H-I, suddenly I am glad that I joined quite a bit later than you.

But thanks for mentioning the white dots. I had yet to make the connection!

Ok... um i need to ask a question...maybe two.

I don't think i've been around since the Ez board days but, i do remember a big renovation taking place on the downs...because, it seemed as if everyone had "disappeared" and some posts were not there as they had been the day before. Also, some of the formats in the profile changed. I think it might had been sometime in the last two summers...I might be wrong.

Another is, I forgot how to locate very old post... and i feel in a cleaning mood so, i'm just curious.

If you could help, it would be a great relief!

~Thankful Ka~

The events you refer to must have happened when the UBB versions updates took place (Fall 2002, Spring 2004, I will stand corrected if I missed some). Only smiley codes ran amok during the event. But your initiative is commendable

Current situation update: Despite recent slowdown, I believe I've managed one fifth of the whole posts to be edited.

Tip for those who just started - don't repeat my mistake, and keep record of number of posts you've edited - knowing the date of the migration from EZ to UBB, and knowing approximate number of your posts by that date, it will be easier for you to know what is your progress. I haven't done that, and now regret it

cheers

Because we (yes me too) have been slacking off. I like reading the old threads, but sometimes it's too tedious.

Well, after nine months of 'slackery-nigglery' editing, I may finally wipe my brow and give birth to a report: at last, all my posts [presumably, unless I've missed some] in Books forum are cleansed of old code rags and, hopefully, spelling errors too. Some got deleted for being pointless, useless (on account of me not remembering where the links I originally provided were supposed to lead to) or generally silly.

The enourmous time waste over comparatively small number of posts was caused by the fact that, more often than not, I was distracted from my main goal and got carried away reading them

Now, horrid 'Quotes' forum lies ahead of me. It contains way more posts to be edited...

*sigh*

Surely it isn't really necessary to go through all your Quotes posts!

I usually only read the first post of a Quotes thread to get the rules, than go to the last page to start joining in.

And less HerenIstarion editting means more HerenIstarion posting.
