If I recall correctly I do believe our original forum didn't have a cancel button either. We always had to "delete" our posts to get rid of them. It's definitely not an ideal solution for anyone if they've made an error in judgment before posting something.
But if you realize that you don't want to post something you've typed, you can always just use the browser's back button to get out of the posting window - or am I missing something? :?:

Are we able to match the font size to what we used on HWF ? I'm fine with what is here but there may be some who require a larger font.

That's a good question, Judy, and one I'd thought about myself. It can be done, and as far as I can tell, it's not all that hard to do. The catch is that the change has to be made in a file on the server, which means that David Hathaway would have to do it, or at the very least upload a replacement file I sent him. And he'd probably need to do that every time there was an update to the program, as I think the updates replace most if not all of the files (I'm basing that on looking at the files on the server for my WildlifeCamWatch forum, and it looks as if they all have the date I did the update).

It looks as if a possible solution is to make a new style (by duplicating the old one - which I can do at WildlifeCamWatch) and then making the changes we'd like - and then having David upload the new style. Updates will replace the default style, but shouldn't affect our custom one. I think.

I'm also thinking that unless we get complaints about the font being too small, I'll wait on that until we have some of the other stuff done, much as I'd love to go play with the underlying code!

Thanks, gemini! And we were able to make the font a little bigger, like it is on the current (soon-to-be-old) forum.

And thanks to David Hathaway for uploading the files for us!

This does look good. I like it better than our "soon to be" old forum. :thumlft:

Bev, it was JudyB and gemini who did 99.9% of the work, along with David Hathaway, so our thanks must go to them. All I did was fill in a few blanks here and there.

I may be lagging in discovering this but in order to see all members who are signed it shows only when on the Board Index page. If you are within a certain forum area then only the people using that specific area are showing as on-line. That is much different than our old forum where the entire list of those on-line showed on the right side of the page.

The list of online members on the right column was an admin-only thing on the soon-to-be-old glFusion forum, Judy. And I believe that the only place to see who was online that everyone could use was the bottom of the main index page. It sounds as if there may be a way to add a column (not sure if it would be on left or right) and we may try to do that at some point so people will have easy access to the "Donate Now" button, and some other quick links - but that sounded more complicated, so we decided to wait a bit on that.
