New members blá bá blá.... New members have to demonstrate they deserve DnD.
Always has been like that and I'm in no mood for opening "my legs".
New members start posting, new members are massacred, insulted and ignored, and if, and only if, they resist, then they become new members. Always has been like that and always will be like that.
That's the D&D I, and many more, had, that's the DnD new members will have.
...but is that what you guys are talking about, telling people how to negotiate and use this particular forum???
Yes, something like that...
This is one of the easiest boards I've ever been on. Very simple and easy to use but then again I've been online and using forums and boards for over 10 years so maybe I'm not the best judge.
Are people finding this forum hard to negotiate??? A forum is a forum, isn't it?? This one is easier than most to negotiate, I find, but is that what you guys are talking about, telling people how to negotiate and use this particular forum???
I'm noticing there's a ton of geeks on here who are much more knowledgeable than I am. (And geek is not a bad word in my vocabulary, btw) I'm trying to stay where I can hold my own because a ton of discussion is way over my head
Opera switched from Presto to Chromium/Blink. It vastly improved on Chromium's speeddial alternative, although not on Opera's own speeddial, and allegedly improved website compatibility. It lost almost all customization ability in the process.
I switched to Opera 19 and find the compatibility is stellar compared to 12. I find the speed amazing and it rarely crashes. Yes, I've had to customize it to death with extensions from Chrome and other places but it's still my favourite browser, especially now that it works with almost every site I go to.
Second choice is Firefox but I really find Firefox uses up way too much memory and freezes a lot.
Chrome is useless, never turns off properly and freezes contantly.
I actually had done that but then set it back to 100%. I prefer to zoom using my browser so I don't miss anything. Sometimes when you zoom, things disappear off the page that you don't realize.
Therefore, I prefer to have my pages load 100% as they're made to then I'll zoom as required.
Thanks. I know on the My Opera forums, they're using the terms Presto and Blink all the time. Drives me nuts. Use the number, will ya? LOL
I know so far Opera 19 -- for me -- has worked beautifully BUT I have a TON of extensions on it so it works the way I want it to and so I have some buttons I want but it still is missing my most favourite button of all which is the +, -, 100 buttons that let me zoom with one click. I have a zoom button but it zooms by 25% at a time and is two clicks to use. Not nearly as nice.
(Yes, I'm getting old - I can't read tiny text any more)
I completely agree. Huge signature with tons of animation or pictures that fill up screens are just annoying and obnoxious. Sites like that, I turn the signatures off.
I block the images in peoples signatures anyway, that way I can still see peoples text signatures without turning off signatures altogether. Handy as depending on the forum in question there can be useful information contained within them that saves you asking oft repeated questions.
myminpins, I've also had the signatures off on MyOpera. But here I see they are at the most part useful - mine, for example... What's your name, by the way? I prefer to address my interlocutors by their names rather than by huijfvtrs.
But I'm not keen on having the users maintain "heavy" signatures/avatars.
Not keen on them myself josh. Simple text signatures are what I prefer to see on a forum.
I completely agree. Huge signature with tons of animation or pictures that fill up screens are just annoying and obnoxious. Sites like that, I turn the signatures off. I am usually on a 15" laptop when I browse forums so I don't want huge pictures taking up my screen. I want to read the forums
Just was at Phucking vivaldi. I'm not saying against that site as the concept, but it's slow.
Speed has absolutely nothing to do in attracting new members or not (unless hideously slow),
Just as an FYI but I really have no patience whatsoever with slow forums. They drive me batty and I won't bother with them. This one is instant so it's great.
No worries. With Pesala always jumping down everyone's throat, it's hard to stay on topic anywhere in there.
I'm going to change my signature there in hopes of bringing more people here. I keep reading about D&D - that's Dungeons and Dragons, isn't it? Is that where some are going? Or am I just way too old and out of touch? LOL
