Need 15 testers to help test new message board system.
All you need to do is browse thru, post to the board, suggest features that are currently not there, and mess around with the current features.
Hopefully some will reply, hopefully a mac user or two will also join in.
Basically test functionality of board. Then each step of process will add new feature and test it until we have a board system ready to go live.
I have transfered this full board over to new system.
Please post here or PM me that you are interested.

sure jon. more than happy to help.

Looks okay from here jon... My 6 year old PC isn't even close to a MAC, but I don't seem to be having any problems which is surprising considering my computer talents. :lol:

Hey, Jon, I guess I should speak up and see if I can be of help.
I'm running a 3-year-old iMac and upgrading to OS-X tomorrow (8 November). I use Firefox as a browser, with Safari as a backup (both still in the machine but only use the FF most of the time).
What do I need to do?
-
Let me know what I can do Jon.

Jon has gone to a lot of work to keep this LSR web site the best there is. Any support and input will make it even better. There is even more to be added and you will be happy with the end result.

Cant believe I need to ask again. But still need about 7 more takers on testing out new board.
Need to test it out, post, check features, add input, maybe list some features you would like to see...
I have one mac user, anybody else running a mac one more would be nice.
PM me.

Jon --
It looks like you didn't get my PM. I've got a Mac and I'll help out as best I can. I am certainly lectrily challenged (as you may remember), but I'll do what I can.

I can help but it will be a three or four days before I can give some serious time. I am a PC user running Windows XP through Explorer 6.0 over broadband . . .

As near as I can tell, the chat deal is no longer working

Rich.Jon told me there is no change in the chat at this time, maybe at a later date.
-
I will be able to test in a couple days.
Using both a win98 system running Netscape and an XP system running EI.

Just tried the live chat a couple times, didn't appear to be anyone there or I mess up with the new system? Do like the general are breakdowns with the new look.
-
Correction, area breakdowns.
-
I and a few others got on last night. Takes longer to load than it used to
-
Jon, count me in. It's another MAC on the system.
I will be using Safari and Comcast.

Jon,
something crashed - when I checked the new forum and opened a issue the page shows only the first 3 notes, not the other.
The lastest "theme" showed my first note and your answer - but the note with the "showing" problem didn't show up.
Due to this that I don't know if you can read my note, I used this way to get you the information.
-
I couldn't get on last night, tried again today and had to right click to open and log on to the chat line.
GB :shock:

Thanx Glen..Last August was my 8th year @ Speedweek. Got hooked as a spectator & have been working on getting a brick ready to run down the black line w/my friend Kevin. Hopefully next year :D . After watching Joe make his pass of 246 @ speedweek I came home & bought a Ducati. That about sums me up..eth.

Jon,I miss the right side display of new posts, it was easier to see what was new than the new board. Might just be me---

No not just you, had quite the time myself until I realized I had been missing posts when I hadn't been checking regular and the board had been active. New way kind of forces me to take a good look at all the boards for activity, something I seldom did under the old system while just looking for a quick speed fix. Now that I've gotten by the adjustment hurdle I wonder how much I would use or rely on the right side display even if it were to be reinstated. Think Jon said a new home page is in the works anyway.........
-
if you open the Forum window, scroll down, there you see everything....means newest post...so as at the old one on the side...now it's only on the bottom...
-
I really like that you can click on "Show unread posts since last visit." and get them all in one place. If you haven't visited for a while you can cherry pick the ones you want to read and leave the rest. By going to the end of each subject and working back you get to where you last read or you can refresh your memory on a subject which is sometimes necessary with us older folk.

I miss the person's location, where they live. It was on the old board, wasn't it, or am I losing it :cry:.
I keep looking over there to see the state or country.
c ya,
Sum
-
Hi Sum. I'll second that.
Pete
-
Gosh. I remember where I'm at.
Usually. :-)
Actually, I'll bet it's just something that hasn't been turned on yet.
Mike

I would also like to see the writer?s location come back.
John
-
Ok I put together the code to show members location now. If one is NOT shown then the user does not have the location entered in their profile.
It show show above post count.
Jon
-
Thanks Jon. I think the new layout is doing great. :-D
Another thing you might look at when you have time is the "comments" area in the picture gallery, it won't let you post comments about a photo but shows a place for it. It worked on the test site but not here.
I could use a spell check too...
Thanks again for all the hard work!
-
Thanks Jon. I think the new layout is doing great. :-D

Ditto on the layout. I could use a spell check also.

Had figured loseing the locations was just part of the "price of progress" so hadn't mentioned it. Had really missed them so THANKS for reinstateing them.
Sure is nice in this day and age to have a system available where the sugestion not only gets read but acted upon, in less than 24 hrs yet.
Site just continues to get better, THANK YOU, all the hard work is very much appreciated at this end.

Thanks for the "location" again :-). I was kind of leery of mentioning it as I know you have been working hard.
Did you get the streamliner??
c ya,
Sum

My thanks for the "location" and everything else as well! If possible, my vote for spell check when time permits.
