goodall_m1 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 "View New Content" seems to get you to the updated threads easily, but is there any easy way of getting to the unread posts on the thread without scrolling through the existing posts? I am thinking of the problem of viewing things like Clive's RC45 thread that went to over 75 pages .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loribear Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 the one thing i don't understand is this anonymous thing, why would anyone want to be secretive, you're either on or your not, it seems a strange thing to do, or maybe thats just me. lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Changes can be disconcerting, but now that I've found my way to the "past 24 hours" discussions page as my primary bookmark again, everything has slipped back into place. Lots of new useful features. Once it becomes familiar, the previous one will seem very restricted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w44nty Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 What is the Calender tab for, if it will not let you in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbird Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 What is the Calender tab for, if it will not let you in It works for me. I wonder if there is a permission thing that needs tweaking? I'll let Jonzo know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 What is the Calender tab for, if it will not let you in It works for me too, Steve. Gives a monthly calendar and member's birthdays ( if they've given them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaboater Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Can't help wondering why it says Warning Posts 0 under my avatar, and doesn't seem to appear on anyone else's. Is this good or bad I ask myself? Zero sounds good, has everyone else been bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandenjg Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Not very important but profile background customisation doesn't seem to work on my account. Otherwise everything seems great, i especially like being able to view forumites photos full screen and being able to flick between pics. On the old format i had to click, close, open next, repeat.

mbird Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Can't help wondering why it says Warning Posts 0 under my avatar, and doesn't seem to appear on anyone else's. Is this good or bad I ask myself? Zero sounds good, has everyone else been bad? Warning points are just a feature of the site, and one I don't suppose will ever be used. Moderators can see the warning points under everyone's posts, but from previous comments it sounds like members can only ever see their own points to avoid everyone else knowing if someone has been a naughty chap. I guess it is to provide an aide-memoire for moderators if the forum is operating a "3 strikes and you're out" type of policy. Bear in mind that this forum software is used by a large range of forums and therefore has a lot of features that aren't necessarily specific to the NBN.

ranworthbreeze Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I guess it will take us all some time to work out where things are and what the extra features do, but so far a good job.In the change over/update there seems to be a few posts appearing as current topics even though they have earlier dates in April.The Calandar doen't work for me, it just shows no new content?RegardsAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Calender tab doesn't work for me either As for the rest... it looks cleaner without all those colours though. Am finding it a lot of trouble trying to negotiate the site but maybe it'll become easier with time. (Doesn't take much to confuse me these days ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodall_m1 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Jonzo I tried to send a PM to Jonny today (click on user, click on send message etc) but got an error saying that he couldnt get any new messages... He recons that his mailbox is empty so there could be something else wrong in the system somewhere. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 OK we will have to look into the PM problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodall_m1 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Jonzo, Just tried it again and this time it seemed to be sent OK. May have just been a glitch.... Hopefully Jonny will be able to confirm that he got the test message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodall_m1 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Mailbox quotas are set to sensible levels, so that shouldn't be an issue. Can you and Jonny confirm that your mailboxes are not full? John err How do I do that on the new system? (I am sure that I am not the only one not to know how to see the mailbox level) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillR Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 hi martin to see your mail box level ......... click the envelope mail box icon then at the top of the box it will say........ "view all messages " .... click that then on the left you will see the number of messages next to...... "my conversations" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Do I have to have to be the only one with a section for Warning Points under their Avatar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Do I have to have to be the only one with a section for Warning Points under their Avatar? I would assume that it only appears that way because any "offenders" scores would only be visible to them, if the facility was ever used on here....

Hylander Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 To be honest I would rather it was not there at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillR Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 hi hylander if we were to give warning points for being naughty, it wouldent be fair if they couldent see them. at least if it can be seen by the person who gets them then they have a chance to comment to the mods if necessary. jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
