As a moderator on another forum, thank you. New format is easier to use on my smart device. Can't stop notification on whats happened on forum emails however. Been through settings and can't make it stop.
Why We CHANGED the Forum Software
- Thread starter handejector
- Start date
I discovered I got a ton of notifications. Went back to my settings and found 2 sections related to emails.
First, under Settings/Account Details/Email Options (just below your email address). Uncheck the boxes.
Next under Preferences (you may already have been here). The email options are the same from the Accounts Detail page. Make sure they are still unchecked. Check/uncheck the rest as desired.
I could have sworn I had these disabled prior to the change over. With all those boxes unchecked, the flood has now stopped for me. I login here pretty much everyday so I'm fine with the online alerts.
I learned/coached by the best.Some of us never even noticed it!

Actually, the REAL reason why Lee changed it is so he can provide a list of possible characters for "Grumpy Old Men - the series". Watch for it on the Cartoon Network.

The only thing I have found sub-optimal is that the old software bolded the new postings so I could follow strings more easily and disregard older postings. I don't see the here, and the last update description is not nearly as eye grabbing.

Getting more used to it each visit.
Are you using the DARK theme? It is "bolded" but the contrast of the blue on the dark background doesn't stand out very well. I've switched back and forth from light to dark. It's more apparent on light but it's a bit too harsh for me.

Yes. The light mode was really uncomfortable to me, such as you describe.
Keep up the good work Lee & MODS! This place is still my go-to hangout for all things S&W ... I check several sub-forums a few times a month, this is my second post with the new software. Looks good, and I'll have to learn the 'new' features .... or be a curmudgeonous Luddite set in the old world ways
Thanks Lee and mods, and apologies to Ridley Scott

Thank God! The old forum format was TERRIBLE!!! It's why I rarely came here.
I had no problem navigating the old format but navigating this new format is like having a NOS tank strapped to my tablet.

I appreciate the change, but you need to add something to be able to limit the amount of emails. I would be nice to reduce it to once a week for a summary, not daily.

Interesting thing happened when I did my bookmarks to go the site a few minutes ago. I got a prompt that said "First we are checking to see if you are a human." Then it went to the home page. First time that has happened since the changeover.
Just turn off the emails you don't want. Listed in your profile, I think. I don't get any emails at all.
Guys, don't be afraid to look in your account (User CP on the old forum)! Click on your suer name in the upper right corner of the page and you will see a drop down menu:
If you click on Preferences, you will find where you can turn email notifications on/off:
There are many things YOU can do in this area to make things more to your liking!

Thanks for doing what you do here.
The new forum is great

I like the new format, took maybe 2 days to acclimate. Unfortunately on day 3 I guess I touched the 3rd rail, and let me tell you the "new banned" is total darkness, not even "read only." Lotsa time to "read the paper." Joe
I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but after clicking your user name like Tom described above, and when you get "Your Account/Bookmarks" screen, just click your name again and you will get a "Latest Activity/Postings/About" screen. Very handy!
