I just dont have the answers mate. Ive been here a couple of hours PLUS so far .... and I feel quite confused by it all.. as I said above I usually work from 'my content'....so far NOT having that means I cant see threads Ive been active on- so unless I dip into 'each' forum section and LOOK for threads Im responding in... well...Im stuffed..

On the main menu bar in the header, go over to "Activity Streams" and "My Activity Streams".

Everything you need to monitor the threads you've started or posted in is there.

I believe you can even create your own custom activity feeds to suit your own requirements.

That is my problem I do not seem to be able to delete the quote box, backspace takes me back a page, and the other delete button does nothing, I have just rebooted and cleared my cache, about to try again........

Click on the quote box so that it is selected, then press the "Delete" key on your keyboard.

I really like how attaching an image posts a full size pic instead of a clickable thumbnail!

Is there an issue with the login system?

I had to re-enter my username and pass again even though I selected 'remember me' this morning.

Edit: Scratch that. I see it's already listed on home page issues, and I'm actually still logged in when in the forums.

You use your current username now, and not your original name which the old system insisted was the one you still had to use, if that was what happened?

 

(I still get confused by the repositioning of teh Quote button, but as I said that's nothing anyone else need worry about.  )

Does ( still bring up the sunglasses emotimojicon?

[Space Commander Travis]

No, you replied as I was editing my previous post.

It's just a glitch on the home page, which was showing me as a guest. I was still logged in when I hit the forums

Nothing to see here!

So I notice the forums are different on Chrome versus IE (which I have to use at work)  On IE there is not a new content selection at the top of the page...there are hashmarks upper far right that are partly cut off at the edge of my browser. Gotta click on it (hard to do when most is cut off), select activity on the dropdown, then new/unread content. On Chrome the new content is an option at the top of the page like it has been

What version of IE are you using ?

[Vlawde]

10.0.35. I know it's not the latest version, but it's the one they want us to use at work

[Saru]

Old versions of IE are generally losing support on most websites these days, but with that said I'm not seeing any issues when using IE 11 or IE 10 mode within IE 11.

If I write your name like this>>> @freetoroam Did you get a notification?

I got the notification that you have quoted. Thats the same as before.

I do not mind the notifications, its the notifications on the status updates which are not necessary...imo.

Otherwise, all is ok, Just a few things moved about, a bit of shaking here and twerking there, it will get sorted.

You can turn off any notifications you don't want:

Scroll down and you can disable notifications about status updates if you don't want to receive them.

I have discovered the turning off status notifications, sorry, only discovered after my head started to twitch. Got it now.

I just clicked on the link and it will not allow me to turn off notifications unless I click on an email box.  

Here, if i click on the A notification when new content is posted, it does not turn off, unless I click on one of the other two. 

What if I do not want emails?

 

 

Method to use for content I follow automatically

• A notification when new content is posted
• One email per day with all new content from that day
• One email per week with all new content from that week

The two e-mail options at the top are for combining email notifications in to a daily or weekly digest.

For regular notifications pick 'A notification when new content is posted' and then set the notifications up from the options below.

One question I do have is that if you go to a thread under 'new content', it just goes to the beginning of the thread and not the first new post since you looked last time. Since some threads can get rather long this could be a little inconvenient.

You can click on the "last page" icon ( >> ) to skip to the last post of a thread.

While the carrots appear on my home computers they do not appear on my heavily messed with work computer (IE11).  Just an interesting note.   

 

Saru, when the forum calms down are you planning an update for the website?  BTW, definitely like the new forum look and functionality.

Actually yes, however it will likely be a while away yet though.
