Since a lot of members have the same question I'll update this post with the items that are planned or added.

1. We will bring a simple my home link back so you won't need two clicks to get there. Give me a couple of days to do that.

2. Number of posts per page will be added.

3. Tractor listed below username info with posts. We had some formatting issues with this so we had to put it on hold.


4. If possible we'll add the old TBN smiley faces back.

5. Broken inline images are related to the changeover time from one server to the other so this needs a couple of days to resolve.

6. Dark mode

7. Hide forums

8. OP indicator

9. Inbox folders

10. Attachment manager

11. My Home folders


12. Forum jump

Will add more to this list and you can make requests in reply to this thread.

Ability to 'Hide' entire forums. Sort of the opposite of Watched forums.

Unfence the Front Porch. Make it a normal forum.

Titles of threads you've read in normal font. Unread would be Bold with the yellow icon.

Dump the 'Attaboy' slap on the back thingy. (Good post, good doggy)

Move topic subtags (Price Check, Comparison, etc.) to the right of thread titles so they don't shift them.

Extend post edit time to 10 or 15 minutes before the edit flag is added.

I agree with Diggin It. This seems to be a common problem with all of the recent forum "upgrades".
There are approximately 75 forums here but I am only interested in a few of them. Sorting out the new posts from 75 forums is a PAIN!

Thank you, the new smilies faces are very impressive. 😊 Merging the old with the new would be even better! (y)

There appears to be a way to do that.
Go into a forum that you like to watch.
Up to the top right, you'll see a WATCH button.
Select it.
Repeat for the forums you like to WATCH.
Then you can go to the top of your page, and right next to the Watched menu is a little down arrow.
Push that arrow and select Watched Forums.

Give it a try. Takes some getting used to, but very useful. Let us know if it works for you.

Nope. That collects the ones you want in one place, but it doesn't remove the ones you don't from searches like 'New Posts' or 'Today's Posts'.

New Posts will show all new posts, just like the previous version.
Today's Posts will show all of the posts in the past day, just like the previous version.
Watched Forums will only show the forums you select to watch.

It would be nice to have the top Navigation Bar inside the forum page, just as it is inside a topic.

Specifically looking for this:
Forums > Community Forums >News/Feedback

Here it is inside a topic:

And missing inside a category forum:

New and Today's posts will show posts for all forums whether you watch them or not. Hiding forums suppresses all posts in those forums so they do not appear in either Today's or New Post searches.

It trims the search results down to just the forums you have not hidden.

Did we have that feature on the old software or is this a new feature request?

The new layout of the site looks nice. Can you make a dark mode theme or something to tame down the contrast of the site?

I see you are using XenForo. I can help walk you through this if you need help.

I'm still exploring the new format and trying to learn what it does. It's a little confusing because I'm so used to how it used to be, but overall, I think it's pretty good. Loading pictures is now very similar to how yahoo email is. It's a lot slower, but simple enough.

When I click on the "Watched" section, all the threads that I've commented on show up, but then it takes me to the first page instead of where I was last at. It's not a big deal to find where I was at before, but it is an extra step that I hope goes away.

Everything got set to unread in the move. Yes once you mark the forum read, you will start getting jumped to the newest unread post in a thread.

Someone (I think it was Aaron) in another thread mentioned you can fix that by hitting the Mark forums read link at the top of the page. Once you do that, only forums with new posts will show up on the Watched view.

Please do not change New posts. I have found many interesting posts in forums that I would not normally look at.

And thanks for making it easier to see what forum the post is in:

I'd like to see HTML links be allowed in our Signatures like it was in the old version. They're still in my Sig, but the links are broken.

Will get that updated.

How about now?

I'm browsing on my phone right now so signatures are hidden.

New. It's common in some forum packages, probably an add-on. Not sure if this one has it or not though.

Usually, there is a page in your Control Panel (My Home) that lists all forums with a check box beside them to enable/disable. Works sort of like the Ignore User feature.

Yeah I've seen the feature. I'll check into it.
