What are they for ? The black stars mean that there are posts you haven't read in that section, but I don't see black circles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was something similar, before they changed everything, but I can't remember which meant what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click on a black star (popular post I guess) or a black dot (less popular post I guess) it will bring you directly to the new post you haven’t read yet. Saves you on scrolling all the way down. On the old forum, it was a little yellow thingy in almost the same position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Black star means there are new posts in a topic you have posted in. Black dot means there are new posts in a topic that you haven't posted in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks Lewis I will leave it for now. Not sure I can cope with all this change. Ask me in 5 years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Ali’s girls, if you click on your name at top right of page,then click accounts,then signature,then just type in what you want. You can add your location as the first line, then we can all feel connected again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Ali you can do it. I know you can. I did! Actually I'd never have found it if Lewis hadn't posted. Then I lost it again and went EEK and after several clickies I spotted it again. So now I've added my address. Sort of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Finally discovered how you can make a hard return (enter). But so far I only manage to do it on a laptop. On my iPad it still isn’t possible. If you are on a computer, you have to press shift plus return and it will give you a normal return. Managed to condense my signature that way at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I've deleted loads from my 'inbox' because it said my inbox was full, and then it says I can't send a PM and yet when I go on the PM's I already have, I can reply at the bottom. I don't get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlina Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Popped in 2/3 weeks ago. Hated the new look. Found it impenetrable. Decided to come back when I had more time/was less grumpy It's still not at all user-friendly I belong to loads of forums, some which have barely been redesigned since the 1990s and some which are clearly aimed at 'young people' This seems to manage to incorporate the worst of both worlds It's a shame because it was a simple, clean and effective lay-out. And now it's not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I didn’t like it at first but now I just go straight to the menu, select unread activity and just use that. Not too different to before. And I love the ability to just paste photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Well I'm still struggling to send any new PM's I now only have 5 messages in my inbox, having deleted at least 350. It still tells me my inbox is full. Something is seriously wrong with the programming. I can't even send a message to Matt or Christian asking them to help me.

I think this should now be resolved, the limit seems to have been set at 0 by the process that migrated us over from the old software - I've corrected that now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'm just venturing into this new world so apologies if someone had already asked this and it's been answered, but what's with the 'community reputation' number score ??? It sounds as though we are being secretly assessed ! Should I be worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I think it's to do with how many "likes" you get etc. To be honest I've not bothered much with the likes - I forget to use them anyway. So I don't take any notice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I posted on another thread then, after having hit the button, realised I'd made a smelling error. I went back in to 'edit' and, once I had done so, it asked me for a reason! I flippantly typed in 'old age and inattention' and, lo and behold, there it states same at the end of my post 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
