Martin Harris - Moderator Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I think we'll all (well there's bound to be the odd exception) come to love it once we get used to it. It is very different but I suspect that in a week or two we'll be wondering how we ever put up with the old - but admittedly comfortably familiar - clunky site software.

Jonathan M Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 It seems to use the same software as the BARCS forum, which I'm already familiar with. No-one really likes change (I normally don't, and am something of a 'late-adopter' by nature!) but I'm sure people will very quickly get used to it.

Eric Robson Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 At my age I hate change but have managed to log on after being rejected. I have managed to load a picture much easier than before. What I have been unable to do is go back through the previous pages in the thread it will only display the first and last . W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickw Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) I have added my avatar, found all my old photos and created a new Album, BUT, is there any way to move or copy my old photos into a new album? Just trying to create some sort of structure/filing system for the old photos. Dick Edited February 10, 2021 by Dickw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwain Dibley. Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 go to profile , find "see my activity", on RHS, scroll down and on the left is images albums etc. D.D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Thanks Dwain - I should have been a little more specific but I was distracted! It's great to see how quickly some are learning their way around this new forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwain Dibley. Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I think it's great Martin, the only thing I cannot do, is put old photos in a new album, BUT, I don't think it really matters. D.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to create some sort of structure/filing system for the old photos. Dick Hi Dick - and Dwain. Go to Create near the top of the page and click Gallery Image where you will see the option to create a new album. Alternatively, you can simply tick the images you want to move and click on the arrow which appears under the pictures - this allows you to create a new album but unlike the former method requires much more input.

PeterF Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Yes I like the site, I frequent another forum based on Invision so up to speed quite quickly, threads are there but I need to search around for them. Unintended consequence appears to be that none of my bookmarks in Chrome will link into the new site, Keep a bunch of the build logs I have written or contributed to or are relevant to stuff I am doing as bookmarks. aaaaaaaggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh. Search to find the threads again, then reset them as bookmarks on the PC. And then do it all again on my tablet. It will be worth it in the end.

GrumpyGnome Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hi Martin, I am not able to 'tick' images..... touching anywhere causes the image to Open. I went to my profile, found my activity, and selected images... I have created a new album and want to populate it. GG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Another image issue.... Unable to add additional comments. Screen flickers when text is added and you cannot save. I am using W10 on a MS Surface Pro4; behaviour is consistent on Edge, Firefox and Chrome browsers.

Dwain Dibley. Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) ? Ditto. 're no ticks. I would like to put things in albums, but the pics are in date order, it's not critical. It just depends what happens to the new pics I upload. Early days. D.D. Edited February 11, 2021 by Dwain Dibley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Sorry chaps, but this change doesn't sit well with me. I find it awkward to use, not so easy to swap between subjects or get an easy overview of what's being discussed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hi Cuban, 'Unread content' and 'all activity', the dropdown selections from the 'forum' menu are the best ways to see what's happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Whisky Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I always had my browser icon linked to take me straight to Forum Latest Posts. That link now fails and I cannot see how to access all the latest posts on the new site. That would be a great loss to me if the facility is no longer available. Is there a link to all the latest posts (in date order) that I have missed somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 To me it's pretty useless without a 'Latest Post' section - that's what made Modelflying different, now it's just the same as the other model sites! The latest post section enabled us to see what was happening and get quick answers to questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Whats happened to 'Edit Post' ? Message member? Each comment now takes up too much screen space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
