Welcome back

[Muhammad]

I just noticed the profile area of posts no longer list equipment the poster owns. I hope that returns.

Yes it will.

I see the page display is back at the bottom of the Forum page.

Now if we could just get emojis out of that triple drop down menu...

I see that viewing images is now inline; no more hitting the back button once you've viewed a photo. You can even zoom the image to full screen, then just hit the escape key to get back to reading the text. Very nice!

Are the docs for the Forum software available anywhere, like in a user manual format?

Good question and if not we do plan on making them.

No. Change is never good. Things should stay the way that they were back in 1992. I was 33 then and my body would do everything that I told it to.

Am I the only one who finds the "Quote" function doesn't work? Or perhaps I just don't know how to use it.

it was working before, doesn't seem to be anymore, although the reply button next to it does

First time trying to quote, let's see.

Are we no longer permitted to use URLs in our Signature Line? All the URLs in mine seem to be broken.

Personally, I hate the new format. It's telling me to buy a new computer because it doesn't like mine or sumpthin.

New post. Now I will edit the post

Edit, adding picture View attachment 688089

Still can’t add a picture in an edit.

 

[WM75Guy]

Test post

Edit - Did the insert image - drag & drop. That seems easy enough.

@Muhammad Is there a way to change how many post per page it shows? I'm sure it's right in front of my eyes.

Having marked everything as read, now I'm getting the same behavior as in the My Home feature of the past. That's gonna make life a lot simpler, and I'm feeling a lot better about this upgrade.

For many years I was helping an old Joomla based site that fell to pieces every time either PHP or Joomla updated. Young bloods moved it over to Wordpress, which obsoleted my ability to help, and I gratefully surrendered the reins. Hope these initial potholes/learning curve experiences smooth out quickly, and I'm looking forward to a brighter future.

If I could dream, I'd wish for a Watched dropdown that showed the threads with new content right in the dropdown. Now that would be slick.

Wow! I remember Joomla! I had forgotten it until you mentioned it. But what a blast from the past! Not many sites can say we've been around 20+ years. Glad to have you all with us for it! (Were we all really 20 years younger when we started this???)

Apparently, the new software is prying and poking around in my PC. What's up with that?

It's not implemented yet, but I've got it on the list.

Just like others, I got a lot done in my shop.

When someone posted a bunch of pictures back in the good ole days, I use to hold (ctrl) and left click to bring those pics to the top of my page to view, now the pic goes on the comment page and only one at a time, that's not an improvement it's anarchy.......

Screwing up a tried and true website is an "improvement"?
To quote Joseph Goebbels, "if you tell a lie big enough, and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it"

I never did get my head around how Joomla worked. Even bought and read the Nutshell book.

Hate to admit it, but I was 40 years younger when I started coding. Twenty years seems like a blink of an eye.

BTW, Ibrahim, Is it safe to assume you were in cahoots with Muhammad in pulling off the TBN migration? If so, thanks a million, and well done.

But don't be restin' on your laurels too long; all the edit tools (bold, emojis, etc.) look like they're disabled now.

What's so screwed up now? It's works pretty much like the old one, the layout is also similar.

"Watched" is just like the Subscribed threads or "My home" button, just a different name. Still the same functions.

Honestly, Mohammed and Ibrahim did such a good job on keeping this thing so similar to the old one.
