The New, Improved, Flopping Aces Is Now Live!

Enjoy!

Be patient with any bugs, they will be fixed. If you find any let me know in the comments. I apologize for the delay in getting this done, and all the downtime over this weekend, but it’s finally here and I want to thank the Flopping Aces community for all the support, and donations, to make the new site possible.

PS – Check out the “expand this post” button to read the whole post without having to click on the “continue reading” link. Pretty cool. Plus, the Most Wanted section is where I will be placing links to stories that might interest you.

    Curt,
    I know that I am old, blind and pretty dumb, but can you add a “reply” to each message. Sometimes on the longer threads it can be difficult to find the right “reply” button? I think that I have replied to the wrong post a few times now….
    Cheers
    Rob

    @DrJohn: Yup Doc. It smooths out the bumps from a rough day and warms the bones from the inside at the end of a Winter Day.

    If the ”gravitar” folks don’t like my name and demand a new one will that mean my name here will also change?
    That is what is stopping me from trying to get a picture.

  13. Nan G no , I had to give a name difrent for them to, after you gave your FA name,
    so they keep the other one on your file and also this fa name is in another box,
    IF this make sense, I had to figure that one, after a long time

    @Rob in Katy: There already is a reply button up, and the numbers have been added. You’re talking about comments right or are you talking about posts?

    @Nan G: Gravatar from gravatar.com follow you via your email address. The address is made into a hashed value, which then follows you around. Has nothing to do with your name.

    Curt,
    I am really sorry, I didn’t see those “Reply” things there last night. I could have sworn that there was only the one on the main post? As many will attest, I am an idiot.

    @Rob in Katy:

    The tweaks are an ever-moving, ever-elusive sort of thing.

    What was once over there ===>
    is now over there < ===

    What was once missing….has now reappeared.

    It’s sort of fun spotting the changes. I am so glad that we got the “Reply” button and post numbers back. I was seriously missing those things.

    Also glad the nested replies have gone away as well.

    FA is famous for epic thread conversations and all that indenting and tucked away responses was messing with my intellect.

  18. arent we all humbled by the new FA?
    now could it be that it was included in the project to test our brain power
    like a mind probe, wittin the FA, WE’LL NEVER KNOW,
    THAT IS A SECRET ,I became suspicious when I start to see the word “testing”

    Aye…the New Fa is coming along keenly. I am impressed. No better place to hang my hat than here due to the generosity of Curt & expertise of Axel.

    I am building a Reader Post today. I need to know how to post images and will willingly accept any Mentoring that can be provided.

    I have no Duty for the next three days so my Beret is off and my Thinking Cap is on. My Stetson is waiting back home on my top shelf…

    @Rob in Katy: No need to apologize, it wasn’t there until late yesterday. Same with the numbers. The consensus was they wanted those things back so Axel put em’ in. Just as Aye said, there will be more coming. Axel is working on a patch as we speak with a lot of stuff people have asked for.

    @Old Trooper 2: @ILOVEBEESWARZONE:

    generosity of Curt

    Actually, it was the generosity of the readers who sent in those donations. It wasn’t cheap to get this done, and yeah…I spent a lot of time on it but because of you all, none of it was an out of pocket expense for myself. Axel has worked real hard on this and the man knows what he is doing. Not only did he design the site, he coded it also. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any kind of project any reader needs done.

    @MataHarley: Can and will do.
    Jana told me to do one. Since she had another “Home Alone Dammit, Duty Honor Country Christmas” without me, I owe it to her. Her actual quote by the way.

    It may be time for me to see how high I can leave a mark on the FA wall with my awkward writing skills.
    I am more impressive in Person but I am building a missive to do for a Reader Post. Cold and Freezing Drizzle out so I can put my Thinking Cap on.

    Grand Marnier in quantity at the house. Not here. However Cuban cigars are available but no Cubano Sandwiches…

    My Thanks to Curt and Axel.!

    I just wanted to thank you for that strip along the bottom.
    To be able to either go to the top of the page or go to the home page after reading the most recent comment without first having to scroll up is a treat.
    Might seem small to some, but I greatly appreciate it.

  29. I love everything about the new design, except I miss the HTML buttons when posting. The blockquote and bold buttons were very handy.
