So I restarted taking part in the forums. That was how I started out at My Opera. The “Viv” forums look deceptively like My Opera forums, with so many familiar handles dotted everywhere. The differences, however, take a bit of getting used to.

For example, the post voting system. That’s new. I kind of like it. A good way to encourage positive participation. Though, after reading the thread titled “A few words about users reputation”, I felt I gained a little better insight into this new system.

Another thing is the deceptive familiarity of “inserting” in forum posts. If I remember correctly, we used a modified BB code system at My Opera forums. The new system, of choosing what to insert from the options given, is mostly good enough for me, until the ‘I want to put this in block-quote .. How do I insert block-quote?’ moment hits. Such a moment tells me to appreciate there is still a learning curve to take, no matter how I think myself an “old hand”.

Chur!
