Nothing that ANY system which uses smileys can do, except to change all smiley codes to phonetic, : smile : / : grin : and so forth, which would pretty much make things worse for everyone.

Try using the [ code ] feature for things like that.

I had a choice. Move forward, or close the site. I hope I chose well.

I absolutley understand your point of view - *maybe* there is something in the pipe with a new, buyable IBrowse, progress in AWeb or a usable version of Netsurf. Until then - we "original classic system" users are somewhat lost. And, btw, I do NOT count UAE users: first of all they surrendered, too ;-) and they might be able to use classic 68k-ports like OWB where a real system is way to slow to be useful.
Despite this i really appreciate all the work you and all others do and did with amiga.org!

On the old Amiga.org , if you held the mouse pointer over the 'Random Pic' you would get a short description of the pic ..... no more I know, it's nit-picking.. but sometimes I can't tell what that shrunken pic is...

But beyond that, great job Wayne....
I'll see what I can do. You might submit it as a feature request using the bug tracker.

The problem is that that bar is getting too long for lower resolution users, causing it to wrap.

I'm still working on how to better get all of that done, but the reason it was separated was to give a secondary bar to promote the "submit" feature for each section.

If anyone is a graphic artist and has a better idea for how it should be done, I'm all ears.

the option that I like is link to all my posts. but it was easier on old site to get there from main (or not?)
if it could provide a quick information on which of the threads I 'participated' in have new posts, it would be great.

I thought it was quite easy to get to. Just click on your name on your post above and select the option that says find more posts by [user].

I can't find a thing to gripe about. So far, so good. I spend more time here than I used to. (and I already needed a 32 hour day!)

One thing I don't know how to do is access my public profile without first finding one of my posts clicking on my id and going trom there...

I think there must be a quicker way (maybe in the quicklinks menu? But I can't get quicklinks menu to work on the ipod touch)
