To the exisitng memers of these boards, you may find there is an influx of former Yahoo Board Posters, who are un-happy about the treatment being handed to them at Yahoo.

Please be gentle with us.

I would also commend the site here, to existing and those incoming from Yahoo, as the set up reminds me of some of the better boards, ex USA!    

I question the capacity for your people to assimilate into our society. I think we need to stop immigration now.

Nah, welcome. Bring your best sense of humor, try not to be too offended by some of us (especially me) :D

Co-incidently, you may not be far from the truth?

Contrary to popular opinion, at least amongst the Pollies, I don't believe that greater immigration will solve problems, it may actually make more problems, than it solves.

Other than that, thank you for your welcome, although as usual, you may find some ex Yahoo types more agreeable, than others?

Well, yes. I don't know if I'd be tooting my own trumpet if I said I was this forum's arch-opponent of immigration, multiracialism/culturalism, etc. But anyway, I think you'll find a lot of vigorous and sensible discussion on immigration at this place, among many other issues; you really don't see talk like the kind that goes on here in the mainstream media and even among our gutless 'intellectuals'.

And another ex-Yahooer turns up. This place is different, but I'll get used to it eventually. I'' just grab a coffee, sit back, relax and watch for a while.

Welcome to the yahoo crowd, some of us here were in the same boat as you about two years ago when a forum called cracker went a ss up, so we feel your pain.
I'm interested in how/why you stumbled in here though ?

Oh, also, I've noticed you all seem to use nicks with numbers in them,why?

yes, welcome all ex-yahooers.
like skippy I used to be in cracker. It's pretty poor how some coys treat their customers.


take care and all the best

Don't know about others but dsmithy was taken when registering so had to add numbers to get it through.

Oh ok, maybe its the same for the others, it just seems a bit strange that so many new people sign up on the same day and they all seem to use numbers in their nick.

LOL, were not spamming you but yahoo's boards re-opened yesterday & that's when bobby posted about this board & here we are :)

dsmithy - ooooooohhhhhhhh, yahoo may have done some damage to their customers there.

anyway, you'll all work out where you like posting and not.

I think you might find this board more to your taste:

http://www.ozpolitic.com/polanimal

We try to stick to politics here.

Oh, and welcome to OzPolitic.

Hi pn..yes another exile from yahoo...what dills they are.

I am not finding this forum as easy as yahoo but that I am sure doesnt surprise you.. like you I am ashamed of baha..why someone finds the need to express themselves like that I dont know.

I have told him to go away and try growing up..it might work.. baha used to make me laugh now he makes me cringe.

hi cods, you will get used to these boards ,like I, in a short amount of time  :D
I think they are quite exciting with all the little dodads and emotions. Easier for people on dial up to run  ;)

However the only problem  I can not workout so far  is copying someone elses ID quotes into my reply , like  others can do in the little blue boxes :-/

I am here now....and all is well  ;D

hey cods

press Control then press the "=" sign to increase your font  ;)

Hey, How come is it that we Dont have a picture of  Tony Abbott in the Politicans suck title...come on ..befair....


*  
plus we all know  Abbott would suit the title better  ;)

Hey vegi, you ended up keeping the same name. I just experimented with the ctrl and = to increase the font, only trouble I left my fingers on the keys and the page almost jumped out of the monitor....oops!!!!!

Go on cods just one little emoticon....do it! it will be fun.

I know, I'm like a 4 year old that's just discovered paint on the computer, oh well! like they say 'small things......' ;D

Welcome Vegi!

Yes, there are a few extra tools to play, but I'm sure we will get used to them.

As far as "quoting what someone else has said, if you -
1) Go to the post you want to quote & hit the quote tab on the right.
2) Put your cursor after the last quote bracket.
3) Type your response.
4) Hit the preview tab
5) The message you wanted quoted should come up in a box, with your reply following.
6) If you are happy, hit the post tab

Have a great day, the first day of the rest of your life, ex Yahoo?

On the top right corner of every post is a 'quote' button. That's what you need to click for an ID quote.

Maqqa wrote on Jun 19^th, 2010 at 9:55am:

Your may
find it easier
to simply use the type size arrow
which is in the middle of the tools box
when you are doing your post
when you hit the down arrow
and select the type sizeanything that is typed within those brackets
will come up, at that size

You can also try the print type tab, to the left, to change into different print types


Have fun!

So annie, do I have to have the whole line of quotes? What if I just want the last posters quote? Bear with me. I'm off to work soon, you'll be glad to get rid of my silly questions for a while  ::)

Maybe we can c+p like we did in yahoo?

That cracked me up, I hope it was fun.... ;D

You need to make sure you keep the [/quote] bit on the end when you're removing text.

Alternatively, you can copy and paste the text. In the reply box where the little tabs are, there's one with a little blue arrow on the top row, 8th from the right. When you click it, this will appear:

[ quote] [ /quote].

You want to c + p the text in the space between the tags. If you do it this way, you'll get the blue box but not the person's ID.

I trust, you've already studied yesterday's lesson in CYBER BOUNDARIES; brought by the unwitting and the unwilling, to the uninitiated and the incredulous.

As you will see, it was an unfortunate repeat, of the unlearnt lesson of the day before.
