Handy feature--I think I've posted maybe three 'posts' on here since the switch-over...and would you believe, the first post I posted was 'wrong'? Yikes--yeah. Bad start. Instead of directly clicking on 'ticketing system' to leave some info, I selected 'reply'...and proceeded to leave my info in the thread.

Anywho...totally randomly I tried to delete the post--thinking it would never work--and low and behold, gone! dance clap dance Cleared up a nice lil mess I had made...

Again, nice feature smile

Maybe I'm just dense and didn't see it in the old boards, but I discovered the "Active Topics" link for skimming through recent posts, and that's pretty handy!!!

There was something similar in the upper right hand corner which read "Today's Active Posts" or something like this. I like the view better in the upgrade and that it also includes Nfic (for those of us Nfic Readers) and can be set to longer time periods than 24 hours. I agree it's handy, especially so now that the links change color once you've read them. clap

My links aren't changing color. Is there a setting to check for this?

Meadowrose, in the above quote from Wendy, the embedded links should be Orange* until you click on them (I recommend clicking on "Known Issues Thread"), then it should turn Blue. It's most noticeable when you're looking at the "Active Topics" (seeing what's new). Once you've clicked on one of those it becomes underlined, as well as changes color. Test it out and see if it works for you.

*If these aren't Orange, I recommend you scrolling up until you find one that is. I know that Shayne has a link in the FDK for his Homecoming 12, you can use, too.

Good luck, and let us know if it works. smile1

It's changing color only while I am on the boards. As soon as I leave, it goes back to the original color.

I love the new way to follow a thread (just click on the Topic Options drop down menu at the top left hand side of the top most post and click on Add Topic To Your Watch List). It's so easy! And not just for the people initiating threads anymore. I also like that when you want to go directly to that thread, you can click on My Stuff, scroll down to Watch Lists and find the thread you're looking for easily. thumbsup

It does that to me, too, Meadowrose. I think that has to do with remembering cookies on what you've looked at and what you haven't. I erase all my cookies whenever I log out of the Internet, but while I'm on (which is mostly all day), I can see new posts at a glance.

I love the "ALL" option for viewing posts (like this one!) that have more than one page of replies. It's super handy to just have one page to scroll through. (Though it was confusing at first because it still says I'm on page "1 of x" instead of "viewing all" or something.)

How do you switch to "ALL" view?

Below the title of the thread for topics with more than one page there is a page icon followed by page numbers and the word all. If you click all you will see the posts all on the same page.

It took me a minute to find what you were talking about. I didn't realize you meant under the list of threads within a given forum. I thought you meant while already looking at a thread. Found it! Thanks. That will be helpful when looking for a particular quote.

It's not actually a cookie issue; it's a browser history issue. If your browser is set to delete the history when you close it, this would happen.

I bow to your expertise, Mrs. M. notworthy I, actually, think I have my browser to set to clear both history and cookies upon closure.

I just had to post that I love, love, love the new feature that lets us see how many times a thread has been looked at. I posted a story last night and am amazed at the number of hits it has received already. I knew that there were lurkers on the boards and that the number of people who read the stories was probably somewhat higher than the number who provided feedback, but I had had no idea just how different those numbers would be.

Joy,
Lynn

My topics aren't changing color after I read them. Should I change something? Is there some setting for this? It's very confusing and often I click on links that I've already read or miss new postings. help

I'm away from my main desktop computer and working off my laptop, so everything feels different. But for some reason, I can't figure out how to find my old Private Messages on the new boards without going through the link supplied in the email. Can someone be my brains for me by pointing out the way? Thanks.

I accidentally stumbled upon a new board feature. I updated my avatar on a different forum to look like this - and it seems I got the same avatar here without doing anything about it. (For the record, I was just trying to update my avatar when I found it already updated.) It's not exactly a big problem, but strange anyway.

Or do you people see me with a different avatar than the one I linked?
