(OT) Checking in

[phillychuck]

Post when you get here...let us know how easy it was to get re-established, what you like (and don't like) on the new board.

I like the preview pane (it told me two topics in the archives were similar to this one, which was interesting), it's colorful and more attractive. Right now I find it a bit confusing to see what I've read, but I think (I hope?) I'll get used to the new look soon. HTML tags are useful, and the way it posts links is great!

I's here......and learning about the limits - it just complained that my post was too short!

[LoneStarPhan]

I signed on earlier today. No problems what so ever and my avatar even migrated over.

I'm also still learning but so far, I see some very nice things about the new format.

When I saw that you would be using email to send a link to re-register, I was a little worried. Fortunately, I had a valid email address. I am on my sixth ISP with corresponding email since I first joined the board and hoped that I had updated to a current email. Luckily, I had, and things went very smoothly.

I'm here! I like the updated interface (much snappier), native mobile support, and features to make conversation more fluid. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it works for gameday threads.

Best feature (for me): I finally am able to retire the server that has been running this board for the past nine years.

I'm here. Not at all used to the new site.

[LoneStarPhan]

Thank you for keeping this board going.

We owe a great deal to your father for leading us from the confusion and dysfunction of the old Phillies board when MLBAM took control. MVPsoft was always a respected voice there and he put up his own resources to form this great Phillies discussion board. He has been greatly missed.

I'm on, but can't locate unread posts.

[bkeich]

On the front page you should see topics of "Categories", "New", "Unread" and "Top". Unread should have a count of unread posts.

You may need to go through Topics and click them over to "Normal" from "Muted" or "Tracked". You do this by opening the topic and on the right will be a circle next to the Reply (arrow to the upper left). Click on that circle and change to "Tracking". You can also set it to "Muted" if you dont want to read that topic.

OK, I'll bite (never let a softball go by...)... Were you used to the old site?

[Lawman]

So far, so good. Nothing I can't get used to given enough time.

[donaldorc]

Wondering if there is a quick way to return to the forum without having to scroll all the way back to the top.

[Phanatical]

I was unable to access the site because my email address was defunct. After emailing admins, I was sent a link that immediately reestablished my account.

I access PP.com via an iPad. I cannot figure out how to use the keypad shortcuts. Perhaps they only work for PC users (that have actual physical keyboards)? I can no longer logon via Tapatalk (error message says a plugin is missing). Access to the site using a browser seems to work fine though. Are there any recommendations for mobile users....best access to PP.com via browser, Tapatalk, other app?

[phillychuck]

I seem to remember this software doesn't work well (at all?) with Tapatalk. It's mobile-friendly, so any phone browser should be fine.

[Philsmania]

I'm here and slowly figuring things out.

How do you quote someone else's post within yours?

How do you quote someone else's post within yours?

Looks like you have to highlight the post you want to quote and click on the quote mark that magically appears when you do that.

[schillingfan]

It should be in the little number next to the topic name. I post on a Discus website and this seems somewhat similar to that. I find the who posted part with the icons kind of distracting. Too much to look at.

Did this before I read the quote part, but it was meant to be an answer to the question of how do you find new posts.

[schillingfan]

My question is how do you get to other topics other than clicking the back button on your browser. Doesn't appear to have any buttons to push for next or previous topic.

[donaldorc]

I like being able to "like" a post without having to reply. Guess I'm too influenced by FB.

Click the 3 bars at the upper right next to your avatar to see if some of those options are what you are looking for.
