I just don't like it at all! I tried editing a post: didn't work. I also can't seem to log out! Where is that hidden? Very confusing all around.
Of course, as soon as I posted this, I finally found how to log off! Also, still getting the warning that the site isn't safe and log ins may be compromised. I would have thought they would fix that!
How about posting photos? Have they made that any easier? Can we copy and paste without having to go through a third-party site?
What do you mean by "log out"? Log out so that you need to log in everytime? I'd like to know how to prevent my user name from being listed...as mentioned in the FAQ.
"How do I prevent my username from appearing in the online user listings?
In your profile you will find an option Hide your online status; if you switch this on you'll only appear to board administrators or to yourself. You will be counted as a hidden user."
Is anyone (admin) even looking at this place & all the questions?
ALSO...the dashboard says someone replied to your post. What post? No link...no date...all are still there...can't deletee.

Oobu, don’t you log out every time when you’re done looking at the board? On the old board it would automatically log you out if you were inactive for a certain time (I think) Since “While you were away” is not working, I have been keeping track of the day and time I log out so I know whether to select 1 day or 2 days. I’m usually on here twice a day, so I just select 1 day and Newest on the forum topic, then 1 day and Oldest on the thread.

I'm having a problem where it's not logging me out. Yesterday, I looked at the forum here for a while then logged out before going to work, but when I got home 8 1/2 hours later, and opened up the board here, found I was still logged in (The mods & admins must think I have no job or life and just read the boards here all day ) Sometimes I do stay logged in when I'm at home, but am away doing other things.. it is embarrassing though.... somehow the "Log out" option doesn't work sometimes.
In answer to your previous post, Nancy, I don't think it logs us out for inactivity after a certain time, because of what happened to me. I also forgot to log out before going to sleep a few nights ago and found I was still logged in the next morning

No, I never have logged out. I just leave. Is my name always there? hahaha.
I guess we should use a few of Paul's phrases...Anybody Out There? We all need some guidance. And directions.

Well, I guess if you're logged in for 8 hours, no one would really know unless they're logged in that long too... or the admins would know of course...
Really wish there was a way to be invisible though.... if someone figures out how, please let us know... to avoid further embarrassment

I'm not embarrassed. I don't think your name stays there if you are not there. I wonder if anyone will ever answer any of our questions. Gosh...again...blind leading the blind!

Well, hopefully there will be a new set of FAQs or guidelines made soon, to go with the new board... the ones now correspond to what was in place at the old board, and many features are different. I'd be happy just to have that!

The English are dotty (LOL) and this new set up here sure proves it! But I always kind of liked that about the Brits. But if all my writings from 2007 on up are gone (except for the more recent posts) I won't like it in that case. I did like it that it appears all my p.m.'s I still had in there are still present. Although I've a feeling "mods" or certain ones and the Head Honcho Himself might be able to peek in there and read the p.m.'s. After all, that happens at facebook, my private messages get hacked and that's awful

So many fresh reports from rehearsals, soundchecks, Maccawatches and the actual gigs with newspaper headlines, magazine front covers and cities in full McCartney atmosphere, but so much effort to post in this situation...

Susy, you never answered my question from yesterday - do you know what forum your writings were in? Was it What You’re Doing or Talk More Talk? You can search through the threads in them. I did and found a bunch of Doris M’s writings.
Also, the Mods do not have access to our PMs, according to Triplets Love Paul. I don’t know about the Admin.

Your avatar is not there right now (nearly midnight Dec. 6th EST) and you say you never log off.
Sorry, meant to just quote LadyLeslie.

LadyLeslie, I just went back to home page and your avatar is there. Are you really here or just not logged off? It is now 12:03 am EST Dec. 7th.

Oobu, I was referring to LadyLeslie, but yours was not there either.

I discovered that if you select ANY and either Oldest or Newest first, the original post will show up first. But if you select 1 day, 7 days, etc. and Newest, the most recent post will be at the top. I would assume the OP would show up at the top if you selected Oldest. Constant experimentation, what fun!
ETA: If the OP was written say, 2 weeks ago and you select 7 days, it will not show up at the top. Only if you select 2 weeks or 1 month and Oldest.

I really have no words for how much worse this new version of the site is. As others have noted, useful features are gone. Navigation is more cumbersome and awkward. And the thing is buggy as hell.
If any of the admins are listening:
This is a failure. Scrap it, bring back the old interface temporarily while you take the time needed to make this one not be a living Hell for users, and relaunch the new version when it's not a freakin' disaster.

I couldn't agree more. As the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I just tried that by selecting 1 day & newest when I have already selected the thread & only 1 post showed up. Yes, the most recent but no other posts! This is just too much work to post here.
