Have questions? We have answers!

No problem =) That's the first thing I do on any new forum- "How do I change the time? Where's the button?! FIND THE BUTTON!" I don't know why it drives me so nuts lol

I guess this isn't a question, but more so a request.


Can the main banner be a link back to the forum index? It's the main way when I navigate on any page to get back to the "home" page.   


(I am using the BLUE theme btw. )




Questions


For private messages : Is labels the new "save messages" function?


Themes :  I am sure this is probably a back burner type of thing, but will we get more themes in the future? Can arena users build new themes for the new arena?
I can't stand the pink theme (@_@; it's just... eye hurting to me lol), and the blue default theme, is of course not pony enough.


Calendar : I see the cal with tons of birthdays. That's awesome. Anyway, I'm curious about it. Can this calendar sync up to other things such as : Swap deadlines, Pony meet days, ... etc? Or is it a birthday only calendar.


Feedback : Is feedback all caught up ? I think I left feedback for someone on the temporary thread, but their feedback doesn't reflect that. (It looked like these feedbacks were being manually updated as of this morning). Should I give this person feedback on the new arena, or is it something that will be done?

hi all! having fun figuring out all this new stuff ^_^
great job!!!

my Qs:

1) PLEAAAASE bring back the side bar with all the links to different forums .. pretty please with sugar on top!? 

2) I cant edit my Sig to add icons or change fonts, like color or align...
i used to just write something in a normal reply then cut paste it into my sig... but that doesnt work anymore.. 

3) my avatar has the "this photo has been moved" thingy from photobucket. even though it hasnt been moved

4) any idea on when the gallery will be back?

I had to manually go into my Profile and fix my avatar.  Some links got a little loopy in the switch over.  Try re-entering the URL in your profile.

WOO! Shiny new Arena Thanks to all the people who worked so hard!

Now, a quick question: In the old Arena, all new posts appeared with bold writing. Now all new posts and all posts with new replies appear with the "New" icon next to them. Is there anyway to make it so that actual new topics are differentiated on the boards?

I just wondered where we make donations too? I couldnt find a similar link out as there used to be on the old Arena...I think I need to join the crowd and show my thanks in cold hard cash lol!!!!

Another good question that I'm going to second. I'd also like to add; As far as I can tell, nothing changes when you click a topic then return to the index (though I notice that it does tell me when I've *replied* in a thread). On the old board, the font of the questions you've already viewed changed to a different shade. So is there a way to make it so I can easily tell which ones I've already looked at?

[hathorcat]

Also....I know others have asked whether we will get the "location" back on the profile under your avatar but will we also get when people have been members from? I know thats an odd thing to look for but sometimes when you are entering into trades/sales/swaps etc it makes life a little easier...

Question - Since I changed my username due to some personal issues, is there anyway that my old feedback (under kristinloff) can be added to my feedback here on kristincox so it shows all of my feedback?


Also - Will there be picture galleries on this new site? I know the ones on the other site weren't working for a while.

My photobucket did that to me a few months ago, on other sites as well.

The galleries will be back!

The banner I'm not sure on, that's something our guru will have to look into.

For private messages : that I haven't play with yet

Themes :  YES! more are coming

Calendar : Birthdays only, it's linked directly to member profiles

Feedback : the temporary feedbacks haven't been added yet

Will this layout remain the same? I'm slightly mourning the loss of the awesome old style layout. (obviously I'm not being pushy or trying to rush anything, just curious )

We are looking into the side bar.

The code should be working, I will take a look.

The galleries are being worked on. Eventually the old ones will be available for everyone to get their photos.

Galleries are still a work in progress.

For the most part, yes it will. It's a whole different board creation, so they are all unique.
