Forum Software Upgraded

Maybe CAN will get Trophy Points for staying under 50000 posts. Lol

One thing I have noticed is the forum is no longer a closed forum. It used to be if I was not logged in, I could not view forum posts. Now anyone can--members or not--without being logged in.

Kind of like running through a public park, nekkid.

Agree with Lee. Maybe a thick line or colored bar or something.

I do like the "like" button which I asked about some time ago. Kind of like Facebook. And the avatar pictures are larger.

Still, I think Wayne should set my post count back to zero so people will leave me alone (Howard).

Edit: WTH... ? Lee from LA had a post right above this one and now I don't see it.

Edit 2.0... Now I see. Lee's post was on the previous page and I was posting this from Page 2. This new version needs shorter reply boxes and more posts per page.

Is there a way to turn off the automatic emails when you get an alert? I kind of like the alert thing when I first visit the home page but I don't want to get an email every time someone quotes me, or posts in a thread that I started, etc. In looking through the settings I just saw how to turn the alerts on and off, nothing about emails for those alerts.

Also, the default avatars are.... well I guess I need to upload someone there, even if it's just a white box.

The email thing is in "Watched Forums."

I have a hard time seeing where 1 post ends and another begins.
A different color scheme or skin might help.
My Avatar and login transferred fine, maybe I need to look closer at my screen.

I will be working up an alternate color scheme soon.

As with any change I find it awkward but will learn to make it work. Not sure how to determine new posts, posts I have read, etc. Navigation is strange and I haven't found how to edit or delete a post.

How do you get the most recent posts to the top of the page?

New posts: Link called "new posts" on menu bar
Edit a post: "edit" link at the bottom of the post. You have 24 hours to edit a post then it is not editable.
Delete a post: Users can not delete posts (same setting as before)
Mark forums read: "mark forums read" link on the menu bar when viewing a forum.

Anything else, please ask!
