Well, you've read the notes, the notes were all that you could read because this here board wasn't working, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home, which will be as soon as they enter the new site address.

And the word of the day is: SLUGABED!

Ginny · « **Reply #2 on:** October 01, 2008, 12:14:42 PM »

Wednesday afternoon greetings! What a weird day - no online catalog here at work, no phones, very slow email, and, worst of all, no HHW!

So, is this our new look?

Kerry · « **Reply #3 on:** October 01, 2008, 12:20:57 PM »

Well, I'm here and confused by all these here changes. Are they temporary, or is this the new look? If it is the NEW LOOK, I like Dior's "New Look" back in about 1947 better.

Let's see if this works.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!

Well, I guess we're back online.

Is there a box to type a post without using the reply link?

This is going to take a bit of getting used to.

bk · « **Reply #7 on:** October 01, 2008, 12:29:11 PM »

Yes, this is the new look, I guess. We'll get used to it. We didn't even have avatars when it first went up, but that's working. Bakalor, over the next few days, will try to restore some of the missing links. Meanwhile, we're back and I missed you all terribly and it's been a rather wretched three hours of the morning dealing with this non-stop.

Apparently, the quick reply box is no longer with us, although Bakalor will check to see if he needs to change a code or something.

We're STILL on page one???

George · « **Reply #10 on:** October 01, 2008, 12:34:19 PM »

I made it! It sure looks weird...I mean different.

So, since the TOD is "ask bk" - hows about sharing the "Cheese Puff" recipe?

I know she uses parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, onions and spices, but that's all I know.

Ben · « **Reply #13 on:** October 01, 2008, 12:37:49 PM »

Well, we got used to the old new board, we will get used to the new new board. Always the optimist.

bk · « **Reply #14 on:** October 01, 2008, 12:38:37 PM »

It doesn't look THAT different. We're missing the links to the other parts of the site, but those are all on the home page where the notes are, and that address and software is the same. And we're missing the quick reply box - Bakalor has looked for the setting, but can't find it - he'll look again later, but it may have been done away with for this version of this software. I'm going to ask on the software site. If anyone notices anything else that's weird, let me know and I'll pass it along to Bakalor. Just remember how weird it was when we first got the board.

Good afternoon, all! I'm happy to know it isn't my Mac, which has been acting up quite a bit on Firefox this morning. I had to reboot it twice.

I slept very badly last night, but I mustered my energies, got to the pharmacy to drop off two prescriptions, walked back from 68th Street, stopped at the market and bought two bags' worth of groceries for $75.88! Oy.

Now, back to proofing.

bk · « **Reply #16 on:** October 01, 2008, 12:46:09 PM »

Seems like less posts per page, too. Anything else?

bk · « **Reply #17 on:** October 01, 2008, 12:46:50 PM »

I gotta tell you. One weird thing is that when I make a post it takes me back outside to the topics. Don't like that.

td · « **Reply #18 on:** October 01, 2008, 12:55:56 PM »

Ooooh! It looks like a Yuko message board. . .
I dunno. I suppose we will get used to it.
Change is always weird when unexpected.
Let's see, I've done laundry, had breakfast, went grocery shopping, uploaded some photos, cleaned out unnecessary files on my computer and have finally arrived here.

ASK BK DAY QUERY: Remember that other game we used to play on and off, the one where we wrote a story? Maybe we could do that on some Mondays now that initials have gone away. . .

bk · « **Reply #19 on:** October 01, 2008, 12:57:20 PM »

Yes, I loved the story thing. We'll do it soon.

bk · « **Reply #20 on:** October 01, 2008, 01:01:32 PM »

Weird that the only place you can see who's on the board is now at the bottom of the home page of the board.

bk · « **Reply #21 on:** October 01, 2008, 01:05:11 PM »

Jose is having problems - we're trying to figure out exactly what they are.

MBarnum · « **Reply #22 on:** October 01, 2008, 01:10:08 PM »

Whew, I couldn't figure out how to post...but then realized I was not logged in.

It is amazing how much you miss something when it is unavailable!

bk · « **Reply #23 on:** October 01, 2008, 01:15:37 PM »

Yes, everyone will have to re-log in and re-give their password a second time for security.

bk · « **Reply #24 on:** October 01, 2008, 01:17:00 PM »

I posted on the software message board and got an immediate response - so I've forwarded that to Bakalor and hopefuly he'll have time to do what they're suggesting, and that will get us our Quick Reply box back and when we post we won't be taken back to the topic, but we'll stay within the posts as we used to, if that makes sense.

JMK · « **Reply #25 on:** October 01, 2008, 01:20:34 PM »

BK bans political speech, the Dow tanks, and the old Board disappears. Mere coincidence? I think not!

I find it most unseemly that the new Board has a "Go Down" hyperlink.

bk · « **Reply #26 on:** October 01, 2008, 01:22:23 PM »

I'm also not getting "new" posts occasionally, like when I just logged on it should have shown me there was a "new" post from JMK but it didn't. It has earlier. Weird.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #27 on:** October 01, 2008, 01:23:55 PM »

Well this is interesting.

bk · « **Reply #28 on:** October 01, 2008, 01:25:51 PM »

Anybody else not getting "new" icon?

bk · « **Reply #29 on:** October 01, 2008, 01:40:19 PM »

Okay, we all know it's going to take some getting used to the new look, but it's really the same board that it was.
