• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

i'm NOT trying to slam anybody here but sometimes when i'm reading a post ,it just doesn't make sense. i think most of us don't re- read before we post. this can be very confusing to new readers, i know it was for me untill i learned the spyder terminology. i have learned so much in the last couple of months.if it weren't for this site and all the good people here to answer my questions, i never would have bought my Spyder, and i'm very thankful for that.:clap:

Some people can express themselves better than others [in type], if your not sure about a post just ask for a clarification. I know some of the things i post sometimes don't make sense. But my heart is in the right place.:thumbup:
 
It's easy to make typo's. I'm a college perfesser and I try to catch all the typo's I make--but, I'm sure some get through.

I can spell, I just can't type. Spell check sure helps. Plus, I always preview the post before I post it. Even then, I miss a lot. Same mistake twice, I guess. :roflblack:

Fixed it for you. :D
 
99% of times, I'm reading/posting here on my phone and that is my excuse. :D
That is also why I'm logged in 24/7.
I am logged in as long as window for spyderlovers is not closed.
I get 8 windows on safari and one of them is always on spyderlovers.

I usually have to edit 2-3 times after I post.

Likewise. I always reread after I hit SEND. and almost always catch a goof or where 'autocomplete' didn't read my mind correctly!!

My Droid-X phone likes to think for me and often changes words. Plus, typing on the touch screen is often a challenge in itself.:gaah:

+1 on that. Damn phone has a mind of its own sometimes, and the window to proof read is small and limited.

Spell Cheque

And now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
There are know faults in awl this peace,
Of nun eye am a wear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.

That's why eye brake in two averse
Cuss eye dew want too please.
Sow glad Aye yam that Aye did bye
This soft wear four pea seas. :joke:

And if the above poem were put through an English spell checker it would not find a fault, even though the following correctly spelt version was what the author intended.

And now because my spelling
Is checked with such great flare
There are no faults in all this piece
Of none I am aware.

To write with care is quite a feat
Of which one should be proud
And we must do the best we can
So flaws are not allowed.

That's why I break into a verse
Cos I do want to please
So glad I am that I did buy
This software for P.C.'s.

Well I'm probably three of the worst typists in here... I spend more time backspacing and cussing than anybody else!:gaah: BUT... If we don't maintain our communicative skills we ALL lose something.
I'm with COZ! :thumbup:

Are we now going to critique everyone's post?

Give it a rest people; it's been this way since the site was started. That's what makes this site so much fun; sometimes you have to read the post 4 times and it still doesn't make sense.

I have to give kudos to spyderwolf. One time I read a post about 10 times and couldn't make any sense of it. Spyderwolf knew exactly what was being said. So, if there is ever any question, ask spyderwolf.;)

Now, back to the fun in Costa Rica.
 
Lazy English skills drive me crazy---- the more people text and post -- the worse it seems to get---- the devolution of such skills over the last decade has been very noticeable - even from so-called 'professional' writers in our local paper.
 
I guess I would fall into this same group, my problem is I do proof read several times and I still screw it up. My mind tends to fill in the blanks when I type and read so it looks fine to me until I read it later that day or sometimes days later. :opps:

I say just do the best you can and we'll do the best we can to try and figure out what you meant to say. :doorag:
