Shopsmith Forums

In the new forum format, most items are self explanatory but not all of them.

View Unanswered Posts: no question - however, I was really surprised at the length of this list.

View Unread Posts: this is self explanatory but how often is the list cleared?

View New Posts: this seems like it should be self explanatory but right now there are five "new posts listed on my computer. Some are with today's date and some with yesterdays and I have read them all. What constitutes a "New Post"?

View Active Posts: This seems like it should be pretty self explanatory but it is not. Example: I have one with 14638 views and 99 comments (fairly active) but at the same time I have one that was posted over a week ago with only 1 reply (not very active). What is the criteria?

These are not complaints! Just questions. I am trying to better understand the web tools that I have been provided.

I have come to really like the ProSilver format. I go back to Shopsmith1 every now and then and I see changes be made that greatly improve it but for now it is Prosilver.

Added Question: For how long, after posting, can a post be edited? The option to edit goes away after some period of time.

Try 'Shopsmith' format.

I think it is the 'future'.

I don't think so. At least not for me as long as I have a choice. I just now checked out prosilver2 and have, for the moment, switched from prosilver.

Admin has been very, very busy. I like all of the changes that have been made but especially those the result in prosilver2. Some functions have been moved around and I will have to retrain but I can do that.

If the BOTs would just disappear from Who's On Line - all would be well.

I have edited some OLD posts of mine to change from the old coding to the new BBCODE.

Not me busy on that one. Subsilver2 is another style provided by the phpBB authors. Like prosilver, I just installed it and let it run. I can't make changes to either of those two, since they'd get lost when the next update was installed.
