How do I...

Maybe it's just the new system until I click of these "read" threads from before?

could have sworn i responded to your post. I had the same issue when i logged into the new forum software. I clicked on "mark forums read" at the top of the nav menu and it then took me to the latest replies when i visited the forums again.

No worries- thanks for clearing it up!
 
Still looking for:

My PMs
Subscribed Threads
My created thread list
Show more posts per a thread
 
So I noticed the "Mail envelope" takes me to my PMs... but it does not display how many PMs I have. It used to say something like "1946/2000" Is it unlimited now?
 
How do I change the default 20 posts per thread/page to a higher number? I don't see this setting anywhere in the preferences...

forum members can no longer do this by default. Only admins can set how many threads can be seen per page. If @mclemore is open to doing this then its in the admin panel at
Options -> Threads, discussions and conversations -> Discussions per page

there is also a mod that can allow users to do this.

- PMs are in the mail icon at the top right of the top navigation menu

- subscribed threads are now called "Watched" threads. that is located at the top navigation menu in a sub menu called "Watched"

- Your threads are found in the "Threads" menu located at the top navigation menu in a sub menu called "Threads"
 
Thank you for that.

[insert quote here]

I am having difficulty quoting other posts...

I also found a section called "Feedbackcount". What in the world is that? It shows something like X# Positive, X#Negative X#neutral. I don't recall what data that is translating from. :confused: That a moderator related thing?

You're being helpful and all, but how do I stop misreading your name as Don Pancetta, the mob boss of sliced meats?

Click the "Reply" button on the lower right on the post you want to quote, if you only want to quote that one post. The "+Quote" is a multi-quote button...

Okay simple, got it, thank you.

This is important. I had this set at the max amount on the old forum. Less pages is better.
 
Are the inbox limits on number of messages (now conversations) removed? So everyone has unlimited message storage?

I also notice we'll need to resize avatar images due to cropping unless the previous size can be restored perhaps.

I was wondering that as well.

Was there a way of viewing 'sent PMS'? That was a feature I used a bunch.

I believe the pm limit was bumped up
 
I am also having difficulty with the highlighting text in the textbox/reply-window when typing a post. The low contrast color (white highlight on offwhite background) make it a challenge to tell what text is highlighted.

That is good to hear. But I believe the limit needs to be displayed privately for each individual so we know when to clear out our PM boxes. Minor stuff.

Please tell me Tapatalk is still supported.....

We've only been talking about its demise repeatedly for years now. If you search for posts made by me mentioning Tapatalk, you're find a regular stream of them.

Getting rid of it was one of the main reasons we upgraded. We needed the upgrade to make the site mobile friendly without Tapatalk's help.

Same on TapaTalk. I pref having the dedicated app. Mine is not working.

Xenforo is working on a quasi-app... it may get you closer to where you want to be once it comes out.

tapatalk isn't installed yet

...and never will be again.

And there will NEVER be a supported tapatalk here. ever. It's gone. Poof.

New site is web-responsive and Greg/Admin refuses to install a virus-ridden-security-flawed app like tapatalk.

...Tapatalk was the closest thing to serious malware I've ever allowed running on one of my computers.

* Their general business policies don't align with the needs and concerns of this site, and they regularly took new actions that weren't made to serve the interests of a site it was 'helping'.

* Originally touted as something useful and innocent (it was originally), over time it became clear they were just charging us monthly for their server plugin for the right to build their business. Their desire to become a destination themselves led them to in essence compete with the sites they were supposedly helping.

* -Several Times- they changed account preferences (our account) to allow marketing back on to our members when I had it internationally turned it off. On the server side it moved from free to $5/month in order to prevent the advertising, if I recall correctly, but later that didn't make a difference anyway. [I would have been happy to pay them measurably more every month if their business model wasn't so evil, IMO.]

* They advertised directly competing sites (and god knows what else) to our members (and again charged us the monthly server fee for this privilege).

* A lack of software accountability and things we observed once gave me security concerns that kept me up at night

* They tried to allow their software to register users directly on our forums years ago, bypassing our security and processes.

* They deflected image uploads to their own servers without asking us. I didn't ask them to sell our users on using them for third party image hosting, and then to watermark the images so they would further advertise themselves on this site. Every single time they added a new 'feature', if I had the ability to turn it off it was added in a way for which its default setting hurt the board and its users. It was always about them.

* Of course, site metrics like Google Analytics were skewed because of this thing.

* It was one more thing to upgrade and maintain.

* more..
