    We need to clean up our identities. How in the world did you manage to cut the old mans head off in my avatar?!? (after I had reduced the size so that it fit in the circle on the old site)
    Need to move the "join date" up so that it stays visible.
    Then move the silly unneeded buttons down into the pop-up section (there ... I've reacted)

    Then remove all that junk from from our notifications!!!

    Ok folks, next Tip for you.

    The new software has a Banners feature. You can see what those look like when you Hover over Classy's, Rosesense, UnkleJunkle or my User name next to one of our posts.

    A banner looks like this...

    And looks like this on a members Profile page...

    To set a Banner go to your Account details page and click on the 'Edit profile banner'. The following window will pop-up.

    To add an image (Profile banner) click Browse and choose an image. Note where it says 'You can drag the image to change the focal point of the banner'. When you are satisfied, click 'Okay'.

    That's it, you now have a Banner. You can change that whenever you want (monthly, weekly, daily or ???).

    It's easy !!!


    11:04am: Adding UJ's informative and useful post...
    And the closer the banner is to 1200px X 700px in size, the clearer it will look. Bigger than that works too as it will only display part of it, which you can drag around (shown above) to adjust the visible part of the pic.

    I wish people's join dates were able to be seen at a glance. I used to glance at peoples' join dates for various reasons. Now you have to click to see it in their overflow info or hover over their username to see it in profile summary.

    Would be great if the join date were moved from the overflow info and put just below the user's level status (vaping master, ultra member, new member, ECF Guru, etc)

    Okay, been actually looking around and trying out everything for 5he past few days. So I moved on to my smartphone to pull up ECF once again. Well it didn't quite work like I expected it to. As soon as I sign on, all these damn ads have taken up the viewing area of Chrome on my phone. Everything is totally unreadable, and i can't even use the filters or any other options to clear it up. Extremely frustrating . . . I am now going to be limited to just using a tablet to connect to ECF, especially when I'm away for my apartment.. NOT NICE ! ! ! :mad: :-x:censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::evil:

    @alexj-12, I have a couple of blog-related questions. Tried to find the answers myself and then bugged @classwife about it (to my shame), and she quite rightly directed me here.

    First, is there a way to rearrange the order of the posts within a blog? It occurred to me a little while ago that I could fiddle with the dates to get posts to appear in the order I want, but maybe there's a more straightforward method?

    Second, I can't find a way to delete either a blog or posts within a blog. What am I not seeing? Or is this for some reason not supported?

    Ha! I completely forgot I was supposed to mention that. Sheesh. Sieve for brains here.

    Note, though: I can edit a blog, i.e., change the name or the description. I just can't delete one.

    I notice none of the entries I made today has been approved yet. I'm sure there's a backlog of entries to review, though. It'll happen soon enough.

    @alexj-12 @classwife with the old software blog entries did not need to be approved.

    Is there an option to change that???

    Or, Classy, is that the way management wants it to be now???

    Thank you.

    I think they still have to get around to figuring these things out. I made a test blog entry the day the update was complete and posted here about this approval issue. It's still not approved. Of course now I just want to delete it, but there's no option to do that lol.
