Michelle Posted May 26, 2016 #277 Share Posted May 26, 2016 It will be nice when I can peruse the various conversations again, without going into each individual board . There are a lot of threads I don't comment in, and boards I usually don't get involved with, but I like seeing the current conversations. Now, when I click on "Activity" every comment someone makes looks like a duplicate thread. *sigh* I'm sure it will be worked out in a few days...hopefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted May 26, 2016 #278 Share Posted May 26, 2016 hello again. Just a couple further questions; 'View Content' still seems to take you to the beginning of a thread rather than the first unread post, and while you can jump to the last page that's not necessarily the first unread post, so then you may have to go back a page or two to find the blue line across the page that marks the first unread post. Is there a way of jumping directly to it? And on that subject, I've noticed that 'View unread Content' sometimes shows threads that I have posted in, along with ones that I haven't, but these won't appear in 'Content I've posted In' .

I like how it defaults, not to 2000 (like, that's so far in the future!), but to 1970. Are you using an IBM minicomputer, one of those with the tape reels that takes up a whole room? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted May 26, 2016 #281 Share Posted May 26, 2016 In other observations, adding images seems nice & easy now, you just have to select it and it comes up without you having to do any more. So for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epoch time You'll quite often see 01/01/1970 popping up. For example, if you've ever used BitTorrent, it comes up as the default date when adding new torrents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can filter the activity streams to only show topics - go to "unread content" and under "content types" check "topics". It is possible to set up the activity streams exactly as you like them and even save those settings afterwards. 3 hours ago, Otto von Pickelhaube said: 'View Content' still seems to take you to the beginning of a thread rather than the first unread post, Click the little blue circle in front of the title to jump to the first unread post. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted May 26, 2016 #284 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I tried searching, but didn't find anything. Question: Is there no longer going to be a top ten daily posters list to admire oneself on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have actually said the opposite - I've found that pages are loading quicker on the new forum that on the old one. The old forum had long delays due to database query issues which are all gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted May 26, 2016 #292 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) I must confess that I am now more liking the "desktop/laptop" revision. So, my apologies.

Space Commander Travis Posted May 26, 2016 #293 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I've been trying to reply in the "Stephen King Joins Hundreds of Authors In Blasting Trump" thread, but I get stuck with a box saying "8 hours ago, Farmer77 said:" which I can't get rid of, and which prevents me from replying to anything else, both when I try "New reply" and "Quote". It means that I can't reply in that thread, and that makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harte Posted May 26, 2016 #296 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I tried to re-upload the gif of my beating avatar but the site keeps telling me to crop it by dragging the "handles." I tried to just save it, and now I have no avatar. I went back and did it again, this time cropping it a little - same result. Harte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you can tell someone's online status by hovering over their name/picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
