The forum has changed!

[Catrin]

Wow - when the message said that the forum was down for maintenance it certainly was correct

It is good to mix things up from time to time, and I like the new look!

[Owlie]

I'm still in "WHERE IS EVERYTHING? AUGGGH!" mode. Give me two or three days.

Also, 90 seconds between posts? I get the spam prevention thing, but given that I type pretty quickly...

I like the look of the forums. Hope it has more features. Maybe admin. can let us know what are new features...I haven't looked around enough yet.

Yes, we've jumped a couple of generations ahead -- from version 3.8 to version 4.2 (skipping 4.0, 4.1). I'm still working out the kinks and am open to suggestions on styling/colorscheme.

As for the 90 second limit, it was 60 seconds, but the spammers have been hammering us hard lately so we are playing with settings to see if we can slow them down.

[Tri Girl]

I like it... but with any change- it's going to take some time to get used to.

[OakLeaf]

Yeah ... maybe with more dinner and less beer I'd have found my way back to the threaded view by now, but I can't find it. And when I do find it, I still hate having to change a bookmark to get to the same(-ish) page that my bookmark used to take me to. I get you need to update the software periodically, but a FAQ for chronic users might be helpful, especially if that FAQ is somewhere I could find it...

¡Ay, caramba!

It's good I don't do any hallucinogenic drugs. Otherwise, I thought something bizarre happened to the forum since it took me to "what's new?" instead of forum.

OY VEY!! I'll get over it.

Hi Oakleaf,

I believe you switch to threaded view by:

click on SETTINGS (upper right-hand corner of page)
then My Settings > My Account > General Settings
then scroll down awhile to "Thread Display Options"
then select "Threaded" from Thread Display Mode.

I don't think you'll need to change your bookmark...

Arrrrrgh, change, change, arrrrgh. Make it go away . Quick, more coffee. Ahhhh, somewhat better.

Can we make the board pink? Just kidding. Thanks for all the work you do maintaining the board.

I am still trying to figure out where the other parts of the forum are - gotta be there somewhere I like the new color scheme! Thanks to the Jim and the administrators for all of the work and effort put into this site, you are all awesome!

Is the drop down menu at the bottom the only way to access the forums other than General Discussion? I am probably looking right at it...going to go and clean my glasses

Go to the top of the page. Click on "Forum." It's next to "what's new".

Go to the top of the page. Click on "Forum." It's next to "New Posts."

I found it right before you posted. I must have accidently clicked on the wrong button - it's been a long day

[Koronin]

It'll take some getting used to.

I access the forum through Tapatalk app on my phone. Now I'm going to have to check it out via the computer.

[OakLeaf]

Ack. I still can't get it to show me the view I used to get (threaded at the top levels, sequential when you get down to the posts). Don't like. And now it looks all different!
