Dream... boldly going where no hosty has gone before...
Hi Dream, I wanted to make a
Hi Dream, I wanted to make a post on the new Historical line room but I wasn't able. Is that because it is in the tire kicking stage or is that because of something else? I've encountered it in other areas where no one has started the room yet. I haven't been able to make the first comment anywhere.

No room at the inn
hahahaha I'm so punny. Yes, it's because there's not a room in there. There is a thread on the main steeple hill page for it, though, so that's where you should be posting.
From what I understand, the new organization is that the new threads go on the main page and the ongoing threads go inside the folder.
But let me know what you think, because organization is one of the things we want to know about.

2 questions
I have 2 questions on the new site:
First, is there a spell check option? The old site used to underline miss-typed words automatically, but I cannot seem to find an option here.
Second--when I click on a thread, it always takes me to the first post, so I have to scroll through and figure out what's new. Is there a setting to have the first unread post come to the top?
Thanks,
--Barbara

Good questions!
#1... unfortunately, we don't, however, a lot of browsers, such firefox and safari automatically have a spell check thing that'll highlight your misspelled words.
#2... part of this is a bug that we're working on. However, if you see the place where it says X new messages, click on that instead of the discussion title, and it should bring you to the new messages without having to scroll through
Hope that helps!

Qtn 3??
Thanks for the quick reply! Now I have another question
#3--Earlier this morning I used a color font, but now, even though it shows on the typing page as colored, it changes to the default color when I post.
And my firefox isn't giving me any spell checker here, though it did on the old forums. Wahh! Does anyone happen to know if there is a setting I need to click? Would this be question 4 or question 1.1?
Blessings,

I'm sorry Barbara...
You've exceeded your question limit for the day.
Sorry, couldn't resist. I have no idea what question to call it, but it's all good, because we're working hard to make sure this all works for everyone.
Okay, so let's hit it then.
#3... from what I've seen, others are having this problem, so I'm thinking it's a bug they must be working on. As soon as I hear anything different, I'll be sure to let you know.
# 4/1.1 Not sure on this one. Scott, tech guru that he is, is the one who gave me that tidbit, and now that you mention it, I've deliberately misspelled words in Firefox to see what's up, and you're right, it doesn't work. So let me head back to the drawing board and see what else we can do. Might not be til tomorrow, though, because he just waved bye at me via IM a bit ago.
Sorry I didn't have a potential solution for you this time, but we're working on it.

Hey Barbara...
I'm told color is fixed, so please try it again and let me know. I have different controls than you, so sometimes things that work for me aren't working for you.
Dream... boldly going where no hosty has gone before.
It's a go on the color!
It's a go on the color! Don't know exactly why, but I like typing in green.
Since I have exceded my question quota, I guess I'll wait 'till next week to ask where to find details on the Book Challenge.
Blessings,

I'm a pretty generous host, so...
Here you go... all you ever wanted to know about the book challenge.

tech issue
Dream -- can you pass this on the the techies?
You know how when you click on the "new" in a thread title it takes you to the spot in the thread where the new posts are? And how the new posts have a nice red "new" marked in the corner? It works great except... it is not working on the "Special Event: Meet the authors and editors of Love Inspired Historical" thread for some reason. Even though I click on "new", it always opens up at post number 1 and there are no red "new" marks on any of the posts. I'm using firefox, btw.
Thanks!

I noticed the same thing,
I noticed the same thing, and I'm using IE. I'm really glad there's a "LAST" button to click on.

Sadly...
That's one of the kinks they're still working on. I know they're aware of it and are trying to get it fixed. It seems to be a problem on all the discussions with multiple pages.
Thanks for letting me know, though. It helps to have so many folks willing to test the waters and help us find solutions.
