I have only read to page 8, but could you do away with the popup wanting you to register every time I come to the site.

I hate having to close it every time I want to login.

If you never log out and never delete the ECF cookie then you never see it. At least I don't...unless I log out...which I never do. :greengrin:

Yeah, irritating to see that big block, but I just click the "Log in" to the left on your grab, and it goes away and the proper fields show up.

A few folks using Windows desktops and laptops have mentioned the color of the down arrows (caret or caron) for popup nav as being difficult to see.

The dimmed out color over the dark header background color, caret next to Forums for example, is not the best color choice with that background. It looks washed out.

Can the carets be made larger making them obvious for people to see and notice???
It would be nice if all of them, sitewide, could be made slightly larger.

Or, maybe a different, lighter shade, for the header might make their current size stand out more???

It's not an issue on my iPhone or iPad due to the obvious differences in layouts. Also, I don't have an issue seeing them on my Mac desktops or laptop.

Thank you.

Since the site updates I have not been able to log in, can anyone please help me?
Thank you in advance
Need more information. Can you please be more specific in explaining the problem you are experiencing with logging in???

You are logged in now and with the same user ID you have used previously.

You last logged in on March 29, 2022.

What did you do to get logged in today???

If you were not able to log in then you could have never posted your reply ;).
You have to be logged in to post to threads or create new ones.

Ok but when I click on my name in the top right hand corner it says I have to log in to use this feature, and I can not find my mail.

Oh, I see. Sounds like a permissions issue to do with post counts or even those new XP points. For instance, with the old forum you could not receive or send PMs until you have 5 posts. Could be that this update has the parameters set differently and that maybe you have to have more posts (or points?) than you have to even access your profile, let alone your messages?

Seems like a lot of things might need a bit of ironing out yet.

Yes, you need to be logged in to create posts or threads etc. You can browse most of ECF without being logged in.

Am I somehow misunderstanding you???

What ECF feature are you trying to use when you are not logged in???

and I can not find my mail
Do me a favor. Click on your User name in the upper right corner of this page. When you do, you should see the following (you will see your User name)...

See where the letter symbol is, immediately to the right of the Bell symbol???

Click the letter symbol (Conversations, or mail as you call it) and that will (should) take you to your mail (conversations) page.

Does it???

Then you should see new mail from me. Please reply to that. If you are able to reply then we know your mail is working.

Thank you.

Honestly I am not sure, I have been trying for two day and finally got in somehow.

I left and came back and this time when I click on my name it doesn't say that that I need to log in anymore.
Still looking for the PM's
Thank you to all who have responded to this

Ok I did that when I came back, left for a bit, and everything seems to be ok now.

before when I clicked on my user name it told me to log in but when I did it said I was logged in.

I am going to log out and back in a few times and see what happens.

Again thank you to everyone who has replied.

Just so you know.

Per Classy from a thread in the New User Intro's sub...

Welcome to ECF @ ---------

You can go ahead and post wherever, you just can't link or PM until after 5 posts :)

What thread were you trying to post in ?
It could be that it's a locked thread.

I scrubbed out the user name in Classy's post (to protect the innocent :lol:).

Does not go away, but I can login without closing it. But I see no reason for it anyway.
