Also, is there a link to “new posts since I last logged in” like on the old board?
I guess it is the “While You Were Away” link?
"While You Were Away" doesn't seem to be working.
And I so agree about the dates.
I think we have to log out for a while, then come back and click on it. New posts will show up then. Where did you embed a video? What thread?

Notifications not are working.

I will miss the old Maccaboard, but appreciate that Paul & MPL are providing a gathering place for us. It'll just be trial and error for a while as we get used to the new surroundings
Don't see the "quote" or "img" buttons... are we not able to use the old codes anymore, even if we type them in manually?
also, how can someone become an invisible user?... I don't see any options for that in the preferences or settings... Not that I need to be invisible, but sometimes I log in to the board and read or post, then do other things, but don't want to have to keep logging in... for some reason it's kind of embarrassing that people can see that I'm still logged in after three hours even if I'm off the maccaboard or computer and doing other things, lol
Nice to see everyone's that's made it back
The quote button is below your post on the left. I don’t know what you mean by img button. And where did you find the emojis? Did you use your own or are they here somewhere? That was from my iPad keyboard.
Yes, I discovered the quote button after typing that, thanks.
To find emojis, go to the happy face next to "Styles" as you're typing. A huge group of emoticons will show up that you can choose from.. whichever one you click on will appear wherever your cursor is...
On the old maccaboard there were buttons "Image" or "Img" as well as "Link" and "Quote"... if a person didn't want to click on those buttons they could manually type in the code [quote] put text here [/unquote]
or [img] link for image here [/image]
Doesn't like there's a "preview" option before posting anymore, but things can always be edited.
Says you can edit for 30 minutes. Thanks, I found the emojis. Ha! I never used the Img or Link buttons I guess!

I embedded a Paul video in Post Anything You Want.

Do they send you an email? I turned mine off. What about PMs? Where are they?

Understand what you're saying, Oobu. The faq page said to go to profile to be invisible, but there's no tab called profile anymore, and the other tabs (under person icon at top right) don't have an invisible option.
That's why I was confused and thought maybe an admin could help.
But you can change your hobbies & interests and other personal info (fun facts/whatever) under those tabs.

Under which section/forum?

That Talk More Talk section is all goofed up. I had to "Search" for the thread I was looking for. That happened earlier too. And now it seems my video is missing?

Nancy, click on the envelope icon at top right... it takes you to your inbox for private messages... there's a "Saved Messages" and "Archived Messages" option above.

Yes they used to send emails. PMs are up at top...in an envelope. That's a whole different problem wih those.

Search is under the magnifying glass up at top. I know I had to cut & paste the link.
It seems LESS info is available on the 1st page of the site. Like who started the thread & who posted last.

Will log out now and come back around 11 pm EST.

I meant to say they are NOT working. But something is now showing up in my Dashboard referring to people that answered my posts.
-
Whoa, this is different!
-
I dislike not having the drop-down menu at the bottom to easily navigate from one forum to another. So far, I'd rate it as not an improvement.
-
The “while you were away” is not working for me. I just want to see what has been posted since the last time I logged in!! What a hassle to have to search through each forum for new posts, and then the threads are not even in chronological order! 🤬

Nothing is there when I click on Dashboard, but I have Notifications turned off.

Whoa...wha' happened? Just logged in to the "new"site. It will definitely take time to get used to....I don't adjust to changes well as I age. (I dislike the new emojis)
Having issues....
#1 How can a sort posts threads within a subject? Such as, if I click on "Rock Show" I want to sort the threads according to newest posts. I go to sort by newest, and it doesn't work. I see threads that have been posted 2 hours ago below threads that were posted to days/weeks ago.
#2 How can I choose to be invisible even though I am signed in?
#3 Clinking on links within posts not functioning.

And it doesn't even save your chronological order the next time to go to that forum.
My dashboard shows responses that were made to my posts that I already saw. (from this thread)
I had a message from Anita (not a pm) and I have no idea what she was referring to. (I can guess which post was a duplicate but it should have showed.)
Agree with Lady Madonna & Bruce up thread. And I think this site is not quite ready for prime time. "LIKE" those posts. A thumbs up (well known Macca gesture) would have been a great addition.
