the 10 character thing is killing me ! I just want to post a smiley or just "yes" ;) . I am going to have to use a lot of this ---> "!" :D

Hi Sissy VEE!!!!!! We HAVE to use 10 characters....noooooooooo :hand::bootyshake:<--------------look Vee...just to make you laugh!

Ok, one more thing for now - whenever I click on a link within a post it opens in a new tab. That's fine for external sites, but for specktra links (such as the link to this thread from the welcome back announcement) it's rather annoying as I have to remember to close the old one. Any chance this could be changed at some stage?

I'm using Safari on an iPad.

I'd also love to have the Subscriptions button back

:D EOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Soooooo missed you!!! That smiley though :D
If you go to http://www.specktra.net/usercp.php you can see all your subscribed posts there. It doesnt take you to the new posts directly though just the first page :(

And we cannot just talk via Smileys now unless it is 10 smileys or a smiley and 10 "!" :D

we have the subscriptions under "Settings" but not the activity one that takes us directly to the new posts :(

Hmm I found the subscriptions here (after a lot of searching :D) - http://www.specktra.net/subscription.php?folderid=0 It takes me to the last post but there's a "view first unread", so it's fine.


The only thing I really miss is the like button.

I noticed that the feature I miss the most is the green pop up thingie at the botton showing there are new posts in the thread.

Maybe you're still working on it, but I can't find the emoji's list and I can't see how many new posts there are in a thread (so you can go directly to the new posts). Again, maybe I'm just being impatient and you're still busy with this stuff! :) The site is looking great btw! :D

If you go to the settings page, it will display your subscribed posts with unread comments (although i havent figured out how to get to the new posts directly as the link takes you to the first post of the thread). for now i have sorted ti show latest first.

I really miss this feature. Now I have to look where the new posts start. I hope the feature will return soon. :) But no pressure! I can imagine how busy you all are.

Yes So much!! Its hard trying to figure out where the new posts start esp when it is an active thread. For now if you go to "general settings" and scroll down there is an option to change "Thread display mode". if you keep that to "Linear-newest first" it will take you to the last post instead of the first page first post!!

Hmm I found the subscriptions here (after a lot of searching :D) - http://www.specktra.net/subscription.php?folderid=0 It takes me to the last post but there's a "view first unread", so it's fine.

Oh you darling, so the little blue circle with down arrows is the 'go to first new post' button, hurray! (I'll add a pic in a mo if I can figure that bit out LOL. In that case it would be great if that could be made a bit bigger in place of the apparently redundant speech bubble with arrow at the left of the thread title.

:Dyes thats where the setting link leads to on the left. but the general landing page in settings displays unread subscribed threads and private messages alone instead of the whole subscribed list!! ;)

Here's where the new posts button is for those like me who couldn't figure it out: (as before, click on the pic to see it bigger)

I really like just seeing the subscribed threads with new posts, maybe even enough to overcome the lack of a one-click subs button :)

Yes, me too :D This is how the landing page of "Settings" look like. (http://www.specktra.net/usercp.php)
the page displays just the subscribed posts with new posts. you can chosse view all subscribed as well as PM from there.
ETA: THAT has to be the tiniest attachment ever :D

Oh ok, I prefer to see only the subscriptions, especially since I have to refresh the page to see if there are new posts now.

Thank you! I didn't notice it there. How did you quote multiple people? I had to copy-paste now :D


Also is the forum too big only for my monitor?

I'm not sure why some of the threads are highlighted.
And last question - can we change the size of the pictures? The old pictures are normal-sized, which makes me think that there is a way to do that.

I'd like to see the return of the drop-down navigation under forum threads and sections. It'll be that much easier to navigate from forum to forum. :nods:

This!!

Thanks for all of your hard work though- I really do appreciate it.

I do miss the "thanks" feature, though.
