To answer your questions on the congrats/thanks options. Hover over the like button, you have a lot more options even though one isn't expressly the congrats file.

I'm glad the albums are coming back, I like that feature. I kinda preferred the old format for the rest but I can learn to like the new one too I'm sure.

Once you get used to this new format I am pretty sure you will like it. One piece that I am excited for is the change that we were able to implement in the advertising. We are able to still meet obligations and spread them out a bit more though. Giant ad at the top gone, much more standard size banner will be in it's place.

I can't check my pm icon won't do anything when I tap it. I agree not many people like change, but so far I'm not impressed. Again though I'm not tech savy so I will try and get used to it.

What about a spot where you can click on a thread and it brings up all of the unread answers on that thread.

Now you have to click on the single new post and then scroll through the other answers to get to the first one.

Also there is a flag telling you that there are new post in a forum but when you click on that forum there is no indications that there are new threads other than on the far right telling you how long it has been since the last answer on that thread.

click the "whats new" header and it shows all the updated threads. Click a thread and you'll go right to where you left off.

click the "whats new" header and it shows all the updated threads. Click a thread and you'll go right to where you left off.

If you do this it will take you to the last post in the thread if you click on the first response. Then you have to backtrack up the thread to the first one that you haven't read. If there have been 20 post since you last read the thread this can become quite activating trying to find out what they are talking about.

Also if you read all the post in the "What's New" area they don't disappear as most read post do in this type of area. They just stay there until they either time out or you "Mark Forums Read"

There is also a difference between looking at the "What's New" and the link "New Post". Right now I am showing 10 post in the Whats New with 7 that I have not read or looked at. But if I go to the New Post it only shows 4 that I have not read, but if I look at 2 of them in the New Post and go back to it there are now only 2 post to read or look at but there are still 10 post in the What's New.

AAAAAAAAGH!!!! Even though I was a tech in the Marine Corps, that was over 40 years ago and some things have changed. (Just a little.) I don't like change either, and find that when I try to keep up to date it just sucks me in and I get really frustrated. However, I was able to update my avitar very easily by just going to my profile and downloading a new photo from my files.

If you click on the smile botton on your task bar on top of the reply your porsting, you have a very large selection of emoji's-along with other features including uploading pictures etc.

Are you on mobile or on desktop? Top right I see that I have two notifications and next to it is the PM. I haven't had any issues getting into mine, but will gladly help you trouble shoot.

Getting used to it- just wish there was a way to change background color on individual settings.

 

[ScottR]

FYI, we should have albums back up this week.

I guess I'm missing it.
How do I PM someone now?

Anything about having to read threads backwards where we can get to the first unread post without scrolling through all the other post that have been made?
