I am. This is what I get back:

Not Found
The requested URL /vb//portal.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.34 Server at www.trumpetmaster.com Port 80

I'm using TM on firefox and find no problems at all with the server. perhaps you need to type in http://www.trumpetmaster.com/vb ?

I just wanted to say how much I love the new forum. It's easy to navigate and I LOVE the quick reply options.

Folks,

Michael: The error you are seeing indicates that the browser is looking for www.trumpetmaster.com/forums/portal.php, which was the old phpbb software. Make sure your browser isn't auto-completing the url field for you. Try making sure the url reads only http://www.trumpetmaster.com (which as Trent pointed out will re-direct you to www.trumpetmaster.com/vb, where the new software is located).

I'll see if I can fix that problem with big photos.

Very soon we'll have an option available to use a fluid site design rather than the fixed-width one that we have now. I'll post something in this forum when that happens. Those of you with smaller screens or who prefer a fluid design for whatever reason can set that up then. If you prefer the neat fixed-width look that we currently have, you can keep that.

Many more things to come in the near future. Glad you are all starting to get used to the new software. Bear with us while we do the same and add new features.

I am sure I noticed earlier that it would return in time.

I do miss having all the smilies and typeface options available as I write - I an remember some codes, but having a button you can click was so easy.

Ok - on the upper left of the main toolbars is a link called "User CP". Click that.

Then, on the menu options on the side, click the link that says "Edit Options"

From there, scroll all the way down the page until you get to a section titled: "Miscellaneous Options" and " "Message Editor Interface"

You have three choices:
Basic Editor - A simple text box
Standard Editor - Extra Formatting Controls
Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing

It seems that there have been some changes since I was last on to the emoticon functionality since I was last on, but I chose the third option - Full WYSIWYG Editing, and it gave me clickable emoticons in a box to the right of the text editor window.

This worked for me.
