But <CTRL> click should still work then, at least on Windows.

Yes, that works (with the left mouse button, of course).

Thread officially hijacked!

Oh my!

Wat?

How so? Pekka started this by staying, "If you have a question about this new forum software, this is the place and time..."

I probably should have put this here, instead.

Anyone? Bueller?

Regarding search: I'm finding it very difficult to find lenses in the gaggle of text when doing a search by metadata. Maybe it's my aging eyes.

Is there a plan/is it possible to simplify (the lenses part, anyway) by creating a drop-down box where one can say, type in the first 2-3 numbers of the focal length and then a list of matches appears that can then be selected?

I don't know if it's the spacing or the organization that is giving my eyes a hard time with that section.

Anyone? Bueller?

Yes, I know it is a tight mess there, sorry. I'll do something to it in the future. I'll probably add there the same gear selector tool that metadata has (it will have a search too later).

I have been reluctant to ask….But since there is a bit of talk about "searching"….I must say I have had no luck using the search tool with the new format. It is likely too sophisticated for my feeble mind. Can we not search within a specific thread/forum any longer? Is there a post/thread anywhere that might walk me through how to use this tool?

Go to the forum page or even the thread page, then open the search tool by hitting SEARCH at the top. If you select in threads, a toolbox will open, and at the top in a large box will be the current thread, select that to lock in that thread. If you select in forums, the same thing happens, but the forum will be in the top box, select it and/or more down below. Enter your text in the title or the body field, and hit search.

Your last search remains active, hit reset to clear it out. To get to previous searches, hit the history in the lower corner.

Yes you can search a thread easily.

Nice, but again, I tried to add IMG tags around your duck image to post in the other thread, however, AMASS currently won't re-render a duck image on the server in a different post.

So I'm sure this is a great tool for those that understand how to use it. But, I just followed your directions….I chose this thread under "in threads", I entered the words "search" and "Tools" into the text box, and came up with what was seemingly one page that had a post from Pekka at the top. THis post had the words "Search, searching, tool" and maybe another in it. That was the only thing that came up. I would think that at the very least my post above would have poped up. I don't get the search tool and don't think it is that user friendly.

Search index is updated only about twice a day for next few days.

Thanks, Pekka. Was just wondering if it was noticed by anyone other than myself.

Was the image you were trying to quote a potn hosted image?

Still trying to figure out how to tell which threads I've visited before... particularly when there has been activity on the thread since I viewed it.

I can which threads I have not viewed - thread title bolded
and those which I have viewed all posts - marked as "all seen"
but can't tell on a thread that I have viewed that has had activity since I've visited - I think these are also bolded ??

The place I use this most are the photo sections. Once I've viewed the OPs image(s) and commented, I generally don't care to go back and re-visit. So I like knowing which threads I've already visited (activity since or not). With the old software it was easy for me to tell via link color, but haven't figured this out yet with AMASS.

I added it to the sticky.
