Welcome to the new and improved Wordsmith Talk.
It's running on a new server (faster), and new software (more features). Any bugs, problems, etc? Post them here.

Quite a surprise! And thanks I had my password well stored. Hope everyone had . On checking 'Your preferences', I noticed both email choices , for posts and personal messages had been changed from yes to no. Hope everyone checks. The coloring is nice and for the rest just a matter of getting used to. Oh and it's not possilble to get to the board through last weeks'emails? Changes  Received and sent messages on one page. Kind regards, Branshea And finally: congratulations ! Everything is still there.

Well I am gonna grumble. I haven't figured out a way at the top menu to get the program to show me where unread messages are; if this can't be done we have taken a stepbackward IMNSHO.

there does seem to be something wrong with the Unread Messages feature. although I see yellow shading on the "tablet"s on the top forum menu, at the second level the shading is gone after I've read a previous new message.
boy, that makes little sense to me after reading it..

Yes, I got one and was alerted by email. But in my preferences early this morning I noticed that the email options had been changed from yes to no . So if this has happened to all of us no one gets an email untill he / she has restored this.
I had trouble too. The message you send/back comes in the same list as the received ones and reads at the bottom whether unread by : X (the one you sent it to) or when the receiver has read it says : unread by none.
Have to get used to it. Plus the reminder of the password does not yet work.
TedReminton , there is my stuff , where you click on and get a little menu. I posted and recieved from there but it is confusing still a bit. But I woke up earlier and took the morning to get somewhere.
Joe , if you check you email dots on My Preferences through My Stuff, I will send you a test message right now.

oy. this is going to take some getting used to. I miss the little "index" link at the bottom of the thread, though I think the little "hop to" will serve a similar function. and "Active Topics" at the top should get us the unread posts.
all-in-all though, pretty different.
ah! I found "Index" at the bottom, on the left...
still need to have better icons for read-unread.

OK. New discovery . Your mails and remails become a seperate thread with the adressed to person. I sent to Jackie --- she sent me back and this does not show in my messages list , but when you click on your sent letter, the thread with this person you sent your message to turns up and you can check wheter it has been read or no.. Wooow.
Second: Every new post you make outside that mail and remail thread , even to the same person becomes a new threadpage. Pfff,
it is complicated.
I call this severe upgrading .

Egad--all new to me! Where's the Who's Online--anybody know? It'd be cool be able to use that again.
And--is there a way we can change the overall theme? I miss my blue!
Still lots to explore, but I did just check yesterday's notice of a PM, and my result was the same as Branny's--it didn't work.
