David Ashby - Moderator Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Well we made it, welcome. Take your time to have a good look around and get a feel for this forum platform. You'll see that all the 1m odd posts from the old platform have come across, photos as well. We still have some work to do here, things to put in place such as the new Events and Classifieds sections, so look out for these soon. You'll find the latest posts under 'unread content' or 'all activity'. You'll also have some questions I'm sure, so drop these below and we'll try and get to them as soon as we can. David. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 As I posted on the old site earlier, please play around and try to get used to the site before posting any negative comments - we will want to know of any real problems but working it out for yourself is often more productive than asking for a step by step guide.

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Last time I looked, we had 136 users on the site - probably all clicking and pressing like wild things. I have no idea of the capacity of the site but if it seems slow at any time it may just be the frantic activity so if it does seem to slow in these first few hours, I wouldn't get over excited...

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Have a good look at a few ways to find stuff. 1) The link/button top right that says something like "Unread Content". Once youve hit that then across the top are search options that you can change. Have a play. If you make a change you like you can save it as a "New Stream". If you like that enough, you can make it your default. That replaced the Unread Posts one. More can be done in streams under "My Activity Streams" 2)Searching - there are dropdowns to change the way searches work. e.g. hit "more options" and you'll see lots of options such as "members". Click that and the search will search for, er.. members. 3) There's so many places you can click. Click on an avatar and you'll go to that member's profile. In there you can soon see everything he's posted and sort the list as you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can change what it's showing, chose Images. That's the way to you old legacy photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
