I can barely fit two post on my screen. I can't even get all the topics on one screen. Dan, u still using a 700m? or Eli check it out on ur m1210 if you still have it.

Believe it or not...I still have that M1210, paid $2,000 for it about 4 years ago and it's still a rock solid laptop. I love it! (Had to do some upgrades over the years, but still...)

Dan, sorry to burst the bubble here, but in my opinion a user should ALWAYS be able to go back and edit a post. The pros (of realizing you didn't say something correctly, or adding info to your original post, or editing and saying that what you originally said was found to be wrong) far outweighs the cons (of a user deleting his post and then saying he never said such a thing...)

Just my 2 cents. Although I have the power to change it, and it doesn't affect me anyway, I'll let you decide.

Stece2, with this one, I'm with you.

Maybe a good solution is to have a few moderators and they will be able to edit posts and if people want a post edited, they can send the changes to the mod and the mod will make the change

You were always able to do that till now, if you found it nessessary, but why go through the bother for everyone involved

I saw you had it by Peretz's Superbowl party '07. I had the 700m then, and you inspired me to get the m1210. I got it in great condition used on eBay for < $400.

I'll second that. On mobiles it works much better. I like the new abilities to edit and to go to full mode, I used to use skweezer to get it, because it would automatically go to wap (I might stiil use it as it takes long on my phone). Also, I saw mentioned earlier, is it possible to have timestamps in wap mode?

Not sure if it was done on purpose (great idea if it was) but all email addresses are no hidden and there is now an option to send an email instead of a pm

@David
I'm pretty sure that is how it was before...

Im sure its not how it was before. Before, there was an option to have your email address hidden. Now it seems, they are all hidden and you can send an email to someone, but it wont show you their email address (even if they did not originally elect to have it hidden)

So, is everyone happy for the most part with the new design? Anything else we need to change?

(chaik'l, with a wiki anyone could edit the list of requests for forum changes!)

Was that exclemation point as in it's not a good idea, or it's a great idea?

Also when a thread has more than 8 pages there is only one page after the ... I think there should be at least 2

I meant it's a good idea. We've played around with the ... And page counts but can't seem to please everyone because there are not enough options. For now, I believe threads up to 10 pages show all pages.

I've added "multiple-quote" feature to the forum. You can now click multiple-quote above a few different posts and see them all appear in the reply box at the bottom, where you can now respond to different people at the same time.

Edit: I tried a multi-quote mod but it didn't work. Instead, just click the regular "Quote" button on all the posts you want to quote and it seems to work.

I've also updated everyone's post count to reflect the actual value. Up until now there were mistakes.

I am trying to find a mod to allow everyone to set the font how they like it instead of it being forum-wide.

Eli · « **Reply #114 on:** July 03, 2010, 03:45:11 PM »

AJAX Quick Reply is back.

Also, added a "Reason for editing" so you can see why a user edited the post.

Eli · « **Reply #115 on:** July 03, 2010, 05:19:32 PM »

On the bottom of every page you should now see "Curve Mobile Theme". It's a new theme designed primarily for devices like the iphone but I can't get it to work yet on the BB.

Edit: Should be working on BB now. I think it looks pretty cool. Lemme know...

Can you get the stars back?
Also, I liked the country flags even though I think most people could guess mine.

I'm no Graphic designer or anything, but I messed around in paint. What do guys think about something like this instead of stars

md · « **Reply #118 on:** July 03, 2010, 10:13:06 PM »

Is there a way to quote from the mobile site?

Lou Bob · « **Reply #119 on:** July 04, 2010, 01:53:17 AM »

Curve theme is good
