The New SA Forum is Live tonight. We were able to bring over all the posts & topics up until 6:30 PM tonight. If you posted on the old forum after 6:30 pm est it will not appear on the new forum. Lots of new features to check out. If you click on Profile you have many more options that what you had with the old forum. New Calender, My Mesages Area, Buddies List, etc. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.  -Ken |

Where do i find the fun emoticons? I liked the green guy!
Looks like we are in store for some fun new exploring. Thanks for the upgrade. I know many were having problems in the old forums.

Ok, in the 17 minutes since I have logged on, I have found some really fun features. It will take some adjustment, but it seems very easy to navigate. This should be fun! Thanks

 Look great! Will take awhile to get use to it though. I do miss my Marge. Have not been able to get the Jump to: to work in the forum.

I just clicked APPLAUD under your user name, so you should see 1 instead of 0 now btw - Sorry, you can't repeat a karma action without waiting 1 hours. |

Congrats on the new forums.
Will .sigs be coming back?
I had to fix the leading character in my profile (it seemed to drop first char in transfer), but clicking Show Signature for message doesn't seem to work.

I had a problem with the forum probably because I'm using Mac/Firefox. There were no p.m.'s, I couldn't reply, start a thread or navigate to any different thread unless I click on one and then saw the drop down menu. When I click on a profile I saw this: "An Error Has Occurred!
Many apologies, but you can't view just any profile."
Nothing helped, and I tried 4 browsers. The solution was to load Virtual PC and go to the site and click Admin to reset my password. This works only if you have access to a PC. I think it may be a cookie problem.
Anyway, I did this stuff and the display seems to be okay now.

Thanks,

Yes, it seems to be okay now. What I did was to go to a PC browser using Virtual PC and reset my password in the Admin function. Thanks for the tweak, seems to work now. |

Oh nonsense! I clicked on the "smite" and I guess that takes it away. Sorry to 2 people I clicked the smite on. I didn't know what it was and was trying to figure it all out as I was viewing different threads.
I guess I better not click on nothing else! At least until I am sure I know what it does!
My apologies.
We're all learning. No worries. |

But I clicked on applaud twice to make up for it. I did feel bad for like a half a second! If it was chocolate, it would have been smite all the way!!!! |

Thank you for all the kind words. If you need help on how to use the new forum you can click the Help Button to see if the answer is there. If you cannot find your answer click the live help button on the site to send your question to us. We have over 300 smileys that I am looking at for the forum. I might need the assistance of a mod to decide which ones we will use. We will probably add approx 25 to 50. You can browse them here: http://www.sweepsadvantage.com/smf/Smileys/Lots_O_Smileys/We also have a new chat system that we will activate within a few days. -Ken |

This EXACT thing happened to me. I took a screen shot to post for help but i noticed i couldn't post! lol Anyway, i fixed it by deleting my cookies/files/history/all thosse things in internet options. Then I logged off my account, then went back on. And as you can see, I can post :D Here is what it looked like to us before we fixed it:  |

If you click "Profile" and then "Forum Profile Information", scroll all the way to the bottom to change your signature. Glad everyone is working things out. I am still learning the new admin settings myself. |

OK, I just added a bunch of new emoticons. You can click "more" too see additional ones when posting. We also added a Simpsons Avatar pack similar to what we had on the old forum. Go to Profile to check those out. If we find some more fun ones we'll ad them too.  |
