The new forum format Q&A

[buellxb]

Every time I exit the page and then bring it up again, it logs me out and makes me set a new password... lol

Use the 'Remember Me' checkbox, just below the login name field. It is not easy to see it, as the logo background blocks it a little (I will fix it later):

I also am mainly on my phone when on the site but I went to the bottom and selected the full site option so I see the same thing regardless of the device I use.

There is a selection box at the bottom left that allows you to switch the style (Mobile or Full). Once you set it it will remember it between devices. Just switch to Mobile to exit full.

I am ok with new format. Just bring back the section where you can see what others are posting in different categories. Like it was at the end of the old Web site. I enjoyed seeing what other were talking about. It looks like in this fomat I would have to open each category to see what others are talking about. I might not understand this format yet.

Try using the 'What's New?' tab at the top left menu. I will also try to bring this information to the main page so no extra click is required

It really needs a new post tab on the mobile view.

Once you select a forum where you want to post, there is a 'New Thread' button (at the top and bottom of the thread listing).

If you want to reply to an existing thread, select the thread, and click on the 'Reply to Thread' button.

Youtube videos I uploaded a long time ago are no longer functional.

The whats new button shows each individual post so if a thread is blowing up you will only see that thread. It should show just the threads that have recent posts.

Use the 'New Posts' link instead (just below the What's New tab)

Can you PM me with a link to the thread/post where it is not working? Thanks!

 

[GregoXB]

I just fixed one....

New format is taking a bit to get used to but I think its change in the right direction.

How did you guys get Icons to show in your posts?

 

[buellxb]

Rep points are gone?
Gah!?

I just added the Reputation system. Please click the Star icon below username to add reputation points. Unfortunately old reputation points could not be transferred. We all have to restart from the same level again.

 

[Gloomshadow]

how did you guys get your profile Icon to appear alongside your posts? I have a profile pic but it just stays on my profile..

 

[Gloomshadow]

Oh I see "edit Avatar" ... cool

 

[buellxb]

Yeah, title says it. Im all about change if it makes things better, but this is lame.
Ill still be checking in and posting and helping if i can, but meh

Theycallmecrash - I hope you don't mind I renamed the thread title (previous title 'it sucks'), as it now contains lots of useful information and questions from other members.

Vbuellitin is 500% better than what we were running, give them sometime to get things moving. Much more secure and endless possibilitys. If its not to hard you should add an arcade in lol. Thank you for your hard work

^^ Haha - yeah, there's generally only so much room for PMs. At least here, they are much better organized!

Quite a few forums I am on use this format. Search functionality, etc loads better. Just not liking the header design...
