oletimer Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 It seems like the older I get, the more changes are harder for me to make. We are all "creatures of habit" I think, but many times the changes are an improvement. I have now noticed all the Escapees forum pages have a different display, so I have either been hacked, or missed out some how. I not complaining, just wondering which? A little off topic I know, but the HDT forum is where I usually go. Is the different look correct?

Bob86ZZ4 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Just found the search box up there on the right. I sure don't think it was there at first though. Oh well, glad it's back. I'm sure these "improvements" were made by somebody that knows a lot more about forums than me so I'll support the change. There must be good reasons for it.

LindaH Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I don't like the new format. First, the "Announcements" seem to be at the tope of each page requiring one to scroll down before being able to read anything. Second, the "Read New Content" button has disappeared, being replaced by "Unread Content." There are lots of threads I don't read because they are of no interest to me, so I don't really want those threads to continue to come up just because I haven't read them.

Buscrusher Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 It happened this morning. I went to log in and it said things were being "updated". I have mixed feelings about the layout...It seems to have its pluses and minuses. Since I don't expect to have a voice in the admin of things I expect I'll just have to work with it and deal with the charges...

Trainer Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 How do you see the new posts to the forum? How do you get notified of new posts to a thread? I just noticed a follow button the the far right at the top of the thread. Trainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Greg Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 This sucks. The forum was great and easy to use, now this! I could see all my unread topics on 1 or 2 pages now that's not the case and I'm still fumbling around trying to figure out this surprise change. Old farts don't like changes!

(oletimer) To change your display name : find your handle ( name ) at the top right of any page and click the little down arrow ; click Account Settings ; on the next page under Settings , Overview , click Display Name . A new page comes up with a box that you can type in what ever name you want . Press Save . That will immediately change the name we see on the forum , past , present and future .

Chad Heiser Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm not a big fan so far either. Also, my forum name reverted back to my original one for some reason. I was able to figure out how to change it back. I am really not a fan of the "unread content" vs the old "new content" search in the previous version. Also, it looks like everyone's signatures are gone. 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buscrusher Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 One thing I really did like about the way the previous format worked is that when I came back to catch up on reading, it remembered where I left off, and jumped there.

Anyway to go back to the old format? Me too. I've probably participated in over 100 forums in the past 15 years. This is the worst format I've ever encountered, not intuitive at all. I got lost just trying to read post since my last visit. And, when I go back to the previous page, it's a whole new set of threads and texts. Everybody wanna hear the truth, but everybody tell a lie.
