Newcomers - Introduction Thread!

[B'rrr]

I just open off topic board and open every thread that doesn't has my name as latest post in a new tab (that is, if I have time, if I don't I just go for the threads with the *new* icon)

[crayauchtin]

I just go for threads with the "new" icon, which seems to be back so I am saved!

they didn't always have the new icon?

[B'rrr]

They have,. but Cray mentioned it wasn't working properly. It doesn't always shows for me either, but not sure why.

[Tage7]

The New icons don't show up when you're logged out. I don't know if that's your issue though.

[B'rrr]

I never log out though, since I suck at remembering passwords.

[waltzdancing]

My laptop never logs out as well, but the new icons usually work for me but I also look at the recient post section near the who's on line too.

[Haids1987]

I never log out, either.  Unless I do a Cclean, I never type in my password.

[crayauchtin]

Yeah, I never log out...
And now, although the "new" icon was there the orange-ness next to the off-topic section was gray not orange even though there were new posts.
Why do the forums hate me???

[Tage7]

I think I know what's going on. If there's only one new post in the thread, it doesn't say "New" and the orange light doesn't come on; however, if there are more than one new posts, everything works almost correctly. If you click a "New" icon, it will take you to the post after the first new post.

It's a website bug that hopefully will be addressed in the future.

Edit: Maybe not. It seems very random. It didn't do that for me just now, but it did earlier. In any case, something's up with the website.

[B'rrr]

Lets blame Oberonqa!

Maybe it has something to do with posts beeing made around the same time you post or anything *ponders*

[crayauchtin]

I think that it's..........

.....something technological that I don't understand!

[Delling]

...I only just figured out what the "New" button you guys were talking about is!...

[Haids1987]

When I was first on this forum I would use the "new" button, but that was too painstaking.  The "view new posts" button is so much more effective and easy.

[Delling]

I dunno... I like Recent Posts... that way I can see what was said and where.

Hey everyone, I'm a 19-year old male from the United Kingdom. A longtime fan of Sierra 'Quest' games, my earliest memories of the King's Quest series are from when I played a copy of The Princeless Bride (my first memory of the series is the image of the gravedigger holding out his shovel for Rosella at the beginning of Chapter 4). My dad later picked me up a copy of the collection featuring the first six games and MoE, and I love them all. As an aspiring writer I have found the games to be particularly inspiring.

I have watched The Silver Lining project through its development but I am now joining the forums having joined the efforts to save the project, emailing Activision and signing the petition. It's great to see that the community is still thriving.

Just as an extension of my 'about me' and not so much a shameless advertisement, one of my writing projects is currently a a literary analysis of the King's Quest series, from its themes, characters and plot to its fairy tale allusions and unanswered questions. It's a way off completion but it's something I'm looking forward to sharing with the fans. It has also added a whole new perspective to playing the series.

Thank you for having me.

I concur with the "sweet"-ness. ...and hope that perhaps you'd share it with us when you're done!

Welcome to the forums!
