I can put the coloured text plugin in this weekend, Sugilite. It's on the list. Give it time.

You are so sweet, just as long as I know it's slated to go in sometime I'm happy. I love color what can I say.

Choose a different skin.

Everyone else's skin choice is none of your concern.

I can't go just to new posts in a thread. And I don't like that going to a recent post takes me to the start of the thread, not where that post is. And when I get a notification that someone has quoted me I can't hit the notification and go to the post.
All of this make it take ages to move around and I don't have much time from work. I need to be able to zip on and off quickly.

Why is Sugi answering questions about the board? And being snotty with BTDT about it to boot.

Try using New Topics instead of Recent Posts, laterbloomer. With New Topics, you can see the latest post, when it was posted, and clicking it will take you directly to it. For me, if I get a notification I've been quoted, I just click on the name of the thread and it takes me to the post in question. Don't know what the problem might be there, but I can't duplicate it on any browser.
As far as Sugi answering questions, I'd hope we all will answer questions about the board if we have the answers. It's a good thing to be helpful to one another as we're all learning new things right now.

Maybe because Sugi actually spent time over on the Test Board BEFORE V5 installation took place, testing things out, got to know the diffrerent new functions, and she's familiar with how things work now. If more had done that when they had the chance, there wouldn't be so many "How Do I?" questions.....

she's answering questions because she's one of the ones who actually bothered to try things out ahead of time. so, she's actually a good resource. and i don't really view her comment as being snotty so much as accurate. none of the personal text formatting we choose is going to look good to everyone else because we all use different skins. we choose it for OURSELVES. that's all she's trying to say.
As for your other issues, I'm not sure what's going on there. when you talk about the notification not going to the post, do you mean from the notifications area in your profile? I know that if you click the thread name in there it will take you to the thread but i can't recall if it takes you to that specific post.

Mmhmm the new post feature is working now. I'm not sure what happened there. Moon I will try your thing. As for Sugi, why don't you just make her an admin? It is really odd to be getting announcements and such from someone that is just another poster.

I tested the quote notification thing as well and it took me to the specific post.
I don't think it's weird to have a non admin answering questions. billisonboard does it too as do many others as they learn things. i do it on at least 2 other boards. i figure, if you know the answer, then ANSWER!

When I got to Activity and hit the quote I am taken to the first post of the thread. I can't test the notifications thing yet.

Actually, you may be able to, even if you don't have a number bubble. just go into your profile, click on the notifications tab, and then find one that says you were quoted. click on the thread name and it should take you directly to that post.

Okay, that time it worked but the bubble never showed up saying you had quoted me. Okay, it is obvious these things are working for you guys. It must be on my side. I'll look around.

Not that it matters, but I don't recall you spending a lot of time over on the V5 Test Board when you had the opportunity to actually test things out and learn how the different functions work before the board was upgraded when you had the chance, Later. It's not like it wasn't advertised with links and plenty of time to learn.

SL it's not a matter that I don't know how stuff is supposed to work. It wasn't working. And now it is. It might be something on the set up of my work computer. And not for nothin, you did go over to the test board and have had way more problems than I have. What did you do wrong?

I'm pretty sure you can take care of yourself. Just the combination of Sugi doing so many announcement threads and then coming across that is just weird to me. I have actually answered questions for folks myself.

I wasn't worried about your feelings. <gasp> ...and I probably didn't explain my thoughts well enough with sugilite... to my thinking, I go color font for effect rather than fun... I'd want to preview what I paint (I'm somewhat OCD) but can't, since people can change their skins (my canvas)... and I'm not about to put Pittsburgh Gold on top of San Diego Blue...

Just the combination of Sugi doing so many announcement threads and then coming across that is just weird to me. What's weird about it? It's been explained TWICE - by Moon and myself - if Sugi (and others) know the answer they give it - to help fellow-posters solve a problem or learn. If Sugi (or anyone else) wants to start a thread it's no differerent than you starting one.
At least she's making an effort to help if she has the answer.

I noticed earlier that it was realllllly slow to add the video in posts on the music thread. but when i went to this one, it showed right up. is it still not showing on your desktop Tenn? Sorry I am just gettng back to you Moon. I tried to respond earlier but Proboards wasn't playing nice with with my tablet 5 hours ago. I just checked the Everything Else thread to see if the Youtube video was showing up and and it still is not showing up. I felt around blindly in the empty space (where they video might be in the post) with my curser to see if I might strike the play button but got no return. So no. The video is not showing up. I went over to the music thread and didn't see any videos there either. I quoted a few of the posts and did see there were Youtube video links in the quoted material. Maybe it is just my computer. I do see that BBCode is highlighted and not Visual. Could that be the problem? And if it is the problem, how can I permanently change from BBCode to Visual. I tried to change it but it won't permanently change.

No, your choice of bbcode as default won't be the problem. I use that myself. Not sure why you're not seeing them now. Perhaps you have some extension turned off in your browser?

IE9 mmhmm. Last week I could watch Youtube videos here not now.
Again, I can see the videos on my tablet. Just not on the desktop computer. It's not a biggie. I can have my tablet next to me on the desktop. Over kill with data but what the heck.

It's some setting or plugin on the tablet, I'd think, Tenn. Do you have Adblock, or something like that installed on the tablet? If so, you can disable it for this site. The fact that it's not showing up at all leads me to think it's being filtered out by your tablet's system.
