Heh, I always did picture gel as yappy little Jack Russell or something!

before he puts his gel in

 

EDITED BY MODS: Yet another very obviously copyright image bites the dust. Please stop doing this, max.

once i know how to

I seem to recall you saying that in the past. Basic rule: if in doubt, don't.

Yes - It is taking a bit of learning curve for the new forums but using computers for many years, it is just a minor glitch. 

Though, I am very sad for loosing my Signature / About me Data as I charted a Time Line with all my upgrades before the Forum upgrade 

Feels like I can make some requests for the wanted features in the Forums 

1. Ranking / Grading poster members (May be based on the word count than the post count, for obvious reasons!) which might help

2. E-mail alerts / notifications for the owners of the thread so that they can check back when some one make their new posts

3. May be a Currency ticker which shows how much their system would have costed new. It could be treated as show off but I would like to see it more as a remedy from Upgradeitis.

4. Your System as a standard template in user preferences so that it is slightly more easier to enter the data and once this is in place there could be a time line there. So when you upgrade your amp, and you enter the new amp data the old amp data is still in there with a kind of time frame for how long the old amp was used.

Well - I should stop now, I guess!

Not gonna happen, for reasons explained above.

Possible, maybe, but not a priority. Last time we tried such a thing people were snowed with emails, and we were almost as snowed with bounced emails.

Huh?

I think that's putting too much information in a signature. There's always the 'Your system' section in which you can mainatin such information, linking to it from your signature.

Nope you've Madeyourbed, and now you mustlieinit...

No but seriously i am starting to get the feeling the members on here would just like it the way it has always been and to be honest i think that maybe that is best.  Also there is not that much difference, i am really  with just gel.

Cheers

Hi,

It's your nickname Gel, you choose whether it stays Thegelman or Gel. You said yourself it was for recognition on 2 www sites.

I'm sure AE means no malice.

Cheers,

Cofnchtr.

No, AE's just getting very weary of the continued introspective discussion of smileys, nicknames and such...

Yep, i know he does not, just was not 100% how it would go down changing after such a long time.

Hi,

You can please some of the forum some of the time.... some just don't like change.

Personally I think it's much the same other than the red chat logos not changing when I've read all posts. Whether this is IE8 or the new sofware I dunno. Done the usual clear cache etc. but hey ho - I use the 'see latest posts' thread now which I didn't before.

If the main difference is at the 'back end' where all the work is done then braw - the admin team will be the ones to see the most benefit.

I can still post and read other posts. Result.

Keep up the good work and stay (in)sane!

Cheers,

Cofnchtr.

Well I dont want to sound rude, But I gave up.

I cant post anything at work, they use IE7 or something, and I can log in and everything, but wont let me type anything.

Tried like 10 times.

Also dont like the new layout, sorry, but seems worse than before.

I have no doubt that John is working his NADs off trying to get through that list of tweaks and fixes.

Okay the search is cranky and we can't see a view counter against threads anymore, or see who is online (unless it's moved) and I have to be quick off the mark to edit my posts if I make an error.

But, all-in-all, a pretty heroic effort and getting better.

It even survived my upgrade to Firefox 4.0 today. (And is a lot faster now although that is mostly Mozilla's doing and not JD's )

I haven't been posting as much lately because I don't have much to say.  (Umm...  I successfully added Airplay to my M-CR603 yesterday but that's hardly worth a thread.)

I guess I have retired myself from 'proper hifi' equipment discussions with the acquisition of my new mini-system.  (Feels good actually.)

I can't add anything to cable discussions with £3 a metre QED speaker cable (bought on basis of colour, cost and slimness) and my 5m Belkin network cable costing £9.99 from Argos.

So i'm just going to hang out and enjoy, vicariously, other people's hifi adventures and have a bit of a natter here and there.

I have managed a post count in the thousands sharing my love of headphones and the Nordic prog rock scene. The challenge is to keep going finding more headphones and new bands. Today I found two new Swedish bands to enjoy, Bob Hund and Bergman Rock....deep joy
