    All it needs now is someone to get the bottle up to tweet about this thread. 



    I've slapped a link on his wall so it might be best to keep this thread JUST for the main points as you initially (and quite sensibly) mentioned.

    It'll make life easier for him to work through them.

    PM's could be improved a bit, you can't quote and highlight stuff in a practical kind of way, they seem a bit disjointed, not a complaint just a suggestion, otherwise all good with this new board really

    Sounds painful @};-
    Yeah I agree bout the probs when viewing on phone. full site view makes posting too hard and mobile view has the confirm email over the post coment button. Tried a few browsers.
    We all look better in the dark.

    1.  Thread authors in the list of threads would be nice.

    2.  I miss the profiles.

    Yep, I agree with num 1) being good to have. Oddly, the authors do appear in the mobile version for some reason.

    Num 2) - um, are the member profiles here much different than on GMB? They show join-date, num-of-posts, and you can display all the posts the person has made...

    12. The board won`t save my changed contact email address in My Account
    13. If you edit a post , it uses a pin-the-tail-to-the-donkey method of timestamping it 

    Its now 13.32pm in the UK but the board insists is 0833am

    ^ Yeah, when you're logged-off, the board thinks it's 5 hours earlier. ie Outer Mongolia time?

    Yes, it is, actually.

    1.  "A few details about yourself".  I thought was nice.  Very wide open on what you put, though seldom used. 
    2. "Where you live".  Okay, not that pertinent when someon puts something like "Standing on a distant Star", but, again, it just makes people feel ok if they feel like revealing a few details about themselves.
    3. "Hobbies'.  Nice idea.

    Overall, I hate the anonymity that comes from the web.  And, for those that feel comfortable about it, I like the idea of encouraging some details that are not too intrustve.  I would like to see gender as well.  No matter, really, as none of it is really pertinent.  The other two categories:

    "Your job" I don't really care about, but is probably a good idea to have available.
    "Date of Birth"  I would NOT put back up.  Anyone who reveals their DOB on the web is crazy.  There are only about three things that are needed to steal an identity. DOB is one of them.

    Now, I will add that, any of this could just be added to a signature, but I really don't think that would happen very often.  And, of course, there are those that don't want to reveal anything and, of course, that should be the detault options.  It's not really needed.  Just nice.

    These are fine ideas as an option Whickwithy, but I think people should have the option of what they want or don't want to reveal about themselves, not that you were saying otherwise ;)

    Could we have an option to view a list of 'my posts' so we can keep a track of replies please? Or am I missing a subscription tab somewhere?

    Otherwise, I love my new home - thank you!

    You're right, I'm not, Border_Mind.  I mean, like mine, I was so cautious about my location that I put "Standing on a distant star".  It just gives the option.

    14. PMs are sent as e-mail too! At least to me. That's info overkill.
