"My posts" is still 'my threads' without going to my actual posts as can be accessed by clicking on my name and then clicking on "view forum posts".

The current "My Posts" button is the same as it was before - yes it shows threads. But there used to be a "Your Posts" under Quick Links that's no longer there - that sounds like what you're looking for. I never did see the utility in that, but other than clicking on "view forum posts" under your own username, you can also do an Advanced Search, select the Search Single Content Type tab, type your username under the "User Name" field, then at the bottom click on "Show Results as POSTS" and click Search Now.

The button I'm really missing is the "Unanswered Posts" that would show all threads that had zero responses - it was always a quick way to see if there were any threads that might otherwise slip through the cracks and go unanswered.

You're right, it's the 'Quick Links" that's missing where one could easily get 'my posts' rather than 'my threads' ;-) (I do know the longer workarounds). I also miss the 'unanswered' - always a good one to check esp. on the new members forum...

edit
...and still going back to first post upon submitting ;-)

... but not on 'saving'! stayed right here??

This is all due to putting the SEO back online. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) changes URLs to make them more friendly for Google and such. "New Posts", "Go to first unread post", etc. will be tweaked back to what we expect them to be. It just takes some extra work.

Of course. I assume feedback is still wanted. We could wait until everything is declared 'done', I suppose.

Is there a way to get the posts to read from newest to oldest (newest being the first post on the first page) until our notifications directs us to the last page?

Not sure if this would work on subscriptions, but you can try it. Go Settings>General Settings>(scroll to) Thread Display Options> Thread Display Mode> and chose 'linear - newest first'.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, and since feedback is wanted:

'Blogs'; 'Today's Posts'; Today's Suppliers Posts; 'My Posts'

When I navigate to the above pages, the 'Today's Last Post' and the 'Forum' columns are not displaying properly with only a fraction of the information showing. I have to scroll over with my mouse to see which forum the post is in.

The same applies to the poster and the time stamp.

All other columns are good.

The main page shows up beautifully!

Thanks for all your hard work!

I am a GUY from L.A. not girl. lol
Two things. Imbedded youtube links are not working

Also, when I go to "My Posts", many of my posts threads are either missing, or out of order.

BTW, thanks for all your help. Your doing a great job!

I would, however, like to reiterate the need for an eGo specific forum. The eGos now have alot more to them that are not 510 compatable, it leads to alot of confusion for new members especially.

Thanks!

Why can't I post a link to a thread? This is what happens when I copy the thread title and paste. No link. Is it just me?

► Sticky: Burning Cartomisers? Dangerous?-E9/VK/bloog/totem/808/DPV9/Smoke51...etc

Instead of just copying and pasting, try right-clicking the link and select "Copy Link Location" then paste as normal.

There's a new "Insert Video" button up top when you're writing a message, or you can just use and /video (with the brackets) just like embedding an image or quote with [img] or [quote].

Please please keep giving us feedback, I can't track down every issue unless I know there is one...

I *believe* I was able to fix the New Posts / Latests Posts / Jump to My Last Post links....

I'll start pruning through this thread and add an ongoing issues things to the first post when I have some time... Right now, sleep calls :D

Voltaire, when I right click on the thread title (on the main page), I just open the thread. No "copy link location" option. What am I missing? Thanks for trying to help. :facepalm:
