Software update

[Dungeon Master]

I'm also a Silver Subscriber but not currently designated as such.

All existing Subscribers should be showing their status badge now. Please let me know if this isn't showing for you.

Can I alert people with an @ ? I thought I saw a way yesterday but I don't see it now!

@Mandryka

Just type the @ character and type the first few letters of the member you want to tag. A list of members appears and you choose the one you want.

Thanks Rob - just came on for the afternoon and I now have the 'Silver Subscriber' badges showing - thanks.  Dave

Little editing things have been 'fixed,' so here's refreshed appreciation for the upgrade!

[Mandryka]

@Dungeon Master that's what I thought happened before -- but now I don't get the list.

@Mandryka  @Que

No!

(But I can see an alert saying that you mentioned me.)

FWIW, that isn't my experience (maybe I'm doing it wrong...)

I have to say it: despite my initial reservation, the new version is definitely better than the older one. Thank you, Rob, for your effort and dedication --- and now that I think of it, why is it that you never take part in the talks? Are you more into operating and maintaining a classical music forum than into classical music itself? Inquiring minds want to know.

I seem to recall you use your phone.  When I use my tablet if I have it in portrait mode it shows little more than your name.  If I turn it in landscape mode it looks just like it does on my computer, including all profile information.

Nope, not getting that when I turn my phone, and I don't think I had it on my computer either... will go and check that again.

Okay, I'm seeing all of that on the computer. I guess the phone just doesn't have enough real estate to include everything, which is fair enough.

I vary as to which one I use more. I suspect I've used the phone a lot more in the last few days because I browse while camped in front of the television if the soccer isn't totally gripping...

Florestan, I suspect that he's busy living his life like all of us.  Maybe has less time/inclinations to spend it online (which is totally fair and natural).  He's gone to a lot of efforts (and at personal expense) to create a forum (and maintain) for classical music lovers....including recs (like suggestions), a children's thread and so much more.  I suspect that his life is busy and he's been really kind to keep this forum alive.  And, yes, he does love classical music; I have no doubt of that. 

Best,

PD

I think he is an avid reader of the board even if not replying regularly, also.

Message board software still receiving updates in 2022!  Wow!  And I see that we now can use two factor authentication if we so desire.

[DavidW]

Oh man the listening thread loads so fast now with images immediately popping in!  And posting is also way faster.  Everything is just refreshingly swift.

Same here. I think right now, only Rob can "like" a post.

Ah. we'll get there, then.

[George]

Ah. we'll get there, then.

I "like" your attitude.

[Dungeon Master]

"Likes" and "@mentions" should be working for all now. Let me know yay or nay.
