Hey everyone , Randymon and Co. have been busy!
Looks great!

**Jeffmon** · June 16th, 2009, 04:23 PM

Hi everyone. Is couples going to import the posts from the old message board into the new one. Being unsure of what system (specifically database) the old mb uses, it shouldn't be to difficult to write some scripts to do the importing into the new mb database.

**KrisJamie** · June 17th, 2009, 08:19 AM

I think it will remain searchable, but not "imported" into any existing forum. Is this correct Randy?

**Sue and Randy** · June 17th, 2009, 08:48 PM

well i am certainly having fun with the new message board. lots of great features. hope everyone transitions well to it.

Randy

I agree Randy. I'm having a good time with it too! And it seems to update quicker than the old one. Perhaps because there are not many posting to it yet. It is fun to see how many times a topic has been viewed or replied to. That is fun.

**Deet1114** · June 19th, 2009, 07:03 AM

Well, it is going to take a little getting used to, but it sure looks like it is a great improvement. Hope I have time at work today to play with it! Should be fun, thanks Couples again, you just keep getting better and better!

Lost..I am simply LOST on how to use this MB.

Hugs

TW

It has BIG print capabilities for those days our eyes fail us.

If you click on the HELP and ask your question someone will response with help.

For many it will be a learning curve to understand new features being introduced but for the most part it has the same features plus a few added bells and whistles.

One feature you'll notice is the categories are now a seperate section listed in the pink bar at the top.

Sorry TW there is NO dedicated Salty Dog section.

I am loving this....although I still can't do anything fancy, like type in color LOL SO I am giving all this a try and it probably won't work

**greanjac** · June 23rd, 2009, 07:09 AM

Looka like I have some learnin to do. Hope this works?

**leoconnor** · June 23rd, 2009, 07:29 AM

Randy & Couples IT staff -- this is awesome. Now I don't have to try to remember my HTML class

(thank you!) .

The most painful part was waiting for my confirmation email.

Tommy: You CAN DO IT!!! (and we can have on-site remedial training if needed).

**Denise_Chef** · June 23rd, 2009, 07:45 AM

So far so good. I was able to re-register with no problems. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!!! Am looking forward to see what else couples has up its sleeves.

**mrsalexander** · June 23rd, 2009, 08:00 AM

made the switch to the new side, yay! good job couples...always coming up with something new for us

**Jeffmon** · June 23rd, 2009, 08:07 AM

Kristin,

To type in color, simply select the drop down (arrow) next to the "A" with the black color bar and select the color you want, like red or blue. It works very similar to most word processing programs like Word.

Randy - I tried to bookmark the new message board, but it appears that the URL is the same as the old one. Any suggestions?

**Blondie** · June 23rd, 2009, 08:40 AM

It is going to take a little while to get use to this, but I think I am going to like it.

Great Job Randymon and Company!

**ironranger** · June 23rd, 2009, 08:42 AM

Don't like it, didn't like the questions asked when signing up. You took a great MB and made it less so.

**Cajun_b** · June 23rd, 2009, 09:01 AM

The new message board is great. Love the layouy and all the new features.

FWIW, VBulletin is pretty much the standard of web message boards everywhere. Common features that didn't work on the previous format, like image tags and such, work fantastically here.

The organization of forums and sub-forums should keep things a little more simple as well, as opposed to the wall of posts with no formatting.

That said, you can't please everyone, and I'm sure you won't be the only one to not like it. Do give it a chance, however.

**backdoc** · June 23rd, 2009, 09:39 AM

Love the new message board. I think it is going to take me a little while to figure it all out though!

Have a great day everyone!

**kycouple** · June 23rd, 2009, 09:44 AM

Got signed up this morning and was thankful to get my same user name. Looking forward to seeing how this new board works out. I am sure there will be a big learning curve for some of us but it should be worth it.

How do I make the smileys?

**bigwillie** · June 23rd, 2009, 09:56 AM

Just wanted to test the new site to see if it works....

Spell check is a great asset...

Thanks. It will take some getting use to but change is good...

**Seandymon** · June 23rd, 2009, 09:57 AM

Hello bacdoc!

There are two options when you are posting a message. You will see a tab that says post reply (this is found right below the last post) When you click that, as supposed to the large quick reply box slightly lower, you get more options for posting...like smileys!
