Chit Chat in VOLTVILLE Thread #2 :)

Awsum, are you ignoring me? Here it is again: Xen Foro tips and tricks | ECF

 

[Renolizzie]

All I know is.....we're baaaaack!!!! Yay!

I'll have to figure out what is different as I go along.

 

[awsum140]

I logged out in disgust, sorry Cetli.

I looked at the tips and tricks. Wow, it resizes for phones, what a boon for me. In terms of navigating there's nothing. I'm pretty disgusted so far.

Lol Uncle Just wait a lil bit. Mine showed up right after I read your post. I think you have to wait for them to kick in or something.

Same Here . . .

Like I said a "user guide" would be nice.

What I really miss is the "Settings" page that showed subscribed threads and subscribed forums. Now those are separate and there's no quick way to navigate between them. This whole thing may be nice for those of you who frequent lots of BB services, but it's no fun at all for those of us that don't.

YEP - If would be helpful if they had even something similar, however I don't think that is going to happen - at least not right away . . . Now as for a user's guide, if you take a little time to check out this thread that I posted before, it will provide some hints about the new user interface here: Xen Foro tips and tricks | ECF

BTW: As for the "Settings" link & page - that is now under Personal Details "Your Account" as "Watched Threads" (which also has a list of ALL threads at the bottom of the page) that I would suggest once "You" get there that "You" save as a bookmark so that it is the first thing you see . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Uncle, yours are just taking longer to process because YOU GOT SO MANY!

YEP - Already up to 823 Trophies . . .

Now - Since I am so "egotistical" . . . If I can only reach some of the other milestones that some other people have in Notable Members Thread so I won't be left on the bottom of the list . . .

@ "awsum" . . .

Just found that if you go to the main page, just under the ECF Banner there is a grey are with the following "Headers" listed:

• 
  
  
  • Mark Forums Read
  • Search Forums
  • Watched Forums
  • Watched Threads
  • New Posts
  • Threads You Ignore
  • Watched Tags
  • Forums You Ignore

If You click on the "Watched Threads " = "Settings" which should have a list of the the current threads "You" actually "Subscribed" to with any current/new post . . . AND - Then if "You" continue to the bottom of that page "You" will see "Show All Watched Threads" which again are all the Threads "You" have subscribed to also . . . Hope this helps Ya' . . .

I can't find half my stuff and don't even know what BB services are. Sure going to take some time to figure this out and I don't have much right now.

Ooh, Hawaii, right?

 

[Wuzznt Me]

Anybody got an idea about how I can find a "watched" thread even if nobody's posted in it?

Go to the bottom of the page of "Watched Threads" - "You" will see "Show All Watched Threads" . . . Clink on that link and "You" will see all "Your" Subcribed Threads . . . Just Sayin' . . . Oh Yea I did already - Didn't I . . .

 

[Wuzznt Me]

Thanx Unc. I think I'm a lost cause.

I found that on the first login, Uncle.

Like I said, there is no concise page showing subscribed, active, threads and subscribed forums. It used to be so easy to just click settings on the menu bar and refresh and/or navigate from there. Now, if you go to your profile, you need to go back to the main page, or use your back button then refresh, to get back to your subscribed threads for example. Certainly not very user friendly , or convenient from my perspective. Then again, I am a "dinosaur". I guess some will like this new, wonderful, feature packed, state of the art, software.

Well - IMO - "You're" Not, because if "You're" a lost cause - then I am surly a gonner . . .

AH - But that work around is simple enough - that is if "You" use another Window/Tab to open the thread . . . That's what I've been doing and when I am done reading just close the Window/Tab and refresh the original page . . . Just a thought . . . "

 

[awsum140]

I already have eight tabs open. Adding another to the same site to do what should be available on one page just isn't a good option.

I feel like a good friend went into the hospital and came out as a cow, with three legs and two tails.

But what about your friends here? It is the people, not the software that make a good forum. We'll get used to it, and they'll get the bugs worked out.

 

[awsum140]

Yeah, but if using the forum is a pain it means hanging out in the forum isn't as much fun. Kind of puts a damper on things, at least to me.

 

[tmcase]

Gez Louise I'm so lost. I think I'm too tired to try and learn a new forum tonight. At least I found Voltville.

Night everyone.

 

[Uncle]

These links at the New OP System's Website maybe helpful for some to use as a kinda of "User's Guide" for the New Interface here on ECF: XenForo Tips & Guides | XenForo Community and XenForo FAQ

Now while I don't know how I did it yet - I have also been able to make Voltville Chat Thread a "Sticky" in "My" - "Watched Threads" List as soon as I find out how I did it and that it can be done again - I will come back to let people know . . .

I know I am too tired to fuss over a new format tonight. Maybe tomorrow after a couple of cups of coffee
