ChuckS Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Thanks, Brian. It is great to see the "Mark site read" button back on top! Just starting to explore the other options. Thanks again! Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 What are you guys talking about? Nothing is working as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjohn Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I agree and I also like the older version better and not a fan of the present format. However, must say Thank you to Brain for providing a forum for us to express our opinions. I do wish that the older version would be restored. Also, I created two threads in the bugs thread documenting features that have been omitted in this version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkreutz Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Initially I hated everything about the new format. As I've used it a bit, it's growing on me. maybe it's just that I got comfortable navigating the old format and don't like change. I'm learning the new format and it gets easier every time.

Zoomy Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Is there a reason such a radical change in format had to be implemented? I have been trying to play with features but can't seem to navigate like the old format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoomy Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Sorry for all the duplicate posts. When I hit "submit reply" my iPad appeared to not respond so I tried several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzw26n Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 sorry Brian, maybe my age and my lack of IT skills, but the new format sucks for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Actually, this new format seems like an updated version of the format that was used before the old format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my phone it reminds me of when you could click the full version button to get out of the mobile phone version. I'm hoping it's not what we are stuck with and the forums jumped into some kind of safe space mode lol. Definitely not mobile friendly. Won't scroll as I type, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dthomas1003 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 It does seem to be some crazy hybrid between a full and mobile version. It looks and functions terrible on my iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark R Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 How do you edit an existing post in this new edition? I need to replace a PDF I posted for the World Match and there is no edit capability in this new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark R Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Thanks, but on the posts since web site upgrade, I can edit, but not on any posts from before. Another issue I'm having is I have to reset my password everytime I try to logon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 When I tried to sign in it kept rejecting my username. I have always had to use my original user name to log in until now. For some reason I use current user name which was never possible before. And there is no feature available to go to the last post in a thread. Every time I click on a thread it goes to the original post only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark R Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Thanks Sarge...I just discovered that logon now requires screen user name, instead of the original account user name. So I used "Mark R" and logon now works correctly. As for earlier posts, I meant that any posts that I added before the web site upgrade have no "Edit" link on the posts. Any posts after the upgrade do have an edit feature. So I can edit this post, but not any from a month ago. Sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click/tap the time of the last post showing in the title line, you get scrolled to the that post. It works the same as the previous version of the forum s/w.

Wasn't sure it was 24 hours but there has always been a limit on the amount if time to edit a post. You can ask a mod to edit for you though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
