The official i'm glad GC is back thread
 
Complete with smilies and an easier WYSIWYG editor.

Was this worth a week without?

Discuss.

docetboy 06-12-2006 11:53 PM

BTW, if anyone knows how do get Symbol fonts to correctly display in Firefox with this new look, let us know :)

Drolefille 06-12-2006 11:54 PM

Not sure, but I can't decide if I like the threaded mode or not...

tunatartare 06-12-2006 11:54 PM

I don't think they can. People were having problems with that on geekboards.

Buttonz 06-12-2006 11:57 PM

I was able to see Greek letters on the GC, but not on here.

And where are the cool smilies? :(

That's why it's a good thing you can set it yourself to how you want posts to show. Also note there are 3 different text editors available...

Go into your User CP/Options. You can basically make GC to work the way you want it to. Go ahead, play around.

The old smilies were probably imported from the old version. I'll see about getting the new smilies setup tonight...

docetboy 06-13-2006 12:01 AM

Talk about quick service. Thanks, John.

Can anyone tell i'm bored tonight?

Eh, I'm a teacher, it's the summer...my days look like this: Get up around 9:30/10:00; Work out done by noon; lunch; lay out at pool from about 1:00-3:00; Come back & shower; Play video games; Read; Make dinner; Go see friends; Go to bed; Start over.

docetboy 06-13-2006 12:05 AM

I'm jealous.

BTW, anyone notice when you use quick reply, your message shows up instantly without the page even needing to be reloaded? cool stuff!

Buttonz 06-13-2006 12:17 AM

That is cool :)

Why would you wake up so early then? :p I'd just lay in bed until noon if I could.

The new smilies are on GC now.

I'm not sure what the deal is with the letters in firefox. Greek letters displayed properly in firefox in the old forum software? Just want to be sure it wasn't a previous issue also. I'll look into this, but probably not something I'll be able to get to immediately.

John, correct. Everything worked fine in old GC, and with the new forum software it doesn't. However, I noticed it will show up correctly in the WYSIWYG editor, just not anywhere else. Maybe there's a way you can load the symbol font into the forum? I dunno....

And I noticed you have the new smilies up. I know i'm being picky but is there a way we could have both old and new? :)

CrimsonTide4 06-13-2006 12:46 AM

It feels so good to be back. :D :D

AKA_Monet 06-13-2006 01:15 AM

Yaay!!! Back in the business again...

MaryAmanda 06-13-2006 01:55 AM

There is a way to get Greek letters to display in every other font, you know...just look through Character Map. :cool:


To test it out, are the Greek letters in my sig showing up to everyone? I'm on a PC (bleh!) running Firefox--how about everyone else?

SoCalGirl 06-13-2006 02:50 AM

I can see your letters MaryAmanda.

I love my GC!!!! Yay John! :)

Tom Earp 06-13-2006 08:46 AM

Breathing a sigh of relief :D

Will take a while to get used to all of the new little things!


HI every body!!!!!!

VAgirl18 06-13-2006 08:51 AM

so glad that it's back! i'd been going through withdrawl. :D

Scandia 06-13-2006 09:01 AM

I'm so happy to see it return.

Small comment- where is the Psi in the logo?

Ha ha, I noticed that too! :p


Edit: Not to say that I don't appreciate all of John's hard work--I've managed tiny forums before, nothing on this scale, and I know what a pain it can be--but I'm sad to say that was the first thing I noticed...

Sister Havana 06-13-2006 09:13 AM

YAY! So glad GC is back! :D

UofISigKap 06-13-2006 09:13 AM

Yay for GC being back so I have one more thing to occupy my time this summer.

Sister Havana 06-13-2006 09:28 AM

Are we still going to have the GC forum on GeekBoards? Because that's kind of fun too. :)

I was wondering the same thing.

Drolefille 06-13-2006 10:19 AM
