In case some of you haven't looked around or tried new things, you are prolly wondering what's new.
Here's some of what I've been messing with lately.
(If you look in the lower left hand corner you should see there are about 4 new skins that fully support the new 2.1, ONLY the new skins work with everything!!!)
1. Auto Merge - If you post more than once within 24 hours, it auto merges your posts, so you don't get in trouble, and bumps it for you. Don't over do it.
2. Title and Topic Description Editing - Don't know if everyone can do it, but if you are looking at, let's say, recent topics. And you find a thread of yours that you want to edit the title of or the description of. Just click on whichever part you want to edit and hold it for about 5 seconds. Presto chango.
3. Quick Edit of Post - If you are using one of the new skins and click on "EDIT" on your post or someone elses (Moderators), it will give you an option of Quick Edit or Full Edit. Quick edit lets you edit DIRECT FROM THE THREAD. Full edit goes into the regular edit screen.
4. In the POST or EDIT screen, you'll see a few new options.
a. + - These change the size of the POST box. You can make it MUCH bigger or MUCH smaller.
b. Check Post Length - Checks how long your post is for you.
c. Open / Close times - THink this is just for Mods and Admins, but you'll see a slot when you make a new thread for what time to open and close a thread. Automaticly.
Don't post any PROBLEMS you are having here, just post what you've found that's new!!!
No one else has found anything new?
How about the POST box, anyone notice you can pick from any of a <span style="color:#FF0000">TON</span> <span style="color:#FFCC66">of</span> <span style="color:#009900">colors</span> <span style="color:#333399">now</span><span style="color:#FF99FF"> for</span> <span style="color:#CCFFFF">your</span> <span style="color:#FFCCCC">text?</span>
<div align='center'>Or that you can CENTER your text?</div>
<div align='right'>Right Justify?</div>
<strike>Strikeout text?</strike>
