Anthony I got an email. Hang in there, it will all come together! I remember when we switched over in 2007 (?) and it took us all a bit.

Looking forward to posting my ticker now!!

What do the icons mean on the left side? I have some guesses but want to know for sure: Scrolling script means a lot of activity on a thread, a star on the right corner of it means you've posted on that thread, red means you've read it, gray means you haven't??? Just guessing...

I used my bookmark which took me to the old forum. Saw there were no posts since Thursday. Clicked on Anthony's name, then view all posts by anthony. At the top of the list was the post directing me to this site.

This site requires a lotmore scrolling to read due to text size.

I just discovered that logging in in on one of these sites does not also log me in on the other.

Hopefully Anthony is doing a bit of traveling right now... perhaps his reply from another thread will clarify activity on the websites.

I just received a PM on the old site; nothing pertaining to it showed/shows up on the new site. And PMs in my Outbox here do not show up there; in other words private messages are not carrying over. :(

That is just someone using the old forum. There are actually two forums at the moment - this one the new, and the old. The databases are separate, the locations are separate, etc. But until I totally close/delete that installation, you may still get PMs there.
We are working on trying to put this forum back in the same location of the old one - bt for some reason it is not working...

Regarding the daily email - that is currently down. I do have some tweaking still to do. Stuck here in NC with a flight delay... :(

I was away without wifi and iPad. Checked on my phone and thought it odd there were no new posts. Finally saw the banner this morning saying it moved.

Never got an email. Figured it out from the old site. I think there was a button saying go to the new forum site.

It seems ok, however my biggest gripe/whine is that the font is frickin HUGE. It is about 2x the font size of the old board and it feels a bit like I am reading a book to my 4 year old :lol:

Is the font size user-configurable, or is this something that I will just have to live with?

Muhaha - I think it was mentioned before somewhere - at the very top of the page in the blue banner on the line of 'board index' at the far right is a small ^A^ - it will adjust the font.

I finally found the new forum today. I kept checking the old one and finally just saw the link directing me here. I'm having a hard time with the new format.
