Six30 Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 think the active topics option on old site was better than new set up... just sayin Quote
Old-codger Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 For one minute I thought i had landed on Facett##t with the layout and blue colour but I worked it out in the end and even managed to get logged in. Now my head hurts and I need a lay down. Well done you have all done very well, 1 Quote

Then faffed about saving a custom stream n now it’s two clicks to the equivalent of an active topics list so I’m happy. Edited November 18, 2020 by Slowlycatchymonkey 1 Quote
Guest Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 This software is very configurable and new top level menu links can be created to suit individual preferences. @Stu what did this "Active Topics" option display.......cos I never used it. Quote

Err active topics! ie topics that had something like 25 posts! I am trying to get my head around the software myself and when things change it just feels strange! lets give it time first then we can maybe have a feedback thread and see what we can do 1 Quote

There's an option to disable sidebars on mobile.......which is what I've done. But remember there's the app for mobile as well......and that's a gamechanger. Quote

rennie Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 just give it chance and get used to it for a bit! I don't think it's that bad Quote
Guest Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 8 minutes ago, Stu said: Yeah I need to get some imagery for the mobile app One thing to be aware of is the App needs to be approved before it's put live. And if you change anything on it afterwards (like images etc) then it needs to be re-approved.......and it's taken offline till that's done. So it's get it 100% right before submission. Quote

onesea Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 OK Clue on how I used old forum and can I do same again... I used to 1) View my posts (Ego Search as it was in search Bar ). 2) View Unread posts. That was it.... Are those buttons there still? 1 Quote

Unread content is a default search (known here as a stream) under the Active Topics drop down menu. You can then set up a custom stream to show your own posts. Threads (aka topics) you started can be found under the same drop down menu. Edited November 19, 2020 by learningtofly Quote
