Another Forum Update?

[Zack Miller]

The nice thing about getting older is that I’ve already forgotten what the prior platform was like.

I think it is very functional and I have found my smiley things so its all good. I actually like the adverts since they are tastefully done and on the odd occasion even convince me to part with a few coins. If it pays for the site and then I think it is an excellent all round proposition. I like it all and I heartily congratulation Kevin on PM 3.0 upgrade!

I’m going to have my 11 year old granddaughter to help me??‍

Looks fine to me. When the site made the big change over a year ago it was unusable to me. The current changeover looks great.

I’m not a “heavy tech” user and predominantly surf on my iPhone, but this does what I need.

 

[edger]

I concur, much greater loading speeds.

This site is one of the few I give a pass on the ad blocks, for the sake of pitching in, but the moving images blow.

Also, my erections are lasting more than four hours. Is Zenforo responsible? ?

Better go see your doctor, and don't get it caught in the steering wheel.

you may ban me for life.

Why do so many people ask to get banned? If you don't like it here, just stop visiting the site and leave.

It really is that simple. ?

The main thing I miss is a link to Forums at the top of the page, which I'd hit, and scroll down to read new messages.

Better still would be a link at the top direct to new messages!

I do wish we could all follow the new guidelines and be respectful.

You don't see Forums at the top? - that didn't change via my laptop.

 

[ssjones]

Ah, I see it is not there on my mobile.
Just set as your Favorite the "New Posts", then it will always point to that.

The update also seems to have removed the ability to reduce the font in signatures. Now I'm mistaking some guy's signatures with their posts' text. ?

 

[olkofri]

That's obnoxious. First of all, those ads pay for the running of this site, and secondly, all of the ads are relevant to what this site is about. It's not like you're seeing ads for Ashley HomeStore.

Does the site cash in when the ads are clicked on or does it when they're merely displayed?

If the latter I can see a rationale to have ads every 3 posts and as the bread sandwiching the reply box—means the site makes cash every time a page is displayed with full ads; but if the former... well, I'm NEVER gonna click on an ad taking me to SPC Europe because I will never buy from that site, ditto ads for used pipes sites. I would only click on ads when and where I might make a purchase. Normally, though, I use the links in the Sponsors list on the left side sidebar.

Where/how do you set 'Favorites"? I use Safari onna Mac.

Hmm, I wonder if browsers display differently?
I was using Firefox on my laptop, where the screen shot came from.

To set a favorite on my Android phone, using Chrome, you click the star symbol. I would assume Safari would have a similar feature? On Firefox, you also click the star symbol

I just tried on Edge and Chrome on my Windows 10 laptop, the same bar appears with Forums in black font.

First, I see the Forums submenu just fine on my android.

Second, 508 notifications? You are a popular guy Al!

How do you clear this now? Used to be all I had to do was click the notification bell and refresh. Now it just stays there.

There should be a small black circle in the bottom right of each notification, you can mark it as read by clicking the circle.

Mine clear as soon as I click the bell, same as before.

It’s all good to me. No complaints.
