There are many changes in the way our Forum can be viewed with this new version. Here are some tips that we are finding that you may want to put to good use.
You can view the Forum from the Blue Forums button. Or you can move your mouse and click on Latest Activity. If you do that, you will see two different ways of viewing the Forum, with different layouts. What John and I have found is, depending on which option you may chose, it can and has changed the settings of our User ID from what we did have them set as, to different settings than what we wanted them set as... John in particular, has been bugged by this all a long, and I have to while we experiment with different settings for our User ID's. Our new VB seems to have a lot of additional ways to look at things, and they are not always what we are used to.
What seems to work for me is to stay in one View, that of the Blue Forums. I stopped using Latest Activity, because I can see anything I want to in FORUMS without having to click on Latest Activity or over on the right Latest Topics. As I have mentioned in a previous ACTIVITY post, FORUMS shows you the latest activity in a Thread/Forum, with a Blue "Thought" Bubble lit up. When you click on the link for that sub-Forum, it shows you every Thread in it AND IF there is a new Post you have not viewed, the little Page Icon next to it will be lit Blue, along with the title of that Post! Until AFTER you read it, and then the Blue goes away, indicating a read has been done.
Dave, John and I continue to explore, adjust, and sometimes puzzle over what all we are seeing, but we are working on it constantly, and as we find things we believe need to be adjusted we will let you know here.
Remember to click on the ACTIVITIES button on a regular basis to review what is being posted in it regarding fixes or changes to the way of viewing this FORUM.

by YellowRoseIf you are a Paid Member, there are 3 ways of uploading photos directly onto our Server. Here is how you do it.
In the course of a discussion that Dave ~ simplyconnected and I were having tonight, I discovered something that I did not know about. You will notice that Dave often puts text in his posts, followed by an photo or photo's of what he is talking about. Followed, perhaps by more comments and more photos.
We were discussing the various ways of uploading photos to...-

by YellowRoseDave and I just moved the Technical Resource Library link from where we had it on the Forum into the Green bar above the Forums. It is now located just to the left of Donate To Site, making it quickly accessible. It will take you right to the TRL. Secondly, if you want to see everyone's signature elements and pix, then select POSTS instead of Latest Activity. The latter does not show you the signature elements of each users posts. By using POSTS you can see and click on the TRL link in my and John...

by YellowRoseA few days (2-3) before your Paid Membership is about to expire the System is supposed to generate an automatic email to the email address that you joined the Forum with to remind you that your Paid Membership is about to expire. IF someone has changed email addresses and NOT changed that email address in their user id, then the System will send that email to an address that is no longer used and no one will see it. Unless they go back and check that old email address. If you wish to continue your...

by YellowRoseWhen viewing the Advertisement Forum our vBulletin software now seems to revert it from the format we used to view it as. It now shows it as: Time - All Time, Show - All, Sort By - Date - last update, and order - Descending.
To change that, click on the Filter drop down and change only Sort By to - Title, and Order from Descending to Ascending. As you click on Title, it will re-sort it quickly and then after clicking on Ascending, it will resort it again and put it all in the alphabetical...-

by YellowRoseI see that many of you have never gotten around to selecting an Avatar for your User ID. You should be able to do so by clicking on your User Id. Down at the bottom of it, you should see the Edit Settings button. Clicking on it should take you to the ability to select an Avatar. There are a good number of Canned Avatar's to select. Pick one and install it and you should be able to see your new Avatar instead of that grayed out blank. If you have a Canned Avatar or a Custom Avatar you want to use,...
