I am glad you like it! I would also like to thank members who took their time last week to help with testing before the forum was transferred.

I can't figure out how to see my post or all the recent ones.

 

[ToneTheMoan]

for your posts check them in your profile under activity and for recent posts click the whats new button top left or the forum pages.

Well done
I came on today and I clicked the New Posts button.
OOOO how I missed simple features like that.
I looks forward to getting email notifications on subscribed threads now too

Thank You

Is there a signature setting?
I can't seem to find it in the profile.

Thanks

Just took a minute to look around really well. There was a minute ago when there was 146 people online and only 3-5 registered users. Any idea what the number of hits per day is? Dean, you able to see?

Also found interesting the stats of registered users vs 'active users' (what qualifies as an active user?) 21K+ registed and 867 active.

Yeah well done to the crash test dummies too

you're welcome...the set up is similar to the other forum I'm a member of fz09.org, so it wasn't a complete shock...need a little more time to adjust to it, but all in all great job buellxb for modernizing the site:up:

The actual number of registered members is lower and stands at 12,600. Over 8000 accounts are scheduled for deletion (never posted, didn't login in a year). The 'active' indicates the number of members who logged in within the last 30 days.

quick question please. On the inbox on my profile page there is a place for received messages and a link to a sent message page. When I click on the sent messages it shows as empty even though I have sent several private messages. Am I not doing something right?

 

[buellxb]

Follow this link

http://www.buellxb.com/forum/profile.php?do=editoptions

or click on 'Settings' (at the top of the page), then 'General Settings' then look for 'Save a copy of sent messages...'

Once you change the option, click 'Save' at the bottom of the page.

 

[mrlogix]

thanks, but that leads me to another question of course. LOL.

When I clicked on settings it displayed the rep points that I had given to a couple of people. In parentheses was 'power XXXX and a numerical rating. What is that? Will the new forum also show us when and who gives/takes a rep point?

 

[heagachongoose]

On the deleting inactive members, will their posts remain or will they also be deleted?

 

[Sirius815]

Posts should remain.
