kbuhagiar Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hello all, Another feature I miss: In the old version, you could 'hover' the pointer/cursor over the topic heading and get the first few lines of the content (which would allow you to decide if you felt the post was worth reading or not, without clicking it and then having to back out). In the new version if you 'hover' the pointer/cursor over the topic heading, all you get now is a dialog box repeating the topic heading. Oh, well.

P15-D24 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 As you go through the thread list a small black down arrow appears to the right. Click on it will give you the first and last (most recent) post in the thread. Personally I'm loving that feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBNeal Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm still getting accustomed to manuevering through the new site, so maybe I'm missing how to find a few things. I had subscribed to over 50 threads that had various pieces of information on them I would use for reference (seatbelt installation, various PCV installations, etc.), but I cannot locate these subscribed threads. Also, I had several photo albums in my profile as I had trouble loading pics to the gallery, but I cannot locate these albums, the albums I had in the gallery, or the 'favorite' pics in the gallery I had collected either.

If you look at the urls for your subscribed threads it will have a thread ID and number. Search on that id number and you can resubscribe to it. Gallery pics have not yet been converted. Vendor is having trouble with the converter and is continuing to work on a fix. Hope to have it all done this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bewillie Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 GIve me a little more info about what you are trying to do? Hitting the browser "Back" button reloads the page from the server. Have you tried using the navigation hints at the top and bottom of each page. (Page 1 of 1 1 2 ) Well I know you already know that at 75 I am a slow learner from some of the questions I have ask you in the past. I haven't been able to get any place on the new fourm. I can't find todays post, If I do get on a post and want to go back to where I was before I went to the post (by hitting back button as I've always done) I go back to the beginning of the first page. How do I change my password? WOW Dumb Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 sent you a PM but just in case you did not get that due to problems with the new site navigation..you can call me if you wish and I will try to get you up to speed as best I can...

Don Coatney Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 When I complete reading a thread and I hit the VIEW NEW CONTENT hot button at the top of the page the thread I just read does not disappear. Also all attempts I have made to add a photo have failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbuhagiar Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I am getting email notifictions for EVERY new post on subscribed threads, as opposed to a single notification (as was on the old board). I changed my notification setting from 'Instant' to 'Offline' , but still get the multiple notifications. And what does the option for "Push Notifications" do? Thanks in advance for your time and trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Coggins Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Also all attempts I have made to add a photo have failed. Have you tried to copy the "Direct Link" from Photobucket, then click on the "Image" icon in the tool bar at the top of message composing area, and past the link into the popup window. The "Image" icon is just below and to the left of the "Smily" icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To confirm, VIEW NEW CONTENT does not take you back to the directory listing of new forum topics? Are you trying to upload as an attachment to the post? If yes have you checked your storage quota in your personal profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) To confirm, VIEW NEW CONTENT does not take you back to the directory listing of new forum topics? It does take me back to new topics. But it still shows all the topics I have just read. I would think that once I have read a thread it should disappear from the new topic list. I think I have the picture posting figurred out. Edited January 22, 2013 by Don Coatney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) I just bit the bullet and used the "Mark Community Read" button. This did show everything as being read as in not bold font. But using the "View New Content" button at the top of the page still displayed 180 threads when all have been read. I then did a power reset on my computer, re-started and brought the forum back up, used the view new content button and the 180 threads still were displayed. Once I have read everything should anything display when I use the view new content button? Nevermind! I just figurred it out. I adjusted the "BY TIME PERIOD" to "new sence my last visit" and all of the postings I have read all disappeared as they should.

mackster Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I dont get messages from any threads that I started....I am following the forum so i get messages as the thread is started but not when someone post on a thread I have posted on. HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
52b3b Joe Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 When using private messages, it keeps telling me the other person has left the conversation so I cannot reply and have to start a new message. Also, I am having problems uploading pictures. It says they are too large. I guess I'll have to figure out how to make them smaller pictures or insert them into the text area.

Plymouthy Adams Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) I am thinking if the other party deletes the conversation...the conversation is broken..new message generation will be the only way to establish new conversation..this seems to have been the case in one conversation after talking to the party on thye phone..
