Forum Update - We're back! Ask your questions here

[Janet H]

In the past days, we've been working to update the forum to a new software platform and we've been offline. Welcome back! The new forum software is powered by Xenforo and there are some new features and functions. We're still tweaking things so please be patient.

There are many new features and I encourage you to wander around, test things out and then visit your profile and do some updating. Please keep in mind that changes and adjustments are still being made and so views will become more refined over the next few days.

Update your profile:

• Consider uploading a new avatar (little pic next to your posts). The new site accommodates larger images and old avatars are looking a little tired. Avatars will automatically resize - choose a good one!
• Update your signature if needed
• Add a profile banner - larger image that displays on your profile page
• Review your signature - you may need to update it.

Mobile viewing
The site runs well on small screens. Try it out on the road, and use your regular login - no app required. Set a bookmark for the site on mobile for fast access and look for push notifications (coming soon) to stay up to date.

Thread marking:
The forum remembers what you have already read and will display new unread threads as bolded or when you click into an ongoing thread, takes you to unread content BUT: You may need to Mark a forum "read" for this to work correctly moving forward. The conversion could not "remember" what you have already seen and so initially all threads may appear as unread. To do this, open a forum and look for the link at the top of the list of threads to "Mark Read". Alternatively, use the 'Mark Forums Read' link at the top of the page to mark all.

There are many things still being tweaked and fiddled with and you will continue to see some changes but we wanted to get back online as soon as possible - thanks in advance for your patience.

Still under construction:
New Forum 101 Thread (how to navigate the board and configure accounts)
More items as they are discovered
Classifieds

Post up if you have questions - we're all learning

It looks like all the links to user photos in existing posts are broken, have you had a chance to look at those yet?

Where are the vintage plans that used to be linked at the top of the page?

These were hosted offsite and we are exploring ways to restore these.

Emogis in existing posts render as text bounded by ':'

I also notice that it no longer possible (or not obvious how) to edit previous posts. Will that be available?
Since the purpose of this forum is to share information, it should be possible to correct one's errors or add appropriate missing information.

It appears only posts made with the upgraded platform can be edited.

 

[Tom&Shelly]

I can edit the ones I've made since the migration. Not the ones before. Not a big deal for me, as long as old pictures will be displayed (eventually).

I like the new look. It's going to take this old fart a while to figure out how to navigate here. But I did find it easy to renew my avatar pic. I hope everything else is that easy. BTW, I like wild birds, so...

Looks great. I’m glad to see the new site is phone friendly!! I use Tapatalk to load photos. Its not connecting yet as far as I can tell.

 

[Paintsalot]

Thanks for your work on this!! So much nicer graphics!
The new site makes it much easier to add photos!! Yay!!
I also like how YouTube videos show up as a preview now instead of just a website address.
How do you delete a post? I see how to edit it, but I don’t see an option to delete.
I guess the most important thing will be bringing the old photos back, but I see someone already asked about that.

 

[Paintsalot]

I updated my avatar and signature- but signature is not showing up. Just fyi. I’m sure y’all will get all this worked out!


I’ve designed a couple of websites so I know how much work this can be!

 

[Tony Latham]

Thought I'd try posting a YouTube video.

Seems to work easily.

The Tapatalk app isn't compatible with the forum BUT it is mobile-friendly. Just open it on your device with a browser and you'll find all the expected functionality.

Hey, I'd encourage everyone to look at your account details. It's an opportunity to selectively display some details about yourself so they appear in your Posts. I added my Real FirstName as the Title under the Avatar and my Locations.

There is actually quite a bit you can enter about your Campers, Tow Rigs, etc..

 

[bdosborn-SMB]

Thanks for fixing the photo links on the existing threads!

[OP827]

I just found where My Post can be found - under Watched Threads. Thanks!

 

[QueticoBill]

Great change! Thank you!

I'm a bit of a technological dinosaur when it comes to smart phones and computers, but I was able to update my user info (including updating my current e-mail address, which had somehow reverted back to an outdated one), reestablish my old password and get logged in on my laptop. My phone is another story. It doesn't recognize me as a user, perhaps because my e-mail isn't being recognized. Does the forum keep you from logging in from your phone if you are already logged in on another device?
