Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Gang,

Just some quick things to point out.

IMPORTANT:
If it is your first time here, you will NOT be able to login until you reset your password. Simply make JUST ONE attempt to login, which will fail. You will be directed to a page that will ask for your email address (be sure to use the one that you were using on the old forums), where your username and NEW password will be sent to you in separate emails.

Once you get that information, be sure to login and then visit the "User CP" area. At that point, change your password to one that you can remember.

Take the time to browse around and figure things out. I am always here to assist if anything should arise (keep in mind that this forum is new to me too!), jrosoff@sprynet.com or jason@somo.com or 954-547-8237 phone.

Some known issues:
- Your post count has dropped, I know. This is as accurate as the transfer allowed (I believe among other things that PM posts were not counted).
- Your private messages stayed private and did not transfer over. I do apologize, but I am stuck on this one. The old site will remain up for a little while, it will be your responsibility to get the information you want to keep from there.

I appreciate your patience with the transfer and hope that this solution works for ALL of us.

Regards,
Jason Rosoff

Please reset my post count to 15,375. Thank you.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

After utilizing the new Pad-Detector 6000 these are the posts of yours that were determined to be non-pads. Blow it out yer ass.;) :D

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

I just realized yours dropped, too. I wonder where mine are... I'll guess 1500.:(

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

I was wrong! BWUAhahahahaaaa!!!

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Any idea how to get the "New Posts" query to exclude already read threads...like a "New Unread Posts"?

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

It asks why you want to deletet/edit messages.;)

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Why are there little circles with different colors in them next to our forum handles?

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

That's what I want to know. Yours, Ken, is blue right now, mine is green.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Don't ask questions.;):D

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

I bet you have to not be anonymously on line for it to be green.

When I click on Add to Drtyfn's Reputation, it doesn't ask for smart ass....???

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Thank you Phil!

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

I noticed that some posts haven't shown up on the new forums.
And you only have five minutes to edit a post. It would be nice if that could change.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

It's like a mood ring, it turns different colors depending on how e-enraged you are!:D

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Will H2source.com send us here after you shut down the other site? I really like my sticker.;)

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

What about adding something in the footer similar to what was in the other site so that you can click to navigate. Right now it's a GO button down at the bottom or you have to scroll all the way back up to the top.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Does the images thingy not work?

You link an image and hit save and it posts a link, not the image.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Is the "GO" button confusing you ;)

I agree, I like the links they way they were better but one step at a time :)

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Linked image.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Have you changed your setting for the advance postings features?
At the bottom of the "Edit Options" page you can select which "Message Editor Interface" to use.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Why am I "Off the Scale"?

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

If you put your cursor over my red light thingy, it says "MarineHawk is invisible."

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Dork, yours won't show the red to anyone but you.;)

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

So, I don't see any right now but will there be chat rooms?

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Did anyone other than DEI use Chat anyway?:p

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Interesting. In that case I would have expected it to say "You are invisible." Kind of freaky the way the elcova machine talks to me in the 3rd person.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

No, but there will be a chat hot tub and a chat party bus.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Telling people you're invisible is like saying you're an ass who is actively avoiding them. So most systems that have invisible/cloaking modes generally just show you as offline or not around instead. Most of the IM clients do this too.

Now is the elcova machine actually talking to you?

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Well then that more than makes up for it :D

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

But when it says "KenP is offline," the elcova machine is being affirmatively dishonest, isn't it?

It's more kind of chanting to me.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

It might be, it might not be.
Ruh roh. I think you deserve some negative reputation points, now.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

You can't hurt me; I'm invisible.:cool:

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Yep, it shows the pic in the editor and the preview but when it posted, it made it a link.

I'll see if it does the same thing to yours. The code is different between yours and mine, though.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

Well, it seems to be a problem with the image formatting.

When you upload an image to the site, it used php for a link to the image.

You then can't simply use the image dealy to show that image from the site. Unless there is another way.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

That's little Go button thingy I was talking about.

It's not as navigatory convenient as a regular navigation bar that you can simply click on such as is at the top of every page.

Re: Welcome to the New Elcova Forums
 

I have not uploaded any pics to the new forum yet but am using a link to my photobucket account.
