I REALLY miss the "New Posts" link at the top/right of the pages...Cry




Forum Jump works now.

I'm going to change the 24 Hours page to be configurable up to 7 days. Patience, my pet.

I check that box everytime I log in and it doesn't make any difference, still have to log on everytime I enter site. Worked fine with the old software.


You need to make sure cookies are allowed for C3VR.com 
If they are, you may want to delete them and try again.
Lately, you can try clearing your cache.

The one problem i have noticed the past day or two, if you haven't been to the site for a while, then come back via an email notice about a forum post, it will bring you to the post, and (if you had checked the Log me in automatically box) it will show you as logged in at the top left, yet the forum post will think you are not logged in and your REPLY buttons will take you to the Membership Comparison.   If this is what you are experiencing, then I know about it.  And I have to fix it.

Thanks for your patience, all!

Made it much easier to get to the topics you are interested in. I see there is a box to check at the bottom when you are posting to that topic but not on the initial post....


There is a "Notify me by email if replies are made to this message" check box on both an original message form and the reply message form.  This is great if you are actually participating in the thread as the original poster or a replier, but not so good if you just want to follow it. I will add a watch feature for those that just want to follow. I'll let you know when it's ready. Not sure when that will be.

Thanks!

Hmmm... how do you reply without quoting the previous post.  Also, I don't see a preview when I hover my mouse pointer over a thread.

Gary, in certain forums, such as this one(Official News and Information), there is no "normal" reply button. All of the other "regular" forums will have one. Big smile

I'm having trouble navigating as well. THIS old dog is having trouble learning the tricks!  Why do I keep copying the last reply?

Back up a bit and you will see I asked the same question.....if the thread is from a moderator or administrator you will only have the option to reply on the left side quote button.

You can always delete any of the quoted part in your reply that you don't want, like I just did. This way it only shows what YOU said, not everyone else before you.

You can also just delete the entire quote if you want to.

I'm going to put a separate button in to reply without quoting ASAP.
