Huck, I just saw the dog! It's smoking a pipe!
Look closely.

Good on ya Admini-Mikey! I trust that you understood that my suggestions were simply ideas that occasionally fall from my head like over-ripe fruit; not demands for more-faster-better-now type stuff. Considering the sheer volume of information that needs to be transfered-translated-updated and modified I'd say that you and whatever helperbeings you employ deserve a round of something.

And Catpuke, although I really liked your old avatar (it really captured the essence of a cat in mid-stream in a Department of Highways kind of iconography) your new one is quite mesmerising. But I could not see the dog until you mentioned the pipe. And there it was! Like one of those irritating 3-d pictures they used to post in the newspaper every day just to annoy me...

Hello everybody! Almost...

I like the way it works, because you can still see the position of the ignored posts. If you couldn't then some replies would look random. This way if the reply seems to be part of a reasonable discussion you can go back and read it, but somehow I don't think I'm going to be doing that very often.

Oh...the tiny but exciting thing...what is it? Could it be related to that comment you made about sig's and male genitalia?


(I just saw the friend or foe/ ignore thing)

The time zone function here is comprehensive also. Probably sounds insignificant to some but I like to see the correct time at the top of the page and the post times coming out correctly. The last forum had Australian Central Time (+9.5) as an option but not Daylight Saving and no country with +10.5 to cheat with so the times have been at least a half hour out ever since the start of October.

Woah!! I was just composing a message and when I hit submit instead of posting my new message it came back with a report that said a new post had been made in the mean time and did I want to review my post and showed me the new post above the composition frame.

Yes indeed.


Yeah, it's not all silver lining. I have to remember now to right click links and select "Open Link in New Window". None the less, this definitely feels like a better forum.

Very cool new look. I like the possibility of immediately making this screen appear as in my first attachment. (In the preview it appears and fill up a lot of space - but there is a lot to ignore - sorry for that.

Oh, thanks Mikey!!! Who needs moderation, when you can moderate things by yourself?

The forum looks pretty good. The new features are cool.

I like the ability to go to 'first unread post.' a time saver.

While I have not taken notice to all the new features it seems some users are very happy with them.

As suggestions had been asked, similar to the Birthday function I would like to see
some form of automatic publication of official discography, track recording dates and some special events.
While this would seem a time consuming task I am sure it could provide as a useful tool.

For example November 17th 2008 was the 27th Anniversary of Zappa RITZ 81'.
While not an official release FZ did play this legendary concert on WLIR Radio.
If a Sticky Topic was automatically generated for let's say 1 week it could promote
dialog on historical Official productions and events.

Peace to all

Give it up, troll-boy. You have never ignored me. You never will. Get a grip on reality.

Good suggestion, Trendmonger, I like this idea. It'd provide a continuous reminder of why we're all here in the first place.

So pleased with the new forum. What a boon the 'foe' feature is...

How do I use the "foe" feature?

The chat room is mucho mucho cool! Many lovely and useful bells and whistles. you can import images directly into the chat, instead of having to post an url like in the old days, many more things you just have to check out yourself! Love it! Looooooove it!

Slime, Sheba has put on too much weight to fit as an avatar. Too many pixels. Give me back those kisses .
