New site, new look

[TheMindWillNotLetGo]

By the way, got any openings for a telecomm person with 20plus years expirience in your IT Dept.?

IT director handles that, but business is on a upswing.  How do you know he's not already your boss?

hey another serious question about this site:

If any of you are familiar with vbulletin, is there any way on here to "see subscribed threads"?  i.e. before I go a browzing, I like to see activity in only threads I've posted in.  Is there an easy way to do that?  Currently I am "see posts" in my profile, but then I got to poke down that list, looking for individual threads, and then click each one just to see if there's been any new posts.

You feel me?

VBulletin is also a paid 'subscriber' system, which costs out the nose every year for webmasters/owners to pay for.  I don't think SMF does that.

well most of that has nothing to do with my question.  

I am looking for a way to do something here, and I figured the easiest way to explain would be to put it in parallel terms, but since that failed, let me ask a simpler question for you:

How do you browse this forum everyday? Do you have a process, or you just login and start clicking smile?

Do any of you use the "notification" options? If so, how does that work? I don't want a damn email every time someone posts something anywhere on the board, but I would like an easy way to take care of my involved business before I go plundering around out of boredom.

Basically, I like to be efficient and get smile done.  I don't have a smile ton of time for bucking around.

You feel me?

Actually, it has everything to do with your question.  You asked.  I said VBulletin is a cash cow and SMF which this forum uses can't do that.

Myself?  I use this.  It doesn't filter threads I haven't posted in, but it works just fine for me.  Hope it's useful for you.

sweet, thanks, I'm kind of an idiot for missing that...even moreso, "Show new replies to your posts" is even more suitable...however it didn't seem to pick up your reply here.

Thanks for the hot tip, I will be trying it out.

Actually, it has everything to do with your question.  You asked.

I asked how to perform a function with this software, and you gave me your opinion about some other software...

Here's an analog:

Q: How do I create an adjustment layer in photoshop

A: Photoshop sucks, use MSPaint.

see how that works?

They both suck.  Use GIMP.

Guess what?

don't like what I have to say?  Don't read.

Gimp, what is it?

another serious question about the site:

Anyone use Tapatalk?  I visited here from my phone and got prompted.  I don't usually buy paid apps, but if the experience is as good as I have heard, I might....however I also understand it to be quite dependant upon the board.

Anyone here use it?  What say and how it works?

[Hoss]

your first reply tells me all I need to know now.  Thanks; I will temper my replies in the future to accommodate someone 'without seasoned world experience'.  

And, no, not mad.  If you don't like what I have to say, ignore it.  That's what I do with over half the posters on this forum.  It's worked wonders for me.

I do, on Android.  It works pretty well, but since this site appears to be a Windows based server (it used to be anyway), I notice that it sometimes hangs a bit.  But paying for it opens you up to all the other forums that are using it now.  It was worth the 3 bucks I paid for it.

But yes, it does work.

most of the other forums I am on use vbulletin, so...

Let me ask you about tapatalk, and perhaps all paid apps....If I do a factory reset on my android, am I going to have to buy it again, or is there some kind of registration process that will know I already paid?

As for the other, look dude:

You didn't seem to get my "rocker" reference, but then you said you've seen the movie a thousand times.  Then you went off on this confusing tangent of Spade v Dirt. I had 2 options at this point:

1) you are a little thick in the head

2) you are trying to get a rise out of me

If the former, there's nothing wrong with that, I'm a little stupid from time to time as well

If the latter, then we are of common gound and I would like to share my secrets with you.

I got no beef, sir, we are both fighters of foo.

Never said I remembered the movie..said I saw it more times than would like to admit to.  I've seen dozens of movies that way (while with friends drinking, etc).  It's kinda like watching Napoleon Dynamite, or a train wreck.  Joe Dirt was that way.

BTW, I was a decent drummer back in the day, and know many local musicians and bands.  Used to work with and are friends with several good guitar players, drummers and the like.  So I'm most definitely a rocker to the nth degree.  I drove to Houston to see KISS after they put their makeup back on in 1996.  Saw White Zombie around that same timeframe.  Ozzy at the CC.  Saw Ratt at the Cains.  You get the picture.  My last concert was my first at the BOK..Foo Fighters last May.

As for tapatalk, f you do a factory reset, as long as you tie your main android account to the same Gmail address, it does remember what apps you paid for.  So you're good there.
