New site changes

[akflyer 1427]

Looks like some of you are getting your wish!  looks like we have much better features when you log in to show the new topics so you can filter them out alot easier!  This will take some getting used to, but I hope everyone finds it easier to use than the last version and that the improvements are worth it!

 

Thanks for being patient guys, we are all going to learn the new forum software together!

Cool!  Thanks Leni, this is easier!

+1.

Now to explore and learn the features.

Better when logging in w/ mobile device!

Us members should look at our avatars.  MIght need some rework...

[dholly 718]

Let us know if you figure out the crop option, I tried for a bit but can't get mine right. Thinking I may need to resize then download the new avatar and try again with that.

 

Also, when clicking View New Content > Topic > used to go directly to the first new post in the thread. Now it goes all the way back to the original first post in the thread. Can't seem to find a way to reset that as a preference?

Went with a different photo for now...

post something so I can try it out!

[Av8r3400 1179]

Something...  

[dholly 718]

Ok, I know I can manually click that 'Go To First New Post' icon but that's exactly what I trying to avoid (hey, I'm downright lazy about some things). I had it set in my preferences to automatically open the first new post when revisiting a thread and I would like to continue with that if possibe. Saves having to scroll all the way down the pages. It was one of the format things I really appreciated here vs. the TKF forum which did not offer an option for that preference. Looks like it might be lost here on the upgrade too.

Jeez!  Just click a different button to get there, you slug...

 

(our avatars look similar like the AK boys...)

Diggin the new site on a mobile! Posting from the 11th floor of my hotel overlooking Waikiki Beach in Oahu. Just finished up a 12 hr day of tours. Time to kick back with a beer and get ready to do it all again tomorrow. Taking a Catamaran over to the West side to dive with Dolphins in the morning.

Jeez you engineers are a tough crowd, normally takes a fuel oil and fertilizer bomb to get you guys to change your ways. Maybe we are not so different after all, eh?

 

Oh, and yes I will confess, I did deliberately change my avatar to look like yours just to annoy you in retaliation to eating all my friggin' lobster. There must be consequences for that selfishness, perhaps that is why your tail does sit a bit lower than mine.   

[Av8r3400 1179]

Just ate the last of the leftovers tonight...

[BryceKat 125]

Where's the view new content button? Bryce

[dholly 718]

I noticed there was no more automatic correct / spell check option when writing up your posts. Anyone find this, I seem to rely on this a lot more than I thought!?

hmmm, not sure.  I think I downloaded a plug in a long time ago on my laptop that was an internet spell checker.  I cant do that on the work computer so I cant really say for sure till I get back up to the room n look see at it on the laptop.
