case they have to come out and fix a problem they are creating. I made such a fuss that they didn't charge us the last time to fix the problem. I never yell at anyone I just point out the errors of their thinking. They are now wiring our village for AT&T. We are seriously considering switching. I also can't believe Comcast actually wants us to change our phone service over to them. As my husband told them, are you crazy? If we have a problem with our internet and TV how are we supposed to contact you? They couldn't answer him lol.

There is a software feature that allows members to view threads that have responses to their posts. It was available in the upper left hand corner of the screen and was very helpful in following threads where you had mafe comments. This is not a feature in the user profile as far as I can tell.

Right now if you log onto TOS you will see it in the upper left hand corner under your name along with a link to all the posts since you've been gone.

Is there any chance we can get that feature tuned on again here? It is soo helpful in following the conversations you're involved in.

I see it on the Daily Briefing room in the upper left hand corner. BTW, only in the Daily Briefing Room I see the question mark in the blue box where the word NEW is usually printed. I get around it by looking at the dates and times of the responses.

Here is a screen capture of the TOS index page. The two links are in the user info section at the top left. The first one says "show unread posts since last visit" the one right below that says "show new replies to your posts".

R4 Trump · « **Reply #69 on:** June 04, 2009, 07:13:45 pm »

Yes Liberty I know. It is supposed to be here. We have that theme too but it sucks!

We have several themes stored and they all have the feature except this one. I do not know why. I am going to check with smf and find out.

aligncare · « **Reply #70 on:** June 04, 2009, 07:20:23 pm »

It would certainly be nice to have with one click of the mouse a direct link to replies ... or a cheeseburger. If we're voting, I choose the cheeseburger.

mystery-ak · « **Reply #71 on:** June 04, 2009, 07:38:03 pm »

I'll take the cheeseburger too...lol

R4 Trump · « **Reply #72 on:** June 04, 2009, 07:47:07 pm »

...............UPDATE ON THEMES AND LAST POSTS...........
You now havea total of 3 themes to choose. All of them but the default give you the latest posts to you at the top. I will add more when I find ones that work with the core we are using.

To change your theme.. Go to Profile >Look andLayout > At the top middle it will say theme (change) click change and choose the look you want ;D ;D ;D

If only the Internet worked that way. Life would be good and food plentiful. But, at this point I'll be happy having a computer that moves faster than molasses in winter. :-\

You poor thing :'( You can change your theme though now on your profile page. try the rounded one and see if you like it ;D

Very nice. Choice is good.

I do like the one-click-to-relies feature.

Thanks for pointing it out to us.

FROGMOM · « **Reply #76 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:31:06 pm »

Liberty....thank you soooooooo much for making this great suggestion. It is a life saver and I had no idea I had missed so many replies to some of my comments. I do apologize to everyone. :D

Repub4Sarah ...thank you for making the above possible. I like the new theme choices.

See, that's what I like so much about this board....give and take and working together.

Mystery! R4S! thanks for making that feature available.

Liberty · « **Reply #79 on:** June 05, 2009, 10:03:51 am »

Ok, having poked around on the different themes, it looks like the 'see replies to your post" and 'see new posts' and 'hours logged clock' are user info features that get turned on and off as a group.

It also looks like the 'default' theme has the best formats, fonts, and colors for navigation and reading, just no user info features.

Is there any way to just turn on the user info features for the default theme? :angel:

mystery-ak · « **Reply #80 on:** June 05, 2009, 10:51:38 am »

The default theme doesn't have those features on the front page like the other themes do...all the themes have their pros and cons and I prefer the default theme too.....now, you can click your name and it will take you to your profile page and in the upper left corner you can click *show your posts* .

We have contacted simple machines and they have said to get that feature on the default page we would have to rewrite the code in the template....yikes!....any programmers out there?

We will keep updating the themes as they become availabe for the 1.1.9 version.

I need help.

For several days I could see if someone replied to my posts, but that option doesn't seem to be here any longer. I don't think I've changed any settings and my setup/layout preferences are still on system default.

What am I doing wrong?

Peach,
We are still trying to get an answer from SMF. I think it was lost when we upgraded to the 1.1.9 version.
If we can find an answer I can fix it :)

Let me get this straight.....

You have a blazing fast software program after more than a year of dragging along at the cost of membership....and you decide to try an 'upgrade'?

Haven't you learned anything from dealing with Microsoft Windows all these years?

ROFL!
