Patrice, I absolutely love your right-to-the point comments. No need to sugar coat anything. I'm sorry that even you didn't know about the changes. I read every comment here before commenting myself. You've done a tremendous amount of work combining things and trying to answer repeated questions. Thank you for that.

new plug-ins?

Our tech team is working on regaining as much of the previous functionality as possible, however, due to limited resources, it will be an ongoing process over the next few months." I am not young, and since I no longer use my computer for my business (retired) I do not want to change my operating system and lose some functionality for old files. I realize technology moves on but it should not just write off groups of people, or make them spend money they may not have...I am Mac based so I understand I may face challenges others do not, with a PC. |

does it stay bold if you refresh the "New Posts" page?
Patrice, I tried a few tests and this is what I'm finding. If I click on New Posts (which is what I usually do when I'm on the board), none of the threads I previously opened and read are unbolded (showing as "read"). If I go directly to a specific forum, some of the previous read threads are unbolded but many are not. I've read everything I can find on here and gone to the User CP to see if I can change something to resolve this problem and not add to your long list of issues, but can't find anything. Hang in there. It can only get better from here. :-) |
How do I post a new thread to ask other members a question?

Is this the new format? Thought I had stumbled on another part of the site.I don't like change...pretty set in my ways!

Does this mean I have to upgrade or add something that may cause problems?

For those of us not living it technology loaded areas - please do not change this. I am sure that I am not the only one who has had problems like this. If you go back to the previous way - please - limit the size of uploaded images. |
I guess this new format is using a more secure site or something because it keeps booting me out and I have to sign in when I navigate around. Also, everything is piled up on the left with lots of open space on the right. I liked it better with a wider view. I can't quite decide if it's the font, the colour scheme, or what but this is much harder to read.
Please know, I am okay with change if it makes things better. Waiting for the improvements to show up. What kinds of things can we expect that are better with this new format? |
