Cool!  We can do polls!  I think I will like this feature!

Here's some things I noticed about polls, so far:

• The question must be expressed in no more than 60 characters.
• The list of choices is limited to 8.
• Each choice must be expressed in no more than 50 characters.

Oooh, and if you hit the Return key while typing the voting options, you are DONE and the poll is posted, finished or not!     Oh, well, the DELETE button worked, I don't think anybody saw my unfinished poll.   That's just something I'm going to have to get used to...

Can the size of the poll list be made adjustable?  Or is it a fixed number?  For most subjects, three or four items is enough; they are being generous to allow eight. It's just that I was going to put up a poll containing about 20 items.  Maybe I should just make as many poll entries as I need, 8 items per poll...  OOOPS, that doesn't work either.  You can have only one poll in a topic, plus whatever comments people make in response to the poll.  Oh, well, the DELETE key worked again.

Thanks again, Chris, this must have been some work to set up!

Im not too fond of the new colours, my eyes have problems adjusting to the happy brightness of it.
Pretty decent though.

Has anybody already found how to change the size of the letters for the whole forum while reading?
It does not react on the IE standard 'change letter size' commands.

willeke, you may be able to enlarge the text by holding down teh CTRL key while scrolling with the little scroll wheel found on some computer mice.  if you do not have a scroll wheel, then i don't know what to do.

Hold down the Control key and roll your mouse wheel?  Oh, how obvious ... NOT!!

Who decided that such an action would change the size of the displayed text?  And what was he smoking when he decided it?

ARRGH!  Sorry, I'll get off the soapbox.  I have strong feelings about user interface design, and there is just nothing intuitive about this.

But I'm glad to know it works, even if it is a very strange trick.

YES!  The old colors are back!  Thank you, Chris!


Inertia: the resistance of a community to change ... new features, new capabilities, new things to learn, and we gripe about what color the pages are ... what odd creatures we people are.  Well, maybe I should just say what an odd creature I am.  I should not speak for everybody.

Can't seem to locate the archives and guides with all the good stuff in them.
Any help?
Nevermind.
'Scuse me. Found them by clicking on the Helicopter man at the top

Willeke, I tried the scroll wheel thing today, and it worked even though it did not work yesterday.  Try spinning the wheel a few times, it doesn't change for the first rotation or two.  Also, I like all of the features of this new forum software, especially the file attachment.  Also, thank you very much Chris for all of your work on the forum and this website now and over the years, it is greatly appreciated.
