What's new and good about our new format?
Now we've had a bit of time and a few tweaks of the new format, I think it would be a good thing for those who are more adventurous and likely to explore what's on here that's new and good and post here for those of us like me who are a little less likely to go exploring!
I will admit I haven't been the type of person to explore all this site offered before, and so I'm trying to change my ways - here's a new thing I discovered that I like (or at least I've noticed it now!) I like that there is a label showing who started the original thread when they re-post something further down the line. If this feature was there before, I didn't see it. I like to see it as it helps me keep track of who started things (which helps my brain remember their original question/post) So, please add what you've discovered to help me and the other stick in the mud's out! |

It’s a little easier for me to understand and get my mind wrapped around an instruction. Thank you!

My favorite is the designation of the Original Poster/Thread Starter throughout the thread

I forgot [at least] one ...
Love the Quick Links. |
For me I love the picture thumbnails. I can see basically what is there and I have the expectation of opening the larger picture. Once I changed the editor a brand new world opened for me. I find it easy to navigate and I can do so much more than ever before.

Can you tell me what you mean when you said you "changed the editor"? What is that & how do you do it? If you don't like the results, can you get back to where you were before you changed the editor?
you are already using the editor she's talking about. to see the options, go to User CP. you have control over a lot of your own settings. |
What's good about the new format, is that the changes did not leave me in the dust. I am totally and completely computer/technology/phone illiterate. I accessed the board from a computer. I signed on, and looked at the forums. I mastered posting, and replying, and even posted a picture now and then. With the new changes/format, I still have been able to keep up! Reading through PatriceJ's posts have helped, and I have diligently read through many other posts. I'm slowly checking things out, and exploring.

Forums Drop-Down List ... I can zip around between sections without having to go back to the Home Page

I found this when I was looking for something else this morning (story of my life, lol)
It gives a bit of a legend to what the different symbols mean. I knew a few of them like the locked symbol but there are a few new to me ones as well. |
Looking for an answer please if anyone can help....
In the past, when I would look at a thread, it's colour went from bold to regular type. When I returned to the board another day, it would still have the lighter type so I would know I'd already read it. Now the thread changes colour once I've opened it and then returned to the main page but when I leave the board and come back all the threads are a bold colour again.... I know I can use the quick link button to "mark all forums read" but then I don't get the bold vs regular typeface when I come back.... does this make sense what I'm saying? If so, does anyone have an answer for me? I can adjust the settings if I only knew what to adjust! |
I'm thinking that it will be bold again when you sign on again, if there have been new posts to that thread. Also I think there might be a difference in "New Posts" in the black bar and the one lower down There is also a "Today's Posts" in the "Quick Links" drop down arrow.

Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do. I'm still experimenting to figure things out, but I'm finding I like the new format ok now I've adjusted to it and the recent update changes really helped with the visibility issues from the initial change in format. |
