Yes, for I can't find the Google search for this web site.

orestesdd says on Jun 20, 2007, 07:17:

Btw, how do I edit my profile? Is there a way to edit your message after it has been posted? I don't see how I can re-edit a post already posted.

Peter (Moderator) (Trustee board) (Dev team) (☼Travelguide writer) says on Jun 20, 2007, 07:19:

Ah yea, I have to add that Google search back in :)

There's no way to edit a message after posting it, but I'll add that soon.

To edit your profile, click on the "my account" link at the top right.

Not "freaked out" but I get terribly bambzooled by change. We'll just have to see how it wears in.

Thanks, Peter. I figured it out. However, when I set my birthday date, it does not keep it saved. It goes back to December 31 or something. Another thing I cannot find is the Google search for your site. All in all, the site looks much better.

Sorry. I now see that you will add the google search. I could have re-edit my previous post, but it was too late. I guess I am getting old.

Darken the background just a bit and add the option for posters to view their last posts. Lose the monkey and give us a burro!

well, like i said, if it works, don't fuck with it. if it doesn't, fuck with it some more.

however!, i still say, reverse the order of replies, making the last/most recent, first. never heard your thoughts on that one.

I like the latest replies below, older ones on top. But i know everyone has their own opinion about that one.. :)

I'll see if I can find a good picture of a burro :)

It uses to me that the threads with the most recent posts were on the top, but now they are ordered by the date they are originally posted. I think that is a great pity and greatly devalues an excellent site. However interesting a subject is it will now die after a few days, whilst rubbish will stay at the top for a while even with no replies.

The format is OK. The main issue are the missing features such as editing posts, sending messages(errors out), etc. Once those are brought online, maybe you could play with the forum formating.

Peace,

I hate it. I hate change but I am going to have to live with it if this is what you want. The other format just seemed more fun. I can't see how many posts are on a thread as well as the google. I just thought the other format was great so why mess with it.

OMG! I hate it. Come on Peter, you can do better than that. You need to kick it up. It's pretty lame.

I am also starting to get used to it. I also like the seeing the oldest postings first and having to scroll to see the newer posts. I like seeing things in a timeline order. It is a lot easier for me to keep up with.

Yes.....it is freaking me out. I just logged in today (this morning..it's 3 AM) and first thought I was asleep and that this was a dream. Why I would dream about PBH I don't know. Anyway, there is a funny part to all of this. I have a new laptop and PBH was not yet bookmarked in the computer, so I went to Google the site, and I found you at the top, but when I clicked on it, it brought me to this site. Then I thought........funny, there is someone out here trying to steal Peter's name. Then I scrolled down a bit and I saw a bunch of PBH members that I knew. Then I decided to try and log in.....still not sure of what the F was going on, and sure enough I was able to log in. Strange in a way.

One thing I like about it already and that is it does not look all cluttered. It seems over the past few years, the site was getting riddled with more and more .......adverting and related throughout.

In any event, Good Luck Peter......

Gettingbetter: "the threads with the most recent posts were on the top". You're right, that was another view that was possible in the previous version that's not now. I'm thinking about how to bring it back. Thanks for the suggestion!

Gomezman: yes, it's less cluttered :)

All: thanks for the comments, keep 'em coming. Also, the whole point of this change wasn't so much to change the look&feel and layout, but to move to a new backend system that'll allow lots of new features (like the profile pages and more to come). So it's a work in progress, thanks for hanging in there.

Bo-hooo I miss the old "look" with those nice, soft colors and lists of threads showing which ones had new comments and stuff.....

Listen to the monkey!

Don't change him for a burro, Peter. Monkeys are much, much cuter.

Cheers,
Desi
