Anyone having to login and recreate passwords? The first time was two days ago where I reset and subsequently made posts. Today I had to reset again, but this time also add a first and last name
Several members have had to do that - or even reset their password - to get things going (as) correctly (as they are).

You may also want to clear your browser cache.

I posted up an updated PHOTO TUTORIAL. It's not complete, but it's the two ways that I know work right now - so it'll patchwork until we figure a little more out.

I am having the same problem. But, if I open the message in a new tab it shows the whole page.

Are you saying that you don't get a preview of the opening few words of new, unread message - That entire messages are being shown?

Opening a message thread in a New Tab will show the whole PM thread for that message.

AllDodge Sent you a PM. We aren't getting email notifications, temporary I hope.

I'm just thinking back to the upgrade of about 3 years ago . . . this is so much better.

I don't think I'm getting notifications for threads now either. I was yesterday though, so maybe I'm wrong.

I get the message notification in the message box, all is good what that part.

Opening in a new window (didn't know that) should hopefully fix this issue

very minor but in one area of my profile it shows I have 33 subscriptions in another area shows 34. Maybe due to a deleted thread who knows.


I had thought i found where i could see threads i had posted on under my messages area but cannot seem to find them? That in flux? I noticed site was down yesterday.

totally agree and hopefully no upgrades needed for a bit. The last versions reminded me of Windows ME. That was a travesty. Only good thing is I was forced to learn a bunch about how a computer works until I finally put in a new OS.

Got to scroll up to the top of your profile page and on the right side of your profile banner there is a view public profile button. Click that and then scroll down the list of details in your profile and the Show all Posts, Show Started tooics and etc choices are shown. Choose show all posts.

yeah jb i found that (link was lost in the city scape pic) but that is not the same as what we used to have; showing updates when others post on a thread I've been involved.

I know what you're talking about ... can't find it as of yet. Right now the developer dudes have other fires to fight, but that's a tool I used a lot - so it's on my wish list too.

What we're missing is the link to "Recent Posts" which used to under our username. "Activity" in our profile is the replacement, just takes more clicking to find.

Might be a different "recent post" but there is "new post and Today's Post" under the Forum bar. Problem with that is it only shows up if you selected one of the forums or the ALL forum

good morning all, hope you have important things not falling off your body due to the cold. We sat around last night and played a nice fire scene on our 70" tv with a distant thunderstorm in the background on the Echo. Life is sure changing...



in regards to the above - on my tablet (which is still useless for replying to posts only good for reading) my evil google start page (tab) has a icon for me to hit to get to here as this is where I spend the main time when I logged into the site - and it is the page in question and it appears to be updating with new posts as normal. In other words - it works. Prob just lost in the shuffle somewhere for a easy click solution.

here is the gobblydy gook - i'm sure this is specific to my user ID but smart people here I'm sure can figure it out. Might be an easy win on next code push.

southkogs - i had a notice you quoted me in a thread and instead of going to it I accidentally dismissed it. It seemed to be prob one in the same subforum as this but one I do not recall posting in. Of course did it so fast cannot recall what it was but I went to your activity and didn't see where you had quoted me recently?


oh and BTW spell check seems to be working accross the board as well as no 'working' snags. Bueno.

I also had a book mark which took me straight to "Whats New", but with all the other trouble I changed it to the forum main page thinking this may help. Well it didn't and my whats new was working fine. So now I also see the same if I try to use the whats new link as a book mark, and it messes up.

Wish I would have left my book mark alone
