Beau Peep Notice Board > Outpourings
This New Forum.
Roger Kettle:
Must admit, I'm warming to this place. For a techno-dumpling like me, it seemed a bit scary at first but the sheer speed of the site compared to the last one makes it far more enjoyable. I still can't use any of the flashing gizmos without summoning an offspring but what the hell.
Well done, Mince. You done good.
The Peepmaster:
Yes, it is fandabbydozy, Roger. Hats off to Mincey.
It does take a little time to get used to things but you get there eventually. One thing I did find difficult was finding out how to get back to the forum index once on a thread (other than using the back button). It's actually in a small line of black type above the message box but it was easy to miss.
Mince:
I'm glad you all like it. It's really Crackerjack, isn't it? This is how fast my student board is, which is why I found the old Beau Peep board so slow.
The "black line" is also below the posts. Sometimes it gets lost in the Beau Peep cartoons. Perhaps I should fade out the background a little more.
Jack:
Very swish.
One question though - is there a 'fast reply' option you can turn on? This board is faster by far than the old one, but I'm still only on 56K and every link to a new page that I have to click steals 1.5 minutes of my life.
Still, even without the fast reply option, I am sure I shall cope. Although I hate the scrolling text thing already, and I've only seen it used once. Therefore I shall take the following preventative steps against its use:
The next person to use scrolly text smells of poo.
Additional: Oooh, clicking the bold option sets the tags either side of the cursor, rather than having one click to start and one click to stop. Thus saving me a whole mouse click. This I like.
