New Forum Assistance

[Ross]

Hey Ross - is there a way to get the posts to come up under each ones topic (EX announcement,symptoms,etc) like the old site ? I see the active topics thingy at the top but it seems like all the posts are just coming up randomly.

Then problems you are having with the 'Active Topics' may be to do with all the threads being moved over to the new site (so all have the same age if that makes sense).

New posts are signaled by the 'glowing' icon, next to the Topic on the main forum window. You may have noted a "Mark Forum Read" button at the bottom of the Topics List. When you press this, it will turn off all the 'glowing icons' until a new post is made within that topic.

If any of that made sense, then well done because I just read it back to myself and have established it's far to early for a Sunday.

EDITED TO ADD: There are 4 options of how to display the Threads and their respective Posts. This setting is in the User CP > Edit Options.

Here is a breakdown of what the 4 options do. Clicky!

Hope that is of some help.

There is a tick box under the login boxes saying remember me. Just tick that and it should work.

To get your avatar Rickards you go to your own profile by clicking CP user on the top left hand corner of the screen and then click edit avator and it will come up with all the choices that nic downloaded for you all.

Answer: Hi Jullip. The New and Old Forums were not as compatible as first thought, so the Subscriptions have unfortunately been lost in the transition. To subscribe to threads now, Click 'Thread Tools' above the initial Post. This will show you a drop down menu. Click 'Subscribe to Thread' then you are subscribed.

just woundering can i set a costom avatar??? and how would one do this if u can?

Answer: Currently you cannot upload you own custom Avartars. This is something which is being considered, but as I'm sure you are aware, on other sites this feature is abused. If there is an Avatar you would like, please mail it to nomorepanic@btinternet.com. (Avatar Size to be less than 120x120px). Obviously Nic is incredibly busy at the moment, so it may take a while for the Avatar to be in the list.

Hi DA,
Just like in the old forum, they will have to delete some messages before they can receive new ones. This is set at a level where users can enjoy a decent quantity of PM's, whilst still keeping the site running at optimum performance. I hope this helps.
