Howdy Everyone!

[NintenDan]

Well, I (NintenDan) have re-joined to the DS Ultimate forums. I tried to login when I first got here, but soon realised I had to register again! :p

I felt stupid then, but now I'm happy, because the site is all brand new and spiffy! And the smilies look a lot more... smily!

Once again, I hope this place gets bigger and bigger a lot sooner!

hello we all hope it gets bigger an better soon

[cheat-master30]

Yeah, so do I. And welcome to the new DS Ultimate forums, which I hope rule either more than the last ones! vBulletin forum software is awesome!

[NintenDan]

Yeah. I'm finding it easier to navigate in this forum than the last, and the reply button is easy to find also! Just have to get used to the layout...

[cheat-master30]

I know. vBulletin is very, very different to Invision Power board is in layout. But it beats it in layout in my personal opinion!

I agree

it easyer to find stuff an they make new topic button was easyer to find to.. also theres a spell checker yay.. I used it to fix alot of spelling errors on my site (u have to download the spell checker well worth it if ur bad a speller)

[cheat-master30]

I agree

So true. The features here kill Invision Power Board to the largest extent.

I have not really used the spellcheck, but the reputation systems, custom BB code and profile fields, announcements from Admin CP and the other features allow a huge amount of customisation. Plus, this quick reply is so helpful.

[NintenDan]

I don't need a spell checker that much, but the quick reply seems helpful. I'm using it right now, and It's my first time!

I like the layout a lot more too!

[cheat-master30]

So do I. It looks so much more professional.

[NintenDan]

When I joined to this one, it seemed more "friendlier" with the instructions and all.

[caprontos]

haha well I'm a bad speller and I used the spell checker on my site to. I've only used it on here a few times thou

[cheat-master30]

Okay. What is it with bad spelling and the internet now?

[caprontos]

idk I've always been bad at spelling thou

[cheat-master30]

I meant on forums and the like? Is it not quicker just to type correctly than wrong? According to some people that is.

[caprontos]

it would be quicker.. but I can't spell... I'm not horrable.. but still

[NintenDan]

I don't know either. I guess it's one of those mysteries that will never be solved!

[cheat-master30]

Maybe! Yay, over 1000 posts already!

spelling is a subject like math or reading... saying thats would be like me saying to someone that is bad a math why not just do the math problems right the first time it would be faster then making all the mistakes.... or why tellling someone that can't read to just read the book right and it would be easyer... saying to just spell right isn't possable for someone that isn't a good speller...

I understand thou theres thos people that put numbers in there words... there annoying..

[cheat-master30]

Very true. Numbers in words are annoying, and alternate caps are hard to read (try reading an old novel from about the 17th-18th century).

[NintenDan]

I had to read some old book in school, and this person who wasn't good at reading started. (It was a class member reads one paragraph, then next student reads paragraph, etc.) He read 3 whole pages because his friends told him to keep reading! It was funny! Mean, but funny!

[cheat-master30]

Hah! Sounds hilarious. This is tougher to read though (a real one line extract):

I was born in the Year 1632, in the City of York, of a good Family, tho' not of that Country, my Father being a Foreigner or Bremen, who settled first at Hull: He got a good Estate by Mechandise...

From Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe, published in 1719

[NintenDan]

I see what you mean. It's hard to believe that some people actually talked like that in the earlier years...

[cheat-master30]

Yeah, and they did actually use the Italics randomly as well, plus change style. That book alone goes from a period of what seems like a day, then says that 30 years have passed.

[caprontos]

thats wierd... but I bet you'd get use to how its wrote pretty fast.. at lest I would.

[cheat-master30]

Kind of. Really difficult to read out loud though.

[NintenDan]

I agree. It'd be confusing and all.

[cheat-master30]

It actually is. It does also not help that I get no choice what book to study.

[NintenDan]

I agree with you. For some unkown reason, you'll always get stuck with some book to study that you completely hate!

[elvis1835]

Hey Nintendan and I agree more "spiffy" would be pretty cool

[elvis1835]

not that it isn't very spiffy already
