The back button does not make a post double.
Embedding youtube vids.
THANK button
BB code could be interesting.
Emails following favorites etc.
Control Panel improvements [avatar] changes etc.
I just noticed the stats at the bottom [http://whos.amung.us/], interesting.

The new bar at the bottom is something I've planned for a while -- it also features a way for members to login and chat using their Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, or MySpace IM accounts -- sort of a mini-chatroom - and if they have friends on FB or the others, they will show as online and don't have to leave the site to chat with them either --

I was able to log in with my new password.Thank you!

I have a question about the PMs. There was a new PM, but when I typed a reply I did not see a send button. Is there such an option? I saw tweet, share, BB etcetera. Finally I closed the PM. I did see the option to send a new PM, but instead used the emailed the sender option. Also the PM has now apparently vanished. I can't find it

Never mind! I see it now..my eyesight is obviously bad! The text on the post and preview buttons are kind of muted.
I got a little distracted by the share tweet and like buttons at the bottom, and was afarid the PM would inadvertently go public due to my error!

The PM came back too. LOL

It actually didn't come back -- when you send a PM here, it takes you to your 'sent items' folder instead of your 'inbox' - basically showing you that the PM was sent.

Re the share, tweet and facebook tabs, are they for sharing the entire thread as well as an individual post? I have tweeted news articles from a newspaper website. Usually a pop up appears with the tweet and I have the option of adding text. But I've never tweeted from a message board. Thanks!

Honestly, I haven't tested it. I do believe it will take the page you are currently viewing and link it in your tweet, but I can't be 100% positive as I don't have a twitter account. Sorry 😕

okay,I will try it when I come across a thread that says "tweet me" and report back!

I really like twitter. There's something about having to trim it down to just 140 charactes.

Is there a reason that the four announcements at the top of the Amusement Industry Discussion show up again at the top of each subsequent page?

It's a new deal with this software -- announcements will stay on top of every forum page, vs. stickies which are only on the front page -- we're still learning a little about it too 😉

After we get the bugs worked out, we will work on the layout and sizes of the text in the posts... That might help -
