Hi Everyone,

Now that we have over 26,000 members & 130,000 message posts, Community123.com (the builder and owner of HOATalk) has moved this site to a new more powerful web server.

This should result in even faster response time on the site than before. If you see any problems or have any comments on the site's speed, please post a reply on this topic.

Community123 is working to support all our members here at HOATalk.com.

We hope you enjoy the faster site.

Thanks.

But would have liked to see an EDIT button for posters to use.

Site doesnt hang anymore. Before, every so often, when you clicked links, it would sit there for 30 seconds or so, now no lag.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! It's very encouraging.

Just wanted to let you know that we are now rebuilding the search indexes so the site may get a little slower for the next couple hours while the search engine reads over 12,000 topic pages.

SusanW1: We have thought about the edit button but it presents some problems for us in that: People going back and editing old posts could make subsequent posts no longer make sense. We want to preserve the data integrity of the conversations here.

It also presents issues with monitoring when old posts can change at any time.

Thank you. The site is faster.

Along the edit lines. I know on site that allows edit for only 20 minutes after a post is made. Thus corrections can be made.

Today I noticed the option to bold, italicize and provide a link.

I wanted to thank HOATalk for adding these items.

I also noticed the new "our posting rules" icon with the smiley saying "be nice, no selling . . "

I've noticed more instances of inadvertently mentioning names than selling. I would suggest changing the words in the speech bubble to say "No mentioning of names" OR if you want to spend some programming time, have the speech bubble rotate with the different rules (changing with every thread perhaps).

I do appreciate the changes.

THANK YOU!

Testing Bold Italic Italic Bold https://www.hoatalk.com/

This is a test this is only a test. I like the new Bold and Italic buttons, but it is a bit difficult to see if the buttons are on or off. This is on my iPad Pro. Also, the single line Reply text box is a bit “confining”. Now I’m going to hit Post Reply and see what happens to the markup … cool! It sticks! Now I’ll hit Save Changes (I wish we had a bit more time for changes, like 15 minutes? Possibly with a countdown?)

A minor weirdness: my .signature doesn’t appear immediately after I Save. But it shows up when I refresh.

It would be nice if there was some way to see a list of all my posts. Recently I wanted to find something I wrote awhile ago, to forward a copy to someone, and I couldn't find it. I think the old site had this under the user profile page. I also tried putting my username in the search bar, this did not work.
