Forum Migration to XenForo Completed

If you click on thread with unread posts, you are sent to last post. If you click on thread with no unread posts you are sent to first post. It would be nice if we could control this though.

It's an up to date look, and obviously much better for phones (and narrow browser windows). But there is one thing that I miss: the flag on threads that I've already posted to. Without that, I'll miss replies to my questions and questions directed at me. Is there another way to automatically get that (without explicitly subscribing)?

 

You can click on multiple reply when composing you post or copy/paste the quoted text.

Re Alerts

 

I think that most of those features were disabled. Still settings are there, but they make no change as features are not available.

I only read the first page and agree with those that have stated it's to bright! A little bit of a hassle changing all of the addresses via bookmarks, properties and pasting the new ones per forum but can't really do anything about that.

 

Thanks! JRViejo

I just have to get the hang of it.

 

Old and new...comparison There is too much 'air' in the new look compared to the old....Anyone else, see it or understand me?

 

@ hqsec

Well i've had 4 Alerts so far !

@ LowWaterMark

Apart from my other observations etc, when we go to reply & choose "More Options" it appears we can't see ALL the earlier posts below, as we could on VB ?

 

Looks like you already got your answer with regard to single quotes ... if you mouse-over the "Reply" link, it clearly shows "Reply, quoting this post" (maybe not quite verbatim, but close enough).

As for multiple quotes, sorry, I never could figure that out even under the old system. Oh, you can copy-and-paste and use the quote -/quote button on the highlighted text, but that wouldn't attribute the quote properly -- I don't even see a button for that now, so I guess you'd have to, for any additional quotes after the first, set up all the appropriate BB coding by hand using the format of the first quote as a guide.

 

Too bright.

 

To be or not to be [so] alerted....

So, overwhelming! Major Tom! ...to ground control.

 

If you look at this thread's entry in the General Topics forum list:

https://www.wilderssecurity.com/forums/general-topics.5/

Do you see a small version of your avatar at the bottom right of LVM's avatar?

In Your Account->Preferences, you can check "Automatically watch threads" and leave "receive email notifications" unchecked. Then monitor those via https://www.wilderssecurity.com/watched/threads.

You can adjust your Alert Preferences to zero in on what you want.

BTW, what does my profile look like to you guys? Is it locked down, just showing the "find all contents, find all threads, start a conversation" link?

 

This is what comes up for your profile, BTW... "This member limits who may view their full profile."

Hope that helps....can you check what you see when you go to mine? Just curious.

 

I like this new forum software, but are there any themes available? This default theme looks washed out and is very difficult to pick out on my LCD, I can barely tell the difference between the quoted text from the actual reply text. It is also very difficult to tell where one post ends and another begins. There is also no significant contrast between peoples posts and their signatures, so you end up reading the signature as part of the post, before you realize this is a signature. So, if the admins could put up a new theme that has a little bit more contrasting colors to make it easier to read the forums, this will be a perfect change.

 

not much difference in brightness from the previous one.

but i love the new look!

i noticed that some avatars are pixelated now.
probably just a matter of resizing my avatar and upload again for the new format.

 

@Tarnak: Thanks for checking mine. Gotta work on it apparently. How about I PM you a pic. Gives me an excuse to test PM. OK with you? While I'm at it though, I can tell you I just see an Interact section with:

Content:

Find all content by Tarnak
Find all threads by Tarnak

Conversation:
Start a Conversation

 

Yes, OK.....but I am just about at my maximum limit on PM's

 

@TheWindBringeth

I notice that you don't show up in the 'recent activity' page.

Perhaps, you are hidden?

 

Interesting. I do have the "Show your online status" option UNCHECKED, but didn't expect that to remove me from a list that would show recent replies. Started, or tried to start a "conversation" with you. Get some kind of notice?

You are in a maze of twisty little passages...

 

sorry LWM.
i deleted my post because i fixed it.
yes, it said the image exceeded the 30 KB limit.

i just used Photoshop "Save for Web" and tweaked the quality setting until it was under 30 KB

 

You should make moontan's avatar limit 5k or something. That thing is way to disturbing
