Just updated the board software from version 7.0 to 7.4. For the curious, here's a list of what's new. Let me know if something doesn't work. Thanks.

Kia ora,
I no longer have permission to view a users profile.

Yow--what is a Use link and what are Saved Queries ?

And, please, where is the showmembers page ? I really miss that.

Edit: sorry, olly--I can't help you with that.

Uh-oh: I just tried to send doc comfort a PM, and got: "doc_comfort is over their Private Topic limit." Same for twosleepy, latishya, and Faldage.

"blaaskaak's mod"
Found in text about the newest changes.

Blaaskaak is a Dutch wordt that means someone who brags, a puffed up person.

strange, but the style chooser is now down at the bottom next to the "mark all read" link.

give me a couple of days, and I'll see how I like the new stuff! :¬ )
Posted By: Jackie Re: Software update - 10/23/08 05:00 PM
Yeah, and the smiley menu is now all the way to the left, and there's something called a media tag, whatever that is.

And, I saw that blaaskaak is one of the participants in that software stuff; wonder if he's Dutch?

What do you mean Jackiebean? There is no such word in any other language so:

Don’t blame it on the sunshine
Don’t blame it on the moonlight
Don’t blame it on the good times
Blame it on the blaaskaak!

(literally it means blowjaw)
(but this only seems to have to do with today's birthday stuff.) )

You've personally checked the other 7000 or so languages to be able to state this with such certainty? smirk

I only have three private messages and I'm over my total? Also, where did you see the "Use List", "Saved Queries" and 'Media" things you mentioned? Are they Admin-only goodies? Like Olly, I can't view users' profiles either.

Yes, any other word maybe; not this one. You might find it in Afrikaans, which is a hybrid Dutch and maybe in Indonesia or some tiny WestIndian island as a leftover from colonial times though. (bragging Branny)
blaaskaak

(about profile vieuwing.We don't even have permission to vieuw our own profile)
PM's are O.K with me. I saw I got 27 pages hanging on. I will do a delete-session tomorrow. Maybe I'm using all the space there is?

I only have three private messages and I'm over my total? My point exactly.
Also, where did you see the "Use List", "Saved Queries" and 'Media" things you mentioned? Are they Admin-only goodies? They're in the link Anu posted (man, I wish he'd change his name to Any, so I wouldn't keep having to correct my typing!); that's where that blaakaaask person is listed, too. Woops--not the media button ; it's now an option when you make a post.
Like Olly, I can't view users' profiles either. This, I didn't know. I can see mine and others'. Anu? Hay-ulp, please?

(Aside: I thought about some of you one-syllable fanatics this afternoon when I heard somebody on the news say gray-und...twice.)

Edit: Whoa, I've seen a mention of spiders before!

Looks like the update changed all these settings. I tried to enable View Profile and other settings, but I get an error message. I've filed a bug report with the software developer. I'll keep you posted. Thanks.
Posted By: Jackie Re: Software update - 10/24/08 08:09 PM
Oh geez--and I called myself proofreading! I shoulda put:
I've never seen a mention of spiders before!

Thanks, Anu.

Everything should be back to normal now. Any problems, post them here.

yup, me, too.

Looks like there are too many new configurable settings in this update. I have fixed the setting on the private message now. Let me know if anything else isn't working. Thanks.

Anu, I can see you there now: "Consarn these danged new-fangled contraptions!"
