@moke123 Yes, this was a feature requested last week.

@Gasman Great!

Has anyone tried the Conversation feature here yet, which is the substitute for PMs? I used to hate the PMs before, since I had to click in a particular part of the window outside of the quoted text, and I never knew if I should click above or below the quotes!

the conv. between you and I is just fine to me, Mr. Leader.

I am more of a servant.

I like how the reply box smoothly scrolls down once you have replied to a post.

Anyone notice how you start a new post? You can just click in the empty field called Thread title at the top of the threads. Super-quick way to get new threads going.

I don't; apparently I've been made redundant.

I'm out as well Paul...

Yes, just tested it and its really cool!

 

[Jon]

So much clearer because the conversation flows, and you can keep track of the conversational thread more easily.

that's just stupid. doesn't everybody here say something useful most of the time? except for me, of course...

Now this is a minor irritation, and slightly concerning. The reply to Paul was a work in progress and somehow I managed to send it included with a later post...

I thought I should mention, this accident happened through the mobile site...

@Uncle Gizmo When your tutorials are embedded here do they help your stats?

Speaking for the old site, the only real benefit I noticed with the hit rate on my website and YouTube was if I made posts regularly, which linked back to my website and YouTube. But it was (and is) a lot of work for very little gain. It's not worth it in my opinion.

If you were thinking of doing some tutorials of your own, I wouldn't recommend it, unless you get some joy out of it for yourself. That's the main reason I do it.

I suppose this means a cut in pay for us both.

No, I've got plenty of other things to do. I was just curious if it had any effect.

Don't worry. I'll split my moderators payments equally with both of you.

If you do decide to do any online videos, I recommend you don't have a dog anywhere nearby whilst recording.
Isla has wrecked the last few I did by barking loudly about 20 minutes in to a very long video.
After 3 attempts, I abandoned it.

I expect the same could be said if you have a parrot?

LOL. I love this thread.

I know that feeling well.

Colin, regarding your problems with videos, and the dog barking! If you use screencast-o-matic - it's $1.65 a month. You can edit the audio, you can edit out sections, put sections back in. If you get into the Habit of recording short 5-minute sections of video, you can easily join them together to make a Longer video, then edit the result to smoothly link everything together. This is particularly beneficial if you want to add a beginning and an Ending sequence to your video.
