    First Few Comments

    Fist, great job! Love the new site!

    Here are my first comments/questions -

    1. The IM section of Registration seems dated. Maybe it's time to solicit Facebook, Twitter, Google+ information.
    2. Groups Invite Members - The autofill is good, but I miss the drop down to scroll for members
    3. What's the inactivity time out? It seems that evertime I browse to another page when I get back to the forum I'm timed out and have to log in again.
    4. Is there chat?

    I'm not sure if I can disable that - will check.

    There is an incredibly good Facebook link - but we will decide about addressing that later. No Googles/Twits yet, though.

    Can't help ya there. All I can say is that the vB community (which is huge) has been bugging the developers about this for some time. Not sure if they'll build this into the next release, though.

    Not sure - will find out.

    I think I did it but had to copy and paste quote pieces.

    So is there a way to quote just sections of a post by highlighting the way we can in old PE? Or do you have to quote the whole thing then edit?

    I am curious to see what some would do with this feature. I don't mind the post count at all.

    Well, I went to 2

    It seems the board will only show your current post count. I have seen some where the post count is different for each post you make. For example, this post should be #3 rather than the total amount of posts thus far.

    No biggie. Just testing the stuff out.

    Now it's working as I described. This should be #6.

    I have twin 3's above!

    It is helpful when searching back through your posts. I know there are time stamps, but sometimes it's nice to see that count.

    See the icon at the bottom right hand corner of each post? Click that on each post you want to multi-quote. When you're done, click on the "Reply With Quote" of the last one...

    This - as far as I know. Try the FAQ - I haven't read it but it might help with this

    Damn - I thought I'd turned it off. I think I missed this forum. Fixing it now...

    Where did you see the IMs?

    I just went through the registration, and didn't see it - and the instant messaging stuff has been turned off, as I thought.

    Did you click "remember me" when logging in? If not, your timeout is 15 minutes. If you check it, you stay logged in for a year.

    Okay - I found it. Have researched it - these can only be removed from the system if I modify the source code. I know how and where to do this, but won't do it because that makes it impossible to upgrade to new versions of the software.

    So - there are a few extra fields in the user profile, that (probably) no one will use.
    Regards,

    Duncan

    This might be (probably is) a very minor quibble, but you have these links at the top of this thread:

    Forum Progressive Ears Forums Progressive Ears SITE Matters PEv3 TESTING Issues First Few Comment


    Is there any way to put these at the end of the thread, V V below the "quick reply" space? This would be more convenient when scrolling to the ends of threads, I'd think.

    If not, not a big deal.

    Looks like the old PM system is a thing of the past, unfortunately. You can still directly PM, and I suppose you can send a PM to multiple people (tried that, but don't know if it worked), but it seems that we're limited to 500 messages in our inbox, and I don't see how PM threads can be sustained.

    Oh well. We do have the non-music off-topic forums, so that should solve most of the PM issues, anyway.

    No on the Remember Me as I clear history and reset everytime I log out of Firefox. No worries on the 15 minutes, just knowing works.

    I'll look back in Registration for the IM section and paste a screenshot.
    Duncan's going to make a Horns Emoticon!!!

    Emoticons will show on a post but not on the activity stream. No big deal as far as I'm concerned, just something I noticed.

    Hi all. The site looks great!

    A couple of initial observations.

    1) I may have missed it.but during registration I didn't see the actual TOS for the site.

    2) Your second main forum is called Community There is also a community with separate functions (member list) on the top menu bar. This might confuse some people. You may want to think up a separate name for that second forum.

    Hope this helps..
