Observations and comments about the forum upgrade

If you check out my Madaho's post or the New in Town post about Alamo and Casa Bar, there are no closed paranthesis where there should be.

Thanks.

Just FYI:

I love the "Exempt post from automatic text cleanup" option when you submit a post. That will improve things dramatically. You can finally post BA (hopefully) and use parentheses without getting improperly corrected. Great new feature. I would suggest it as the default.

What happened to the Abbreviations Thread in the Top Bar?

Is it me or was there previously greater choice in fonts and the like (I think it was just below the 'Icons' section under the text window)?

I agree with World Traveler. He may be able to live without abbreviations but some of them I just can't figure out!

Is that a BIG DEAL to go back and get that valuable list and add.

Thanks for all your efforts.

I guess we will have to use the one from the International site.

Come on guys, you couldn't find this thread by yourself?

Thanks for all your hard work!

How do I get all of the threads presented in newest to oldest order? Most are sorted that way but every once in a way one is not.

Thanks, Bob

I would welcome the "Skip Automatic Text Cleanup" box. Or whatever it was called. Back. The current text editor is only marginally better than the previous one, and possibly it's the same one. It still mangles parentheses at the end of sentences and dashes to offset text (like the ones I'm using now and the dashes I tried to use above to offset "or whatever it was called".

I hate the automatic grammar editor. I would like to opt out of it. The parentheses stuff is maddening, and I don't like the automatic capitalization stuff.

Ugh! It makes more work than it saves.

I have no idea why anyone would object to proper nouns and the first word in a sentence being proper cased.

I had originally installed the "Exempt this post from the TCS" option, but then there were guys who would do exactly that, then write like 1st graders, thus forcing me to correct their abdominal writing. Fuck that. (See below)

Nevertheless, as before, you may bypass the TCS by first posting whatever text you want, then by immediately editing your post as desired as the TCS is [u]not[/u] [u]invoked[/u] when editing a post. Of course, anyone who deliberately bypasses the TCS to post text in deliberate violation of this forum's Posting Guidelines will be banned without comment.

The TCS (Text Cleanup Script) saves me hundreds of man hours every year, and there's no fucking way in hell that I will ever go back to manually correcting everyone's punctuation and capitalization.

The bottom line is that every reader of this forum would quickly learn to appreciate the editing work that I once did manually, and that the TCS now does automatically, if I started letting all the unedited, unformatted, uncapitalized reports get posted in the forum in all their unfettered glory. However, there's no danger of that happening because I know something that some of you apparently have never considered: This forum receives 2,000 to 3,000 unique visitors a day, and that's because the forum is very "readable" specifically because of the minimum requirements of the Forum's Posting Guidelines, as effected by the TCS. As they say in the radio business [i]"You don't run a show for the benefit of the callers, you run it for the benefit of the listeners"[/i].
