Site Upgrade

[Maggie-NC]

Littlecoo, I really appreciate how clearly you explain things. Really excellent information. Thank you.

OK, another question....WHY those "bookmarks" and "tags" at the bottom of a page? MORE STUFF UNneeded???

WHAT DOES "yaya" mean under that VBulletin sign??

YES, BRING BACK THE PIGEONS...what the heck does VBulletin have to do with PIGEONS??

Re: logging in...SO FAR, I've had the site listed in My Favorites. All I had to do was go there and click the site name and in I go...well, SO FAR, at least!

I did it!! I'm on - I think! I cleared my browser and that didn't work. So I tried logging on thru Internet explorer. (I have AOL) That got me in. So apparently I can't log on thru AOL. Thats nice - what am I paying for? Thank you for the help!

Littlecoo, you have epitomized what I mean by the K.I.S.S principle. WELL DONE! Clear and concise...

Have you been asked to write for the "Dummy" books? Those are my speed...

How come not everyone's avitar shows up? Yours is blank along with some others.

May be possible for someone with administrator privileges (would that be you Terry? ) to have access to the source code and directory for this forum and be able to swap out the offending gif image with a pijy one. I can't see any purpose for the 'yaya' text- it's probably just temp placeholder text till something else is put there, I do that sort of thing when I'm creating a webpage.


The 'Tags' are most likely for indexing/keyword searching purposes

May need to wait until BABY BIRD SEASON IS OVER.

I would REALLY like to see our pigeons return to the top of the page.

I agree, something just isn't right without them.

Since there are changes going on which I'm not really sure what is happening and my routine Internet life has been thrown curve.

Can we have some different smilies to choose from? They even have ones that move. The smilies are definately out dated. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yeah AOL have their own custom web browser, as far as viewing web pages and other internet content is concerned it is much the same as any other browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari etc. It just has custom branding and features yada yada... specific to AOL, but basically you can use any Internet browser you like really-they are just different tools that do much the same job.

What you are paying AOL for is for providing and maintaining your internet connection (infrastructure) the browser they provided you is just a tool for you to access content on the internet

I agree........there's a ton of (I think they're called "emoticons) or something like that. Some new ones would be great.

[Maggie-NC]

Sorry to say I have had to log in twice this morning but with just my name so it isn't that big a deal.

Also, I really love some of the new features. The albums are so nice and really easy to do and the best part is you don't have to edit your pictures. I also think the "friends" deal is pretty cool. I know we had the "buddy" system before but most people paid it no attention. Now that I understand the PM differences, I like it also. It is convenient to use the one on our profile page for quick little remarks.

All in all I think the changes are great. I would love to see more of the emoticons. I know on that huge Birdforum they have oodles of them.

[TheSnipes]

Well this morning when I opened PT for some magic reason, it remembered me correctly. Not sure if something got tweaked or if it's just one of those things.

So far I like the new features too...wasting too much time looking for pics for albums, tho!

*SIGH* once again playing devil's advocate. I LIKE the smileys we have now. Could there be more...sure, but, please, let's not get carried away!! Some of the other choices I've seen are really kinda dumb...

Add a few but please keep the ones we have now.

Haven't seen JONAH replying to any of our questions...did he get swallowed by a WHALE?? ROFLMAO

Thanks, Littlecoo for the explanations...yep, just like I thought, instead of "less is more," we have "more is better!"
