Having trouble finding the edit feature Hi bee,
For your post here.........move the mouse pointer into the text area of your post and then a "gear" icon will appear in the top, right corner of the text box. Hover on this and you will see options and then an "edit" icon. Click the edit, for edit. You will only be able to edit text at this time............the bold, quote and URL insert, etc. goodie boxes will not appear. You can also "drop" a URL link into the text area at this time. If you need to use the "goodie boxes", you will have to start a new comment in your own thread or "use html codes language.
Accipiter noted that this will likely be reworked in the future.
Take care,
Catch
Post your migration problems and questions here I was curious as to what "UnRead" might do- it seems to bring up a restricted category of communication/commentary I would guess is used for site developmental work.
Not sure if you guys were aware of this.
Great job on the new site setup. Got really scared a while back when you-know-who severely annoyed Accipiter...
Regards- OJ
Edit/Add: I'm still fooling around and trying all the buttons and gadgets. Somehow on the discussions page I caused a gear wheel to appear on the other "announcement" post, and clicking on it offered a "dismiss" option. I tried that, just to see what might happen, and sure enough the entire post "went away". Not sure how to get it back, if possible. Oddly, can't seem to make that gear wheel appear again, at least at this time.

Don't bet the farm; keep investments simple, diversified: Buffett Ted - if that's the case you should also change your handles so that it matches here on MFO forum and other forums including M*. In fact there are several posters here who also do not have the same handle here and on other forums whether it be M*, Seekingalpha and others. You're going to ask everyone to change their handles?
This is an investing forum and so what's wrong with "GlobalValue" contained in the handle? Should we have names such as Sweet_K_Bunny as if this was a Wordpress blog on Home cooking? Oh and now you're going to tell me that Accipiter is a real cool and awesome handle and so is Ginko and expat and Old_skeet and Crash and TheShadow and Catch22, etc. etc.
Understandably on slow days - it's easy to fall into a state of mental masturbation.
Look - accept the fact that 1-2% of posts may overlap with yours and don't break a sweat over it. With the volume of posts plus the fact that you just provided a link to Buffet's letter with no reference to it other than "Fortune Article" - can be easily missed...and yes I had overlooked it too.
Hmmm...things are getting a bit too weird.
Post your migration problems and questions here @mona -
do you realize that your browser will take you to the first comment that you have not read, when you click on a discussion that has new comments.
does that help?
I did not before! Thanks.

Post your migration problems and questions here It is not a migration issue as I experienced the same problem before the upgrade.
The Great Owls Funds are not shown in IE 11 browser.
At the end of the page I see a message "Your browser won’t work with iframes".
Is it possible to fix that by configuring IE11?
I don't use ie11 chip may have an idea.
I did see this on the web. It may help.
Tools --> Internet Options --> Security --> Internet Zone --> Custom Level --> Miscellaneous --> Launch programs and files in an IFRAME.
I tried this in IE11 and I can't get it to work, even with changing the Security settings. The request just times out.
Charles did warn that the page is optimized to work with Chrome. Unfortunately, for now, you'll have to use Chrome to access it, or just download the .pdf version. I'm sorry for that inconvenience.
Here we are! The fund ticker pop-up is not currently working in the discussion forum. We're aware of it, and Accipiter is working to fix it.
they should be functional now.

Discussion board will be offline Friday evening and into the wee hours Saturday Thanks to David and Chip and Accipiter for all their efforts. Look forward to the changes.
Discussion board will be offline Friday evening and into the wee hours Saturday Dear friends,
MFO has two transitions underway. The first is to a new server. We'e moving from shared space on a Total Choice Hosting server to a virtual private server at Green Geeks. We believe that will give us better reliability since our fate won't be tied to the fate of dozens of other sites on that server, and also better technical support. It will also substantially reduce MFO's environmental impact. The second is to a new version of the Vanilla forums software. We've had several of these upgrades in the past three years. The new versions of the software are never fully compatible with the older ones, so the transition takes planning and care.
Fortunately, we've got
Accipiter and Chip on our side, so I'm in good spirits.
The discussion board will be unavailable beginning Friday evening, while we transition to our new server. You should expect it to be available again some time on Saturday. You will likely have to log in again. There will be some changes in appearance, since the discussion software is a newer version. We'll post announcements with information about these changes, which you'll see once we've completed the transition. If you have any trouble accessing the new discussion forum, please email Chip at
[email protected].
Keeping a good thought,
David

@JohnChisum: It's only posting videos on technical question forums
Accipiter has problems with. Though I think Kaspa's suggestion is a good one all around.

@Accipiter: Thanks a lot for your help and your decision to stay on.
Falcon's Eye and other changes I would hope that this incident has brought on new appreciation for what Accipiter does behind the scenes, and with a dial up modem at that. A big thanks to Accipiter.
Falcon's Eye and other changes Thanks Accipiter for your efforts, sorry to see you go. Old_Skeet is correct, you will be missed and Crash is correct, it stinks.
Falcon's Eye and other changes This reminds me of years ago when one student in the class misbehaved and the whole class got punished. I enjoy this site very much and find it beneficial as well as no doubt others do. I am very sorry to learn that the action of one has caused a most valued behind the scene principal to choose to leave. This saddens me greatly. I can only say ... Thanks Accipiter for all you have done and I can assure you, you will be missed by the community as a whole. I sincerely wish you the very best. And, know though sometimes alpha type people do things without much thought as to how their actions might effect others (in this casue you).

@Accipiter: Thanks for everything and so sorry. I think you're being too hasty and wish you'd reconsider. But, I understand and respect your decision.

@Accipiter: With all due respect, I refuse to go on a guilt trip that I'm responsible for you leaving MFO. I hope you reconsider your decision and for what it's worth my sincere apology if I offended you.
Regards,
Ted
