(OT) Checking in

[PAHAG]

I'm on, but can't locate unread posts.

[bkeich]

On the front page you should see topics of "Categories", "New", "Unread" and "Top". Unread should have a count of unread posts.

You may need to go through Topics and click them over to "Normal" from "Muted" or "Tracked". You do this by opening the topic and on the right will be a circle next to the Reply (arrow to the upper left). Click on that circle and change to "Tracking". You can also set it to "Muted" if you dont want to read that topic.

OK, I'll bite (never let a softball go by...)... Were you used to the old site?

[Lawman]

So far, so good. Nothing I can't get used to given enough time.

[donaldorc]

Wondering if there is a quick way to return to the forum without having to scroll all the way back to the top.

[Phanatical]

I was unable to access the site because my email address was defunct. After emailing admins, I was sent a link that immediately reestablished my account.

I access PP.com via an iPad. I cannot figure out how to use the keypad shortcuts. Perhaps they only work for PC users (that have actual physical keyboards)? I can no longer logon via Tapatalk (error message says a plugin is missing). Access to the site using a browser seems to work fine though. Are there any recommendations for mobile users....best access to PP.com via browser, Tapatalk, other app?

[phillychuck]

I seem to remember this software doesn't work well (at all?) with Tapatalk. It's mobile-friendly, so any phone browser should be fine.

I'm here and slowly figuring things out.

How do you quote someone else's post within yours?

Looks like you have to highlight the post you want to quote and click on the quote mark that magically appears when you do that.

It should be in the little number next to the topic name. I post on a Discus website and this seems somewhat similar to that. I find the who posted part with the icons kind of distracting. Too much to look at.

Did this before I read the quote part, but it was meant to be an answer to the question of how do you find new posts.

[schillingfan]

My question is how do you get to other topics other than clicking the back button on your browser. Doesn't appear to have any buttons to push for next or previous topic.

[donaldorc]

I like being able to "like" a post without having to reply. Guess I'm too influenced by FB.

Click the 3 bars at the upper right next to your avatar to see if some of those options are what you are looking for.

I'm in. Didn't experience any problems, bt i have not put the board through the rounds. The new interface is a lot to get used to. It might be nice to have an announcement/tour of the new board to introduce us to all the new features and new organization.

See this site for an overview of the Discourse software.

Made it! Thanks for the help!

[Lucky_Beagle]

I made it last evening. I was a little trying as I couldn't remember which email I used for this site and thought it may have been an old out of date one. Thankfully I had updated it to the current one. I do not like the _ separating words in name. I thought I had an avatar previously, but maybe I didn't.

[zambonir]

Is there another member named LuckyBeagle (or maybe you have two profiles)?

I hope those who never had an avatar (I don't believe I did) opt to add one, I feel like the threads will be a little easier to navigate (especially when quoting) with fewer generic letter icons.

Looks like you have to highlight the post you want to quote and click on the quote mark that magically appears when you do that.

Also, another way to do it is after you hit reply, you see a little dialogue balloon at the top of the place where you post your reply, just to left of the bold and italic links.
