Questions about this new fangled 'board' thang



Why was it deemed interesting to change it?

Why does the 'Quick Reply' feature insist that the message be at least 10 characters - thus rendering it a compulsive longer reply?

Is the 'edit' function exactly the same as before? Can one edit a post long after creating it? If a few minutes afterwards, does there come up a declaration that the post was indeed edited?

Are attachments made simpler now, for multiple attachments is there a limit to size or number of them?

What are you wearing?

I can't answer the question for certain but upgrades are usually intended to provide a more stable and secure board. They are rarely embarked upon because of BOREDOM and the lack of something better to do on a Saturday afternoon.

Although quick replies have to be 10 characters long, you can now do multiple posts without waiting 30 seconds or whatever it was...

I should imagine board comes with added security features. I have seen many boards that have been injected with advertisements for Porn and Viagra.

Secondly I should imagine the code underneath has been changed so it does not throttle MySQL to death.

Can one edit a post long after creating it?

Didn't you have to edit it within ten minutes of posting on the old board? Every time I went around to clean up after Paddy has posted I couldn't edit out if more than ten minutes had passed and a mod had to delete stuff.
