kfeusse Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 the feature where there are related threads to the one you just posted or are currently reading? I have always loved looking at those as well...especially on topics that have no exact life span. how do i get to the emoticons? I can't seem to find them... what else is missing or just isn't quite the way we are used to? Not that I am complaining...but I hate having to spend so much time trying to figure out everything...is there a tutoring class I can take to something??

Tracy in Ky Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 For the smilies, just click on the smiley face above where you type your post, then a little menu opens at the bottom of your screen. :001_cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elinor Everywhere Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 If you are on a mobile device, like my iPad, there are no emoticons. Yet! ( I hope) . For now I just type in the code of a few I've memorized, like : and D with no space gives me :D. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lea1 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I really miss the hover feature, where you could put your cursor over a thread and see more of the title or first sentence in the post before opening it. I wonder if they will bring that back. I used it all the time. I am really missing that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click on the arrow to the right of the thread title it will show more info....I think quite a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) I really miss the hover feature too. The preview takes as long as opening the thread, so it isn't as good as the hover. ETA I withdraw my objections to the preview. It is working nicely now. You don't have to close it either (which I really appreciate). I can either go right to the thread from the preview window or just keep scrolling down the page. I don't have to close.

Pen Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Lacking the hover feature working, I guessed maybe this would say, I really miss the old forums. And I was going to put this :iagree: -- I also do miss the hover. But I miss being able to just get on and use it, rather than getting: Safari can’t open the page “http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/forum/3-parents-forum-k-8-curriculum-board/†because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection.

Sahamamama Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yes, I miss the old forums. I don't think this new format is going to work for my old eyes. I can barely see most of the print, it's so tiny and blurry. Very tiny and blurry. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm....when I'm on the boards they move quite quickly, and I've yet to get error messages (after the first couple of days). I'm not technically savvy enough to know why some people get error messages and slow boards, and others don't. But I did want to throw it out there...that maybe it's your server or something? As to the print size, can you increase it in some way? Even on my iPad the print is big enough to read. Of course, I'm old enough to have reading glasses.... :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfeusse Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 John, most of the time when I go to write a post, the blue box around my post being typed is a lighter blue and I can't use any of the features on the blue box...can you look into that for me?? Also, can some please tell me how to insert a link....unlike before where I could just copy and paste an amazon link to something, (which was so nice to be able to do), I now can't....can someone help me with that?? thanks.
