Observations and comments about the forum upgrade

[Jackson]

Of course.

That is the reason for upgrading the ap site first.

Thanks,

Please don't add it to ISG until you've got it thoroughly debugged here, and can apply all of the corrections "out of the box" to isg.

Well, the first problem I have is when I get the initial "you can't come in here" page. Fortunately, the software let me in anyways when I clicked on this "new thread. "

Next problem I noticed was that it messes up my formatting and punctuation. It knocked capital letters to lower-case, stripped out punctuation marks, removed line-feeds between paragraphs and leading spaces at the beginning of paragraphs. (this posted with the extra line-feeds between paragraphs, until I corrected it to thank you for that! it reminds me of a book my mom told me about, published in China just after the end of world war ii, an english-language coursebook that was very popular as a souvenir among the diplomatic community in nanjing. Its title, printed boldly on the book's cover and spine, was "correctly english".

This feels like "correctly weblish", and I hope you can indeed correct everything. Please don't add it to ISG until you've got it thoroughly debugged here, and can apply all of the corrections "out of the box" to isg.

Best regards and positive wishes,

Westy

Looks like you have to enter the bb codes in order to post a link. Http://www.Politicsdaily.Com/tag/back+taxes+owed/the"automatically parse links in text"feature is not working, also esten is correct I can not enter a line break before or after the link and where it does allow line breaks it only allows one.

Also it doesn't like capital letters very much, I can not write "bb" code or "esten" with a capital but I can Jackson.

Looks like you're going to be busy Jackson, good luck.

Posting urls doesn't seem to work. The double backslash gets converted to a single and a space gets added after all the peRiods in the address.

Esten,

I'm not finished yet.

The front page will be restored.

The formatting bugs will be corrected.

Thanks,

Jackson

ap had a great distinctive front page before with advertisers and valuable services, quick links to other sites, a banner, tips, polls, temperature, exchange rate, etc etc. Now it's a bland front page that looks like a million others.

Also there are major formatting bugs. I just posted in the politics thread and encountered the following issues:

- could not capitalize words like obama, bush, fox news, etc etc

- could not separate post into paragraphs. It's one big paragraph, doesn't allow more than 1 line break at a time

- could not write the word "peRiodically" without the letter "r" being capitalized

- could not use a hyphen between words

Etc

Exon

I thought you were the kind of guy that embraced “change”.

Just testing the forum's function after upgrading the software.

Exon is a cocksucker.

Okay, I guess it works.

At first I didn't care for the new software, but after stumbling around for awhile I've changed my mind. I like the Multi-Quote function and it appears we can now embed video in a post. However I hope this doesn't mean we'll be subjected to video of things like Exon getting a handjob! Yikes

If you are seeking opinions, I do not like this new format.
