New Forum Look - Post your issues here

[Kelly]

Up front: I like the new forum. There are some tweaks we need to make but we're getting there and we'll get there sooner rather than later. Ed Brown is close to the software so we have somebody in the club with a solid knowledge base for the program and willing to fix what needs fixing.

Ed, Joe and myself are the Administrators for the forum and ask for your patience as we move the new forum along in the right direction. With that, we also need your help. Please use this thread to help us identify any issues you are having in the event somebody else is having the same issue. This will help everyone see what the fix is given by an administrator and hopefully mitigate multiple threads in multiple places with members having the same issue.


Thanks!

I will attempt to make this more visible to people as so far, most people are figuring things out, But, we need this.
Thanks for putting this up Kelly.

What size should I make my profile picture so it will display properly? Thanks.

[Guest]

It gets resized, but I would recommend 80 pixels, 120, or 160 maximum- width or height.

I posted this in the "picture" thread that Chuck started, but I'll re-state it here:

Try this...

This is how I uploaded my avatar, hopefully that works for you...let us know if not.

The biggest problem I have is when people are kind enough to try to explain a lot of this they get a little to computer nerdy for some of us that don't live our lives around our computers. Like, what the hell is an avatar? I don't ever expect to be able to post pictures. I think I'm doing pretty good in just being able to post anything. I really appreciate you guys that work so hard to keep this Web going but please realize that some of us are computer illiterate so the simpler you explain things the better. Thanks man.

I was able to use this procedure to help me out, thanks Kelly!

[Capt Caveman]

How do I display the thread with the most recent post at the bottom?

[Kelly]

Nice work Capt!
As far as displaying the thread in an order that makes sense (most recent at the bottom) you can change that in the settings page, "general settings"...about half way down you'll see a drop-down menu about how to display the thread. Select "oldest at the top" and voila! Let me know if that doesn't work.

[Helmar]

I think the last post in the thread should be the first one you see.
I will put that down on my notes of stuff to fix.

[Kelly]

I think leaving it up to the individual is the best way to go. I prefer the last post to be, well, last. I like reading in an order that makes sense to me...like a book.

[Stan D]

When I read a book I do like to start at the beginning, but not every time I open it. I'd rather pick up where I left off. So, I would prefer to start with messages I haven't read yet. If it has to be the beginning or the end, I would rather it be then last one that I see first.

This is why the option for your own preference does exist under the general settings page. Opinions will vary along with preferences.
