Many thanks to Waldo and the whole gang for all the hard work making this happen. We all owe you a beer or 6.

PS - I will also personally chip in $20 US to make the marquee, color, glow and alignment tags disappear forever.

Pretty cool.

Would it be possible to add the "Next Topic" buttons back in? Also, I kinda liked the "Jump to first unread in thread" link at the top of a topic.

Minor nits to be sure. Thanks for y'all's hard work on making this the baseball fan's premier website.

God bless you. Yes, you should expect the check shortly. Do you have a price list for other al la carte options, such as banning users or outing the identities of the infamous who lurk among us? Thanks in advance.

You can just click the "new" button in the thread listing to go to the first unread post. I will see about adding it in at the top of the thread, though.

Thanks much! I found that button on the thread listing and if you go back to the thread listing after every thread read, that works. On the previous version of the site, I used to go read a thread, hit the "Next thread" button and then click the "Jump to unread" link. Didn't have to go back to the thread list each time. No big deal, just what I was used to.

While you're hacking on the site.... The "Page(s) [1]" text on the thread is unreadable since it's black.

And thanks for adding the Previous and Next links!

BudGirl · « **Reply #10 on:** March 26, 2007, 03:31:19 pm »

I just noticed the total time logged in up at the top. And all the emoticons.

Great work, Waldo. I generally resent change, but after fooling around a bit I'm getting the hang of it. One other nit, when a poster doesn't hit "quote" but just replies, I can't figure out to whom the reply is directed without an exercise in deductive logic. Am I missing something?

That was kinda handy.

Also, I liked the "The Link" that replaced url's unless you chose other text. Helped keep long url's from freaking up the formatting on a thread, like here: http://www.orangewhoopass.com/forums/index.php?topic=101371.0

I've already asked that in a pm to Waldo. Didn't Jim have the stuff about what type of hitter you wanted in each spot of the line-up?
