SixtySomePing:

Yeah. I think they've put a lot of time into the changes and the coming changes, and the explanation suffices for me.

I have been trying to wear socks all the time now since they said the changes would knock them off...

Actually for the time being, copy what you want to respond to, paste it in a new box like this, then go to the paragraph icon above, and quote will appear when it opens up. Click on it, and the original message you are responding to will then turn blue.

Best I can offer for now...

[Conrad1953]

The points leaderboard looks like a who's who of Grille members, lol. Maybe we can take over all 10 spots.

Do they give points for 5 abuses or 5 spams? Maybe they subtract points. Better leave well enough alone.

[Fellaheen51]

Good intel Sixty. Wondered how you got the shading around the quoted text. Us old guys figuring things out on the fly.

Just stumbled into it. Hopefully this 'splains it better- Copy what you want to respond to, paste, and while it's still highlighted, click on the paragraph icon right under the 'Leave a Comment' statement above. When it opens, click on the word 'Quote'. It will take it from there. Then you can comment below what it gives you. Before you post, click "Preview" below and you'll see what it will look like. As you can see I also grabbed your Avatar from your profile page :)

Wow, that's funny, now I feel like I was teaching how to use a rotary phone.

"Ok everyone, you pick up this piece here, this is the receiver and the hearing device. The chord transmits the voice both directions. There is a rotary dialer, and here is how you will .......blah blah blah...

Minor aberration, quote button back but it does not enclose quoted part

 

[tolmij]

Oops that’s back as well

[tolmij]

Checked out my profile and I am having a panic attack, running out of room for more badges. Anyone else having the same problem?

 

And I see the Grille is very well represented in all aspects of badges. Go the Grille.

 

No longer a list of those logged in, have to sort that one out.

I suppose there will be in time, when the final gavel is dropped saying 'this is it, what do you think?' then it may be a different story. But I have a feeling there is a long way to go, and it will be a very welcome improvement overall. The large things come first, then the intricacies...

I was reading the thread Easyy posted about all of this. From what I understand the old system was about to crash and if something was not done eventually it would have. I read all the jargon which went over my pea brain. Of course anything you do is going to please some and PO off others. But I can see improvements already. I am convinced this is a huge undertaking like I said way over my head

My son is an IT person in a fertility hospital and they have hospitals all over the world, many of them in Australia. When they purchased them they all had their own systems and it causes major problems. This week the board has agreed to an upgrade, all hospitals will be on a new specially designed system. Design and implementation will take 5 years, 60 new staff to write all the programmes and collect the information, total cost $80,000,000. So the problems with WRX are not uncommon in the IT world.

[BicknellCC]

You guys can all disagree with this post if you want to, just to see what happens. If I get sent to the penalty box, I can live with it.

Noooooooo, the penalty box might be chained to a wall with 10ft thick doors, would not do that to a Griller.

[Reasonability]

Bic, I absolutely appreciate the willingness to test out the disagree consequences. But there's no way in hades I'd throw a brother Grillester under that bus. Have you looked at this points thing in your profile yet?

 

I evidently suck. Oh well. Didn't wake up a week ago worrying about WRX points. No need to sweat bullets about it now.

[BicknellCC]

Not even for a scientific experiment Tol? You are too kind.

[Conrad1953]

It seems from reading that thread that the IT people who are members here are the most critical of this

rollout. I suppose that figures. > @BicknellCC said:

There I did it. I don't think anything will happen. I was on a non Grille members profile earlier and noticed

he had 7 disagrees and he's one of the most popular WRXers and has been for many years. If you post

out in the wild you're gonna get 'em I'm sure.

Well it shows up on my profile as a disagree, and no Reason, I have not looked into the points thing. Should I?

Well you in particular are evidently at the top of the leaderboard so you can check it out with pride. Don't forget us little people - lol.

If it's true it would be only the 3rd time in my 56 years my name has ever been at the top of any golf related leaderboard.

I have no idea where to look.

My bad dude. Radro is the leaderboard #1. Got my wires crossed amid this new format. But to check it out, go to the top right at top of a page and click on your avitar. Then click on your profile. Your points total is in there with all sorts of other info.

 

Back to the top right of a page... on that vertical wide bar to the right... a little bit down from your avitar is the word 'activity'. There's the leaderboard with Radro at #1.

 

Sorry again about twisting up the facts earlier.

 

[BicknellCC]

No worries, I was pretty sure the points leader would need a lot more posts, likes, and badges than I have. I am happy tto be on of the faceless rabble who applaud when royalty like Rad ride past in style ;)

Three times, that often. My name does not know a leader board exists.

[tolmij]

Looked at the best of file, out of the top ten shown, seven are Grillers.

 

GO THE GRILLERS.

[tolmij]

Duh, found the edit button, press preview next to post comment. Someone has possibly already commented on this, brain not fully active today. So now we have two edit buttons.

[tolmij]

Second duh of the day, edit button next to post comments button appears to have no function, just like me. ?

[tolmij]

None of these ever worked on the old system, watch out Grillers.

[Hankshank]

Bloody thing, this new layout. I’m here to chat with people, not getting points, smileys an stuff. And this quote contraption is pretty impossible to figure out.

You’re of a good vintage, man
