How do I...

I have signatures turned off, but I see the VAPS link under the user name next to a post (below the donation fruit and above the Joined date)

I'm talking about the game count that used to be next to our usernames in the old (better) forum.

It only shows under the signatures if you have signatures turned on. Kinda lame.

I have zero access to the forums templates but its a possibility that the vaps hooks were placed in the sig template.

edit: I'm almost certain of it now.
 
How do I........delete a converstion? (Formerly known as pm)
You see you can select them, or select them all and... export (???)

Wait what I can't see it either WTF. I think it has some of my pms that I deleted back in the day on the old forum
 
Conversations works way different than private messages of the past.

(unless some additional permissions were set) both parties must "leave" the conversation in order to allow you to delete it.
 
Yeah, I looked into that a while back too. I don't think it's possible. Kinda annoying.

I'm really not a fan of the convo format. I preferred the lower-level format that gave you more control, and kept your inbox chronological. And it had a nice easy way to export and delete/clean/maintain your inbox. I haven't tried exporting here yet, but I worry how things are going to be once quotas are created.

I have five years of PM's exported in text format from the old system, saved locally, and fully searchable. And I use it frequently for looking customer info up, past discussions, etc.

EGAD, that's hands down the most miserable "feature" I've ever heard of. Who the hell came up with that UX? Firing squad offense as far as I'm concerned.
 
In a pm conversation, is there a way to tell if the person read the message? I remember you can tell on the old system whether they read it or not.

Sorry if this has been addressed before.

Not that i know of
 
Saw a thread I was interested in. Clicked on "watch" in the thread. Come back later. Where/how do I find the threads I'm "watching"?

Watch also mainly means you get an email notification when there are updates to that thread. But maybe you need to enable email notifications as well.

If you don't want the notification actions you can bookmark the thread and that stores it in a different list...
