Hi everyone!
Welcome back to Talkback. Apologies for the outage this week while the old system keeled over, but what a silver lining that cloud has brought.
I'm really pleased with the way this new forum feels - faster, slicker, and with much more functionality - and I hope you feel the same.
It might take some getting used to, but I don't think that will take too long. A few things have changed or gone, we're still working on getting the look right and a few other features have arrived, so get stuck in! And please bear with us a bit - there might be some creases to iron out, and definitely some design issues to fix.
Comments
Is this helpful or would you rather be left to play on your own for a bit?
It all seems much faster, even with my outdated IE.
I miss the way threads were bright yellow when 'unread'.
Get used to it I suppose.
Unread threads appear highlighted blue to me, while read ones are just white.
Is there a quick way to the bottom of the thread/discussion?
Looks like unread thread colours aren't behaving. Investigating...
Just one thing while you're 'tweaking' - could you return to showing the name of the person who has started the thread, please?
Tried to edit to add smiley. Do they work in edits?
Can't see an option to quote other posts.
I suppose we have to copy, paste and add quote marks!
(I'm loving the smileys!)
I'm not sure what happens if another comment then gets added to that thread. And I'm not sure how you re-enable any you've hidden.

The dismiss option only appears for the first three 'Announcement' threads, it seems, Webbo. That's a shame.

Hadn't noticed, but I think that might actually be a positive - dismiss is one option that's bound to cause confusion soon.
The Activity link is displaying messages which are posted on a user's wall (i.e. on their public profile, by clicking "Add comment"). To private message or – ooohh, steady now – hold a private conversation between multiple users, which isn't displayed publicly, click the link "Send xxx a message" in the text links at the left hand side. You can add extra people once the conversation's started.
BB - looking to get profile info back. Not sure why the default would be for that to be removed.
Get a wiggle on.

The ones from PM to Bill were posted direct onto his wall on his public profile (i.e. "Add comment" when you click on someone's name). To start a private conversation thread, click the link "Send xxx a message" which is in the text on the left hand side of that same page.
pick out the viagra adverts. What's going on?
